According to screen owners the demand from C centers is equally strong and the makers of the film will be releasing more prints this week to cater to the movie audience demand to watch Manam.
Ticket sales recorded a 20% hike even on Monday, something never heard of in recent times. One hears the movie ticket has been selling at premium in many of the single screen in rural areas.
The movie released in 600 screens and will add 20% more screens for the coming week.
