A children's film has returned to Indian cinemas after one year. Hollywood's live action animation film 'Tom and Jerry' was released on 19 February. Children's popular cartoon characters Tom and Jerry have landed on the big screen through the Warner Bros. production house film.
The film brought a sigh of relief for the Indian cinema hall awaiting a big release. Releasing on 600 screens in the country in English and four Indian languages, the opening of the film is good. However, the footfall or earnings figures have not yet been released.
Kunal Sahni, Senior VP, Cinepolis Multiplex, says the film performed better than expected. Earlier Warner Bros.'s live action animation film 'Pokémon: Detective Pikachu' was released in India in 2019. It did good business. At the same time, Disney's animation film 'Onward' came on March 6, 2020. Released before lockdown, the film did a business of around 2.25 crores in a week. According to film trade pundits 'Tom and Jerry' will perform well.
Girish Wankhede, who is associated with the film trade and producer, says animation is a segment that everyone likes. Tom and Jerry are characters who are known to grow up in the family as well as children. Tom and Jerry are kind of Legendary characters.
Now children and elders will be able to see their beloved cartoon characters in live action, ie in the human world. The number of such animated films made in India has been a good business. Be it Ganesha, Ghatotkacha or Bal Ganesh. However Hollywood films like Tom and Jerry are ahead in terms of budget and technology.
