Fans Disappointed as Multiple ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ Shows Cancelled at Aamir Khan Film Festival
Aamir Khan’s 60th birthday was marked by a nationwide film festival celebrating his illustrious career. Fans eagerly anticipated the re-release of 22 of his iconic films, including classics like Dangal and 3 Idiots. However, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment as numerous screenings of Dil Chahta Hai were canceled, leaving many fans heartbroken.
Film Festival Highlights Aamir Khan’s Legacy
The Aamir Khan film festival was launched to honor the actor’s contributions to Indian cinema. The festival featured a selection of 22 films that have left a lasting impact on audiences over the years. Among these, Dil Chahta Hai stood out for its humor, memorable music, and cult following. Fans were eager to relive the film’s iconic moments on the big screen, but the reality fell short of expectations. Despite the festival’s intention to celebrate Khan’s work, the execution faced significant challenges. Many fans reported that tickets for Dil Chahta Hai were available for booking, yet the film was not screened during the first two days of the festival. This led to confusion and frustration among moviegoers who had planned their outings around this beloved classic.
Disappointment Over Canceled Screenings
Sources revealed that the cancellation of Dil Chahta Hai screenings was due to the non-issuance of the Key Delivery Message (KDM), a crucial component for film showings. Although a few screenings took place on Sunday afternoon, they were insufficient to meet the high demand from fans. Many theaters had to issue refunds to those who had purchased tickets, while some offered alternative screenings of other Aamir Khan films like Taare Zameen Par. This situation left fans disheartened, as they were unable to enjoy the film’s iconic songs and scenes in a communal setting. The lack of social media buzz surrounding the film’s screenings further highlighted the disappointment, as fans were unable to share their experiences of dancing and celebrating in theaters, a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere typically associated with such events.
Future Screenings and Fan Hopes
As the festival continues until March 27, fans remain hopeful that Dil Chahta Hai will return to theaters in the coming weekend. However, reports indicate that no screenings are scheduled for the weekdays, leaving many patrons anxious about the film’s availability. The festival’s organizers have faced criticism for not adequately planning the schedule to accommodate the high demand for certain films, including 3 Idiots, which has also seen a lack of screenings. While some fans have expressed their disappointment, others are looking forward to the full release of Andaz Apna Apna in April, as confirmed by producer Vinay Sinha’s daughter, Priti Sinha. The mixed reactions from fans underscore the importance of proper planning and communication in organizing such significant events, especially when honoring a beloved figure like Aamir Khan.
