Tips for festival movie planning
- Book tickets early for weekend and festival dates — films releasing on long weekends usually sell fast.
- Check language/dubbing options — several South Indian films release in Hindi and other languages simultaneously.
- Look for family-friendly shows during daytime and thrillers/horror for late-night screenings near Halloween.
