After huge anticipation, the Tamil Nadu government on Wednesday finally issued an order permitting special shows for Rajinikanth’s Darbar, much to the delight of fans in the state. Starting tomorrow i.e. January 9, 2020, Darbar is allowed to have special shows for four days except the weekend i.e. January 9, 10, 13 and 14.

This means that in addition to the weekends [where the government has allowed theaters to hold 5 screenings], Darbar will have 5 screenings on the weekdays as well starting from 8:00 AM. 

It is worth mentioning here that such a permission was not given for Vijay’s Bigil and Karthi’s Kaithi despite the makers trying till the last minute for obtaining one. Over-pricing of tickets was stated as the reason for the same.
