Amaran starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead is a biographical war action film that is slated to release in theaters on October 31, 2024 for Diwali. The movie like other Tamil movies off late will have a Premium Large Format (PLF) release, however what sets Amaran apart is the meticulous planning that has gone into converting the film to PLF for over two months.
PLF 4K by EPIC-QUBE provides a full screen experience as opposed to the normal cine scope which comes with black borders at the top and bottom while viewing. PLF 4K screens has been steadily growing ever since it was first popularized by the Tamil movie Beast in 2022, in an attempt at luring audience from OTT back to theaters, and providing an immersive experience.
These days, most Tamil movies also release on PLF format in addition to standard. However the Tamil cine audience have noticed a pattern of lax, in the conversion of movies to the PLF format. Just in 2024, the viewers have expressed disappointment with the PLF screenings of even big productions like Vettaiyan (Rajinikanth), and The Greatest of All Time (Vijay).
Mc Exclusive: #Amaran will have a proper PLF (Premium Large Format) release this year. Previously, other big films had PLF releases, but they were merely converted films, which resulted in black borders at the top and bottom.
