The Indian Express··3 Sept
Dulquer Salmaan's I'm Game released worldwide on Thursday. Hyderabad shows for Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada versions were hit when Digital Cinema Packages missed the first show. Multiple morning shows were cancelled, with Telugu screenings among the worst affected. The Malayalam version played as scheduled. Some cancellations also followed low ticket sales, a theatre owner said.
