Amid growing online chatter over the global box office performance of Coolie, Hamsini Entertainment, the film’s official overseas distributor, has issued a sharp statement condemning the spread of false and exaggerated collection figures.
According to the company, “certain groups and unofficial pages with vested interests” have been actively sharing fabricated numbers that mislead audiences and damage the reputation of the film. In response, Hamsini Entertainment outlined four key clarifications to ensure transparency and fairness.
Authenticity of Numbers
The distributor made it clear that only the film’s producers and Hamsini Entertainment are authorized to release box office updates. Any other numbers circulating online are unreliable and should not be treated as factual.
Misinformation and Its Impact
Highlighting the risks of such fabricated reports, the company stressed that misinformation not only misguides audiences but also causes significant harm to the credibility of the film, its stakeholders, and the audience’s trust.
Warning of Legal Action
In a firm stance, Hamsini Entertainment stated that it is closely monitoring such activities. Any deliberate attempt to manipulate or defame the film will invite strong legal remedies, including defamation claims and financial damages.
Appeal to Trade and Media
The statement also urged exhibitors, trade partners, and media outlets to verify collection reports exclusively through official sources. “The audience’s love and support are the true measure of success,” the note emphasized, “and no misinformation campaign can overshadow that.”
Reiterating its commitment to transparency, Hamsini Entertainment reminded industry circles that cinema belongs to audiences and should not be undermined by vested interests. The company signed off under its banner, “Indian Cinema to the World”, adding that the statement could be used in legal proceedings if necessary.
This development highlights a growing concern in the film industry where box office numbers, often inflated or underreported, can shape public perception and affect a movie’s marketability. By taking a strong stance, Hamsini Entertainment has underscored the need for accountability and fairness in reporting film collections.
