With UTV and Kiran Rao in the picture, Anand Gandhi’s Ship Of Theseus is getting some much deserved attention. The film is scheduled to release on 19th July in Mumbai, NCR, Kolkata, Bengaluru and Pune. To get the film released in other parts of the country, one can now VOTE for it. This kind of “Demand the film in your city” initiative is quite common in US and they have been able to release many films through it. Good to see the idea being tried here.
So if you are not from Mumbai, NCR, Kolkata, Bengaluru or Pune, this what you need to do watch SoT in your city – To submit a vote one needs to visit the ‘Ship Of Theseus’ Facebook page with or without logging in. And then go to ‘Vote For Your City’ tab and cast your vote. Cities that hit the 100% mark will see a guaranteed release.
The options include, but are not restricted to, Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Baroda, Chandigarh, Chennai, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Kochi, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Raipur, Rajkot and Surat. To choose any other Indian city, click on the ‘Others’ option and type out the name of your preferred location. Click ‘Submit’ to finalise your vote.

There’s only one reason why you should vote and demand the film – It’s easily one of the best films of the year. And you need to see it on big screen. Don’t get scared by it’s title if it seems pretentious to you. The film is accessible to anyone.

Waiting for it to open in the US.
With Kiran Rao and UTV at helm, I hope and pray this fine gem gets a US release.
Was quite disappointed when i got to know that it won’t release in Lucknow. but this looks like a ray of hope. I think its an amazing experiment even if it doesn’t release in every city. I hope this works enough as I look more forward for more movies like Ship of Theseus to come up with such an option where even people can be part of even getting a release.
why not release it online.. I am sure even cities like Jaipur and Lucknow have good internet speed and interested people can watch it online – youtube or google play or iTunes.. or what happened to the parallel release on DTH, which Kamal Hassan was trying out…Movies like SOT are perfect use cases for such releases…
If its reasonably priced, I too will watch it online or on DTH.. I have to shell out 350 rs just for the ticket to watch it in Bangalore theatres.. add parking and fuel and the total cost reaches 500.. I am not sure if I will spend that much for a hindi movie…
