The tribal family was later allowed into the hall after the people raised the issue with the theatre management. GV Prakash, a composer, took to Twitter to express his thoughts on the matter. His tweet in Tamil is loosely translated as, “Later, I heard, the sister and brothers were allowed to enter the hall. It is unacceptable that they were not permitted in the first place. Art belongs to everyone.”

The post read, “We have taken note of the situation that has unfolded in our premises today morning before the screening of Pathu Thala Movie. A few individuals along with their children with valid tickets have sought entry to the cinema to watch the Pathu Thala movie. As we know, the movie is censored U/A by the authorities. Children below the age of 12 cannot be permitted to watch any movie that is certified U/A as per the law. Or ticket checking staff has denied entry on this basis to the family who had come with children aged 26,8 and 10.”
“However, since the audience gathered turned into a frenzy and took a different perspective of the situation without full understanding, to avert any law and order problem and to desensitise the matter, the same family was allowed entry to watch the movie on time.”
