Backed by Anubhav Sinha and Bhushan Kumar, the film has been released on limited screens. Some Twitter users have also expressed disappointment about the limited shows in theatres. One user wrote, “@anubhavsinha sir can't find good show timings for #Afwaah. one show in the morning and one in the night or single show in many theatres. These timings will kill the movie and good content.” Another added, “@IAmSudhirMishra sir where to watch #Afwaah , it is not released in my near by thetares and on the other hand it is released in far by thetares which is little costly for me ... But I wish to watch it.”
Can’t see shows for #Afwaah in theatres. Can anyone tell me if it’s showing anywhere? Has the film even released in Delhi ? Or am I missing something?
