Comes in the form of virtual printing fees, unfortunately there is no level playing field here so Exhuma has been released in ’75. theater There are 107 shows per day. I am happy that we were able to reach places like Pondicherry, Aizawl, Imphal, Ita Nagar etc. But I would love to launch it in Dehradun, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Jorhat, Calicut and a few other cities from which we have received a lot of requests on our social media platforms request.

After watching the promotional video of Exhuma in Busan last year; I believe it can be released in India because it has Choi Min-sik. The cast was star-studded, and the visual effects were very good.
