Shanti has been entertaining the audience with regular "family-fare". That is one of its major plus points. With the film-industry slump, Hyderabad's many theaters - like Shalimar at Ramkote, for instance - turned into marriage halls or started selling themselves to different managements. Shanti, on the other hand, stays in season by sticking to movies that appeal to everybody - the young and the old, the arty and the masses.
