The postponement of this weekend’s planned release of Kochadaiiyaan left a hole in local theater schedules. Fortunately, Koyelaanchal — a movie I never in a million years would’ve picked to open in Chicago — stepped in to fill the void. The drama about a coal baron opens on May 9, 2014.

Koyelaanchal opens on Friday at the AMC South Barrington 30 in South Barrington. It has a listed runtime of 2 hrs. 27 min.

The South Barrington 30 and Regal Cantera Stadium 17 in Warrenville are also holding over 2 States for a fourth week.
