National Cinema Day: The Multiplex Association of India (MAI) announced a few days ago that National Cinema Day in India will be celebrated on September 16th. On this day, it was stated that a ticket for Rs 75 would be required to see the film.
Earlier it was announced on the 16th of September but it is no longer going to happen. National Cinema Day will be celebrated on September 23rd. It has been postponed for a week in total. According to media sources, this decision was made because of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's film Brahmastra.
On September 9th, the picture was released. The film has grossed over 200 crores in India and overseas. The celebration has been postponed for a week so that there is no loss in the film collection as a result of this offer.
Previously, it was announced that National Cinema Day will be celebrated on September 16th in all cinemas around the country. In addition, on this day, consumers will be able to go to the theater and view the film for only Rs 75. This offer was made to express gratitude to the audience. Cinemas were also closed as the Corona pandemic caused a nationwide lockdown.
As a result, the theater's owners suffered financial losses. Last year, on September 16, 2021, the cinemas reopened. With Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra, the audience is returning to the theaters. Theater owners desire to enhance their stakes in such a circumstance. As a result, it was agreed to postpone National Day.
This Cinema Day has become popular in India after being celebrated in the United States. On September 3rd, America also observed National Cinema Day. Aside from the United States, similar events are planned throughout the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Its primary goal is to reintroduce audiences to the theatres.
National Cinema Day is a brand-new event that is already making waves in the United States, with theaters like AMC and Cinemark lowering ticket costs to $3 (about Rs. 240) this weekend. Eve n theatres in the United Kingdom are getting in on the act, with a celebration slated on Saturday, September 3, starting at £3. (about Rs. 277).
The official National Cinema Day website does not specify any limits, noting that all films, regardless of format or language, would be priced the same. However, the sum does not include any additional taxes assessed on purchases made through online third-party applications or websites.
In India, for example, BookMyShow is still required to charge extra internet costs and GST on top of the Rs. 75 pricing. If you want to save every dime, travel back in time and wait in lines.
