23rd September was celebrated as the National Cinema Day on the call of the Multiplex Association of India (MAI), in which more than 4000 screens across the country participated, including cinema chains like PVR, INOX, Cinepolis, Carnival, Miraj, City Pride, Mukta A2, Movie Time, Wave, M2K, Movie Max and many others.
Due to state regulations with respect to cinema ticket pricing, South Indian states Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Kerala weren’t able to participate in the celebrations.
Now from Today to Thursday again films will run on reduced ticket prices which should benefit the film.
