Mumbai: Multiplexes and theaters are reopened on Friday after almost a year to a relatively rare crowd, except for film space that has offers and free for audiences.
One reason is a Covid guideline issued by the government.
In addition to the examination of temperature and green lice in Aarogya Setu application, some customers must provide a vaccine certificate and adapt new normally, given that the theater is allowed to operate at a capacity of 50%.
At Multiplex Borivli, a teenager who was very disappointed walked away from the box office with his mother because he was rejected as he was underage, even though the government did not mandate these requirements.
To draw an audience, some multiplex has a free morning exhibition, some throwing popcorn tub per ticket purchased and the other has discounted ticket prices.
“We were almost sold out for the morning exhibition at all of our multiplex in Maharashtra.
The overall selection during the day has reminiscent of pre-covid days and we believe that sentiment will remain like this,” said Rajeev Patni, COO, INOX LEISURE.
Siddhesh, Thane-based technical graduates, appeared at least 15 minutes earlier to capture a 9.55 morning show from the latest James Bond film.
“I’m here for that experience,” Siddhesh said while waiting for three friends.
While Pooja Parikh, who captured the new Marvel film exhibition at Nariiman Point, said it was important to take part in the safety protocol, he received the inability to ask friends in the adjacent chair about complex film scenes and the prospect of eating his staple.
Popcorn cheese – in Serambi as a small trade-off for a communal watch experience.
Four 20 students who converged in the Borivli movie hall after “a lot of research” because only the chosen film space was filtering Marvel and the group “had not missed one to date”.
The two films are the only release that attracts the audience for now, according to the Box Office staff.
Some multiplex like carnival cinema has opened less properties today because of limited content available.
“We are sure that footsteps will increase on November 5 when we have two big ticket releases.
We plan to open all our properties,” said Prashant Kulkarni, senior vice president, sales marketing, carnival cinema.
Multiplex management said that the audience looked more comfortable by stepping out now compared to last year.
“When we reopened the cinema for a brief spell in October-November 2020, some guests worried about using the bathroom.
Now, covering and cleaning sanitation has become a way of life.
In addition, our staff is 100% vaccinated and that inspires confidence,” said Multiplex owner.
Single screen does not have the same experience with multiplex.
In Thane’s Vandana Talkies, a larger crow statue of life that welcomes visitors, looks lonely.
The theater is between a single screen in the city that remains closed.
Nitin Flat Cinema Owner and Indian Exhibition Association stated that some single screens were waiting for a big release to reopen their gates and fate.
Among those who opened back were Maratha Mandir, whose manager recorded a steel of legs for their oldest 11:00 show.
“Vaccines,” said Monosyllabic manager when asked for a reason for this sauce.
Although the first demonstration purification was first and frightening.
The screen, criticism of Thakur’s dilip film remains optimistic.
“Crazy for films and cricket will never die.”
