National Cinema Day 2022: Can You Still Get Movie-Tickets At Just ₹75?

The date of National Cinema Day 2022 has been postponed on the request of some stakeholders. You could buy the film tickets at just ₹75 during the event.

The Multiplex Association of India (MAI), a commercial organization connected to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry), has shifted the next National Cinema Day event to Friday, September 23. This advances the day’s date by a week. 

The organizations have already released details on the day appreciating Indian cinema, which will be held on September 16 on Friday. The day, however, has now been postponed by a week.

What Is National Cinema Day 2022?

On National Cinema Day, a single day-long celebration organized by MAI in partnership with FICCI, moviegoers can see any film at a partner theater with the MAI for just ₹ 75. 

No multiplexes or movie theaters have confirmed special showings of classic or rare indie films during the event, as is common at film festivals conducted all over the world. In the participating theaters, audiences will consequently receive discounted entry to the latest movies.

It’s also possible that there will be restrictions on the amount of tickets that people may buy through the offer and the kinds of tickets they can buy at the discounted price.
