The Multiplex Association of India (MAI) and Cinemas across India, welcome moviegoers to spend a day at the movies with celebratory admission price of Rs. 75 to mark National Cinema Day. The National Cinema Day was previously announced to be held on 16th September, however, on request from various stake holders and in order to maximize participation, it would now be held on 23rd September.

National Cinema Day will be held at more than 4000 participating screens and will include cinema screens of PVR, Inox, Cinepolis, Carnival, Miraj, CityPride, Asian, Mukta A2, Movie Time, M2K Delite and many others.

National Cinema Day will bring together audiences of all ages to enjoy a day at the movies. National Cinema Day celebrates the successful reopening of cinemas and is a ‘thank you’ to the moviegoers who made this happen. National Cinema Day is also an invitation to those moviegoers who haven’t made it back to a cinema near them, yet.

India has a thriving domestic film industry and has seen one of the sharpest recoveries in the film exhibition business, globally. Quarter 1, FY’23 recorded impressive numbers among cinema operators on the back of global and local tent poles that resonated with the Indian audience. The quarter was marked by the release of some of the biggest domestic hits like “KGF: Chapter 2,” “RRR,” “Vikram,” “Bhool Bhulaiya 2” and Hollywood hits such as “Doctor Strange” and “Top Gun : Maverick.”

More details of the special offers or exclusions (if any) will be made available at the participating cinemas, their websites and social media handles. More announcements and updates will be shared at #NationalCinemaDay.
