TGV Cinemas is working towards welcoming moviegoers to a fully vaccinated environment from 23rd September this month.

The decision was made after consultation with movie studios who are working tirelessly on seeking local censorship approvals for their movies, cinemagoers can expect an exciting line up of major releases in conjunction with TGV’s reopening including “Black Widow” starring “Scarlett Johansson,” “Jungle Cruise” starring Dwayne Johnson, Daniel Craig in “No Time To Die” and many more in the month of September.

“We have now received the updated movie line ups from our studio partners, it’s evident that major Hollywood titles will only be ready for cinemas to exhibit from September 23rd. Also, our primary focus is the safety & security of all our staff & guests and to ensure we reopen complying with all SOPs, TGV is taking every necessary precautionary measure and will not rush into reopening.” says Mohit Bhargava – GM of Sales & Marketing, TGV Cinemas.
