On 23rd September 2024, National Cinema Day will be celebrated in India by offering movie tickets to people for only Rs. 75. The offer will be held at over 4000 participating screens, including CINEPOLIS, PVR, CARNIVAL, CITY PRIDE, INOX, MUKTA A2, WAVE, DELITE, MIRAJ, MOVIE TIME, M2K, ASIAN and many more. It was initially supposed to be held on 16th September, but MAI had to postpone it to 23rd September for the massive response of the audience, and to maximize participation from people.
National Cinema Day aims to unite the audience of all ages to enjoy a day of seeing movies. This is done to cherish the reopening of multiplexes and cinemas after the long break and as a gesture of gratitude to the moviegoers. This is mainly for those who have not yet stepped into the movie halls after the pandemic.
India has a thriving film industry, both domestic and international. It has also witnessed some of the fastest global recoveries in the film business. It recorded impressive numbers in Quarter 1, FY’23 cinema operators, local tent poles, and international cinemas that resonated with the Indian audience. It was marked with some of the most significant domestic all-time hits like RRR, KGF: Chapter 2, Bhool Bhulaiya 2, and Vikram.

How To Book The Tickets For The Day
Ticket booking is no rocket science; you must have booked over a hundred tickets for yourself by now. However, because it is a special day with reduced prices, we are here to help you book the tickets to your favorite movie, so you don’t miss the chance to see the film on the big screen at the special prices.
Offline Ticket Booking
If you want to book your ticket offline, you must go to the cinema hall near you and book the ticket at the counter on 23r September 2024. This might be time-consuming as people in large numbers are expected to book the tickets for the show on that day, and the concessional rates only make it more probable for a larger crowd to choose the cinema to bring in their weekend. So we suggest you aim for the nearest cinema near your home and reach it beforehand so your chances of getting a ticket in the desired seat are high.
Online Ticket Booking
If you want to avoid the hassle of waiting for your chances in a long queue and not getting the seat of your choice, the best thing to do is book your tickets in advance. First, you must visit online booking sites like Bookmyshow, Paytm, CINEPOLIS, CARNIVAL, or INOX. Then, select your current location, choose the movie that is running and you would like to watch, click on the price of the ticket, choose the seat of your choice and then pay for the tickets. As said earlier, the total price, including booking charges and GST, will make your tickets cost more than 75, but it will be much lower than what you usually book for your movies.
