Tickets can be purchased both online and offline. Interested parties can buy tickets through the multiplexes' websites, as well as through services like BookMyShow and Paytm. Additional information about ticket and food deals will be available at the theaters, on their websites, and on their social media accounts.
The blockbuster film "Stree 2," starring Shraddha Kapoor, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Bahnerjee, is expected to benefit from the National Cinema Day weekend.
National Cinema Day was first introduced in 2022 by the MAI as a way to celebrate the return of theaters after the pandemic. The event offered significant discounts on tickets to encourage audiences to support theaters and help them recover from the financial losses incurred during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
