Movie tickets can be purchased both online and at the box office. Platforms such as BookMyShow, Paytm, and the official websites of the multiplexes offer online booking options. More information about ticket and food & beverage offers can also be found on the websites and social media channels of the multiplexes and movie theatres.

Here’s a guide on how to book movie tickets online:

You simply need to choose the movie you wish to see and pick Friday as your preferred day. Note most national movies including those from Bollywood were made available before international movies. This has caused a houseful situation. However, the bookings for international films started late which is why seats are still available. Depending on the region, popular Indian films like Jawan, Mission Raniganj, and Thank You for Coming are available at discounted prices. Please be aware that prices may fluctuate based on taxes and multiplex charges.

Last year’s National Cinema Day saw a record-breaking 6.5 million admissions in a single day. This year, over 4000 screens will join in the celebration. Famous cinemas such as PVR INOX, CINEPOLIS, MIRAJ, CITYPRIDE, ASIAN, MUKTA A2, MOVIE TIME, WAVE, M2K, DELITE, among others are participating in this event.

Last month, the Multiplex Association of India issued an open letter explaining the rationale behind the new offer. The letter reads: “This special occasion unites audiences of all ages for a day of film enjoyment, commemorating the remarkable box office success of numerous films this year. It’s a sincere ‘thank you’ to all the cinema-goers who contributed to this success and a warm welcome to those who have yet to return to their local cinema.”
