Why is National Cinema Day celebrated?

The Multiplex Association of India initiated the idea of National Cinema Day in 2022 to commemorate the reopening of cinema halls after the COVID-19 pandemic. The association decided to offer significant discounts on movie tickets on National Cinema Day to encourage people to support cinema halls, which suffered huge losses during the pandemic.

Another reason to introduce National Cinema Day was to counter the competition posed by OTT platforms.

On National Cinema Day 2023, Over 4,000 screens at multiplexes from India, including PVR INOX, Cinepolis, Miraj, and Delite, have teamed up to participate in the celebrations.

However, multiplex owners have not pinned down a fixed date for National Cinema Day. After a few changes, MAI chose September 23 as National Cinema Day in 2022. However, in 2023, October 13 was the finalised date. Last year, the tickets were available at a discounted rate of ₹75. National Cinema Day 2022 was a massive success as it registered the highest-ever single-day admissions of 6.5 million people.
