National Movie Day 2023: How to book tickets online?
Those interested in taking advantage of National Movie Day offers can start booking tickets online through familiar platforms like BookMyShow, PayTM and official cinema chain websites, select the venue and then select your favorite movie and October 13 date.However, at the time of writing, there are only Bollywood films – especially the one led by Shah Rukh Khan Jawan and Akshay Kumar starrer Mission Raniganj — provides the option to select the desired date. I’m guessing this was done to benefit India’s box office collections, which isn’t surprising considering some industry stakeholders allegedly doubled down on efforts last year to postpone National Film Day to ensure Brahmastra was profitable.
While the deal doesn’t apply to premium formats like IMAX, 4DX or even recliner, the idea is that every movie is the same price no matter what time of day it is. That is, Rs. 99 Pricing does not include additional charges (convenience fee + GST) levied at the time of ticket purchase. However, the convenience fee does not apply to tickets purchased in person at the theater counter.
in a tweet, PVR Inox has revealed that despite the initial announcement, the National Movie Day offer may only be available in select cities. As per state regulations, theaters located in the southern regions of India (Tamil Nadu, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh) appear to be unable to offer tickets at Rs. 99. We saw similar exclusions last year. Food and beverages are also expected to start at a discounted price of Rs. 99 on October 13, although they entirely depend on the ticketing platform or theater you choose.
in a statement Back in September, MAI said: “This special occasion brings together audiences of all ages for a day of cinematic bliss and celebrates the incredible box office success of many of this year’s films. It’s A heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all the moviegoers who have contributed to this success, and an open invitation to those who haven’t yet returned to their local cinemas.” National Film Day was launched globally for the first time last year, with slashed ticket prices, But internationally, fares are the same for all formats.
