On September 23, today, theatres across India are celebrating National Cinema Day by charging a fixed rate of ₹75 for movie tickets. The cast of Ishqiyoun, produced by Himanshoo Pathak and director Payal Saxena, share their plans for the same.

National Cinema Day should be celebrated every month. I am really excited for this day. I believe everyone will be happy with this initiative and the reduced ticket prices will encourage all the cinema goers to go with their families.

I am very feverish about the day! In my opinion it’s an appreciable initiative. It will be very pocket friendly for those who don’t have a lot of money to have a world class cinema experience like in IMAX where the usual ticket starts from 800rs and it’s also a sign of equality. It doesn’t matter how much your appetite to pay is, you will still be charged 75 rs for any seat be it recliner or classic. I am sure I will go if I get time. I will watch Bhahmastra or Sita Raman.

This is such a huge and memorable day. I really want to thank MAI (Multiplex Association Of India). These kinds of initiatives are required, this is a gift for all the moviegoers. When savings and entertainment will be served to them together, MAI will make them smile even brighter. I’ll be very honest, I work as an actor in the industry, so for me everyday is National Cinema Day, but yes, I am very happy with this initiative. We can remind the world how fun it is to go to the cinemas. MAI’s Initiative is gonna play a pivotal role for our industry, and it’s going to be an immense day for films and filmmakers and it’s going to be a memorable day for all of us.

This has come as a gift for all the moviegoers. I am extremely excited. After the pandemic, this is an awesome opportunity for families to go and watch their favourite movies in the theatre. I am also going to watch Brahmastra.

I am very excited and I think it’s a great initiative by the multiplex association of India. In my point of view in every movie there should be a day where the cost of the ticket should be rupees 75 for the students only because they are not earning yet. Well I think I will watch “Matto Ki Cycle” cause I am a very big fan of Prakas Jha sir.
