Cinemas of Mumbai prohibited playing any show after 8:00 pm on December 31

The Covid-19 scenario once more has begun out to become worse especially in the entertainment capital, Mumbai. The cases have risen exponentially in the last 10 days, compelling the government to reimpose certain regulations in the city. This is especially taking in mind that tomorrow is December 31, that is, New Year’s Eve, whilst citizens are in a mood to gather and party.

Realizing that any such scenario can result in sizeable Covid-19 instances, the Mumbai Police has imposed Section 144 in the city. Earlier in the day, restaurants and events had been not asked to keep away from gatherings and events And now, we have observed out that the cinema halls, too, had been requested to observe certain regulations, albeit best for December 31.

A source from a multiplex informed us, “We have been told that no show should be played beyond 8:00 pm tomorrow. Meaning, the last show of the day should begin before 8:00 pm, say at 7:30 pm or 7:45 or 7:55 pm.”

The source continued, “We had got a lot of bookings for night shows of 83, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Pushpa: The Rise – Part 01 for tomorrow. As these shows stand cancelled, we’ll refund the money to the viewers. Since the time we have been informed about this directive, we have stopped selling tickets of tomorrow’s night shows at the box office counter.”

The quantity of everyday Covid-19 cases crossed the 3000 mark today in Mumbai. Delhi, meanwhile, has already closed down cinemas since Tuesday. The source said, “As of now, we are told to follow this rule only for a day, on December 31. We hope that in the coming days, the authorities don’t impose restrictions or don’t ask us to shut down. We had just restarted months back, after all”.
