Lt Governor congratulated the people on the momentous occasion. He said the movie theatres are reflection of growing aspiration of J&K.
Chief Justice Chandrachud said, “A cinema hall owner has the right to regulate the entry of food and beverage. Whether to consume what is available is entirely upon the choice of the movie goer. Viewers visit the hall for entertainment.”
While talking about her experience with OTT and traditional cinema, she says “For me, OTT is more for the Web Series which we see, it is about 8 hours of viewing and it is good for personal viewing.
Cinema is a powerful creative medium that reflects the culture, values, and aspirations of the people, said Lt Governor Manoj Sinha.
Tamil Nadu is one of the states in the country that has produced several political leaders from the film industry including the former Chief Ministers M.G. Ramachandran, M. Karunanidhi, and J. Jayalalithaa.
Actor Shreyas Talpade believes that cinema halls and OTT both have their unique space and will not overpower each other.
The SOP comes in the backdrop of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India permitting the opening of cinema halls and theatres vide their order No. 40-3/2020-DM-I(A) dated 27 January 2021.
“It is, therefore, emphasised that to fully overcome the pandemic, there is need to maintain caution and to strictly follow the prescribed containment strategy,” the MHA said.
It is learnt that the Rupakatha Cinema Hall in Gangarampur opened on the first day with only two people. Owners of three more big cinema halls in the district did not open their halls at all due to fear of financial losses and mechanical faults.
