The
Ministry
of
Home
Affairs,
under
the
new
set
of
guidelines
for
Unlock
5.0
has
stated
that
cinemas,
theatres,
multiplexes
will
be
allowed
to
resume
operations
with
up
to
50
per
cent
seating
capacity
from
October
15,
2020.
The
MHA

Meanwhile,
the
Maharashtra
government
has
also
issued
fresh
guidelines
stating
that
the
theatres
in
the
state
will
remain
closed
until
October
31.
The
Tamil
Nadu
government
has
also
decided
not
to
open
cinema
halls
until
the
end
of
October.
It
must
be
recollected
that
cinema
halls
across
the
country
have
remained
closed
since
March
to
curb
the
spread
of
COVID-19.
Some
of
the
last
few
Bollywood
films
to
get
a
theatrical
release
were
Shubh
Mangal
Zyada
Saavdhan,
Baaghi
3
and
Angrezi
Medium.
And
due
to
the
unending
wait,
a
number
of
big
movies
such
as
Sadak
2,
Gulabo
Sitabo
and
Khaali
Peeli
went
ahead
and
opted
for
an
OTT
release.
Cinemas/
theatres/
multiplexes
will
be
permitted
to
open
with
up
to
50%
of
their
seating
capacity,
for
which,
SOP
will
be
issued
by
I&B

Government
of
India
