Movie
theatres
across
India
are
gearing
up
to
officially
reopen
on
Friday
(October
16)
after
months
of
lockdown
since
March,
owing
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic.
The
unexpected
pandemic
situation
had
led
to
many
Hindi
movies
scheduled
for
release
in
the
past
few
months
to
be
postponed,
and
some
other
films
which
had
released
just
before
the
lockdown
did
poor
business.
