The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has announced the guidelines for Unlock3. There has been a lot of curiosity about cinema halls being reopened to revive the entertainment industry. However, the MHA has cleared that cinema halls across the country will remain shut indefinitely.
Movie theaters have been shut ever since the lockdown began in the third week of March. Since then, theatrical release of several big-ticket, medium budget and even low budget movies has been postponed indefinitely, causing hundreds of crores of losses to the producers and the exhibitors.
Meanwhile, the multiplexes and single screens have now been equipped with the social distancing norms to ensure safety of the moviegoers.
