'Cinema-Reinvented' --NY Cinemas Re-brands as "Devgn Cinex" -- with Maa Durga's blessings !! By Sr. Journalist Chaitanya Padukone

On the auspicious occasion of the recent Durga-Puja and Dussehra ( Bijoya Dashami) bolly-superstar actor film-maker Ajay Devgn joined hands with Vishwa Samudra Group to unveil Devgn Cinex, the new identity of NY Cinemas, at the iconic North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja organised recently  at the Juhu-SNDT campus grounds. The high-profile rebranding event drew the city’s cultural and film fraternity, marking a grand new chapter for cinema in India.

Interesting to note that "N-Y" was derived from the initial 'letters ' of Nysa and Yug which are the names of Ajay and star-actress- wife Kajol's daughter and son.
