Reference Tweet from the Office of the Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Theatres and auditoriums in Maharashtra being allowed to reopen after 22nd October 2021

“It is a very heartwarming development for us and we thank the Honorable Chief Minister of Maharashtra for their decision to take consideration of the real challenging situation which the cinema exhibition industry is currently undergoing for which Maharashtra holds the key for the revival.

Opening of Maharashtra is specifically significant because 18% of our screen strength lies in Maharashtra, the highest in our circuit and serves as a focal center for the entertainment industry.

While we wait for the exact date for permissions to be granted to reopen and the SOPs to be followed, we would like to assure the Government and eagerly awaiting movie lovers that all our ground level staff and employees across the state are 100% vaccinated.

PVR had already reopened its cinemas on 30th July 2021 post the second wave in states and UT’s where multiplexes and theatres had been given the go-ahead to reopen with restrictions in seating capacity and operating hours.

Currently out of the 17 states and 4 UTs where PVR operates, PVR is already open in 14 states and 3 UTs where permissions have been given.

PVR has always strived to offer unique experiences and we certainly look forward to welcoming our patrons with fresh content, innovative offers, to enjoy movies exclusively with one’s friends and family in our 100% safe cinemas.”
Mr. Gautam Dutta, CEO, PVR Limited
