Due to the latest wave of the epidemic hit us a few of months ago, many states across the country reduced theatre occupancy rates back to 50%. The COVID-19's impact has now diminished dramatically, and several states have resumed allowing 100 percent occupancy in movie theatres. Kerala's government has chosen to reopen the cinemas with full houses starting today. megastar Mammootty's next flick Bheeshmaa Parvam, which is due to enter theatres this Friday, would benefit greatly from this.
Kerala is one among the COVID-19 pandemic's worst-affected states. The administration has agreed to allow full occupancy rates in cinemas as the situation eventually returns to normal. maharashtra is still the only state among the significant contributing areas for film to enforce the 50% capacity rule. This would definitely affect the box office prospects of several biggies and the first movie would be radhe shyam to get affected so bad.
Even maharashtra is anticipated to repeal the ordinance in the coming weeks. After months of battle, it appears that the theatres are returning to their previous status. Everyone is praying that things stay the same and that we don't be hit by another epidemic wave.
