Various companies like PVR, INOX, Cinepolis, Carnival, Miraj, Citypride, Asia, Mukta A2, Movie Time, Wave, M2K, and Delite have agreed to be a part of the celebrations.

The announcement came just a day after the United States of America (USA) observed National Cinema Day on September 3. The price of one ticket was fixed at $3. On usual days, it is around $7.

"Cinemas come together to celebrate 'National Cinema Day' on September 16, to offer movies for just Rs 75," MIA tweeted.

The celebrations may benefit the upcoming Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra, which will release on September 9. The audience can watch the movie for just Rs 75 in theatres.

However, online platforms are still free to charge convenience fees and other taxes. The Rs 75 per ticket price is exclusive of the taxes and additional charges.
