Movies are more than just entertainment. They are a form of art, culture, and expression that can inspire, educate, and connect people across the world. Movies can also reflect the social and political realities of different times and places, and challenge us to think critically and creatively. That is why National Cinema Day is celebrated every year on October 13, to honour the impact of cinema on society and appreciate the talent and creativity of filmmakers and actors.

National Cinema Day, an initiative by the Multiplex Association of India (MAI), unifies over 4,000 screens across the country, encompassing famed chains such as Inox, Cinepolis, M2K, PVR, Citypride, Movie Time, WAVE, Miraj, Asian, Delite, and Mukta A2. The event was first held in 2022 on September 23, which marked the 100th anniversary of the release of India’s first feature film, Raja Harishchandra. The event was a remarkable achievement, attracting more than 6.5 million cinema lovers on that day, which was the highest single-day attendance ever recorded by the MAI.
