“I hope that comes true,” Tandon said when asked if the July-September period would be the best quarter for the cinema exhibition industry. “The last couple of weeks have been extraordinarily good for footfalls in cinema halls, and even the pipeline looks very exciting.”
He noted that movies like Jawan, Oh My God 2, Gadar 2, Jailer, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Oppenheimer, and Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One have drawn record audiences to theatres.
Tandon is also hopeful that the cinema exhibition industry will return to pre-pandemic levels in terms of footfalls. “The movies that have come till now have had houseful shows, and people have loved them. We also love the hustle and bustle, which is back in the lobbies,” he said.
