Film chamber raises concerns over new theatre categories
Industry representatives have expressed concern over the new classification system for single-screen and multiplex theatres.
The chamber is particularly worried about the newly introduced ‘special theatre’ category and its rules.
According to the chamber, the new provisions could have a significant impact on the viability of single-screen theatres, particularly town theatres in small towns and semi-urban areas.
The film chamber has urged the government to reconsider the provisions and review the classification and ticket pricing changes introduced through GO 77.
