- The prioritization of hygiene and sanitization standards: This will include the disinfection of all areas within a cinema’s premise, including the box office, security area, lobby, restrooms, and food and beverage stands. These measures will further be strengthened by the periodic deep cleaning and sanitization of strategic locations, and daily deep cleaning of auditorium seats.
- The safety of patrons and guests will be achieved through temperature checks with non-invasive infrared thermometers upon entry, mandatory usage of masks, and availability of hand sanitizers at all touch points within the theatre
- All cinema employees will be held to the highest standards of cleanliness, with only medically-certified staff permitted to work. The usage of masks, gloves, and the Aarogya Setu app will be mandatory.

Featuring Manoj Bajpayee, Diljit Dosanjh, and Fatima Sana Shaikh, ‘Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari’ is a fast-paced comedy set in the 1990s. Manoj Bajpayee plays the role of Madhu Managal Rane, a wedding detective hired by a series of families to investigate the backgrounds of potential grooms. In a time before mobile phones and the internet, this inevitably leads to an ever-escalating comedy of errors.
