Mumbai: Cinépolis India, the first international cinema exhibitor, is thrilled to announce a special initiative to rejuvenate the excitement and enthusiasm for the movie-going experience. In celebration of Cinema Lovers Day, Cinépolis is offering movie tickets at an incredibly affordable rate of Rs 99. This special offer is available for one day i.e. 31 May 2024 and is aimed at encouraging audiences to return to the theatres and rediscover the unique and irreplaceable experience that only cinemas can provide.
In a country where cinema is celebrated as a religion, movie-watching is a great way to celebrate togetherness. Families, friends, colleagues all come together to celebrate cinematic brilliance to forget the outside world for those three hours. With a varied range of F&B offerings and a safe space of hanging out, cinema halls are truly a go-to place for entertainment. And thus, offers and celebrations like Cinema Lovers Day are a great draw for more and more people to visit their nearest multiplex. This year across Cinepolis multiplexes along with the box-office offer, we are also offering the popcorn and coke combo @ Rs 150 only just to give our movie lovers another compelling reason to watch their favourite movies on the 60mm silver screen.
Cinépolis India MD Devang Sampat commented on this initiative and said, “At Cinépolis, we are deeply committed to enriching the movie-going experience beyond just attractive offers. Cinema Lovers Day is not just about affordable tickets; it’s about celebrating the magic of cinema. We want to offer a holistic experience that captures the essence of storytelling and community, creating lasting memories for our audience that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Russia-India cinematic spectacle Persimmon of My Love set for grand Moscow debut
Hindi cinema style musical revives Indo-Soviet cinema ties for today
MUMBAI: A new chapter in cross-border storytelling is set to unfold as Persimmon of My Love gears up for its premiere in Moscow on 1 April 2026, marking the first large-scale cinematic collaboration between Russia and India in decades.
Positioned as a modern nod to the cultural exchange that once brought Indian classics to Soviet audiences, the film blends Hindi cinema flair with Russian storytelling, aiming to rekindle a long-standing cinematic friendship.
Directed by Marius Weisberg, the musical comedy follows two brothers navigating a lively world of music, family and romance. The lead roles are played by Demis Karibidis and Mikhail Galustyan, with Karibidis also contributing as a screenwriter.
Shot entirely in India, the production leans heavily into Hindi cinema style spectacle. Filming took place across Mumbai studios and the cities of Udaipur and Jodhpur, whose architecture was used to create the fictional setting of Khurmada. A crew of over 350 worked on the project, with large-scale sequences featuring up to 1,000 extras.
The film also brings Indian creative talent into the mix. Dance sequences are choreographed by Jay Kumar, while music by Zurab Matua features songs in both Hindi and Russian, adding to its cross-cultural appeal.
Backed by TNT channel, MyWayStudio and the Russian Cinema Fund, the project reflects a broader push to strengthen cultural ties between the two countries.
With its mix of colour, comedy and cross-border collaboration, Persimmon of My Love is not just a film release but a reminder that cinema, much like music, travels well across borders.
