January 17, 2025, will be celebrated as Cinema Lovers’ Day, with all standard-format movie tickets priced at a flat rate of Rs 99 nationwide. This landmark move will offer subsidised ticket prices for movies released on this day, marking the first edition of the event. It is expected to benefit new Hindi releases, such as Kangana Ranaut's film ‘Emergency’ and Ajay Devgn's ‘Azaad.’
Cinema Lovers' Day On January 17, 2025
Kangana Ranaut's highly anticipated political drama ‘Emergency’ is set to release on January 17, 2025, with tickets priced at an affordable Rs 99 for the release day only. This initiative not only celebrates the power of cinema but also makes ‘Emergency’ a must-watch event, inviting audiences to explore a significant chapter of Indian history that remains a topic of intense debate.
Directed and headlined by Kangana herself, ‘Emergency’ revolves around the controversial 1975 declaration of Emergency by former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, shedding light on the political power struggles and societal upheavals that marked this turbulent time in India's democracy. The film's release is timely, resonating with global conversations on democracy, authoritarianism, and the delicate balance of power.

‘Emergency’ features a stellar ensemble cast, with Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik, in what will be his final on-screen performance. Produced by Zee Studios, Manikarnika Films, and Renu Pitti, the film is set to be a cinematic masterpiece. The music, composed by Sanchit Balhara and GV Prakash Kumar, further enhances the narrative, while the gripping dialogues, penned by the acclaimed Ritesh Shah, promise to add a sharp edge to this politically charged drama.

Fans in North India can enjoy this extended version of the industry hit at a special price of just Rs 112, making it an unmissable event for movie lovers.
According to Pinkvilla, the booking for both ‘Emergency’ and ‘Azaad’ has been lukewarm so far, with both films likely to rely heavily on spot bookings and initial audience feedback. In addition to this, the new releases will face stiff competition from the re-release of Ram Gopal Varma's ‘Satya’ and the reloaded version of ‘Pushpa 2,’ which will feature 20 extra minutes of mass action to attract more viewers.
