It becomes very important for this industry to grow rapidly as it is estimated to lose Rs 4800 crore since March last year, and it becomes important because the cinema screens in the state of Maharashtra, employs a large section of the population. Lakhs of people are employed in the Cinema, Multiplexes, Studious and shutting it down since a very long time has deteriorated the condition even more. This will be a major decision that the Maharashtra Government will have to make as all the industries like malls, airlines, restaurants, gyms, local trains, main travel have already been approved through Cinema Halls have been remained shut so far.
