With the ongoing fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, there hasn’t
been much scope for entertainment. Theatres and cinema halls have been
shut, going out has been limited, people have had to mostly stay in
their homes and watch movies on their laptops. But now, Vizag is slowly
seeing the light of the day, with theatres opening and the city gaining a
more normal colour. People can finally go to one of the many theatres
that are open in Vizag and enjoy a movie with their friends and family. Earlier,
the Andhra Pradesh State Government had taken stock of the Covid-19
situation and decided to allow theatres in the state to run shows with
50 percent occupancy and strict Covid-19 protocol. This included
maintaining social distancing by keeping a seat empty between people,
wearing masks at all times in the cinema halls. Though, the theatre
managements were earlier hesitant
about running shows in their theatres with these rules but now, with
some big-budget Telugu movies opting for theatrical release in the
coming months, these theatres have found the confidence to run shows and
entertain the public. Here are some of the theatres in Vizag which are open and currently running shows: #1 Inox CMR CentralOne of the biggest cinema theatres in the city.
