Theaters will make a great comeback: Astro-strategist Hirav Shah

In the last couple of weeks, the Government of different states has eased down the lockdown restrictions in order to revive an ailing economy. While most businesses are operating with minimal staff and under timings issued by the Government, cinema theatres continue to remain shut.

"It is unfortunate that theatres are allowed to be operational in India yet but I am sure they have their own concerns. There are three important periods which are crucial for the theatre exhibition business. One is October – November when theatres are expected to start opening up, the second phase will be in February when things will improve and the third phase will be after April. After this last phase, things will become fully normal and theatres will have audiences coming in hordes like before. The makers of Sooryavanshi and '83 are already planning to release these films in theatres. Big, event films like these will help tremendously in restarting the theatre business", Hirav says.

Hirav Shah has been associated with a bunch of big Bollywood films that are expected to hit the screens early next year as an Astro-strategist. Several prominent people from the industry have consulted him on numerous occasions on the release date and other factors related to their films. And, his advice has always proved to be beneficial for them. His advice, thus, is all the more important now as the film industry is grappling with a never-seen-before adverse situation. Recently, there were news reports which stated that open-air theatres will be allowed to operate from September 21.
