The Big Screen beckons again

Much to the excitement of cinephiles, theatres across Telangana are reopening this week after nearly eight months of inactivity

As the pandemic fear continues to grip the world, life is inching back to normalcy under scrutiny and with strict guidelines in place. The Covid shock waves were felt across the entertainment industry as well resulting in a total shutdown of its activities.

But much to the respite of the movie lovers out there, theatres in Hyderabad resume this ‘Box office’ week with the screening of Christopher Nolan’s ‘Tenet’. Nolan, by far, is regarded as one of the greatest directors in modern-day cinema.
