Banerjee says each screening can accommodate over 250 people. "The Gurugram venue has a capacity of 145 cars. Since the state protocol recommends having only two people in each car, we will have about 290 people, whereas the audience in Bengaluru will be in the range of 250 to 280. Depending on the response, we may arrange drive-in screenings in multiple cities." Where Khaali Peeli will be available for viewing at Rs 299 on the digital platform, the drive-in tickets have been priced at Rs 999 per vehicle. "We'll also launch an F&B deal soon," he adds.

The on-ground event will be held in adherence with the safety norms issued by the government, and the Event and Entertainment Management Association. The 100-plus cars will be divided into hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs, each parked at a distance of 10 feet from one another. "Each car will be sanitised at the entrance, and a kit containing a sanitiser, mask and gloves, will be handed over to the guests. The exit route will be different from the entry so that there is no crowding of cars. The guests will be allowed entry after a temperature check and the installation of the Aarogya Setu app on their phones," adds Banerjee.
