BookMyShow

In a world that often feels divided, small acts of kindness and #joy have the power to make a difference and create a profound impact. This #ValentinesDay, #BookMyShow embraces the universal language of love and encouraging #moviegoers to celebrate not just romance, but the joy of human connection in all its forms - be it with friends, family, significant others, or even a stranger who happens to be sharing the same cinematic experience with their campaign #SpreadTheJoy Movie lovers at select cinemas may find something unexpected waiting for them - beautifully designed cards, each carrying a simple uplifting message. Cinephiles are invited to pick up a card and pass it along, turning an ordinary moment into an opportunity to make someone smile. The heart-warming film captures unscripted moments of kindness in action, following unsuspecting moviegoers as they stumble upon these messages and, in turn, pass them forward. At a time when conversations around #love are often boxed into traditional definitions, this initiative is a reminder that love, at its core, is simply about making someone feel seen, valued and cherished and that’s the core of Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine's Day! https://lnkd.in/dhnbrFQA #LifeAtBookMyShow #WorkAtBookMyShow #ValentinesDay #Marketing #CampaignForLove #Campaign

Reflecting on our remarkable 25-year journey, BookMyShow Founder & CEO, Ashish Hemrajani spoke to CNBC-TV18’s Shereen Bhan on #pioneering a nascent entertainment market to enabling headline-making moments like this weekend’s much-anticipated #Coldplay concert and much more. In a recent #interview on Young Turks Reloaded, Ashish shares what the kind of "heavy lifting" that the firm has had to do to open up this #experience economy long before it became a buzzword with meticulous attention, research and #investment. Drawing #inspiration from his passion for #sailing, Ashish likens the #journey with its ups and downs to the art of adjusting sails amidst changing tides. "You can’t control the wind, the tide, or the conditions. All you can do is adjust your sails," he notes. Through calm waters, high winds and even the storm of the pandemic, #BookMyShow has anchored itself firmly as a driving force of the #ExperienceEconomy and the #GoingOut landscape. As 2025 promises even bigger #movies and unforgettable live #entertainment experiences, we look forward to continuing this incredible voyage with our community. Here's to many more years of creating infinite entertainment!

It’s the last week of the year! If you’re here on #LinkedIn instead of diving headfirst into the #holiday festivities, that has to mean something. Maybe you’re wrapping up loose ends or just daydreaming about your New Year’s Eve #plans while responding to #emails. Sound familiar? This time of year is a #universal dance between #professional #commitments and the undeniable urge to soak in the festive spirit. We've found the #answer to that bittersweet #struggle. This year we say - ‘You Make the Excuse, We’ll Make the Plan.’    The #campaign highlights the ultimate holiday dilemma we all face - crafting convincing (and often hilariously elaborate) excuses to sneak out for a well-deserved break. The campaign, a humorous look at the holiday, has a perfect #description: Two videos, one relatable story.    Which of the excuses in the campaign do you most relate to? So, as 2025 knocks on the door and your #inbox still pings, let’s #pause to enjoy the humour, the hustle and the joy of the season. Whether it’s a movie, concert or a New Year’s Eve bash, make your plans count.  Let's keep your Holiday to-do list simple:  1. Laugh at the absurdity of office life this week  2. Feel the holiday spirit  3. Make those festive plans a reality with #BookMyShow #LifeAtBookMyShow #WorkAtBookMyShow #ItAllStartsHere #NewYearsEve #Plans

As the curtain falls on 2024, let’s pause, rewind and relive a year India danced to the beat of #entertainment. In 2024, India didn’t just consume entertainment—it lived it. Across #screens, #stages and cities, this was the year audiences embraced stories not as mere spectators, but as participants in a grand cultural moment. The return of iconic #films to the silver screen wasn’t just nostalgia; it was a celebration of storytelling that has stood the test of time. Theatres transformed into portals, taking us back to moments that defined generations, as #KalHoNaaHo, #Rockstar and more played once more to packed houses. #Livemusic emerged as a shared language that transcended borders. #Coldplay’s unprecedented demand showcased the sheer fandom in India, while the #Jonas Brothers’ debut in India turned chants of “Jiju, Jiju” into a chorus of cultural fusion. Weekdays lost their monotony as #Maroon5 showed us that a Tuesday night could feel like a Saturday. Tier 2 cities became vibrant hubs for live events, breaking away from the shadows of metros to stake their claim in the entertainment landscape. The beauty of 2024 was in its diversity. It wasn’t just about big names or grand stages. It was about the stories that resonated, the journeys fans made and the moments they chose to claim as their own. From immersive art experiences to comedy shows and streaming gems, the year reminded us that entertainment, at its core, is a mirror of who we are and what we seek. #BookMyShowThrowback celebrates a year that was as transformative as it was unforgettable. It was connection. It was you.    Take a look at #BookMyShowThrowback here: https://lnkd.in/dBbXrAtV As we turn the page to a new chapter, one thing is clear: the story of entertainment is only just beginning. Here’s to 2025, the year that will be. Because, at BookMyShow, #ItAllStartsHere. #LifeAtBookMyShow #WorkAtBookMyShow #YearEnd #BookMyShowLive #BookMyShowStream

✨ When a Tuesday night felt like a dream ✨ 🎵 Maroon 5 lit up Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse, proving that the magic of music knows no bounds - not even the workweek! On an ordinary Tuesday, thousands of fans filled the venue, turning the mundane into a #moment of a lifetime. The night began with the roar of 'Animals', as fans cheered, screamed and sang along, united in sheer joy. The band grooved into 'One More Night' and 'This Love', leaving the crowd in a frenzy. But it was 'Sunday Morning' that brought a wave of nostalgia - a pause to reflect, breathe and just feel. ❤️ When 'Memories' played, the air grew heavy with #emotion - smiles, tears and a bittersweet feeling for loved ones near and far. And then, the most #unforgettable moment: Adam Levine inviting a fan on stage for 'She Will Be Loved'. Her tears of joy mirrored the hearts of thousands watching. The encore, filled with 'Girls Like You' and a dazzling finale of 'Sugar', capped off a show that left fireworks in the sky and in every heart. And as Adam promised they'd return, the crowd already started dreaming of the next time. 🌟 For the first time ever, an international artist of this scale performed on a weekday and the turnout was nothing short of historic. It wasn’t just a #milestone for us but for India’s thriving live music scene. Because no matter the day, music has the #power to turn moments into #memories. #ItAllStartsHere #LifeAtBookMyShow #WorkAtBookMyShow #Entertainment #LiveMusic
