A Delhi court today ordered the de-sealing of Uphaar cinema hall, where 59 cinemagoers were killed in a massive blaze in 1997, saying "absolutely no purpose would be served to keep the property sealed".

The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Ansal Theaters and Clubotels Private Ltd, whose former directors were real estate barons Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal, to move the trial court for de-sealing of Uphaar cinema hall.

A fire broke out today at Delhi's Uphaar Cinema Hall where a deadly blaze had killed 59 people in 1997.

Till theatres and cinema halls can run at full capacity and distributors can push more theatrical releases in the country, BookMyShow Stream video-on-demand streaming service looks to offer some respite. New titles like Tenet, Wonder Woman 1984, Yes God Yes, The Craft: Legacy can now be bought or rented at different prices.

After 22 years of one of the deadliest fires in the capital, the authorities have still not learnt their lesson and have shown to be committing same mistakes which had then led to choking death of 59 people at the Uphaar cinema hall in the posh south Delhi area, say survivors of that tragedy.

In an attempt to set on fire a cinema hall showing the controversial film "Padmaavat", two unidentified persons threw a petrol bomb inside it, police said on Sunday.

Thousands of women brandishing swords on Sunday took out a 'Chetavani Rally' or a warning march in Rajasthan's Chittorgarh town to warn the authorities to stop the release of 'Padmaavat' or else be prepared for 'jauhar' by them.

Twenty years after the Uphaar fire tragedy, which killed 59 people at the cinema hall in posh South Delhi, real estate baron Gopal Ansal, 67, surrendered in court to undergo jail term in the case

The Supreme Court will decide today whether to reconsider its November 2015 judgment, imposing a hefty fine payable within three months or a two-year jail term to Ansal brothers in the 1997 Uphaar tragedy, in which 59 people died during a fire at the cinema hall in posh South Delhi.

Real estate barons Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal today moved Supreme Court seeking the de-sealing of the Uphaar cinema hall where 59 people had lost their lives in 1997 in a fire during the screening of a movie.

The Ansal brothers, real estate barons, must go to jail, the CBI says, but was denied the permission to argue its point in the Supreme Court, which yesterday said the builders will pay a 60-crore fine for criminal negligence but will not be arrested.

It was in March last year that the conviction of businessmen Sushil and Gopal Ansal was upheld by the Supreme Court for criminal negligence leading to the Uphaar cinema fire tragedy which killed 59 people and injured hundred others in 1997.
