As the arch-rivals take on each other at an ICC tournament, cricket frenzy has taken over the city and big screens are being installed at different places for the cricket lovers.

Managing director, MP tourism development corporation, S Viswanathan said that preparations have been done in the drive-in cinema. Notably, a brick wall has been built on an RCC structure of 70' × 30' for large screens in the Drive-in Cinema complex, and a projection room has also been constructed.

Katare further said as Karva Chauth is there, so MPT have also made a selfie point in the premises which is named Karva Chauth Selfie Point. “On this selfie point the couple will be able to take selfies with themselves and family,” said Katare.
Apart from car parking, the complex with a capacity of around 80 cars has also made seating arrangements for 50 comfortable cheers for the visitors coming there from two wheelers.
