Nagpur Police sets up open theatre at shelter home, plays Ajay Devgn’s ‘Tanhaji’ as first film

While everything has come to a halt due to the Coronavirus outbreak, Nagpur Police has set up an open theatre at a shelter home to help people beat their anxiety amidst the crisis. Everyone is sharing their daily routine and how they are tackling the situation. However, people living in shelter homes are feeling depressed which is ultimately leading to a rise in their anxiety levels.

The police department, on Monday, took to Twitter to announce this initiative. The official Twitter handle of Nagpur City Police posted a video of the open theatre set up at a shelter home.

In the video, one can see a scene from Ajay Devgn and Kajol’s Tanhaji being played on the screen. Several people wearing face masks watched the movie in the outdoor area.

“Watching a film redirects the attention and it’s an excellent way to decrease anxiety. Nagpur Police has set up an open theatre at the shelter homes,” they wrote while sharing the clip.
