A viral video circulating on social media claims to show fans of the movie Pushpa 2 bursting firecrackers inside a cinema during its screening.  This article aims to fact-check the validity of this claim.

Fact: A reverse  image search of keyframes by Factly led them to an NDTV report dated November 13, 2023, which revealed that the incident actually took place during a screening of Salman Khan's Tiger 3 at Mohan Cinema in Malegaon, Maharashtra, on November 12, 2023. 

The fireworks set off near the seating area caused a stampede-like situation, prompting police investigation. Additionally, the Times of India reported that the Malegaon police registered a case against unknown individuals under the Maharashtra Police Act. In conclusion, the viral video, which was mistakenly linked to Pushpa 2, actually pertains to a firecracker incident during a Tiger 3 screening.
