National, 18 August 2025: Independence Day weekend is set to become one of the year’s most electrifying box office moments. PVR INOX, India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibition company, has unveiled 18 cutting-edge screens across two landmark destinations — a 10-screen Megaplex at Sky City Mall, Borivali East, Mumbai, and a vibrant, design-forward 8-screen multiplex at Mahindra Millennium Mall, Bengaluru. Arriving alongside two of India’s most anticipated releases — Coolie and War 2 — the launches promise audiences a front-row seat to the year’s biggest spectacles, presented in the most immersive formats and most dynamic spaces yet.
The Sky City Mall Megaplex in Borivali redefines Mumbai’s western suburbs as a hub for next-generation movie-going. Spread across multiple levels, the property offers premium formats including Insignia, IMAX with Laser, and 4DX, alongside chic lounge spaces and colourful, photo-worthy foyers designed for a new generation of social and entertainment seekers. Situated within one of the city’s newest lifestyle destinations, it is set to become both a cultural hotspot and a cinematic landmark.
In Bengaluru, the Mahindra Millennium Mall multiplex sets new benchmarks for innovation and youth appeal. Highlights include India’s first dine-in auditorium restaurant, the playful and upgraded Kiddles 2.0 kids’ cinema, luxurious Club Sapphire recliner auditoriums, and dedicated VR/AR gaming zones for adrenaline-seekers. Smart AI-enabled audience flow systems make the visit seamless from entry to exit, while the eclectic design blends high-energy experiences with modern luxury — creating a destination that feels like a festival every weekend.
Mr. Ajay Bijli, Managing Director, PVR INOX Limited, said, “This Independence Day, we’re celebrating not just the freedom to tell great stories, but the freedom to experience them in spaces that inspire, energise, and connect. With these two landmark launches, we’ve created next-gen cinemas that embody the youth, vibrancy, and diversity of India itself.”
Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director, PVR INOX Limited, added, “The simultaneous launch of 18 screens across two flagship properties is our boldest step yet in reimagining movie-going for today’s audiences. From gourmet dine-in and premium large formats to gaming, art, and community spaces, we are shaping cinemas as multi-sensory destinations — spaces you want to return to for more than just the movie.”
With this double launch, PVR INOX strengthens its position as India’s leading cinema exhibitor, turning the Independence Day weekend into a nationwide festival of cinema. Every visit becomes an event, every frame an experience, and every weekend a reason to come back — with Mumbai and Bengaluru now home to two of the most exciting, innovation-led destinations in the country.
