The multiplex chain plans to invest Rs 70 crore in the next 30 screens in cities such as Chennai, Ranchi, and Surat, among others. Furthermore, Rs 120 crore has been set aside as part of its aggressive investment for another 50 screens, with fit-out beginning in January to March 2023 and properties opening from July to October 2023 in cities such as Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad.
Miraj Entertainment Ltd. MD Amit Sharma said, "It is indeed a momentous day for us as we open our flagship multiplex in Bengaluru today. Bengaluru is one of the country’s most vibrant and progressive cities, and we look forward to being a part of its growth story. With the launch of Beanary Café, which will be open to all regardless if you are there to watch a film or not, and our signature live kitchen, Cafe’s Corner, we are confident that the multiplex will be well-received by the people here. It will surely add to this booming city’s already vibrant culture and nightlife scene. Furthermore, setting up the multiplex in Sunkadakatte will attract more footfalls to this area and contribute positively to the city’s growing reputation as a key destination for films and filmmaking. It is a truly world-class facility that will provide an outstanding movie-going experience for our customers."
The newly opened multiplex promises an immersive movie-watching experience and has 1,283 seats in total, including 1,203 ultra-comfortable seats and 80 recliner seats, as well as a palatial lobby. The ideal location for cinephiles to catch the latest international and Indian blockbusters!
Miraj Cinemas has installed top-tier Christie RGB Laser CP2320 2K projection systems and 7.1 Digital Dolby sound systems in four screens, as well as Dolby Atmos sound in two screens, to improve its patrons' cinema viewing experience. Furthermore, the café is outfitted with cutting-edge processing equipment and adheres to strict hygiene and sanitation standards around the clock. Along with the live kitchen, the multiplex chain will open its first independent Beanary Café, which will offer a variety of food and beverage options.
Miraj Cinemas has finally opened its first six-screen multiplex in Bengaluru, after a decade-long journey under Sharma's leadership. The state of Karnataka has been extremely welcoming and supportive of the multiplex chain, and it looks forward to serving the state's movie-going population for many years to come. Miraj has kept up with technological advances that benefit moviegoers in tiers two and three cities as well as their counterparts in major metro areas, in addition to its national expansion plans.
