    INDIA Bollywood Talkies ©Vanessa Vettorello Rahul Bose, actor, at the premiere of “Margarita with a straw” at the Inox multiplex in Nariman Point (Mumbay) The historic single screen cinemas are recently experiencing a deep identity and economic crisis, leading them to a fast disappearance. Simultaneously, multiple modern screen centers are at the peak of their development and success. As well as the entire Indian film industry. The videos parlour instead - big rooms without any comfort and equipped only with a projector - were born in provincial areas where the old cinemas were closing down, trying to keep alive the traditional movie theaters market in a cheaper way. But today, due to growing piracy, the spread of new technologies (smartphones, tablets, laptops) - and last but not least because of their intrinsic illegality (very few video rooms are fully licensed) – they are experiencing themselves also a major crisis. Thus in a few years the world of cinemas in the country could change radically. Even in India then, in rural areas as in large cities, small theaters are being replaced constantly by more advanced but anonymous video centers. Today these three types of theaters - video parlour, single screen halls and modern multiplex - are still attended by different kind of people in a very exclusive way: each one in fact has its own typical goer that identifies it under a social and economic category. Today they represent a perfect picture of India social complexity to be studied and considered under a light-blue Bollywood twilight. Waiters of the Inox multiplex located inside the Amanora Town Centre mall (Hadapsar - Pune) Matinee show at the New Roshan (Grant Road - Mumbai) Maratha Mandir cinema entrance.

  • What Is Meant by Multiplex ? a Multiplex Is a Movie Theater
    What is meant by multiplex ? A multiplex is a movie theater complex with multiple screens, typically more than one screen within a single complex. They are usually housed in a specially designed building. Sometimes, an existing venue undergoes a renovation where the existing auditoriums are split into smaller ones, or more auditoriums are added in an extension or expansion of the building. The largest of these complexes can sit thousands of people and are sometimes referred to as a megaplex 2. State the major costs that occur in multiplex business. But increasingly, theatre owners are realising that the culprit may lie closer home: High ticket prices. At a time when DVDs and home theatres are very affordable, how many families still consider the Rs 1,000-odd they spend for a weekend outing at any upmarket multiplex to be of good value? Very few, it seems. Given the kind of investments they have pumped in, multiplex chains haven't been able to set cash registers ringing. "If the phenomenon has to explode and multiplex owners sustain volumes across weekdays and weekends, then low-cost, no-frills options are the only way out,"says a Delhi-based multiplex operator. It's a view echoed by former CEO of Inox Leisure, Shishir Baijal. "It's only when you encompass the masses that the real multiplex revolution will happen. Large consumption centres, where ticket prices hover around Rs 40-50, hold tremendous potential,"he says. But to cash in on that potential, multiplexes would need to bring down construction costs. Today, it can take up to Rs 40-50 crores to set up a premium five-screen multiplex in a metro, while the same in a smaller town costs between Rs 10-15 crore, estimates GW Capital, a private equity firm.
