entertainment have begun to rise. Thus people are increasingly looking for

multi-cinema and cine-complex and is defined as a theatre that provides
audience with diverse movies and a variety of facilities. Multiplexes are
the upcoming revolution in the theatre industry.

Scope
Multiplexes in India have tremendous scope for growth as vast
areas of the country are still not covered, film industry experts said at a
Business world event. The Current industry Scenario is that India's Craze
for films is currently rising and at the same phase there is lack of screen
density in the country coupled with the poor quality of screens. Multiplex
Cinemas offer an alternative to the viewer by providing good quality and a
better experience to the viewers.

Investment opportunities
Our vision is to build, own & operate Multiple Miniplexes in tier II &
tier III cities of the country with minimum sitting capacity of 150 to 200
seats and minimum of 2 screens. The Indian film industry is the largest film
industry in the world in terms of the number of films produced and
admissions each year. Nearly 80% of Indian Industry revenues come from
Domestic and Overseas Theatrical. India needs 1,20,000 screens to cater
the entire cinema viewing population. Urban consumers have increased
their expenditure on leisure & entertainment. Simultaneously, the spending
on eating out, movies, theatre, books and music is increasing.

Benefits of Tier-2 & Tier-3 Cities

Essentials are available and are affordable in creation of Special
Economic Zones, promotion of small towns into cities in Future.
Required facilities are provided by the respective state governments
in terms of infrastructure, capital support in setting up of industries
ranging from real estate to pharmaceuticals, financial institutions to
automobiles, IT and IT enabled services.
Due to lack of space available in the metropolitan cities, companies
like IT, ITES, BPO's, Automobiles industry and other industries in

 service sector are eyeing on the smaller cities that had the art
facilities, office spaces, better infrastructure and skilled man power.

Growth Drivers for Multiplexes in Tier-2 & Tier-3 Cities

Demographic Changes in terms of population, age, income levels

are favourable to attract more room space for multiplexes.
Expansion of the Indian middle class people with an increase in
income, multiple earning capabilities of the families also indicating
the scope for developing multiplex chains.
Changing Life style of the People due to urbanization.
Spending money on recreation purpose also indicating a booming
scope for multiplexes.
Conclusion
Over the years, multiplex chains such as PVR Cinemas, INOX
Leisure Limited have grown at a fast pace. The initial growth that came
from metros and from large cities. Focus of these chains has been diverted
to tier-2 and tier-3 cities because of the development initiatives in such
cities.
