Single-Screen Cinema Halls

Single-screen cinema halls were popular places for watching movies and were once important landmarks in the city with their huge hoardings. However, the number of single screen cinema halls has reduced due to rise in popularity of multiplexes in New Delhi. The first Cinema hall constructed in CP has lost its charm and is not even well maintained now. It is run down and screens semi-porn for the local working class people. Other cinema halls including Westend cinemas, either been shut down or converted to commercial complexes. An example is “Kumar Cinema Chandni Chowk” which was reopened as Abhishek Cineplex under new management.

Multiplexes

Multiplexes came into existence in New Delhi with the opening of the first modern multiplex by PVR Cinemas in the year 1997. For this, technology was especially imported from Australia. PVR in Saket broke many national awards in exhibition of cinema and thus revolutionized the movie theatre industry in the country. As on now, there are more than 20 multiplexes in the city and more are being constructed, some being stand alone while others are located inside malls.

Most of the multiplexes are under chains to which they belong. Some of the popular multiplex chains are - Satyam Cineplex’s, Wave Cinemas, Fun Cinemas and PVR Cinemas.
