PVR INOX BRINGS SMART CINEMAS TO INDIA’S GROWTH
MARKETS, BEGINNING WITH BIHAR’S MUZAFFARPUR, WITH
‘MIRZAPUR’ MARKING THE OPENING
~Bringing world-class cinema, immersive technology and the signature PVR INOX
experience to audiences beyond the metros ~
National, September 4, 2026: A new chapter in PVR INOX’s expansion across India’s growth markets
begins in Muzaffarpur with the opening of its first SMART Cinemas property in Bihar. The cinema opens
with the highly anticipated Mirzapur, bringing the signature PVR INOX experience to one of North Bihar’s
prominent commercial and educational centres, known for its entrepreneurial spirit, rich cultural heritage
and evolving retail landscape.
The four-screen property adds to PVR INOX’s existing network in Bihar, taking its total screen presence
in the state to 11 screens. With a seating capacity of 644, the cinema features Christie’s 4K RGB laser
projection system, high-fidelity 7.1 surround sound and last-row recliner seating.
The opening marks the first step in PVR INOX’s strategy to expand its presence across India’s emerging
growth markets. Designed specifically for Tier III cities, SMART Cinemas combines the PVR INOX
experience with a capital-efficient, asset-light model.
As aspirations rise and consumption patterns evolve, cities beyond the metros are becoming an
increasingly important part of India’s cinema journey. Muzaffarpur reflects this shift, with a growing
audience seeking contemporary entertainment experiences closer to home. With SMART Cinemas, PVR
INOX is extending its reach to this new generation of moviegoers while strengthening its presence in the
city’s evolving entertainment landscape.
Mr. Ajay Bijli, Managing Director, PVR INOX Limited, said, “For nearly three decades, PVR INOX has
defined and shaped India's changing cinema landscape. With SMART Cinemas, we are taking the next
step by bringing our experience to a new generation of audiences in India's growth markets. Muzaffarpur
is an important beginning for us, a city with a strong commercial and cultural identity and rising
aspirations. Our vision is to make world-class cinema more accessible across the country, while creating
local opportunities and contributing to the growth of the ecosystems we enter.”
Mr. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director, PVR INOX Limited, said, “The opportunity in India's
growth markets is significant, and SMART Cinemas gives us a new way to participate in this growth. The
asset light model allows us to work closely with local developers and entrepreneurs, combining their
understanding of the market with PVR INOX’s operating expertise. This gives us the ability to build a
wider network in a capital-efficient manner, while maintaining the standards and guest experience that
are central to our brand.”
The Muzaffarpur property has been developed in partnership with ICON Plaza Mall, creating a new
entertainment anchor for the destination and strengthening the organised retail ecosystem in the city.
Mr. Amar Nath Pandey and Mr. Raghav Pandey, Directors, ICON Plaza Mall, said, “This is a
partnership we strongly believe in. We have invested in building this cinema because we are confident
that PVR INOX's brand, operating discipline and reach will not only bring audiences to these screens but
also contribute to footfall across ICON Plaza Mall. Muzaffarpur has never had an experience like this,
and we are proud to be the first to bring it to the city. We are actively working with PVR Inox to identify
and evaluate more opportunities to expand such cinemas in other cities in the state.”
PVR INOX Muzaffarpur is now open to the public, with show timings and ticket bookings available through
the PVR INOX website and mobile application, as well as traditional online aggregator platforms.
