Why India doesn’t have more IMAX screens: PVR INOX’s Sanjeev Kumar Bijli reveals each auditorium costs a WHOPPING Rs. 10-11 cr; says Hindi, Tamil and Telugu content can drive expansion

The IMAX format is really popular, and some movies have done very well in it.For example, *The Odyssey* made over 70 crores just in IMAX in India, which is a big number, especially since there are only 34 IMAX theaters in the country.Mumbai has 9 IMAX screens, and Delhi-NCR has 8.However, cities like Hyderabad still don't have any IMAX theaters, while places like Pune and Chennai each have two.Compared to the US, which has over 250 IMAX screens, India's numbers seem low.This leads to a question: why doesn't India have more IMAX theaters, especially when it's such a hit with audiences?

Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director of PVR INOX, talked about this in an interview with NDTV.

He said that each IMAX auditorium costs around 10 to 11 crores, which is a huge amount.He added that if there's more Hindi, Tamil, or Telugu content made for IMAX, it could encourage more investment in the format.

He also explained that English IMAX films don't always do well.

For example, while *The Odyssey* was a success, *Toy Story 5* didn't perform as well in IMAX.So, there's a 50-50 chance of success.That's why he believes there's a need for more Hindi and regional filmmakers to create IMAX-worthy movies.If there's more content, then it will be easier to justify investing in more IMAX screens.
