    Hi i am from Haldwani, a fast growing city in Uttarakhand (Distt Nainital). hence there are no such good multiplex in city so i was interested in opening that. my plans was to open multiplex with minimum of 3 screens with 3D facility. so could you help me out in suggesting that should i go for any franchise or shall i open my independent multiplex. PLS HELP ME OUT WITH THE MINIMUM LAND REQUIRED AND ABOUT THE BUDGET..... I feel that response from the people will be great.
  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on May 14, 2012
    @MANISH PANDEY, Indeed there is a great business prospect in Haldwani. you can also get subsidy from Govt in UK. Land requirement=4000 Sq Mt you have to build the basic structure of about 10 to 12 thousand Sq ft. fit out can be done by either a franchisee or you can invest in fit out also the cost is approx 70 lac per screen. For 3D projection you have to invest about 40 Lac more. Mudit agarwal

    @junaid Jammu is a tax free zone, there is a potential for 2 screen cinema. if you have land at a decent place then it is a viable project. Otherwise if you are planning to buy land and then build it then you have to go in for a small Mall and multiplex. call 9335151807 for any other details. Mudit

  • rohit said on June 8, 2012
    Hello, I have a cinema hall in guawahati, assam which is around 30 yrs old. but because of upcoming multiplexes in the city, I find a drastic cut down in the number of audiences and hence the sale. Pls advice me a way in which i can regain the number of audience as investing a huge amount is difficult since the price of ticket is very difficult to be raise in such place. Thanks Rohit

    @ROHIT WHAT IS THE ENTERTAINMENT TAX STRUCTURE IN Guawahati, Assam. what is the location of your cinema..? I suggest that you can convert your cinema into a 3 screen multiplex.. we have been doing such projects. investment ranges from 2.5 to 3 Cr(start to finish).. Mudit

  • Siddharth Ruparel beginner adviser said on June 11, 2012
    Hi @Rohit, I think Mudit is right, since if you want to attract more audience you will have to give them a choice to select movie from at least 3.. In this case you can reduce the number of seats for each screen, also you should consider including eateries, convenient shops, etc to make it a place for family entertainment and leisure.

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on June 16, 2012
    @SUNIL Cinema halls can be build in Very small Budget starting from Rs 10000/- per seat. However if we build a economy model cinema then we will be missing out on some basic amenities such as Air conditioning, proper acoustics etc. For a Suburban area, where ticket prices cant be over 30/- 40/- Rs economic model of cinema can be worked out. For urban areas we should develop modern cinema having all the luxuries. for which the budget shall be any where between 30000/- to 40000/- per seat. Mudit

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on June 23, 2012
    @MOHIT AGARWAL First you have to select your location, if it is in a local area where there is no cinema then you can get a video cinema license(benefit is: Entertainment tax is very low) If you build a cinema (single screen) in a city or area where there is already a cinema then you should have at least 1000 sq yd of land on which cinema has to be built. As far as cost is concerned , I have already discussed it many times earlier . Mudit

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on June 23, 2012

    @ramesh, The cost of multiplex fit out is Rs 25000/- per seat. so for 400 seat cinema You require 100 lacs for fit out and for construction of building you require additional 600 Rs per sq ft so for 10000 sq ft multiplex area another 60 lac Rs. You have to esquire if there any subsidy scheme in karnataka for relevant authorities.

The size of single screen cinema can depend ..it could range from 5000 sqft to 10000 sq ft depending upon the number of seats you want to adjust. the cost of internal fit-out(seat, machinery, decoration electrical etc) is Rs 20000/- per seat.

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on July 12, 2012

    @jitin garg, @mihir.m, Himachal pradesh is a tax free zone, so multiplex are very successful there. if you have land & building then you can construct a 3 screen multiplex by involving a Cinema operator . Operator will invest in fitout and shall pay you revenue share.. If you want to manage cinema on your own then the cost of fitout shall be Rs 28000/- per seat. For food court the kitchen equipment , the average cost is about 15 to 20 lac plus accessories.

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on July 28, 2012
    There are certain query regarding Small cinema which i want to clarify.

    Q.Land requirement for Small cinema 50 to 100 seater single screen.
    A.every cinema has to be constructed as per building bye laws prevalent in that particular state. Normally we have to leave 20Ft set back on all sides for Fire tender. So for small cinema also minimum 1000 sq mt land is required.

    Q Is there any other option
    A. you can take space in a large project i.e. it can be a part of any mall where you take space for small 50/60 seat cinema.

    Q. Working area for single screen cinema
    A. You require about 2200 sq ft for Audi for 100 to 150 seats. the height of the audi has to be minimum 15 ft. apart from audi you require space for Booking office, toilets and cafe and waiting area.

    Q. Cost of Building?
    A. Building cost is aprox 500 to 600 Rs per Sq ft

    Q. Cost of Cinema equipment
    A. the cost of cinema equipment depends upon the facility you want to give to your Audience. For a good Air-conditioned cinema having push back seats and good interiors the cost is aprox 28000 per seat. For No frills cinema the cost can go down to 20000 per seat.

    Q 3D equipment
    A. 3D technology is very expensive, you require silver screen, polarized lens and 3D glasses for normal 3D projection. However now 2K digital projectors are used for 3D reproduction. the cost of 2K digital projector is aprox 2500000 plus 3D kit is another 800000. 3D is suggested only at those places where the spending power is high and ticket of over 150/- are affordable.

    Q. single screen or multiplex
    A. Around 300 Hindi films are released every year plus regional language films are also released. if you have only 1 single screen cinema than you have to miss out to the major chunk of releases. further more there is no surety that you get the HIT film . so it is now strongly recommended that you should have at least 2 screens.

    @MOBI FOR HIGH END CINEMA , YOU NEED SPACE FOR EACH FACILITY, SO APROX 8000 SQ FT OF SPACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR 100 SEAT CINEMA. IN A HIGH END CINEMA THERE ARE RECLINER SEATS, FOOD TABLES, SUPER HIGH QUALITY OF ACOUSTICS ARE DONE PLUS THE STAFF HAS TO BE COURTEOUS.. ITS THE SAME DIFF AS OF A 2/3 STAR HOTEL AS COMPARED TO 5 STAR HOTEL. THE COST OF INTERIORS IS ABOUT 900$ PER SEAT FOR HIGH END CINEMA.

    @ARUP ROY. Dear Arup, What is the population of Agartala..? and literacy rate..? If there is no cinemas then it would be best to open a minimum 2 screen multiplex with seating capacity of 200 each. About the cost..i have discussed it many time in this blog.Films will be arranged from distributors located in Kolkata. Mudit

  • MUDIT AGARWAL competent adviser said on September 22, 2012

    @rajni, You need 25000 sq ft of covered space for cinema. you can find the same in either a under-construction mall or you should have  enough land to construct the same. the cost of building is aprox 600/- INR and Rs 30000/- INR per seat for interiors Sound and projection etc.
