BIG Cinemas is India’s largest cinema chain with over 550 screens spread across India, US, Malaysia, Nepal and Netherlands and caters to over 35 million consumers worldwide.

Determined to revolutionize the way Indians watch cinema in the years to come, the company set up its first Greenfield multiplex in Mumbai and from there started the journey to create a 260 screens network across India, spread over 103 theatres and 80 cities. Today, BIG Cinemas accounts for 10 to 15% of Indian box office contributions of big ticket films.

In 2008, BIG Cinemas became India’s first cinema chain to have a global presence across USA and Malaysia. Today, we have successfully created a pan US footprint with over 205 screens present across 24 cities and the circuit accounts for 20-35% of Hindi features box office collections and over 70% of Tamil and Telegu box office collections from the US.

In Malaysia, we now have a strong presence of 72 screens that play Hollywood features besides Chinese and Tamil films that cater to the 1.5 million Tamil populations.

In 2009, BIG Cinemas established a presence in Netherlands by associating with Pathe Theatres across 3 cities to begin screening Indian movies. We have also set up Nepal’s first Multiplex in Kathmandu.

We have a vision to provide global audiences access to BIG Cinemas' world-class cinemas. And we do this by setting up standalone properties and cinemas in malls and also by taking over current properties, renovating and operating them thereby taking advantage of their considerable existing infrastructure and brand value.

The industry and our audience at large have given us the thumbs up, proof of which are the numerous awards that we have won. Awards that include the ‘Entertainment Retailer of the Year’ honor at the India Retail Forum 2009 and the ‘International Exhibitor of the Year 2008’ by CineAsia 2008 at Macau. BIG Cinemas’ innovative concept of Cinediner which combines fine dining and movie watching has won the award for Most Admired Innovative Concept of the Year at Images Retail Forum 2010.
