PVR Inox Launches India's First Luxury Dine-In Cinema Experience at Bengaluru's M5 ECity Mall

The luxury dine-in cinema boasts a comfortable auditorium with capacity for 70 guests.

PVR Inox has launched an innovative concept in India's entertainment sector - the nation's first luxury dine-in cinema experience. This revolutionary concept integrates premium cinema viewing with exceptional dining, creating an all-encompassing evening of entertainment, culinary delights, and luxurious comfort.

Located within the impressive eight-screen multiplex at Bengaluru's M5 ECity Mall, this pioneering venture allows patrons to enjoy a comprehensive range of gourmet dishes and beverages without leaving the comfort of their cinema seats.

According to an official statement from PVR INOX, "We've created the country's only dine-in auditorium restaurant, completely conceptualized and executed by our in-house team. Guests can indulge in a meticulously curated gourmet menu prepared in live kitchens with tableside service. This groundbreaking format merges gastronomy with cinematic storytelling, transforming traditional movie-watching into a complete sensory experience and providing a compelling alternative to home streaming services."

The culinary offerings feature nine specially curated food and beverage brands: Crosta, Cine Café, Dine-In, Steamestry, Wokstar, In-Between, Frytopia, Dogfather, and Local Street. This diverse collection presents everything from artisanal pizzas and gourmet burgers to steamed delicacies, stir-fried specialties, and authentic regional Indian street food. The chef-curated meals can be enjoyed directly at your seat, and remarkably, you don't even need a movie ticket to experience the restaurant itself.

Beyond the dining experience, the multiplex features elegantly designed lounge-style foyers with comfortable café seating, allowing visitors to relax before their showtime begins. Each auditorium is equipped with cutting-edge cinema technology, including Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby 7.1 surround sound systems, and 4K Laser projection throughout.

The complex also incorporates gaming zones and interactive VR/AR stations, specifically designed to appeal to younger audiences as part of PVR INOX's "Youthification" initiative. Their official release elaborates: "Youthification represents PVR INOX's forward-thinking approach for digital-native young audiences seeking comprehensive entertainment beyond traditional film viewing. This concept integrates gaming zones, kid-friendly formats, stylish lounge-like foyers, and exceptional culinary experiences."

The pricing structure for this premium dine-in experience follows a dynamic model that varies according to the content or event being presented. Two-seater tables are priced at Rs 490, while four-seater arrangements cost Rs 990. PVR notes that "prices may increase for premium artists or special events, and decrease for corporate or educational bookings, reflecting our extremely flexible pricing approach."
