PVR Cinemas, the largest film entertainment company in India and a leader in defining the way entertainment is consumed in the world´s second most populous country, has engaged Studio Gronda to design four flagship movie theaters in New Delhi and Mumbai. Ranging in size from 1000 to 2000 seats, the theaters will combine high-end hospitality design modern, and customized entertainment experience. One of the venues, located in New Delhi´s affluent Chanakyapuri neighborhood, will be a boutique cinema composed of three high end screening rooms featuring custom chandeliers, prime marbles, amber mirrors and natural woods. The stylish and futuristic design will set the stage for a unique experience that combines the movies with other forms of entertainment.
In Mumbai, Studio Gronda is creating one of Asia´s most exclusive movie theatre experiences, at Maker Maxity in the Bandra Kurla Complex. Reminiscent of a small VIP members club, the project will feature three distinctive entertainment offerings combined with high-end food and beverage outlets. This project includes the design of an innovative 200-car drive-in that will bring together nature and technology in a magical 21st-century cinema experience. Studio Gronda is also refurbishing the iconic PVR Phoenix Mills, including its exterior facade, VIP areas and F & B concept. Chanakya as well as Phoenix Mills are planned to open by the end of 2016; Ambience and Maker Maxity will open in 2017.
