Miraj Cinemas

Miraj Cinemas developed as the cinema exhibition arm of Miraj Entertainment Limited, which belongs to the wider Miraj Group. The group was founded in 1987 by Madan Paliwal and built a diversified business portfolio spanning entertainment and several non-entertainment sectors, including tobacco, printing and packaging, foods, pipes and fittings, real estate, retail chains and shopping malls. In 2012, the group entered cinema exhibition through Miraj Entertainment. The move expanded Miraj's activities from film production and release into the operation of venues where films are shown to the public. Before entering exhibition, Miraj Group had been associated with movie production and release activities, including the films Sona Spa and Madaari. The exhibition launch gave the group a physical distribution platform and a recurring venue-based business within India's growing multiplex market. The initial rollout was concentrated across Punjab, Gujarat and the Delhi NCR, where four multiplexes were opened within one month. This pace indicated an expansion-led approach from the beginning, using several regional markets rather than testing the concept through only one location. The brand subsequently broadened its footprint across India. The available reference records Miraj Cinemas as operating 50 locations and 144 screens across 14 states and 36 cities. These figures describe the chain's reported network, although the supplied material does not provide a date for the count or a location-by-location breakdown. The source also does not detail later acquisitions, disposals, rebrandings, venue closures, technology upgrades, or changes in ownership. Miraj Cinemas remains associated with Miraj Entertainment and the Miraj Group. Its principal business is cinema exhibition: operating multiplex venues, scheduling and screening films, and serving audiences through the cinema-going experience. Information supplied for this dossier does not establish a separately incorporated public company, an international operating footprint, or a distinct current executive team beyond the group's founder.
