    Surat gets the big picture as Rajhans rolls out city’s first Imax screen

    MUMBAI: Surat’s moviegoers no longer need to pack a bag for a big-screen pilgrimage to Mumbai or Ahmedabad, the Imax revolution has finally arrived at home. Rajhans Cinemas has unveiled Gujarat’s latest cinematic crown jewel: an Imax auditorium inside Rajhans Cinemas Precia, one of India’s largest multiplexes.

    The numbers are as grand as the screen itself. Precia houses 14 screens, more than 3,000 seats, and now a 400-seat Imax hall boasting a massive curved display, ultra-crisp laser projection, and immersive Imax 3D. The upgrade is designed to pull audiences into the action with eye-popping visuals and seat-rumbling sound, a far cry from the flat fare of regular screens.

    Imax has long been the preserve of India’s metros, with installations in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Ahmedabad. For Surat cinephiles, it often meant long trips just to catch a blockbuster in its biggest form. That’s changing fast since launch, Rajhans’ Imax shows have been sold out, fuelled by repeat visits and glowing word-of-mouth.

    Rajhans Cinemas isn’t stopping there. With 160 screens already operating nationwide, the chain has 65 more under development across 15 cities, from Noida and Gurgaon to Vizag and Hyderabad, all set to open by mid-2026.

    “This isn’t just a new screen, it’s a landmark in Surat’s cinematic journey,” says Rajhans Group chairman Jayesh Desai. “We’re not just elevating the movie experience; we’re introducing a new era of storytelling that engages all the senses.”

    For India’s fast-growing regional cities, the message is clear: the days of settling for “good enough” entertainment are over. With premium formats like IMAX moving beyond metros, the blockbuster experience is becoming a hometown affair.

    Rajhans Cinemas rolls out the red carpet for Surat’s real stars

    MUMBAI: Rajhans Cinemas swapped blockbusters for big hearts this week, hosting a special screening of Sitare Zameen Par exclusively for specially-abled children across Surat. The event, held at Rajhans Cinemas Vesu and Katargam, welcomed bright young viewers from Anand Special School for Education and Training and Deep Special Educational Trust, turning an ordinary day into one packed with popcorn, purpose, and plenty of smiles.

    As part of the brand’s commitment to “happiness beyond the screen”, Rajhans pulled out all the stops—right from accessible seating to an army of volunteers ensuring comfort and care for every child. The atmosphere was electric, brimming with laughter, wide-eyed wonder, and a few happy tears from parents and caregivers alike.

    Speaking on the occasion, Rajhans Cinemas chairman Jayesh Desai said, “We believe cinema has the power to unite, heal, and inspire. This special screening is a small step toward creating inclusive experiences that bring smiles and joy to every heart.”

    For Rajhans Cinemas, the initiative signals more than corporate social responsibility—it’s a reaffirmation of their ethos: entertainment for all, empathy at the core.

    And in a world of superheroes and stardust, it was clear who the real stars were that day.
