Foovies on the menu as Cinépolis serves cinema with a side of flavour
MUMBAI: Dinner and a movie? Cinépolis just scrapped the “and” and turned it into one irresistible package. With the launch of Foovies, India’s first international cinema exhibitor has spiced up the big screen by serving freshly prepared, indulgent meals right inside the theatre. Gone are the days when cinema food meant just popcorn and cola. Foovies flips the script with a vibrant menu ranging from pizzas, wraps, fries, nachos, and samosas to decadent in-house desserts. Every dish is crafted with the same flair that fuels the stories on screen, repositioning Cinépolis as not just a multiplex but a bona fide foodie destination.
To mark the debut, the chain has rolled out Foovies25, offering 25 per cent off on food and tickets, alongside Club Cinépolis loyalty perks that let patrons earn and redeem points on meals. The move is aimed squarely at India’s two great passions, food and film blending them into a seamless lifestyle experience whether it’s a date night, family outing, or weekend catch-up with friends.
“At Cinépolis, we don’t just showcase films, we craft experiences,” said Cinépolis India managing director Devang Sampat. “Foovies is our bold step to make every movie visit an immersive lifestyle indulgence, blending the joy of cinema with the comfort of world-class food.”
Since its India entry in 2009, Cinépolis has set benchmarks with luxury recliners, Dolby surround sound, cutting-edge projection, and its globally famed popcorn. With Foovies, the brand has now raised the stakes again transforming theatres into dining destinations and reshaping the very way India consumes entertainment.
Because sometimes, the best plot twist isn’t on the screen, but on your plate.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
