About this data
A cinema is on this map when it sells tickets on BookMyShow or District (we read both on 23 September 2026), or when someone who knows the town has confirmed it open. Screen counts are floors: screens with shows on the day we checked. Cinemas open, close and renovate between checks, so confirm on the booking page before you travel. Places found only in open map data are shown separately as unverified, because most of those we have checked had closed.
No photos, ratings or reviews are collected. We never access anything private.
