Every Nehru Place cinema hall comes with a backstory, and there are three of them within a short walk: a multiplex that began life under another name, a luxury screen inside a food mall, and a giant single screen that went dark for 15 years before coming back as an IMAX. If you’ve searched for “PVR Nehru Place,” you’ve landed in the right place too. There’s a reason that search leads here.

Why “PVR Nehru Place” Leads to INOX
PVR and INOX merged in February 2023 to form PVR INOX, India’s largest multiplex chain. After the merger, existing cinemas kept their original PVR or INOX names, while new properties opened as PVR INOX.
So there’s no PVR-branded screen in Nehru Place. Every cinema here belongs to the same PVR INOX company, and you can book all three through its app.

INOX Nehru Place: Still “Satyam” to Most Delhiites
Ask a South Delhi local for directions to INOX Nehru Place, and they may look puzzled until you say “Satyam.” For years, this was one of Satyam Cineplexes’ three flagship Delhi properties, alongside Janak Place and Patel Nagar.
In August 2014, INOX bought Satyam Cineplexes outright for ₹182 crore, and the Nehru Place multiplex took on the INOX name. Old habits stuck, though. Plenty of listings still use “INOX Nehru Place Satyam,” and restaurant directions around the area still say “behind Satyam Cinema.”
There’s a second naming echo worth noticing. The cinema’s official ticketing address reads “Near Intercontinental Hotel,” referencing the brand Eros Hotel dropped over a decade ago. With Eros set to become an InterContinental again by 2029, that stale address may end up being accurate once more.
Listed amenities include recliner seating, food and beverage counters, parking and digital payments. Older listings put ticket prices anywhere from about ₹200 for standard seats to ₹900 for premium ones, but those figures may be outdated, so check the app for current rates.

INOX Insignia at Epicuria: The Luxury Screen
Insignia is INOX’s top-tier format, marketed as a “7-star” movie experience. When INOX launched the concept, it promised plush leather recliners, gourmet food and butler-on-call service.
The Nehru Place Insignia sits at Unit 02 on the upper ground floor of Epicuria, inside the metro station food mall. That location makes it easy to combine dinner and a late show without stepping outside.
Expect Insignia tickets to cost well above standard multiplex rates.
Paras: The Comeback Story
Paras Cinema once ranked among Delhi’s largest single-screen halls. Then it went dark for about 15 years.
In September 2023, PVR INOX reopened it as an IMAX with Laser theatre seating 305. At launch, it became Delhi’s fifth IMAX and only the second standalone IMAX theatre in India, after PVR Priya in Vasant Vihar.
IMAX with Laser uses 4K laser projection and a precision sound system built for large-format films. If a big action release or visual spectacle is playing, this is the screen to choose in South Delhi. Listings show late shows running past 11 PM.

Booking Tickets and Checking Showtimes
Showtimes change weekly, usually shifting with Friday releases. Check before you travel, rather than trusting timings you saw days earlier.
You can book through the PVR INOX app or website, or through ticketing platforms such as District. Most listings allow digital payments and mobile tickets, and some allow cancellation depending on the show.
Weekend evening shows fill fastest, especially IMAX screenings of major releases. Weekday matinees usually offer the most seat choice.
Getting Home After a Late Show
The Violet Line’s last trains from Nehru Place leave around 11:15 PM, according to published timetables. Many evening shows end after that, particularly IMAX screenings that start past 11 PM.
Plan a cab or auto for late shows. Nehru Place’s surroundings get noticeably quieter after the market closes, so booking a ride before the film ends saves waiting around outside.
