A funding initiative dubbed ‘Dhurandhar money’ is financing the installation of laser projection, 3D technology and premium screens in theatres across India.
The entertainment industry reports that a financial pool known as ‘Dhurandhar money’ is being channelled into modernising cinema halls nationwide. The funding is earmarked for the deployment of laser projection systems, advanced 3D capabilities and the creation of premium‑screen experiences.
The upgrade programme targets multiplexes and single‑screen theatres alike, aiming to bring Indian audiences technology that rivals global standards. Operators say the new equipment promises brighter images, sharper contrast and immersive sound, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Industry analysts note that such investments could boost footfall at cinemas, especially as competition from streaming platforms intensifies. While the exact scale of the rollout remains under observation, the initiative marks a significant step toward revitalising the theatrical exhibition sector in India.
Stakeholders have emphasized that the upgrades are part of a broader effort to future‑proof the cinema ecosystem, ensuring that traditional movie‑going remains a viable entertainment option for diverse audiences across the country.
