In a major treat for Indian fans, PVR Inox has announced on Thursday that it will bring BTS's much-awaited ‘Arirang' World Tour to cinema screens across over 20 cities in India, combining both live screenings and re-broadcasts.
The event is set to begin with a live screening of the Goyang concert on April 11, followed by the Tokyo show on April 18, along with additional rebroadcast screenings. This format is designed to make the concert accessible to more viewers, especially those who may miss the live telecast.
The screenings will reach a wide audience, covering over 25 cities, including Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Chandigarh, Mohali, Dehradun, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Mumbai, Pune, Nashik, Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Ranchi, Indore, Kolkata, Jaipur, Udaipur, Raipur, Patna, and Guwahati. The large rollout highlights the growing demand for international music content in India.
The Arirang screenings come after a series of successful K-pop concert releases by PVR Inox, including BTS: Yet to Come in Cinemas and Burn the Stage: The Movie, both of which drew huge crowds and saw sold-out screenings across the country.
Aamer Bijli, who leads Innovation, Film Marketing and Digital Programming at PVR INOX, said the initiative reflects how cinema is evolving into a more experience-driven space, where audiences want immersive and collective viewing moments beyond traditional films.
