Connplex Cinemas Expands Footprint in Odisha with New 3-Screen Multiplex in Jajpur
Entertainment company strengthens presence in eastern India as part of national growth strategy
Bhubaneswar : In a major boost to Odisha’s entertainment landscape, Connplex Cinemas Limited (NSE: CONNPLEX | INE0EAS01014), one of India’s fastest-growing cinema chains, has announced the launch of its new 3-screen multiplex in Jajpur. The property, featuring 208 ultra-comfortable seats, marks the company’s first foray into the district and underscores its commitment to expanding premium cinema experiences across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
Alongside the Jajpur launch, Connplex also inaugurated a 2-screen cinema with 268 seats in Sangamner, Maharashtra. With these additions, Connplex Cinemas now operates 88 screens across 33 properties in 25 cities spanning nine states, offering a total of 7,307 seats nationwide. The company’s rapid expansion follows a successful streak of openings in Hyderabad, Bharuch, Anand, and Gurugram, consolidating its footprint in emerging and high-growth markets.
The Jajpur property represents Connplex’s growing presence in eastern India and reflects Odisha’s rising prominence as a hub for urban entertainment and lifestyle development. Equipped with advanced Dolby 7.1 surround sound technology, 2K & 3D projection systems, and luxurious recliner seating, the new cinema aims to provide an immersive and comfortable viewing experience for audiences in the region.
Speaking on the occasion, Rahul Kamleshbhai Dhyani, Joint Managing Director of Connplex Cinemas Limited, said, “Our latest openings in Odisha and Maharashtra mark another milestone in Connplex’s nationwide growth journey. We are scaling rapidly, entering new geographies, and strengthening our brand presence across India. With 88 screens now operational and several more under development, we remain committed to offering audiences world-class cinema experiences while continuing our mission to make premium entertainment accessible to all.”
Connplex’s expansion in Odisha comes at a time when the state is witnessing a surge in demand for modern entertainment infrastructure. As cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Rourkela, and Jajpur evolve into commercial and industrial centers, there is a growing appetite for family-oriented leisure spaces that combine affordability with a premium experience.
The company’s strategic focus on Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities aligns with the changing dynamics of India’s cinema industry, where smaller towns are emerging as key growth markets for multiplex operators. Connplex aims to bridge the gap between metro and non-metro audiences by offering state-of-the-art facilities, digital ticketing, and customized food and beverage services at affordable prices.
Industry experts view the expansion as a positive development for Odisha’s regional economy. The new cinema in Jajpur is expected to create direct and indirect employment opportunities while also contributing to the local entertainment ecosystem by supporting film distribution and regional cinema.
Connplex Cinemas’ rapid growth trajectory reflects the company’s robust business model and focus on innovation. Founded with the vision of redefining the moviegoing experience, the company continues to emphasize quality, comfort, and accessibility. Its diversified portfolio across multiple states positions it as one of the most dynamic players in India’s entertainment sector.
With several projects already in the pipeline, Connplex is gearing up to cross the 100-screen milestone in the near future. The company’s management has indicated that upcoming expansions will further strengthen its presence in eastern and southern India, including potential new properties in Odisha and neighboring states.
As the Jajpur multiplex opens its doors, movie enthusiasts in Odisha can look forward to an elevated cinematic experience — one that combines cutting-edge technology with the warmth and accessibility of small-town hospitality.
