Miraj Cinemas Rolls Out ‘Youth Movie Munch’ to Delight Student Moviegoers

Mumbai, July 22, 2025: Move over expensive subscriptions, Gen Z is heading back to theatres. And this time, they’re being greeted with more than just big-screen thrills. With offers like free popcorn for students, weekly snack deals, and curated experiences, cinema chains are reimagining the movie-going experience for a younger, value-conscious audience.

Leading this shift is Miraj Cinemas, which recently introduced ‘Youth Movie Munch’, a simple yet smart offer that gives any student a free small popcorn on showing their college ID. No codes. No gimmicks. Just a good old campus perk that makes a movie night out a little more fun (and a small saving also).

Bhuvanesh Mendiratta, MD, Miraj Entertainment Ltd. says, “Today’s students are looking for affordable indulgences. We’re building not just footfalls, but loyalty, by turning cinema visits into micro-celebrations. Small gestures like free popcorn go a long way.”

This offer complements another hit from the national multiplex chain, ‘Tasty Tuesday’, where moviegoers can grab tickets for blockbuster movies and unbeatable snacks offers, starting at ₹99/- at select locations. These midweek crowd-pullers are helping cinemas tap into weekday slack, while building a connection with the price-sensitive Gen Z segment that still loves going out, just more selectively.

It’s part of a larger trend: Indian multiplexes, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, are shifting their focus back to real-world engagement. From youth-specific campaigns and college tie-ups to hyperlocal promotions, the focus is shifting from just screen content to social value.

What used to be a weekend-only family affair is now a weekday student escape, one small popcorn at a time.
