Novo Cinemas

Another big feature option to choose from has been Novo Cinemas at IMG Worlds of Adventure in Dubai. It is a convenient IMAX auditorium for people who live around Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubailand.

For those who like physical effects, 4DX may be an IMAX replacement. Action crazy films from India are even more fun when combined with motion controls, music, lights and many other effects on the seats.

How to Book Indian Movie Tickets?

Before choosing a show watch the info on the language and the subtitles. UAE cinemas might have the same movie available in different languages i.e. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada, and subtitle options may differ.

Booking via the cinema company’s official website or application is the easiest method to book tickets. Online tools like VOX Cinemas, Reel Cinemas and ROXY Cinemas provide users with the opportunity to not only see showtimes but also to book seats and order refreshments beforehand.

In the case of significant releases, it is recommended to reserve a place early. During Thursday/ Friday evening films are apt to sell out very soon, especially in the high end IMAX auditoriums in popular Indian movies. Creating large format viewing centers are preferred locations.

Tips to Save Money and Get Better Seats

Always read your UAE institution’s entertainment offers prior to buying. Certain cards might offer cheaper movie passes, buy-one-get-one and other offers to help cardholders save money on cinema entry.

Also, before booking the movie, viewers should be aware of the age rating, especially when it comes to movies with action and thriller plots. If any age restrictions apply to the film selected, carry identification with you.
