Private Movie Screening with Dinner: Where to Book in India
A private movie screening is exactly what it sounds like: a screen set up for you alone, usually on a rooftop, in a cabana or in a private room, with dinner served alongside. You choose the film. Nobody else is in the room. It has become one of the most requested celebration formats in India, used for birthdays, anniversaries and proposals.
How it works
- The setup: a projector and screen with seating for two, indoors or outdoors depending on the venue.
- The film: you pick it, normally from a streaming account the venue provides or one you bring.
- The food: a set menu of three to five courses, served during or before the film.
- The slot: two to four hours, since the venue takes one booking a night.
- Extras: decor, a cake, flowers and photography are usually charged separately.

Booking tips
- Book 7 to 10 days ahead. There is only one screening a night at most venues.
- Ask how the film is played. Some venues need you to bring your own streaming login or a downloaded file.
- Outdoor screenings depend on weather. October to March is the safe window in the north; avoid the Mumbai monsoon.
- Confirm the seating. Some setups are a sofa, others a dinner table facing the screen.
- Mention dietary needs when you book, since the menu is fixed.
