Cinema VinesGodzilla Minus Zero is finally set to hit Indian screens on November 20, according to a statement from PVR INOX Pictures Limited. The Japanese monster film will open across 35 IMAX theatres in the country, a move confirmed by Nayana Bijli, the company’s Lead – Distribution, Licensing & Content Acquisition. The release date comes after a series of announcements that began in September, when Kamal Gianchandani, Chief Business Planning & Strategy at PVR INOX Limited and CEO of PVR INOX Pictures Limited, confirmed that the film would arrive in India.
On October 27, the company’s social‑media handle posted the official poster for Godzilla Minus Zero, which carried the tagline “Filmed for IMAX.” That was the first public confirmation that the movie would be shown in the premium format. The poster’s release was followed by a series of press releases that hinted at a November 20 opening, noting that the Indian epic Ramayana would hold a two‑week exclusivity across all IMAX screens during that period.
In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bijli reiterated the November 20 date and confirmed the IMAX rollout. She added that the film would be released on the same day as The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping, which will also open in IMAX. “We have a busy November and December,” she said. “Godzilla Minus Zero is releasing on November 20. The Hunger Games releases on the same day and it will also have a release in IMAX.”
Bijli expressed excitement about the film’s global reception, saying, “I am especially excited about Godzilla Minus Zero, especially after learning about how it's been received all over the world. Hence, it can be really interesting to see how it unfolds here.” She also acknowledged the high level of fan interest on social media, noting that many queries had come in asking when the movie would arrive in cinemas.
Alongside Godzilla Minus Zero, PVR INOX Pictures is gearing up for a slate of releases in November and December, including I Play Rocky, Wildwood, Victorian Psycho, Above The Below, Eetha, and several other titles across different genres and languages. The company’s spokesperson described the upcoming schedule as “very exciting,” highlighting the frequency of significant releases from the distributor.
