The first such lounge was launched in Noida, and similar lounges will come up in Mumbai, Delhi and a couple of South Indian cities in next six to eight months.

In these VR lounges, movie buffs will get to experience a new dimension of entertainment before the film begins.

"We track our consumers' journey across properties and are always on the lookout for what more we can offer them. This idea of VR lounge came last year and we partnered with HP for the latest ground-breaking technology," said PVR CEO Gautam Dutta.

Dutta added that it would cost about Rs 1.5 crore per lounge on an average, owing to average per seat cost being Rs 25 lakh, and all lounges having 4-12 seats.
