This is the third consecutive year that we are holding Marathi Film Festival and we are honored to be the only multiplex in Maharashtra doing so. We have always received fabulous response from our patrons and thus tried to show the best movies during the festival. We feel that Marathi Film Industry will finally begin to get its due recognition as multiplex players such as Cinemax  make the best of Marathi films available for our audiences. This will surely offer a boost to the industry encouraging Marathi filmmakers to make movies with new concepts and issues.
