About this collection
These aren't just movie nights, they are community experiences. Since seating in the M.L. Bhartia Auditorium is strictly first-come, first-served, we recommend arriving at least 15 minutes before showtime to grab a good spot, and perhaps chat with fellow cinephiles before the lights go down.
Our Ciné-Club is the heart of our cultural calendar in Lodhi Estate. We curate a mix of cinema that spans the spectrum, from timeless French New Wave masterpieces to gritty contemporary thrillers and thought-provoking documentaries. Whether you are a hardcore cinephile or just looking for a new way to spend your evening, you will find something that resonates.
Every film we screen features English subtitles, making our events truly accessible to everyone in Delhi. We believe the best part of watching a film is talking about it afterward, which is why we often host Q&A sessions with directors, producers, and artists. It is a fantastic chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, ask questions, and share your perspective.
We love seeing our auditorium full of people from all walks of life—students, families, and curious souls—bonding over a story. If you enjoy discovering hidden gems and discussing themes of identity, love, or social change in a relaxed, intellectual environment, our doors are open. Entry is always free, so just bring your curiosity and join us for the next screening.
