New Delhi, Aug 17 (IANSlife): The largest movie theatre chain in India, PVR Cinemas, just celebrated 25 illustrious years in business. PVR started the multiplex revolution in India in 1997 and has since wowed moviegoers throughout the nation by reinventing what it means to experience the best cinema.
To commemorate this important milestone, the brand is rolling out a multi-media campaign with a film- "Iss Andhere mein bahut Roshni hai (There is light in this darkness)" featuring actor Aamir Khan.
The concept for the film was derived from a consumer insight and the poem was written by Vineet KKN Panchhi which was further evolved for the film. The film idea comes from the insight of all the emotions and experiences the audience goes through - the magic of movies, the bonding and escaping to a fantasy world, when the lights go down.
The film is a perfect play of light and darkness, taking the viewer on a journey that is brought to life inside our cinemas as that's the only place where darkness plays that role. It reinforces the promise of - "more magic", "more memories", "more adventures" and "more happiness" to moviegoers to remain relevant, both as a category as well as a brand.
Commenting on the 25 year successful journey of PVR, Ajay Bijli, Chairman and Managing Director, PVR Limited said, "We take immense pride and feel extremely joyous on completing the 25 years milestone in India. The entertainment industry, the viewership patterns as well as the audience has evolved over the years and PVR has been able to live up to their expectations. As we continue to meaningfully engage consumers as well as introduce them to newer cinematic experiences, our focus will remain on bringing winning stories to the screen and adding joy and comfort to the life of our stakeholders."
PVR was established in 1997 with the single goal of utterly revolutionising the movie-going experience for Indian audiences. It has given Indian audiences access to the most recent movie forms over the past 25 years. The brand has changed to keep up with the times by utilising cutting-edge technology like extra-large screens, Laser Projection Systems, and immersive sound to bring the movie to life in every last detail.
