What is PVR?

PVR, short for Priya Village Roadshow, is India's largest and most popular multiplex cinema chain, headquartered in Mumbai. It was founded in 1995 by Ajay Bijli and Sanjeev K. Bijli, with the first multiplex opening in Saket, Delhi. The name combines 'Priya' (the first single-screen cinema owned by the founders) and 'Village Roadshow' (the Australian entertainment company that was a partner). PVR revolutionized movie-watching in India by introducing modern multiplexes with multiple screens, high-quality projection, comfortable seating, and food courts. Today, PVR operates hundreds of screens across major Indian cities and towns, playing a key role in the exhibition of Bollywood, Hollywood, and regional films. It is also associated with premium formats like IMAX, 4DX, and Director's Cut. The brand is ubiquitous in Indian metro cities, often used as a meeting point for friends and families. For students of media or business, PVR is a case study in successful brand building and entertainment retail. Exam relevance: frequently appears in general knowledge and business studies questions.
