EXCLUSIVE: PVR INOX's Sanjeev Kumar Bijli talks about consumer court rulings over lengthy cinema ads: We have reduced ad time from 15 mins to 10 mins...we want to make sure that moviegoing experience does not get compromised

In 2025, a Hyderabad-based man approached the Consumer Court after claiming that he was made to watch 22 minutes of advertisements at a PVR INOX theatre when he went to see the Dhanush-Nagarjuna starrer Kubera. Last month, in September 2026, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-II, Hyderabad, held PVR INOX liable for deficiency in service and unfair trade practices and ordered the multiplex chain to pay Rs. 20,000 as compensation to the complainant and Rs. 5,000 towards litigation costs. This was the second such case in which the multiplex chain was asked to compensate an aggrieved moviegoer over advertisements. Last year, a Bengaluru patron, upset over being made to watch nearly 25 minutes of commercials and trailers during a screening of Sam Bahadur, approached the Consumer Court. PVR INOX was subsequently ordered to pay Rs. 1 lakh in compensation and legal costs. Advertisements in cinemas, before a film begins or during the interval, have been a common practice for decades, and moviegoers have largely accepted them. Certain brands have even relied heavily on the big screen for promotions. For instance, viewers in Mumbai would fondly remember the Gangar Opticians advertisement that was regularly shown in cinemas in the early 2000s. Its memorable presentation ensured that the brand enjoyed strong recall value among moviegoers. In recent times, the Lyra Leggings commercial featuring Janhvi Kapoor, along with its catchy theme song, has become firmly etched in the minds of moviegoers, thanks to its repeated screenings in theatres. Interestingly, the ad is rarely, if ever, seen on television, and audiences have largely come across it in cinemas. Those frequenting PVR INOX cinemas would also be familiar with an audiovisual presentation in which prominent brand owners and company officials explain how cinema advertising can have a significant impact on footfalls and sales. However, while patrons may not mind watching advertisements, having become accustomed to them over the years, the problem arises when the commercials go on and on, testing their patience. Bollywood Hungama spoke exclusively with Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, Executive Director, PVR INOX Limited, about the healthy box office performance in September and the first week of October. Towards the end of our interaction, we asked him about the recent ruling concerning cinema advertisements and whether a middle ground could be reached, allowing advertisements to continue but within reasonable limits. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli said, We are always looking at that. We havent received that many complaints. We have also reduced our ad time from 15-18 minutes to 10 minutes, which we thought was a sweet spot and which we thought wasnt compromising on the viewing experience. But of course, you cant please everyone and this happened. But we are obviously keeping a close eye on it. He continued, We havent come out with anything which is a carte blanche policy. But we are keeping a keen eye on it to see how we can reduce it. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that the moviegoing experience does not get compromised by anything. As of now, we have reached a sweet spot as far as ad time is concerned. Hopefully, thatll be palatable and acceptable to everyone.

Amitabh Bachchan pays emotional tribute to Nana Patekar; recalls actors memorable Kaun Banega Crorepati appearance

Amitabh Bachchan paid an emotional tribute to veteran actor Nana Patekar following his sudden demise, remembering him as an exceptional performer, a dear friend and a committed social worker. Reflecting on Patekars legacy, Bachchan highlighted the qualities that set him apart, including his fearlessness, simplicity and courage to speak his mind. In his tribute, Bachchan said, Deviyo aur sajjano, Nana Patekar ji ka achanak aaj subah swargwas ho gaya. Ek adwitiya kalakar, mitra, shubhchintak, aur ek utkrisht samaj sevak aaj hamare beech nahi rahe. Ye na keval Bharatiya film udyog ke liye, balki ek vyaktigat taur par, jinka bhi unke saath sampark hua, usne hum sabko stabdh kar diya hai. Unki bebaki, unki sadgi, aur sach ko sach kehne ka unka saahas, ye sari baatein unko sabse alag banati thi ((Ladies and gentlemen, Nana Patekar ji passed away suddenly this morning. An unparalleled artist, a friend, a well-wisher, and an exceptional social worker is no longer among us. This is not only a monumental loss for the Indian film industry, but also a deeply personal loss for everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. His sudden departure has left us all stunned. His fearlessness, his simplicity, and his courage to call the truth exactly as it was these qualities made him truly different from everyone else). He went on to continue, Kuch log hamare jeevan se chale jaate hain, lekin unki aawaz, unke paropkar, unki sikhai hui seekh hamare bhitar reh jaati hai. Nana unhi logon mein se ek the. Aapko, Nana, vyaktigat roop se mera naman. Aur aapki us kala ko pranam, jise aapne puri imandari se jeeya aur hum sabko samarpit kiya (Some people leave our lives, but their voice, their acts of compassion, and the lessons they have taught us remain within us. Nana was one of those rare people. Nana, I offer you my personal respects. And I salute the art that you lived with complete honesty and devoted wholeheartedly to all of us). Recalling Patekars appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 16, Bachchan also spoke about the actors commitment to humanitarian work. He remembered the special episode as a memorable evening, particularly because Patekar dedicated his prize money to a cause close to his heart. Bachchan said, Iss manch par hamare vishesh karyakram mein ek atithi ke roop mein unka aagman hua tha. Wo yaadgar shaam sada hamare saath rahegi. Unki baaton ne na keval hume prabhavit kiya, balki jis nek kaaj ke liye unhone jeeti hui dhanrashi ko samarpit kiya, wo unki samaj seva ka udaharan tha. Maharashtra ke un gaon mein jo varsha ke abhav se peedit the, unhone wahan ke kisanon ke saath sampark kiya aur vyakatigat roop se unki seva ki (He had come to this stage as a guest for our special episode. That memorable evening will always remain with us. His words not only touched and inspired us, but the noble cause to which he dedicated the prize money he had won was a powerful example of his commitment to social service. In the villages of Maharashtra that were suffering because of a lack of rainfall, he reached out to the farmers and personally extended his support and service to them). View this post on Instagram A post shared by sonytvofficial (@sonytvofficial) The megastar concluded his message by extending his condolences on behalf of the shows team, saying, KBC parivaar ki aur se hardik shradhanjali (On behalf of the entire KBC family, our heartfelt tribute). Beyond his celebrated film career, Patekar was widely associated with social initiatives supporting drought-affected farmers and rural communities in Maharashtra. His work through the Naam Foundation, which he co-founded with Makarand Anaspure, became an important part of his public legacy. About Nana Patekars demise Nana Patekar, a Padma Shri recipient, passed away on October 8, 2026, at the age of 75. According to reports, he suffered a cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula, Goa, and was declared dead at approximately 5:20 AM IST after efforts to revive him proved unsuccessful.

Drishyam The Conclusion producer Panorama Studios quietly emerges as Bollywoods most CONSISTENT hit machine; delivers 5 HITS in a ROW; trade hails Kumar Mangat Pathak-Abhishek Pathak streak

Panorama Studios may not be a name that immediately comes to mind when one thinks of Bollywoods most successful production houses. However, the banner, run by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, has quietly achieved an incredible feat delivering five hits back-to-back, a streak that very few production houses can boast of. The dream run began with Drishyam 2 (2022), which emerged as a blockbuster. Shaitaan (2024), meanwhile, was a super-hit, while Raid 2 (2025) and Dhamaal 4 (2026) emerged as hits. The recently released Drishyam The Conclusion opened with a bang and is now all set to become one of the biggest blockbusters of Hindi cinema. Trade experts are all praise for Panorama Studios for its remarkable and consistent run of successes. Trade veteran Taran Adarsh marvelled, 5 hits in a row is a huge achievement in an industry where its so difficult to have a string of successes. He added, I feel that Kumar Mangat Pathak and the entire team of Panorama believe in bas apna kaam karo! They are not into hogging the limelight. If you notice, any other director in Abhishek Pathaks place would have gone all out, that too since the release of Drishyam 2. In fact, even after the success of Drishyam The Conclusion, he has been maintaining a very low profile. Thats very good, as they let their work do the talking. Trade analyst Atul Mohan agreed, Despite so many successes, they have maintained a low profile. They are not tom-tomming about it and shaanti se, they are working and delivering hit after hit. He added, Also, they have made the right collaborations. With Shaitaan, they collaborated with Jio. For Dhamaal 4 and Raid 2, they joined hands with T-Series, while for Drishyam, they collaborated with Viacom18. So, collaborating with the right people for the right film is also important. Abhishek Pathak is also the director of Drishyam The Conclusion. On this, Atul Mohan opined, He didnt follow the Malayalam Drishyam 3 and remake it. He chose his own path and decided to take the story forward in his own style. Not many would do that, as most would prefer to follow the template since its easier. But he chose the difficult route, and the rest is history.

Drishyam The Conclusion Box Office: Ajay Devgn scores his biggest opening week ever with Rs. 240 cr, leaves Singham Again behind

Drishyam The Conclusion has rewritten Ajay Devgn's box office record books, emerging as the actor's highest opening-week grosser with collections of Rs. 240 crore in its first seven days. The Abhishek Pathak directorial has surpassed the previous record held by Singham Again, underlining the extraordinary response to the concluding chapter of the popular thriller franchise. The film opened in cinemas on October 2 and took full advantage of the Gandhi Jayanti holiday and the extended weekend. It collected Rs. 62 crore on Friday, followed by Rs. 52 crore on Saturday and Rs. 60 crore on Sunday, taking its opening weekend total to Rs. 174 crore. The film maintained its momentum on weekdays, earning Rs. 19 crore each on Monday and Tuesday, followed by Rs. 15.50 crore on Wednesday. With its updated opening-week business now at Rs. 240 crore, the film has delivered an impressive first seven days at the box office. The achievement becomes even more significant when compared with Devgn's previous releases. Singham Again, which had held the top position, collected Rs. 186.60 crore in its opening week. Drishyam The Conclusion has surpassed that figure by Rs. 53.40 crore, registering a growth of approximately 28.6% over the previous record-holder. The difference is equally striking when compared with the actor's other major openers. Golmaal Again collected Rs. 136.07 crore in its first week, while Tanhaji The Unsung Warrior earned Rs. 118.91 crore. Singham Returns had collected Rs. 112.59 crore, and Drishyam 2 brought in Rs. 104.66 crore during its opening week. Devgn's other notable opening-week performers include Raid 2 with Rs. 98.89 crore, Total Dhamaal with Rs. 94.55 crore, Dhamaal 4 with Rs. 94.45 crore and Son Of Sardaar with Rs. 83.25 crore. For Devgn, Drishyam The Conclusion marks a significant shift in his box office benchmarks. The film has not merely topped his opening-week chart but has done so by a substantial margin, with its first seven days delivering more than the opening-week collections of any of his previous releases. With the first-week milestone now in the bag, the focus shifts to how much further the film can travel during its second week and where it will eventually rank among the actor's biggest commercial successes. Ajay Devgn's Top 10 Highest Opening Week Grossers Drishyam The Conclusion - Rs. 240 cr Singham Again - Rs. 186.60 cr Golmaal Again - rs. 136.07 cr Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior - Rs. 118.91 cr Singham Returns - Rs. 112.59 cr Drishyam 2 - Rs. 104.66 cr Raid 2 - Rs. 98.89 cr Total Dhamaal Rs. 94.55 cr Dhamaal 4 - Rs. 94.45 cr Son of Sardaar - Rs. 83.25 cr

Nana Patekars son Malhar explains why actors last rites were held after sunset in Pune

Veteran actor Nana Patekars last rites were performed with full state honours at his Donje farmhouse in Pune on Thursday evening, hours after his mortal remains were transported from Goa. The cremation took place after sunset, leaving several Bollywood celebrities and industry colleagues unable to attend the final rites. Following the cremation, Nana Patekars son Malhar spoke to the media and explained the reason behind the delay. He said the family had to transport the actors mortal remains from Goa to Pune, which took considerable time because of the distance involved. We expected that we would arrive earlier, but it took us some time. He passed away early in the morning so a lot of time had already passed, and it was not advisable to keep the mortal remains for long. Hence, we had to do the cremation after sunset, Malhar said. Nana Patekars mortal remains brought from Goa Nana Patekar passed away at the age of 75 in Goa on October 8 after suffering a severe cardiac arrest at his residence in Dona Paula. He was subsequently taken to Manipal Hospital, where doctors attempted to revive him. His mortal remains were later taken to Goa Medical College for the required procedures before being transported to Maharashtra. The journey from Goa to Pune resulted in the last rites being held later in the day. The actor was cremated with full state honours at his farmhouse in Donje, Pune. His funeral was attended by family members, close friends and several members of the film industry. However, because of the timing, a number of Bollywood colleagues who wished to pay their final respects could not make it to the venue. VIDEO | Pune: Actor Nana Patekar cremated with full state honours at his farmhouse in Donje. His son Malhar Patekar says, The most important thing is that a person like Nana Sahib never really leaves us. I said this for the past two days as well: a person like Nana Sahib lives on through his workIn Marathi, we call such people ajaramar, meaning immortal. That is one thing. The second thing is that he always had one thought. He used to repeat one line again and again: Lets get together in the name of humanity and work for the betterment of the world. (Full video available on PTI Videos - https://t.co/bIyFWTfmBd) Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) October 8, 2026 Malhar says Nana Patekars work will live on Speaking about his fathers legacy, Malhar said Nana Patekars contribution through his work had made him immortal. He also highlighted the actors commitment to social causes and said that his vision would continue even after his passing. Nana Patekar was closely associated with the Naam Foundation, which he co-founded with actor Makarand Anaspure. The organisation has worked on issues including drought relief, water conservation and support for farmers in Maharashtra. Nana Patekars death has led to an outpouring of tributes from across the film industry, political circles and his fans. Several prominent personalities remembered the veteran actor for his intense performances, distinctive voice and contribution to both Hindi and Marathi cinema.
