SANJEEV KUMAR BIJLI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PVR INOX

Multiplex chain PVRINOX is reimagining cinemas as social spaces, blending movies, design and lifestyle into one curated experience.

Its latest, a six-screen luxury multiplex in Pitampura in Delhi, offers a nail bar, gaming arena, lounge, perfumery corner and cafe. Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, executive director, PVRINOX, talks to Sugandha Mukherjee about the premiumisation push, surge in re-releases, expansion, ticket pricing, and what to look forward toin 2026. Excerpts:

Given how cinema-going is now largely for an experience rather than an imperative, thanks to OTT, is your thrust more on differentiated offerings like Cinemagic or are you equally focused on mass-market formats?
