History[edit]

PVR Saket

The company has its origin as Priya Cinema in South Delhi, which was bought by Ajay Bijli's father in
1978, who also owned a trucking business, Amritsar Transport Co. In 1988, Bijli took over the
running of the cinema hall, which was revamped in 1990, and its success led to the founding PVR
Cinemas.[2][3]
In 2003., ICICI Ventures invested ₹40 crore in PVR when Village Roadshow decided to pull out of
the partnership.[4] In 2012, Kanakia group owned CineMAX cinema chain was bought by Cine
Hospitality Private Ltd, a subsidiary of PVR Cinemas for ₹395 crore (US$55 million), making PVR
the largest cinema chain in India. [5][6] In May 2016, DLF group owned DT Cinemas was bought by
PVR Cinemas for ₹433 crore (US$61 million).[7][8] Recently PVR Cinemas ventured into a new cinema
concept- Superplex in Noida. The cinema has 15 screens with IMAX, 4DX, Gold Class, a playhouse
and mainstream auditoriums. PVR Cinemas has invested ₹48 crores in this new venture. PVR's first
"Gold Screen" was launched in Indore in 2007.[9] Recently, PVR Cinemas in association with HP
India has launched Asia's first Virtual Reality (VR) Lounge at PVR ECX, Mall of India, Noida.
In August 2018, PVR Cinemas announced their acquisition of Chennai-based Sathyam Cinemas for
850 crores in a cash and stock deal. [10]
