PVR‑Inox is under scrutiny after allegations that its distribution deals create a conflict of interest.
PVR‑Inox, one of India’s largest cinema chains, is facing accusations that its show‑distribution practices may create a conflict of interest.
The claims were raised by industry observers who argue that the company’s dual role as both exhibitor and distributor could give it an unfair advantage in securing screen space for certain films.
PVR‑Inox has yet to issue a formal response to the allegations, and the matter has attracted the attention of regulatory bodies overseeing fair competition in the entertainment sector.
Industry analysts say the controversy could prompt a review of distribution agreements and lead to stricter oversight of cinema chains that also handle film distribution.
