There have been multiple complaints against the leading Multiplex Chain, PVR INOX about the delay in beginning the show of a film at the scheduled time. The management displays many Advertisements leading to the frustration of the Audience who are seated. Many netizens have also addressed this issue on social media platforms tagging the Multiplex handle but they haven’t cared.
But the Multiplex chain has now received a major shock from a Court which ordered it to pay a fine of ₹1 Lakh to a Man who filed a lawsuit against it for the same issue. The Man from Bengaluru claimed that 25 minutes of Advertisements were displayed before the start of the show wasting his time. He also argued that Audience expects the film to start at the time that is mentioned and also added that they are forced to sit through these lengthy commercials.
Taking his complaint seriously, the court ruled the case in favour of him imposing a fine of ₹1 Lakh on PVR INOX. The court, additionally, also ordered the Multiplex chain to clearly mention the Actual start of the film on tickets ensuring that the viewers are not misled about when the film will actually begin. Netizens are hailing the judgement of the court and feel that this would ensure the time does not get wasted on unnecessary advertisements.
