Ajay Bijli, Managing Director, PVR Inox, said, "The first half of FY’26 has been one of the strongest for Indian cinema in recent years, powered by a diverse slate across Hindi, Hollywood, and Regional films. Initiatives like Blockbuster Tuesdays and our new value offerings are deepening consumer engagement and driving higher footfalls. With a robust content pipeline ahead and continued focus on capitallight growth and deleveraging, we are well positioned to build on this momentum."

In a press release, the company said that the Indian box office grew 15% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half of FY26, driven not by a few

mega blockbusters but by a steady and diverse mix of films across languages and scales. In the September quarter alone, 12 films crossed the ₹100 crore mark.

"A consistent release calendar and strong content have kept audiences engaged. Blockbusters like ‘Saiyaara’ (₹400 crore) and ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ (₹300 crore+) highlight how quality content is driving demand, while star-led films such as ‘War 2’ and ‘Jolly LLB 3’ have also delivered strong results," it added.

PVR Inox also informed that it has passed on the benefits of the GST rate cut to customers. The GST for tickets priced ₹100 or below has been reduced from 12% to 5%. Blockbuster Tuesdays, which earlier cost ₹99, is now available at ₹92.

The company also stated that the outlook for the remainder of FY26 remains highly encouraging.
