“PVR Cinemas have decided to bring these greatest films at the theatres once again to India, since we have always wanted to see a vibrant movie culture in our country and bring to our select audience varied films including such classics. So when the idea of this festival came up, we immediately started working on it. We at PVR are also very grateful and thankful to Ray Ban for associating with the project and providing us with all their support. PVR has been known for the finest movie going experience and it has always been our endeavour to bring the most diverse content to our cinemas. The films selected in the festival are milestones in the journey of world cinema and I am sure that our patrons will love to see them and make the festival a huge success,” said Cinemedia PVR CEO Gautam Dutta.
