PVR made a customer sit through 17 mins of extra advertisements before his movie began, ordered to pay Rs 75,000

A night out at the movies turned into a legal fight for a Hyderabad advocate, and he has come out of it with a Rs 75,000 order against PVR Cinemas. The advocate had booked two tickets for a late show, set to begin at 10:35 PM. He walked in and took his seat well before that, expecting the film to start on time. Instead, the screen kept running advertisements and trailers, and the movie only began 17 minutes after its scheduled time. That gap ended up costing him nearly an hour at the other end of the night, since he reached home around 3 AM instead of the 2 AM he had planned for.
