Quotes

Lead: Distribution and Licensing, PVR INOX Limited
“That’s one of the big reasons the film appealed to us. There's a lot of different metrics that we use to analyse a film that we want to distribute. One of them is commercial appeal. Another is partners and filmmakers who have resonated with Indian audiences before. Then, it is ensuring that the film has some sort of theme that can work well with Indian audiences.”
