The Hindu
Sanjeev Kumar Bijli Executive Director of PVR INOX praises Civil War as a powerful film. Set to bring more independent films in foreign languages for Indian audiences as the multiplex chain plans to roll out 90 more screens in India this year.
Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, the Executive Director of multiplex chain PVR INOX saw the script of Civil War at the American Film Market last year and found the story incredible. Later when he watched it at the Berlin Film Festival he felt the Alex Garland directed dystopian film about journalists travelling across the United States during a civil war is a strong film that should be shown to Indian audiences too.
At a special screening in Delhi this week, prior to the release of Civil War in India on April 19, he said independent films in foreign languages have found a resonance with Indian audiences. Excerpts
