A question for Mr. Ajay Bijli

How tough is it to get your people to prepare decent popcorn for the movie goers who are paying a bounty for them in your movie theaters.

I pay decent amount of money to go watch movies in the PVR Theater. I pay awful amount of money for the popcorn that is served in your eateries.

And then I find them stale. So stale that it is hard to even smell them forget eat them.

Add to that the beverage. Which is nowhere near to the actual taste if you purchase them from the outside stores.

If it is not for the fizz, the sugar would be in variable quantities. If not for sugar, the machines would be low on the flavor leading to a pathetic quality beverage.

Heh, me too had a terrible experience with PVR, emailed the contact email id on their corporate website and nobody ever replied. I wonder why customer support is so pathetic in all companies, seems as if consumers hold no value for any company.

Here's the thing: I learnt that PVRs do not make revenue off the tickets they sell. 80% of their revenue is from the snack bar, because the tcket prices barely make enough for taxes and actual cost of running the film. The major profit outlet is the snack bar, with the overpriced popcorn and water and soda and everything else.
The cheaper it is to produce a bag of popcorn, bigger the profit margins. I think we are a victim of increasing profiteering.

@ SAM: That I know. But if you are charging 170 bucks for 2 glasses of Pepsi and a bucket of popcorn... How hard is to make sure they are at least tasteful!

I have had a terrible experience in PVR @Forum bangalore. Initially, when PVR launched around 2 years back in Bangalore, I got in on time around 5 min before the movie, I was made to wait because they said cleaning in progress and was made t wait.
Even after 20 min, we were not let in. so I thought of going out and have snack and come back in but surprisingly the security did not let me out saying that they will not let me in if I go out now!!!. I had to argue with the security guys who were extremely rude.

Coming to the service which is very poor , the ticket seller in PVR behaves as though he is some govt org and is not even bothered answer your queries and you need to bow down to these people to give some proper information. Not to mention that the ticket seller was extremely rude as well.

Smaller theaters without the high ambiance provides better service.

One thing you people dont understand is we are in India. Secondly if you want to protest PVR or any business for thier unethical, unprofessional, bad support or product/service DONT just blog, stop giving business to them. And tell that you are GONNA stop visiting again to the manager or supervisor in the business centre when you leave. One or two instance they will ignore, later when customers drop they will learn.

Hey you guys, i believe, are only here to criticize PVR and other good companies who gives us the best movie experience. Seems you want to watch movies in best of cinemas and without spending money. If you are so money conscious, why do you prefer PVR then, why dont you watch movies in other single screen theatre where prices are cheap and you will get the best popcorn there. To criticize someone is the easiest job in this world. Please...........please...........please dont be negative, see the positive aspect there too.
