Talking about their latest endeavor Mr. Kapil Agarwal, Joint Managing Director, UFO Moviez India Ltd. says, “We are proud to introduce this pioneering concept of bringing live IPL matches across Indian theatres. With a target of showcasing the IPL across 1000 cinemas we have got into strategic alliances with multiplexes & single screen cinemas across the country including Tier 2 & 3 cities. As no major bollywood films will be released during this IPL, this will serve as profitable alternate revenue generating entertainment content for the exhibitors. The High Definition format of IPL matches, which means better quality and more content on screen, that too without any ads will be an "out of the world" viewing experience for the patrons.” |
