Moviegoer awarded damages over agony' of commercials before the show
Briefly

Abhishek M R, a Bangalore lawyer, was awarded damages for mental distress caused by long commercials before a movie screening at PVR INOX. He sued after missing a work call due to extended delays, contributing to his claim of wasted time and unfair trade practice. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruled in his favor, highlighting consumer rights and the importance of timely screenings in cinema, and ordered PVR INOX to compensate him and contribute to the Consumer Welfare Fund.
In the new era, time is considered as money; each one's time is very precious. It is reasonable to expect movies to start on time without unnecessary delays.
Abhishek M R's complaint emphasized the mental agony caused by late movie screenings and how prolonged commercial durations can disrupt personal schedules, including work commitments.
