In 1988, Bijli took control of the cinema and transformed it in 1990, leading to the establishment of PVR Cinemas. The company was formed through a joint venture between Priya Exhibitors Private Limited and Village Roadshow Limited with a 60:40 ratio in 1995 and began its commercial operations in June 1997. The founder Chairman and Managing Director of PVR Cinemas is Ajay Bijli and his brother, Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, serves as Joint Managing Director of PVR Ltd. The company also has a proactive CSR wing under PVR. The first PVR Gold Screen was introduced in Bengaluru’s Forum Mall.

PVR revealed their partnership with the film “RRR” for promotion purposes in October 2021. As part of the collaboration, PVR would temporarily rebrand itself as “PVRRR” at its 170+ locations across 70 cities for a few months after the film’s release on March 25, 2022. In June of the following year, PVR announced a partnership with French luxury theater company, Ice Theatres, a subsidiary of CGR Theatres, to establish new premium theaters in India.
