PVR Ltd. has partnered with UFO Moviezto announce the installation of a cinema-specific air sterilization device called‘UFO-Wolf AirMask’. To ensure the safety of visiting patrons, it offers real-time air sterilization providing protection against all kinds of harmful bacteria, viruses and microbes in the air and surfaces. It is successfully tested on SARS COVID-2 VIRUS at Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Trivandrum, an ICMR recognized and ILAC Accredited Lab (International), which is specially designed for cinema halls.
The product was launched in the presence of Actor-Producer, Mr. John Abraham at PVR Juhu, Mumbai along with the promotion of his upcoming movie, Satyameva Jayate 2. Cinemas have reopened nationally with various states removing restrictions in capacity and others expected to join them soon. The country has also reached a sustained endemic state and audiences have resumed their big-screen movie watching experience with the vibrant content pipeline in the offering.
PVR Cinemas becomes the first multiplex in India to install these units at its theatres across the country, further making the cinema experience safe for its patrons beyond the standard safety protocols laid down by the government and its 100% vaccinated staff. The device would be installed in the auditoriums, lobbies, and washrooms.
The technology adoption is an extension to the overall gamut of the PVR Cares program that covers enhanced safety measures and procedures for the Post Covid-19 World ensuring the health and well-being of patrons and employees.The Cinema Exhibition Sector is one of the worst-hit sectors and amidst the tumult of this unprecedented period, the Company’s priority has been to safeguard the health and well-being of its employees, customers, and communities at large while continuing the business operations with responsibility and care. As a category leader, PVR went ahead to ensure that cinemas are safe in every possible way for both guests and staff; and going beyond what was mandated by the government. The safety and hygiene parameter across every touchpoint in the customer journey right from Box Office, Security, Lobby, Audi, Concession, Rest Room and Exit was addressed in PVR Care. Technology has played a key role in making cinemas safer such as the use of anti-microbial film on most-touched surfaces, use of UV cabinets to sterilize all food packaging, digital transactions enabled via NFC, E-Wallets, paperless movie ticket purchase through QR code entry. Going beyond vaccinating its sown employees before PVR reopened its cinemas, it played a humble role in becoming the evangelists for the film fraternity by providing free vaccination at its cinema to the marginalized daily wage workers such as spot-boys, light-meet registered with the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE).
