Sanjeev Kumar Bijli Executive Director of PVR INOX praises Civil War as a powerful film. Set to bring more independent films in foreign languages for Indian audiences as the multiplex chain plans to roll out 90 more screens in India this year.

At a special screening in Delhi this week, prior to the release of Civil War in India on April 19, he said independent films in foreign languages have found a resonance with Indian audiences. Excerpts
