Multiplex majors such as PVR and Inox Leisure rebounded on Monday after taking a beating in the previous session. The recovery was primarily on account of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Brahmastra Part One: Shiva movie’s box office collections crossing the Rs 100 crore mark. The movie collected Rs 31.5 crore on Friday, Rs 37.5 crore on Saturday and Rs 39.5 crore on Sunday, as per film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh. Adarsh said that the film’s final total could be higher and it is doing well in national chains.
Shares of PVR gained as much as 4.06 per cent or Rs 74.45 to trade at Rs 1,908.60. During intra-day trades, the shares hit a high of Rs 1,926.20. Inox Leisure saw its shares surge more than 4.5 per cent or Rs 22.55 to trade at Rs 516.95.
