These include some of the biggest chains in the country like PVR, Fun Republic and Adlabs. This gives the company major distribution and exhibition strength which it passes on, not just for its own films but also for those from outside producers.

During the last 30 years, the company has produced over 20 films and growing, all of which have generated tremendous profits for the company.
