CHENNAI: PVR INOX will screen 15 Oscar-nominated films across 23 cities and 58 cinemas from February 20 to March 18 as part of a special festival dedicated to this year’s Academy Award contenders.

The company noted that there has been consistent audience interest in watching Academy Award nominated films on the big screen, prompting a wider rollout across more cities and screens.
