Now, disabled-friendly seats at PVR Cinemas in Chennai

The reservation policy came into force about six months ago and the number of reserved seats are decided depending on the size of the hall, the spokesperson said. SPI Cinemas has already reserved seats in the front near the exit for PwD. "We welcome this reservation and it will be incredibly helpful," said TNM Deepak, a disability rights activist and a faculty at Loyola College. He however added that what would be more inclusive, is to reserve a set of seats for PwD, senior citizens and pregnant women. "This would not only increase the number of reserved seats, but also reduce the stigma of accessing those seats," he said.
