An X user shared a frustrating experience from a late-night screening at PVR Luxury, Palladium, Lower Parel, highlighting how a premium movie outing quickly turned into a disrupted and chaotic affair. According to a viewer's account shared online, the situation escalated when certain individuals inside the theatre allegedly began smoking during the film. The act reportedly triggered the fire alarm system inside the theatre, forcing an immediate interruption of the screening.

PVR Luxury screening halted after fire alarm goes off

On Saturday, May 2, an X user named @dakuwithchaku wrote, "Hey @_PVRCinemas, We booked movie with PVR luxury for a show at 10:40 pm at Palladium, and halfway during the movie as some people in the hall started smoking, which triggered the fire alarm. We had to leave the movie midway. What action you took on the morons? And what about the money we lost in the process????"

When another X user questioned how PVR allowed people to enter with cigarettes and a lighter despite strict security checks that even restrict carrying water bottles, the user responded, "Yup. Don't know how they got it in. We only got to know when the staff at the kitchen told us the reason for repeated fire alarm. PVR still his the same and all was going on as normal."
