Kotak Mahindra Bank and multiplex operator PVR INOX have relaunched their co-branded credit card, introducing new features aimed at cinema-goers. The card offers select benefits on movie tickets, food and beverage purchases, and access to upgraded cinema formats.
As part of the partnership, 43 cinema properties across 21 cities have been rebranded as Kotak LUXE and Kotak INSIGNIA. These locations now offer upgraded seating and premium services.
What Makes It Stand Out
- 25% off on movie tickets at Kotak-branded PVR INOX cinemas (LUXE and INSIGNIA formats) for a limited period.
- 5% ongoing discount on all PVR INOX bookings via theatres, website or app.
- 20% off on food & beverages at PVR INOX outlets.
- Free access to in‑cinema lounges at select rebranded locations.
Who’s Behind It
- Kotak Mahindra Bank has relaunched its PVR INOX co‑branded credit card, continuing a partnership that spans over 17 years.
- As part of the relaunch, 43 cinemas across 21 cities have been upgraded and rebranded as premium Kotak LUXE and Kotak INSIGNIA formats, offering enhanced seating and services.
Real‑World Performance
- For every ₹10,000 spent per billing cycle, you earn one free movie ticket worth ₹300. There’s no cap on how many you can earn.
- Illustrative savings: For ₹12,000 monthly spends on movies and F&B, you could save over ₹775/month (~₹9,300 annually), netting ~6.1% savings after deducting the ₹499 annual fee.
Final Take
For frequent moviegoers who spend regularly, this card delivers tangible value—especially via free tickets and food discounts. The upgraded lounge access and premium cinemas make it appealing for fans seeking more than just basic offers. However, if you’re occasional or value flexibility/perks beyond movies, this might not offer the best bang for your buck.
