Popcorn Was Over, But the Movie Never Started: A highly anticipated moment turned into massive disappointment for fans of Tom Cruise in Delhi today, as the latest installment Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning failed to screen at a major PVR theatre despite a packed house.
The incident occurred on the film’s official India release date, where excited viewers had booked tickets well in advance for the action-packed thriller. Unfortunately, even after waiting for hours — with popcorn in hand and expectations sky-high — the movie never started.
Frustration quickly turned into outrage. Many moviegoers took to social media to express their anger, sharing videos from inside the hall where the screen remained blank. Some even reported that theatre staff were unresponsive and failed to offer any clear explanation.
One viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“I waited over an hour, popcorn finished, energy drained — but no Mission Impossible show. Is this how international releases are handled in India?”
The Delhi-based theatre in question — part of the PVR chain — has yet to issue an official statement. Several attendees are now demanding refunds, compensation, and even considering legal action against the theatre chain for mismanagement and mental harassment.
Fans also highlighted how such chaos during the release of a global blockbuster damages the image of Indian cinema experience for international films.
