has 3300 digital cinema screens across India. The report of ICRA on UFO Moviez, dated 31.01.2019, states that the collective screens of UFO Moviez and Qube Cinema Technologies account for 95 per cent of the total digital screens in India. It has also been stated that there are in all 1400 locations in which Bollywood films are sent for exhibition and display for viewing by the general public, which is the market in which PF Digital Media operates. Out of these 1400 locations, 1064 are serviced by UFO Moviez by way of supply of DCE. It has been submitted that the other 335 locations are serviced by entities like PVR Cinemas, Inox and Cinepolis which have their own DCE, and in these locations, no exclusivity clauses such as those contained in the impugned agreements exist. Hence, cinematograph films where PF Digital Media has conducted post-production processing can only be played in these 335 locations. It has been alleged that PF Digital Media is completely blocked out of 76 per cent of the locations owing to the exclusivity clauses contained in the Equipment Lease Agreements which have been executed between UFO Moviez and CTOs. The Opposite Parties, by way of technical overlay, have made it impossible for cinematograph films post-production processed by PF Digital Media to be displayed in these 1064 locations.
