PVR | Be there

Well, at last its here in Chennai after such a long time. It's quite weird as how long it took for them to start screening in one of the metropolitans whereas they have screens in almost all of the prominent cities around the country. Well, am not complaining, better late than never.
We now have a nice alternative to the biggies of Chennai (Sathyam and Inox). So coming back to the question 'Does it live upto its biggest competitors?'. I would say, Yes it does, at last it appears to do so at the first look.
Location: It's a 7 screen multiplex located at a pretty nice spot, the Skywalk mall in Aminjikarai. Its easily accessible from Annanagar, Shenoynagar, MMDA, Valluvar kottam n many other residential/commercial places.
Picture/Sound: The picture quality of the screen was very good. The screen seemed little smaller compared to others. But the auditoriums are somewhat small and you cant have screens any bigger. Sound was pretty good too. The surround effect was predominant. Ppl actually turned back a couple of times hearing music at the background :)
Ambiance/Seating: The trademark red provides a nice ambiance to the movie hall. The seats are well-cushioned and all have nice push-backs. The leg space is just enough (could been a little wider for people have grown a little more than the normal like me ;)
To improve: One worrying thing would the pagal kollai at the parking lot. Usually malls that have movie screens charge a different flat rate for movie goers. But, here they charge on a hourly basis and I had to shell out 30 bucks for a 2-wheeler parking. That's 25% of the movie ticket cost. Too bad. Hope they do something about it.
Also they don't have the Gold class tickets, as TN govt has a cap of Rs. 120 as a max for movie tickets. So we Chennaites may not get a chance to check that out at all.

Overall, it was fine movie watching experience for me at the PVR and I would say that the PVR is here to stay.
