Going to the movies

Movie theatres in b-lore are grande affairs.

Anu and I went to see 'Rang de Basanti' at the PVR cinemas at the Forum mall. Tickets can be booked by phone and picked up an hour before the movie starts. The online ticketing hasn't caught on yet. Last Friday, I saw 'Da Vinci code' at the same theater.

The multiplexes are coming up everywhere. There aren't as many seats as traditional theaters - multiplexes have 500 seats are so. The tickets cost between Rs 150 - 500 depending on the class. For Rs. 500 at the PVR cinemas, you can watch movies in full recliner couches, with food served during the show -- a 'royal' experience.
