Review:
When
I was in Mumbai in 1997, I used to frequent the suburb
beauties like Movie Time, Cine Magic etc to have the
theatre experience and used to wonder when AP is going
to have theatres like that. Watching good films like
Titanic, Kuch Kuch Hota Hain, Satya is like a treat
to eyes and ears in those theatres.
Recently
when I visited the Hitech theatre in Hyderabad, I found
it to be a better theatre than Movie Time and Cine Magic.
Hitech theatre that is situated in Madhapur, Hyderabad.
It is ideally situated in a place, which is near to
the Andhra Silicon Valley Hitech City and the posh localities
of Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills. The management's
target is to serve more comfort at an extra cost.
This
is a kind of mini theater having a capacity of 463.
There are 13 exclusive seats in the balcony that are
priced at Rs 75/-. These seats are created for the purpose
of the safety for the movie heroes and other glitterati
that come to theatre to watch films. There are another
350 deluxe seats that are priced at Rs 50/- each. The
most interesting aspect of this section is the legroom
they provide. There is ample leg space of 4 and half
feat between the rows and of course all the seats do
have a holder to keep the soft drinks.
Talking
to idlebrain.com, BN Hari Krishna Rao, the manager expressed
his satisfaction over the crowds the hall is pulling.
Surprisingly, this theater gets maximum feeding for
the second show slated at 9 pm. In general, other theaters
get maximum feeding for matinees. He feels that the
Jubilee hills crowd wants to chill out by watching films
in the late night. The ground floor of this 1700 square
feet theater serves as the parking lot. And they observe
around 60 cars for the second show.
This
theatre was opened with Nuvve Kavali on 6th of April.
And the film Kushi is getting exhibited in this theater
for third week now. This theater is the best one in
AP, only if you can afford Rs 75/- for the car parking,
Rs 48/- for the microwave popcorn and Rs 50/- for the
ticket.
