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.
