And PVR Cinemas ruined the experience.

PVR has messed up PVR Naraina
PVR Naraina happens to be my favorite PVR… It is accessible. Tickets are easily available and the theater is not that shabby either. Rates are great for morning shows.
PVR has apparently now downgraded it. It used to get all the good movies that PVR had in its bouquet. Looks like it is now one of their low-class theaters. No Sex and the City and no Get Smart and no Persepolis.
Instead we get Dasavatharam and other crap stuff like Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic and Thodi Life Thoda Magic.
I have seen some of the most off-beat movies at this particular theater and I guess it no longer is going to be my choice of place to check out movies. :(
Update: It took PVR two days to reply with a computer generated message. Excellent.
Iron Man
Fantastic movie. I loved it. Robert Downey Jr. is just awesome as the latest superhero on the block. The movie seemed like a combination of Spiderman and Transformers. The storyline of the first Spiderman movie and the action sequences of the Transformers.
The fun moments were also there when the terrorists were speaking in Hindi language at the start of the film. Made no sense considering I do not expect people in Afghanistan to speak Hindi!
And as mentioned earlier, the movie has a small scene featuring Samuel L. Jackson after the credits. We were alone in the theater by the time that scene came on the screen. Luckily the PVR guys did not throw us out as the two guys there knew about the end scene and were ok with us waiting to check it out.
DT Cinemas would never allow that :D.
Forgot to add that the soundtrack of the movie is awesome.
Trip to PVR Naraina Today
No overcharging at parking. No forced coupons. Bad body checking. Bad soda based cold drink. Decent popcorn. Good movie. Period.
PVR Naraina Insanities
If the kid beggars were not a big problem in itself, PVR is trying to create an even bigger mess of its own.
They seem to have launched this offer where they are providing coupons to get a small cola with small popcorn for a discounted price of Rs. 50 along with the ticket.
Apparently the scheme is optional but the ticket dude was literally forcing down these combo packages to the customers buying the tickets.
He refused to give us the tickets without the stupid combo package. We complained to the manager at location and got the tickets without the coupons.
The security check is as irritating and intrusive as ever. I hear that the woman officer is worse when it comes to body checking.
I really wish that the staff at PVR theaters is sensitized. They are becoming a mess in literally every one of their halls.
Another thing… The parking ticket dude charged Rs 20 for the ticket which is worth Rs 10. I noticed the overcharged. He literally begged for the extra Rs 10. I was in a decent mood at that time so did not argue. It’s still much cheaper than parking in Gurgaon any day.
About the food… Pepsi tasted like shit today like it does on most other days. Popcorn were decent. Nachos are average. SRS has better qualtiy Nachos!
