My previous review on E-Square would prove that its my one of the most favorite place to be by when it comes to watching the movie. Because being there is just not watching movies but always something more.
But what if the movie that I have to see is not available at E-Square? Then my second best choiceis Inox. When it comes to watch a movie with a tremendously great sound effects and the best ambience then absolutely nothing beats this place.
The multiplex that I am speaking about is located in the heart of the city. Its near Bund Garden and almost on a walking distance from Pune railway station.
Let me walk you through this beautiful multiplex:
As soon as you reach at the venue the blue colored security people will make you to open the boot of the car and would want you to step out of the car so that a proper security check is performed. Then, at the parking level they have this interesting thing of collecting a free 30 minute parking ticket. This is cool feature of this place. They have McDonalds/Barista etc food courts and if in case you have just come to have a juicy burger and would leave in around 30 minutes, then the parking is free or else just pay Rs.20 (its Rs.40 for a car @ E-squareand this amount is too much)
Collecting your tickets for the movie is a breeze now. They have installed kiosks wherein you can swipe your credit cards and get your tickets instantly.
The multiplex has four auditoriums and they are bigger in sequential order. The first two halls are on the first floor and the remaining are on the second level. Each auditorium is well equipped with great seating and world class audio system. The ambience is just excellent and very classy.
The staff is very cordial and alert. The items like Samosa, Nachos, popcorn, sandwiches, French fries, crazy corn etc are very tasty and appear to be made with hygiene.
Apart from just watching movies, you can shop too. There is Pantaloon shopping mall right through the entrance. It is well equipped with some good brands and some classy variety too. Adjacent to the mall is Barista (on the right hand side) and McDonalds outlet (at the left of the mall) On the left hand side of the entrance just after climbing the stairs you will find some snooker boards and some video games for amusement.
In all in all I like this place when it comes to hygiene and class. To put it in words, I can compare E-square to Inox in like Line and Honda City! Both are good cars with different perspectives and targets different mindsets.
Now comes the part where in Inox lags behind. The tickets at Inox are on the costlier side and sometimes drill holes in pockets when with a family. Rightly so as they target certain crowd and maintain that standard.Another issue is that sometimes they don’t have certain shows parallel with the remaining halls in the city. That sometimes they just don’t run a particular movie at all. The shows are few and timings are odd. Again, they play some shows that are never there in any hall in the entire city - LOL.
So the final verdict is I love E-square and prefer Inox for certain movies. Say 3 idiots at the former and Inception at the later.
INOX Live the movie........Indeed!
