I have been there a couple of times to watch movies. It is at the Express Avenue, 1 of the biggest mall in Chennai. The 3D is pretty cool here. The seats are very comfortable.

Good and neat theatre with real sound effects. The only thing is that they are not allowing outside food and we are forced to buy the costly food in the ESCAPE premises. Damn it. Shame on you (ESCAPE theatre management) all.

A good place to watch moves especially the newer screens with names other than Sathyam. Comfortable seats, good acoustics and some delicious eatables to make movie watching an experience and enjoyable

I generally don't prefer small theaters because i get the feeling of being cramped, but i didn't feel in such a manner here. The food is of the same quality as... More

Definitely a fun place to watch movies - great infrastructure, good comfy seats, clean (Seriously yes !), variety of snacks available (dont miss the cream filled donuts - they are super yum !!) and friendly staff ...
