My funny experience(s) at PVR-Phoenix cinema, Mumbai

This was awesome! Didn't expect this from PVR. Just proves that you may do all the possible branding you want, charge exorbitant prices, have some fancy logo and corporate-types running your company, and still be unprofessional!

@Sam- If I was there, I'd do exactly what you did...

Maybe that's why I should stick to my faves- Sterling, or the cheaper (morning) shows at Inox NP.

Lovely narration. I was in splits.

As for the pricing - it varies across halls. Gurgaon morning shows (pre 2pm I think) are like 75/100 bucks (earlier were 50 bucks!) at two different mall halls

Lol, another one.

Imagine the man with mop seeing a rel of dumbledore all of a sudden.

More like Hagrid

lol!! sam!! that was hilarious to the core.
Loved the narration.I wonder why you have to suffer always to make us laugh

I dont know why PVR has such differential pricing for different movies. Here in Hyderabad its 100/- for all class all movies and the experience here is top class. I would rate them better than INOX and BIG Cinemas here in hyderabad and the best part - the parking is free at Hyderabad Central

We watched harry potter on the 3D screen here though. Loved the experience.

@ Sam,

Your pauses between stories and posts are quite long like our former PM, Atalji used to take. In a span of 24 hours, we expect you to spend 30 minutes after every 2 hours writing here.

What say, team BHPians?

HAHA,

Sam is still follower of Atalji in case of taking pauses.
