Let the show begin…

The best of the dress was pulled out, the enthusiasm generally spilled over...after all it was watching movie in that special box was nothing short of a privilege. It was long time back, till multiplexes translated the whole experience in a gold, silver and bronze experience, each of course available at a cost.

And now, going a step further is this new concept started by North Country Mall where you can relive, enjoy the privileged experience yet again. This is how it goes- North Country Mall makes available two special audis, a 22 and 26 seater, which can be booked exclusively for a family or friends. 

Does also means, if your friends are pestering for a birthday treat, and you want to give them something different, you can book a complete audi all to yourself and treat the gang to a special screening. Muneet Kumar cinema manager, North Country Mall gives a low down on how this different concept works. “In these two audis, which are normally booked by a family or group of friends, exclusive screening of films takes place. 360 recliner chairs, a special menu that boasts of Indian, continental and Chinese food is in the offing.” All the chairs, come with a button which when pressed brings an usher to your service, who takes the orders for food and ensures you enjoy the movie without any problem. 

Do you feel, you are flying in the first class of an airline! Well, you can because this is something like this only. Also Muneet adds, “If people want to see their wedding or reception party video that can also be screened, apart from of course the movies.” 

This Gold class special service available here comes at a price that is Rs 600-700 per seat (exclusive food) which includes welcome drink, blanket and a water bottle.

Experience redefined 

Sounds like a new party destination, as Santokh Singh Dhingra, a businessman from Phagwara brought his  family to watch Dil Dhadakne Do. “I thought of taking them out for dinner.  Then my co-partner presented this option. My daughter is married to a man who stays in New Virginia, and it was like a treat to his entire extended family.” 

This isn’t just a place for family members; you can also keep it as a birthday or even break-up treat option. Actor Manpreet Jalwa who is acting in upcoming Hindi film Haar Aur Haar sees movie-watching as an experience in itself. “It is no longer about taking a ticket in the lower row or booking corner seats, getting up in the interval to grab a packet of popcorns and pepsi. Look at the whole thing about cinemas now. Hundred options for eating, luxury seats and a lot more. On top of that an experience like special audi, after all this kind of a thing is like a perk in life.” In Ludhiana, similar trend is catching up. Recently, a movie buff booked an  audi for the special screening of Chaar Sahibzaade. The popular malls, MBD and Westend are offering this service. So, now you know where can you take your friends and family out for your next birthday or celebration.
