Multiple screens<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Multiple screens theatres actually are primitive multiplexes which are far different from the current malls. These theatres are largely compartmented. The theatre has 4- screens. Each screen is a separate division, a separate theatre in itself, with its own entrance gates, cafeteria etc. A multiple screen theatre is more like an amalgamation of three- four single screen theatres into one building. However, they arent built in a shopping mall; neither do they have a very sleek ambience.<BR><BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>What made these places unique in the late 80s was the concept of multiple screens which offered the facility to choose the movie one wanted to watch. All flicks released that week and prior, play at the same place. Although, today it might not seem to be a big deal, few years back it was revolutionary. One realizes their importance only when - out of your extremely busy schedule, you manage to get an evening off to catch a good film with your family. You are all excited about the long awaited family outing but on reaching the theatre you learn that either the tickets are sold out at the single screen or the theatre changed the film yesterday to a sleazy sex comedy, which you definitely cant watch with family. The flick you came to watch is now playing at another theatre. The show there is at 6 pm, the theatre is 10 miles and your watch already shows 5:55pm. Scary? Multiple screens therefore, act as a savior in such situations. <BR><BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Although their facilities arent out of the world, the multiple screens even today manage to pull masses mainly due to their affordable rates. From inside, they are very similar to single screens. So, well describe Multiple screens together in the next subgroup, Single screens. <BR><BR> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Ticket rates: ranging from Rs. 80 to Rs. 150 (depends upon the movie)
