I have watched many movies in multiplexes spread across different cities like Delhi’s PVR, Noida’s Waves, and Bangalore’s Inox, Innovative etc. However, my favorite is Sathyam multiplex in Chennai, located near to Mount Road. The difference lies in its simplicity though using latest technology in sound system, (RDX). Real Digital Experience or RDX together with DLP Cinema™ technology from Texas Instruments is for the first time in India to its Chennai complex.
Unlike other Multiplexes which believe in grandeur and lot of glitz, Sathyam is relatively simple from outside. However, once you enter inside, you feel like you are in a movie world with lots of posters of upcoming movies.
Sathyam has a total of six theaters named: Sathyam, Santham, Subham, Sree and Studio-5 and Six degrees which host an array of films in Tamil, English, Hindi and, occasionally, other south Indian languages. The sound system with picture quality is excellent and the sitting is comfortable with proper leg space. The crowd is mix of simple and hippest public of Chennai, with maximum rush observed during the evening and night show.
I would like to mention one thing that the show timing for movies are planned in such a way that people generally get the time of their choice, which I didn’t experienced in any other multiplex than Sathyam. One can also book the tickets online, with their choice of seating. The moviegoers can also mention their choice of seat while booking physically and most of the time it is accommodated. You can do that in Sathyam, through https://thecinema.in. Additional Rs.10 is charged for this. Not just this. There’s more you can also order your snacks, even at the time of booking. These food items will be delivered right at your seats, during the interval time. No need to wait in the Queue for that expensive pop-corn.
Sathyam launches many innovative schemes such as lucky draw for 3 seats in a screen that will get certain gifts such as Airtel Sim card, etc. Apart from this, they show trailers of new coming movies, which bind the audience to their seats. Not to forget the beautiful advertisement of Nalli saris and Gokul Jewelers, this makes the interval enjoyable also.
I have watched 5 movies in Sathyam till date, and had a good watching experience all the time.
At last, I would highly recommend this theatre for watching movies in Chennai, so next time you are traveling to Chennai and want to watch a movie, just go to Sathyam multiplex, you are most likely to get the movie of your choice.
The distance to Sathyam from Spencer Plaza is around 5 minutes from Auto Rickshaw and is close to Mount Road.
