The Story of Hyderabad’s 70mm IMAX Theatre
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- The city of Hyderabad was once home to one of the most prestigious giant screen experiences in the world - Prasads IMAX 70MM. Yet, in the last several years, it has not been showing movies in IMAX.
What happened? Why is Hyderabad one of the few cities in India to not even have a single IMAX theatre? The answer involves the evolution of the movie industries in the world, money and Government policies. In the third episode of the Lost Theatres of India series, we dive deep into Prasads IMAX, now Prasads Multiplex

Imagine a kid from Hyderabad, who was too young to understand Interstellar and didn't care about it because of some dumb exams. Later he grows up and discovers this gem of a film. He makes posters of that movie, stick them on his wall. He realizes that he should've watched it in a theatre, and he gets to know about IMAX, the theatre which is 20mins away from his home played the best version of it. Imagine the regret. Imagine being me.
I watched a stupid Telugu movie which I didn’t like instead of this masterpiece!! My uncle said let’s watch interstellar but my kid brain didn’t make right decision !!! I was 14 then so
It's ok bro. Even I did not watch any IMAX movie in prasads due to my fking age!
Hmm.. Nostalgic..I'm in a similar situation as you, missed it back then, Now i watch interstellar scenes almost every once in a week in my LG 4k oled TV & Bose 700 setup., and that Hans Zimmer's docking scene BGM., it just rocks...no words to explain..listened to it 1000s of times.. and i always keep wondering how the hell they made this master piece a decade ago.. Mr.Akkineni Ramesh Prasad had given a thought to give best movie experience to fellow Hyderabadis, sadly, things did not work out. Timing is important for any business to run. May be IMAX technology was too early to the game & for the people back then, who doesn't have much knowledge on best movie experiences. Even the economic status of the movie goers has been improved drastically.,Newer players PVR, Asian cinemas with depper pockets had given tough competition to IMAX. OTTs saga is is the last nail in the coffin
That is how life is, sometimes we dont take the right decisions, because we are afraid to take the bad ones. You missed that chance but you will soon find a better one.
Don‘t regret, you can watch older IMAX movies all across the globe and study well and earn, travel. I live in Germany and often I see older IMAX ads as some are rerun just for entertainment. For a movie presenter, they buy the IMAX movies for once and it‘s in their collection. Sometimes you can even book entire cinema hall for personal viewing with friends and family. That’s how we watch Bollywood or Telugu movies on weekends.
Videos like these is why I love RUclips. So informative and perfectly executed.
Well done. Best wishes to you.
🙏🙏
I still remember it was in the year 2011. I came for summer holidays to Hyderabad to my uncle’s place. since i was a movie buff since my childhood i asked my uncle to take me to prasads imax one weekend. One Saturday, we did go there and saw the showtimes of all the movies that played. I saw avatar playing there even after 4 years after being released. I think it must’ve been re-released at that point or maybe they’ve chosen to play it. I was damn excited to go watch it for the first time. Also i didn’t have the habit of watching english movies in theatre till 2013 so i was very curious about the experience. Sadly, there was no show playing at that time for avatar in the imax screen on that particular day and then we saw Mr. Perfect playing at that time, so we chose to watch that instead, and then i never visited to prasads later. That was my first and last experience of visiting prasads. Later after 12 years i came back to watch interstellar on the pcx screen which was too good, but i only wish what if i had seen avatar during that time of the trip.😢
Really cool to see high quality video essays made about local topics. As someone that goes to Prasads for pretty much any movie, this answers alot of questions lol
While I watched Spider-Man in IMAX screen as a school kid, I understood about the screen only bit later. After finishing all my 12th exams, I remember going for a late night 11pm show with my dad to rewatch The Dark Knight in IMAX screen, only to find out it was sold out. We went again after few weeks and did enjoy the masterpiece. I later watched interstellar in Pune FDFS, but after getting to know about last projection of imax format of the film, I travelled back and rewatched the film again. Good old days when film was everything to me. As with how Prasad’s moved on from imax, even I’m at a stage where doing things for profitability is what is valued.
Bro I have never ever watched any movie or visted Prasad ever, but after watching your video I felt like I can relate to it what ever you mentioned about Prasad.
Hatsoff to Prasad, I hope Prasad plants to invest in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai where I live.Dear PRASAD TEAM if you are reading this YOU ARE LEDGEND FOR CINEMA LOVERS IN REAL !
Love u prasds i have soo many childhood memories with it wish they'll come back with imax again
i had the same questions, why was it changed to multiplex, why they got rid of "Imax" partnership? Thanks for covering everything!
Love your videos. Cheers!
So prasad is no more imax????
film is the best!
When Avatar released, I took an overnight train from Bangalore to watch the movie and return immediately after the movie. Had tweeted to them when tickets were not available. Bought a ticket from black. Then the manager called me to his office, told they have blocked the best centre seat for me for taking the effort to watch the movie, gave me a free ticket which included coke and popcorn.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this story!!
Time flies so fast
for Avatar 2 I went to Bangalore to watch the movie in IMAX...Sad to see no IMAX for hyderabadi movie & IMAX lovers 😢
Me too Sir
@@KDCloudy bro I am a movie lover And I have been writing stories for 3 years..and I want to talk to you about this matter..
Please reply...
Was the name of the manager Mr.Madhukar
I was a student (so naturally I was broke 😂) in Pune when Interstellar released. I boarded the train for Hyderabad in a general compartment, I sat on the floor for the whole night and reached Hyderabad in the morning just to watch the FIRST DAY FIRST SHOW of Interstellar, in 70MM Analog, the way it was meant to be watched and the last of its kind cinematic experience; at Prasads IMAX! i was just mesmerized by the experience, so much so that I ended up watching back to back shows. Thank you so much Prasads IMAX for providing once in a lifetime experience and Thank you so much for making this video!!! ❤
You are awesome 🙏🏻
@@Shillmestonks Thank youuu 🙏
Not 70mm, but IMAX is in Pune now! There's one at Westend Mall in Aundh, and one more in Pimpri-Chinchwad at the new Phoenix Mall, where I watched Dune 2. Really fun, but I'm jealous of you getting to watch it in 70 mil.
As a 13yr old kid i saw Under the Sea IMAX 3D and eventually Avatar 1 at Prasads IMAX. Our family travelled from VIsakhapatnam to Hyderabad just for watching the movies as my father felt like showing us the experience. He avidly watched all forms of content all across the India and globally. He read about IMAX experience for years before taking us to the IMAX. Boy oh boy, it was really worth it and I still didn‘t get to relive the experience of IMAX even though I stay in Germany now. Travel, hotel and planning is too costly. Upwards of 150€ would be current day price for that similar IMAX experience that my dad did for me as a child.
I remember going to Prasad's IMAX in 2011 and 12 to watch RaOne and then Ek Tha Tiger among other movies and the experience was just phenomenal. Glad to finally learn about it's epic story!
those weren't shot in IMAX
I was so damn lucky to watch Man of steel , Pacific Rim and Interstellar in Prasads IMAX. a lifetime experience.
Envy!
Pacific rim damn😮
@@lordchadwickedwardsiii4093 yeah. i still remember, seeing kaiju fighting scenes gave me so scary feel i got some chest pain, so freaking huge and lifelike .
Damn bro MOS in imax 😵💫. I thought I was lucky enough to watch it in theatre, now there you are!
who knew buddy..pure luck
Prasad’s IMAX holds a special place in my heart. I’ve lost count of the movies I’ve seen here. It was just 10min away from my home, made it all more possible every time I feel like going. This IMAX was a good 15yrs part of my life, kinda pilgrimage at a point. I used to start saving a couple of weeks a head every time a big release was up. I used to skip school, college, and plans with friends who lived far and cannot make it to Prasad's only to have the best cinematic experience. Sadly the 70mm IMAX projector had to be decommission and not that long after I graduated and relocated. Having lived in Delhi and Mumbai I can say Prasad's IMAX was my fav experience. I aways assumed it was lack of audience due to high fares that let to it. Good to know it was an age old govt policy and not the Hyderabadi cinephiles like me. I wish the policy changes in the near future and Prasads restores the best IMAX experience in the country. Where ever I might be living then, I will come back just to relive that experience once again 🎥🍿✨
The DEFINITIVE video that we were all waiting for! So well researched and well made, got to know a few things I didn't know before as well. Thank you KD for making it and I'm privileged to have a small part in it too 😀
Thank you for being part of it!!
hi karthik didnt expect you in the video but this was a delightful surprise this is Chetan btw not sure if you remember me
So the first movie which I watched in Prasads Imax is "Interstellar". The Jupiter scene was out of this world. Literally. I would pay any amount to rewatch it in the same theatre.
It's Saturn, not Jupiter
Randomly RUclips decided to show this on my feed and it was great! This was a really good and well rounded video essay. Great job buddy.

Agreed! As it was written!

The Mahdi is too humble to say that he is the Mahdi!
Silence !!!
I saw dark knight, dark knight rises, Interstellar so many times paying 250 each time. I can't forget how beautiful the experience was. I have been to imax screens in US in New York, miami, Charlotte, Dallas but the immersive experience of prasads didn't match any. The scene in Interstellar where the docking failed and stunning silence appeared. WOW. Still sends shivers today as well. Thanks to prasads and Christopher Nolan for this experience. I am from UP but a Hyderabadi at heart.
Also thank you for the video. I still don't understand why many people don't talk about Prasads on TV or in general.
By the time I understand about IMAX projection and enjoy it, IMAX moved out of Hyderabad. Luxury comes with a price , people and government should understand this. And espescially for IMAX movies people won't visit repeatedly and experiencing this stuff with that price tag is not less. A person may go to IMAX movies once or twice in a year so for once or twice we can afford that price. IMAX moved out when I was in BTech and by the time I started earning imax isn't there..... My first movie in large screen was Bahubali 2. Ofcourse it wasn't IMAX but that screen itself gave goosebumps. On that day I imagined how interstellar might have looked on this Magnum opus screen. I'm such a movie, Recently there was a reel about sphere theatre in Las Vegas. That reel made me to have a goal to visit Las Vegas 😂😂😂😂.....
Damn dude with every episode I just love you more and more.
How the heck did you manage to dig those old newspaper ads, that 2014 BMS booking page screenshot and stuff? Just how dude?
Thank you bro! Loads of research! You’ll be amazed to see what’s left for posterity
@@KDCloudy I will be there no matter what haha

Enjoy
Not even from Hyd or a big movie geek, but the presentation kept me so hooked. Absolutely terrific work
Easily the best video I have seen so far about Prasads!!!
One day it has to return there's no other option.
Edit: what did prasads management talk about Wadala Imax return. Hmm only hurdle now is government hike
I still cannot forget the amazing Spider-Man climax and Interstellar docking scene in IMAX..I watched these 2 movies 3-4 times just for IMAX..I was in college at that time so had to save and lend money from friends..... recently I've been to banglore and Delhi IMAX..spent thousands on ticket...but those are pathetic... Hyderabad's single screens are more superior than that ...
That was all so interesting KD. It's such a pleasure to listen to a true enthusiast, but one who is so knowledgeable as well. You clearly take a lot of time and put in much work with your videos. I'd like to see a movie on that huge screen even if they can't project film any longer. Perhaps standard 70mm might be an option one day though... you never know. John.
Just a shame that the petty govt policies killed off the aura of such a gem of an auditorium.
I deem myself lucky that my school used to take us on frequent movie days to Prasad’s IMAX. The first ever 3d film I’ve ever watched was The polar express in 2004 at Prasad’s IMAX, imagine the standard it would’ve set for a young 6 year old boy. Thereafter I watched multiple movies like space station 2, batman dark night rises and Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix to name a few in IMAX presentations during my school days. I dearly miss the IMAX presentation whenever I watch a film at Prasad’s now , it definitely holds a special place in my memory. Thank you for this documentary ❤.
Which was this school….?

This is my first time seeing your video and it was an absolute joy, you have done an extremely well done job. Cheers brother.
Great video and commentary. Like many others, I grew up watching a movie at Prasads Multiplex almost every weekend in the late 2000s/early 2010s. The IMAX opening countdown at the start of every screening is one of the most nostalgic parts of the cinema experience for me to date. I remember skimming through the Eenadu newspaper for showtimes each week before bookmyshow came about. 14-year-old me was hugely disappointed with Prasads' decision to stop screening IMAX format movies back then. One of my biggest regrets to date is not watching Inception and Interstellar in IMAX when I could. Thanks to this video, I now have some closure by understanding what actually happened. It is quite ironic that legislation that once favoured the consumer ended up having the opposite effect when outdated. Oh well, we enjoyed it while it lasted. Keep up the great content!
As much I want to see an actual IMAX again in Hyderabad, I think capping the ticket prices is the best policy a govt. laid out, it makes movies accessible to a lot more people. Staying in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, going to a cinema is way too expensive.
Maybe the govt. could amend policy or offer subsidies to bring IMAX back again.
3:39 Amrutham screenshot 😂😂❣
wait somebody explain what does it mean
@@KDCloudy it's a screenshot from an old Telugu sitcom Amrutham. In that episode, they were promoting their hotel business on the Prasad's building
@@KDCloudy but in your excel sheet you mentioned different dimension for pcx. Can you check. Agree with cost to maintain made them to downgrade. But Prasads have chance to be imax not pcx, not just bcz of price policy it is losing this opprotunity. There were days where ticket prices were high and people were ready to pay for that too. Now, slowly the multiplexes started raising prices and people are also able to pay n watch. so, prasads can go for upgrde.
ela kanapadindhi bayya, naku pause chesina teliyaledhu 😄
@@hehehmm8650legendary* telugu sitcom. It is a timeless masterpiece
My last movie on Prasad's big screen was Oppenheimer and the experience was meh! I was very fortunate enough to watch Avatar (3 times), Pacific Rim, The Hobbit (2 times), and Interstellar (3 times) on IMAX in its glory days, it was an experience that can't be put into words. Felt so fucking sad at the end of each show of Interstellar knowing that it was the last true IMAX presentation in Prasads. I hope the government makes amendments just for IMAX presentation prices making it a win-win for movie buffs and IMAX both. Also, great video brother well researched and presented you've earned yourself a subscriber.
Thanks a lot bro, for bringing this up. I felt absolutely emotional watching this entire video. 😢
All this while I was blaming the management for taking away IMAX 70mm and not even compensating with IMAX digital. Sad that the TS & AP price control is behind this sorry state of IMAX and many other movie theaters!!
I hope the IMAX analog makes a comeback!!
I totally agree with you about everything mentioned in this video as a Hyderabadi!!! "Prasads IMAX is an emotion"
A big thank you from all the Hyderabadi's for making this video. And mark my words this video will be a GEM 💎
I'm 16, and I regret so badly that I wasn't born in the golden era of IMAX 70mm.
I still wish anyone out there will come up with a 70mm IMAX theatre and I hope that we all get to experience that mind blowing forgotten era in India.
You can still watch IMAX in Bangalore, Delhi etc
Yaaa I have watched in sakets IMAX,delhi
I remember watching Polar Express, Harry Potter, Avatar, Interstellar, Pacific Rim in iMax.... I miss it these days.!!! 😞😞😞
Ah. Thanks for bringing those memories back ! Newspaper ads from Deccan Chronicle about IMAX movies at Prasad's ❤
With that interior structure - glass and steel poles.. it almost felt like a secret NASA center whenever i visited the screening of Interstellar there😂
11k equivalent projection of Wormhole and Gargantua scenes blew our minds .
First taste of it was during Inception tho.
I share this frustration with my fellow Hyderabadis. I feel sad whenever i read news about IMAX opening in other cities. I just read a news about Miraj opening new IMAX in Jodhpur
edho oka roju hyderabad ki IMAX vasthadi bhairavaa.... vasthadi.
This was quite a gem of a documentary about this epic location. Thank you for doing this
Not watching INTERSTELLAR (my #1 movie to this date) in a theatre is one of the biggest regret of my entire life😭.
I got to know about it because of the buzz it created in theatres. I was 14 then, watching it on a TV blew my mind, imagine my regret 🫠
Being someone who’s born and brought up in Hyderabad, this video moved my heart! Thank you so so much brother. Though most people in Hyderabad know this story till the interstellar part, thanks the consequences and implications after that. And the ticket pricing policies, I agree it’s a very thin profit margin but we should also agree that it plays a huge role in the theatre celebrations and cinema culture of Hyderabad, Hyderabad people watch so many movies in theatres not only because it’s a part of our day to day lives but also because it doesn’t require too much effort from the pockets.
Best of luck for your channel Brother!
Prasads screen 6 has the best viewing angle in the country.The other 5 screens are far bigger and better angled than any pvr/inox in the city. Prasads is the closest single screen experience you can get in a multiplex without doubt.
Regarding the price cap, godzilla vs kong is running currently for 400rs. So, maybe in the future, the cap might increase or the govt could make an exception for this format. Especially considering Hyderabad will be the epicenter for ss rajamouli's next with mahesh babu. But someone must appeal. Someone from the filmmakers. Who better than rajamouli again.
I always wanted to know what happened about the Prasad's IMAX and even searched it online and couldn't find much about it. when I saw your thumbnail, I immediately clicked on it and you were really informative about the topic. Kudos to you bro
This is such an emotional piece of content. This is why I love youtube, and pay for internet. Being a Hyderabadi movie buff, watching someone understand what actually happened and explain it to rest of the country. Wow, amazing stuff. Please keep making great content. Subscribed!
I got really into the IMAX craze while researching it before Oppenheimer, and boy was I heartbroken to find out all this. Now you gotta leave the country to experience real IMAX. It's a shame, really. People don't appreciate fine things, they prefer it cheap. And when they start realising what they're missing out on, it's too late.
Being a big time movie lover I’m really happy I came your channel and I must say that I loved the video. Last year I was in the US and fortunately I got the opportunity to watch Oppenheimer in a 70mm IMAX Screen with the og analog projector and I must say it was something so special that I would never forget in life! I wish we had such screens here as well
The amount of nostalgia in this video just brought tears to my eyes. Time flies man. Are we really in 2024?
Still remember my first Christopher nolan movie, batman begins that i saw in Prasads. Unfortunately i didn't know enough about the significance of the screen or the technicalities of the movie back then. It's been 15 years since I left hyderabad for higher education and work, but one memory that I still cherish is the occasional bus ride to spend my saved up pocket money on some really good cinema
This is a very well documented video, Kaustubh... I loved all the aspects, starting from how it begins, how the movies were celebrated, how the interest diminished... I still regret the fact that i missed Interstellar back in 2014..😢 Nevertheless, am glad you've chosen to do this series and covered it so wonderfully!! I can't imagine any other collaborations, other than Karthik Abhiram!! His explanation about his experience is on point!! Definitely a wonderful watch ✨
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it 🙏
Some of the gems I experienced at Prasad’s IMAX that I can never forget:
Dark Knight
Dark Knight Rises
Spider-Man 2 and 3
Transformers 2 and 3
Interstellar
Inception
Pacific Rim
Harry Potter 3,4,5,6,7
I may not have fully realised how special this screen was when I watched it, but only realised its speciality after they removed IMAX.
These government policies are not applied now....they charge a hell more now for new movies in normal multiplexes.
I watched every single IMAX movie that they came out with. Watching the harry potter films on the big screen, was a great experience. Harry potter 4, Avatar, Dark knight and Inception were so good that I kept recollecting and imagining being in those worlds for weeks after seeing the movie.
I live about 5 mins away from theatre and the large screen experience just makes it so memorable that i'm sure ill never be able to experience that anywhere else in India.
Very well researched. I watched Interstellar in Imax and used to live in Hyderabad during those days. This video and the whole time frame brought back a lot many memories. Thanks for making it! Kudos 👍🏻
I was lucky enough to watch proper IMAX film in Prasad's back in 2012. Dark knight rises, Skyfall and Hobbit.
Nothing ever matched the experience again.
When I was a kid , I went to see the dark knight in prasads IMAX , but I slept in first 10 minutes😢. After growing up I saw the dark knight again , now it my favorite movie 🎉.
Good old days ...seeing batman triology , interstellar , Mi4 - burj scene, and ultimate 3d - Avatar !! Recently Paid 400 for godzilla vs kong ...but missed the imax feel
Awesome man! Really heartfelt at the end there.. I still reminisce about watching Pacific Rim in IMAX and been blown away by the scale.. no mater how many IMAX’s and Large Screen I see movies at, I still imagine how it would have been in Prasad’s IMAX!
Good evening everyone
Just yesterday i went to Prasad's along with my friend and mentioned to him that its been really long since i saw a movie in I MAX and he said to me that its no more and I really felt that i lost something and deep down i had a sense of sorrow it was like all my memories were coming back to me and I realised how i took it for granted that Prasad's would continue to show movies on IMAX and immediately came back and searched on Google as to why and when did this happen ...to my horror i realised that i really haven't been around Hyderabad for long ....though i was brought up in Hyderabad .... work took me everywhere in India and i could sense that things have changed ......now after watching this video i am surely going to Godzilla vs Kong movie slated for day after tomorrow ........anyone willing please don't miss this opportunity atleast .....
I've watched Superman returns in this screen , I don't even know anything about screens and theatre's at that age . It was the first and best experience for me . Unfortunately the last experience of it. ❤
Prasads Muliplex >>>>>> AMB, AAA, PVR, INOX, CINEPOLIS etc Multiplexes...(I say in INDIA)
Missing that experience😢, as i am staying in Bengaluru🤷♂️
Gentleman... respect and take a bow for your presentation and story boarding. Your entire crew, researchers, camera person, editing and the entire team of your which made this happen. Truly enjoyed the iMax when it was there Spiderman specially (seen all 4 shows in single day standing in queue taking tickets, much before Bookmy show days) Like you said, respect past and enjoy the present. Who know what is in future may be IMAX will happen again some years later.
I think prasad should bring back old hollywood classics 70mm prints out of their archieves such as ' dark knight, interstellar etc' i think alot of young folks dont know what actually celluiod experience means, they just use to watching movies on a small multiplex screen in digital format thinking thats movie experence 😂 i am ready to play 1000 rs per picket tbh
Lived in Hyderabad between 2007-2009. I think I saw jaane tu yaan jaane na there. Good memories of the theater and the city.
Brother, Kudos to you for all the effort you took to make this informative video. Thank you. But you should have also covered their pathetic situation about vehicle parking. They have a very limited space in the cellar and the rest of the vehicles are thrown under the hot sun even though the outsourced people charge 30 and 50 bucks for bikes and cars respectively.!!!
I watched Pacific Rim 3 timeson this screen. Used to travel from tarnaka and would book tickets only at IMAX. I used to think all movies playing here would be IMAX films and was so disappointed when i watched 2014 Godzilla. It did not cover the full screen and i felt betrayed.😅
Watching Dark knight, Pacific Rim, Star trek, The Dark Knight rises, Avatar and Interstellar on this screen were the best movie experiences in my life.
Thanks for this video.
Good documentary. I was confused why there is no IMAX when I moved to Hyderabad in Dec 2022. Though I heard about it long time back when even when I was staying in Gujarat. Finally got to know the story behind absense of IMAX in Hyd.
i watched interstellar in prasads IMAX , i was 12 at that time , i barely remember but still it was very good experience😭😭
The place where highest movie lover in india or may be in world but now suffering for getting one imax screen
very pity thing
I've seen *The Dark knight Rises* and *Interstellar* here when I was 8 years old. Obviously didn't understand the movie very well but I still remember the experience and the crazy sound and picture experience till date. If I'm not wrong they are rented the IMAX projector and it uses 24 channel surround sound.
I have watched Oppenheimer recently which is released in Prasad's multiplex big screen firstly i have experienced a next level version of Oppenheimer pcx 4k dual projection with 7.1 dolby atmos was really good still i didn't get any disappointment by the 4k project still its the best and when i came out of the theatre i just thought that what would be if it was imax theatre but still respect the Prasad's for getting that type of experience to the people because of few issues with the policies but still its the best.
Love to watch a movie again.
If there is an other chance i would like to have the opportunity to watch a movie in prasads imax.
I was 13 when the imax when it was renovated didn't know about this amazing gem.
I went from Trivandrum to Prasad IMAX at Hyd, just to watch “Pacific Rim”. It was such a great immersive experience!! It was my first IMAX experience ever!
I remember watching almost all Harry Potter films in IMAX
hey man, what an amazing insight into prasads imax in hyd. definitely not a sensitive topic and it sure as hell ain't politics to talk about ridiculous and downright idiotic govt policy formed by some braindead 'baabu'. it's in the public interest after all and exceptions can always be made (thats where lobbying comes in 😉). in fact it requires some public pressure.
Bro Please Have A Review On PVR Vegas Kotak IMAX Dwarka, Also tell which screen is the largest in comparison to Priya IMAX
Man I used to travel from Delhi and later Bangalore for Prasad’s IMAX back in 2010s Tron was my first movie Awesome
Very well produced video, my country (South Africa) had a dedicated 70mm IMAX building in Cape Town, but it was closed down before i ever got to see a movie there. Best i have at the moment is imax single laser (still amazing)
Damn. I thought India is the only one. Thanks for sharing this tidbit!
Anytime mate, I tried to dig up some more info about it but I couldn't. Just that it was in the same area as the current imax laser and was owned by one guy. I really hope he get a dual laser 1.43 : 1 screen in the future
All those movies you mentioned were my entire childhood in that IMAX screen. I went through all the memories, remembering all those moments waiting in line at the box office, running around the arcade, spending an entire Sunday there with family, Good times. Thank you for the video.
As a child I wasn't much aware of movies, but now I regret not watching Interstellar at IMAX.
I know this is recommended to me cuz im a hyderabadi... and im not complaining. Absolutely loved this video.
I found my many answers😊😊.
Does anybody else find a blur white spot in the corner when you wear those 3d glasses here? I saw couple of movies and changed glasses as well, but still find that blurry white patch on the left bottom corner of the glass.
Another great feature about prasads multiplex, is the seating arrangement, no other theatre that I have visited has such a step wise seating arrangement,where there is no hindrance to your eye level, the person sitting in front of you cannot cause any issue to your movie experience. Definetly the best theatre!
such a loss that they couldn't have kept the 1570 projector and 1.43 screen, and then replace the Barco projectors with the IMAX one whenever movies like Oppenheimer comes around. anyways, yet another splendid video, brother 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼👌🏼💫
Thanks bro! Glad you like it
My first movie in IMAX: The Polar Express
My last movie in IMAX: Interstellar
😍
This should be played in PCX
Islamisation of imax
There are more Telugu or Hindi speakers in Telangana then Urdu speakers
Then also they choose to write in Urdu appeasement politics
Saw interstellar first day morning show and the experience was unforgettable.from Everest to interstellar I had many memories with imax .
Feeling bad that born and brought up in hyderabad only watched one single movie in Imax that is journey to the center of earth 😢
Avatar 3D on Prasads IMAX was the best cinematic experience in my life!
My father took us to this theatre over 18 years ago when I was a school kid. I still remember watching a documentary called "Serengiti" and was blown away by the screen size. My dad wanted us to experience "the largest screen in India".
As luck would have it, I was put up in Hyderabad when Avatar released and boy I loved that movie on this screen!
However I am sad that Hyderabadis are missing out on IMAX on this large screen. Coming out of watching Godzilla X Kong in IMAX 3D yesterday, I can tell you the IMAX experience is worth every rupee. Wish govt. did something about it.
I still can’t forget that experience..watched interstellar for around 3 times, every time equally amazed ❤
