  • 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.

      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

      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.

    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.

    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!!! ❤

    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 🎥🍿✨

    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 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.

    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 ❤.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

Countless days spend hanging around with friends. I still have the fondest memories of watching movies on the IMAX screen in the original format. I still regret not being able to watch Interstellar on it....and in a way, Prasads had its own role into making me the cinephile I am today. It still hurts to feel that IMAX doesnt exist anymore in Prasads. I still wait for the day it comes back.

    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.😢

Now, slowly the multiplexes started raising prices and people are also able to pay n watch. so, prasads can go for upgrde.

    What a fantastic topic and channel! I vividly remember watching my first imax movie at Prasads. I came to Hyderabad for my CAT interviews and on my way to the hotel I saw 'Prasads Imax'. Immediately after my interview I ran to Prasads and wow...was it an experience! You just reinvigorated all those memories.

    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.

    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

    I am soo glad i went to see interstellar in imax with my friends, (we went to take our dental degree certificates ) and i literally forced my friends to watch it,,,my god!! It was an unbelievable experience, that crop scene, wave scene, 2nd planet they visited and accident scene and at last final scene,,, All were soo amazing to watch and when i came out of theatre, i distinctly remembered like i went to whole another planet and came back
    Regretting not to watch multiple times but glad i saw atleast one time

Me and my friends still go to Prasads to watch movies or to go for bowling. Thanks for this video man! You got a subscriber!❤

    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 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 ✨

    Prasads is brilliant in every aspect.
    It's hard to digest that Prasads is no much longer attached to IMAX tag . hopefully we do get back

    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.

    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

    Ah a great video! Made me very nostalgic.
    The first movie that I watched in Prasads Imax was Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire..i guess circa 2005. Costed 180 rupees which was quite a shock for us. My other favourite experiences here are The Polar Express and Interstellar.
    What I like about Prasads and something I never found in any other digital Imaxes in India is the steep and stadium seating. The screen is much closer to you and covers your entire field of vision.

    I have watched INTERSTELLAR re release at the prasads large screen in 2023 and the experience was truly next level. That was the first time for me at the prasads and 1st large screen experience as well. I wish I watched it in the original 70mm intended version on the same screen but the timeline didn't match up. The best movie experiences in my life. Large screen, excellent sound system, nolan, interstellar(fav movie), can't go wrong I was mad happy
