PVR Europa is not worth the deal

Having heard a lot about it, I had certain expectations from this biggie from the stables of PVRs when I went to see Spiderman 2 at PVR Europa Hall in Gurgaon. But well I did not even come to know I was in Europa until I was handed over the lime water pouch by the ticket checkers. I took that at first as some kind of a promotional activity from some lime water maker but the way it was being done told me it was not the usual PVR I used to go in Gurgaon. Checked with my friend (who had bought the tickets at 200 bucks per head) and he confirmed… that we were indeed in the finest of them all (save for the PVR Plaza now I believe). It came as a disappointment. The appetizer in the form of lime water was good. But there were no other pleasant surprises for me to see.

It is a normal hall. You get your tickets in a small envelop with a small menu which you can use to order stuff to eat from inside the hall itself. Rest is same. The worse part is that the hall has no reclining seats. For the sake of leg room, they have fixed seats. This in my opinion is terrible. All through the movie, I kept on trying to recline my seat as I am used to these in Fun Republic and other halls. But well, it was not to be. The movie was the only saving grace; I don’t have any fun memories of the hall itself. There is another special variant of this hall called the lounge. More expensive with better facilities. I don’t think I will give that a try. I am happy paying 50 bucks for an English movie at my local multiplex.
