At Sri Nidhi Rathina Cineplex theatre, during Deepavali and Pongal time - mass hero movie releases, you can jostle with groggy-eyed fans early in the morning to catch a darshan of a Tamil film star. Celebrations outside the theatre start much before the actual show. You will witness a 1000-wala being set off, and the din of the crackers will barely overshadow the incessant sound of the drums/chenda being played on the sidelines. If you’re early enough, you might even catch a paal abhisekam being performed for one of the many cut-outs. Tea shops nearby are where you can overhear thara local dissection - things like “antha fight mass-u” and “antha song sema hit-u, etc”.

THEATRE REVIEW

This theatre is very good, super and nice. Chance’eh illa, vera level, thaaru maaru thakkaali soru, super super super super..! It can be said as ‘Sathyam theatre’ of Neyveli Township and liked by many people as their favorites’. It has more vehicle parking space and the theatre seat is very comfortable with snacks holding facility. The theatre premises and the rest room are too clean and well maintained. Anyhow OTT platforms cannot replace the cinema theatre experience.
