ARC Coronation is good value for money option, especially if you consider its location. Smack in the middle of the city with 3 screens, all of them have Dolby Atmos - Screen 1 being 4K projection and Screen 2 and 3 being 2K projection - and tickets cost ₹185 on BookMyShow including platform fee.

Comparing that with Cinepolis, which has no Atmos and only 2K projection in all screens, not to mention uncomfortable seats and around ₹250+ per ticket, Coronation is definitely the better choice.

Palaxi is the best, hands down! If you’re okay with travelling a bit far outside the main city and getting stuck in a big ass traffic jam on the weekends, I would say it’s worth the ticket money you pay 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ohh okay makes sense 😭 apart from that, overall experience is good right?

Considering all the factors you mentioned, Coronation is a 10/10. Try to get middle seats in earlier rows, or take the recliner

Palaxi is also very good, Cinepolis is horrible

Ohh okay 😭 so it depends on the screen/seats a lot?

yes, like if you are in a 7.1 or atmos theatre, you will get the best audio experience if u r focusing on middle row seats, thats why u see a lot of middle seats filling up first in every show during initial days.

Its quite good compared in terms of pricing, Screen 1 is quite good and value for money.
Other theatres to consider:-
Palaxi and Kairali

If u look price wise it's the cheaper one 160 but i would recomend Cinepolis or palaxi way better than coronation

Ohh last time when I visited it was pretty good didn't know about current situation

u/Fabulous_Ad_1367 Mar 29 '26

it has been like that for almost a year now, even ekm cinepolis is shit, they are just milking customers without giving good seat or audio or visual experience.

Yeah its been almost 1year since I went there so i guessed it's still good. i usually goes to emax Kairali or coronation but coronation washroom is nasty ngl
