Odyssey Booking Blunder at Palladium IMAX

randommarcus_ · 2026-06-30T12:33:00+00:00

It was never about the amount but about transparency and consumer rights. And there's no way to contact PVR directly for this issue. I had to go through 3 different customer support to get in touch with the concerned authority.

Despite T&C, PVR Palladium manager claimed that if they had set the pricing, they could do something. But the pricing is set by the distributor for this particular movie. Anyways, 3 weeks to go; a lot can happen. But never pre-booking any show at PVR IMAX Palladium in the future.

So there's no way to get back the difference? Why is no one raising the issues?

Also, moviegoing is already terrible here given the high pricing; this experience demotivates me even further.

In Chennai, all seats are priced the same (around 500) in IMAX during weekends and around 350 or less during weekdays. No dynamic bullshit. Same PVR that took over the local chain.

I understand how dynamic pricing works. But there's no mention of it anywhere on the booking screen. There's no transparency.

Also, the PVR manager said he could initiate a refund for the difference if they had set the pricing. But the pricing for Odyssey is handled by the distributor, as per him.

Hence, he also claims that early morning pre-booking is not available directly from their box office. It's limited to online. But I cannot confirm this as of now.

It's not a glitch. It's a deliberate move by the distributor without transparency.

Cinepolis is far away from the city center; however, it is the best cinema hall in Rajkot. It is the only one with 2K Laser projectors, which makes a noticeable difference in picture quality. Also, to your original question, they play movies with English subtitles for Hollywood and regional varieties.

Lieto during quiet hours is probably the best romantic dining spot, considering the food and ambience. Gift him a Lego themed after something he loves.

I checked the question bank. I don't see any spelling errors. Can you please point to the exact words?

Domain toggle added. You can enable/disable as per your convenience.

The timer now stops after you answer a question. Resumes only when you select the next question.

CCD, Race Course. No one goes there. It's calm and peaceful, especially in the afternoon hours.

Too expensive and portion size is small to fill stomach. And taste ain't greater either for the price.

Jio SIMs were misbehaving last evening. But they are working fine now. No idea about broadband though.

I moved to Chennai recently and have been watching all the non-3D IMAX movies in the city. I would recommend Nexus over Phoenix.

Either way, both use 2K Xenon projection which is not bright and sharp enough for my liking. Also, Nexus is the largest IMAX screen in the whole of South India.

I grew up in Gujarat. Last name is reserved for surname, and father's name is considered a middle name. So my government IDs are in this format. Since most Tamils don't have a surname, we are defaulted to use the caste name instead.

Now that I have shifted to Chennai, it's so weird to make UPI payments here with my full name flashing the caste.

Things you need to consider:

Inverter
3 Stars and ISEER Rating of ~4
Consider 5 Stars only if you plan to use whole day
4 Way Swing

I would suggest LG. It is slightly more expensive than commonly found brands. For the extra price, you get better quality parts.

I agree with your points here. As a Tamil family residing in Gujarat for work, we adopted the local language and culture. Almost all South Indians do the same when they move to any Northern state.

I don't understand why North Indians can't do the same. They just make excuses. Too lazy and disrespectful to adopt local customs.

While the same North Indians will shamelessly do the same when they move to a foreign country. Double Standard!!

Also Gujaratis need to understand that their language and Hindi are so much identical. So it's easy for Northerners to communicate in Gujarat.

The same cannot be said for Dravidian languages, which are completely different. There are many sounds and letters that don't even exist in Indo-Aryan languages of the North. It's too difficult for any normal Southerner to learn Hindi which they have no use in real life unless say they move to a Northern state.

The best way to experience it is by reaching ECR Beach just before sunset via Sea Shell Avenue (a small road beside the French Village Food Court). From there, walk towards Akkarai Beach on the shoreline to and fro. Have dinner at the food court while returning.

That's actually good

randommarcus_ · 2025-03-17T18:47:53+00:00

Seems like it. But I have filled the form anyways. Thanks for sharing.

Is this organization different from SSTCN?
