\u201cThis is where one of the oldest theatres of Coimbatore, dating back to the pre-independent era, stood,\u201d says Menaka Vairavan, chief of operations at the newly opened Alveal fun savvy mall at PN Pudur near Vadavalli. <\/p>\n

What was Saravana Talkies, started in 1927, later became Namagiri Theatres\u00a0that screened iconic Hollywood classics. This historic theatre has now turned into an entertainment hub promising a unique movie experience for the public . \u201cThis property came our way as my family has been in the construction industry for over three decades,\u201d explains Menaka, adding that as Vadavalli was already a booming real estate, they focussed on building a neighbourhood cinema in the heart of the city.<\/p>\n

When her team studied the market, they realised that there were hardly any entertainment facilities in the five-kilometre radius. \u201c There are several residential properties\u00a0and\u00a0as many as five universities in and around Vadavalli. We wanted to create a space that draws the young\u00a0and\u00a0the old. People can just walk from their homes\u00a0and\u00a0catch the latest movie,\u201d adds Menaka. Spread across over one lakh square feet area with ample parking, the mall also marks\u00a0PVR\u00a0INOX\u2019s\u00a0third cinema in Coimbatore\u00a0and\u00a024th in Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n

It features comfortable reclining seats with ample leg room\u00a0and\u00a0spread across five auditoriums with each featuring a unique colour theme of red, violet\u00a0and\u00a0gold to name a few. While there are 894 seats, the auditoriums are equipped with 2K laser projection technology\u00a0and\u00a0Dolby 7.1 sound (one of them boasts Dolby 7.4 sound) for superior sound quality\u00a0and\u00a0an immersive experience. A layered ceiling design\u00a0and\u00a0crystal embellishments adds grandeur to the decor while portraits of stars featuring their iconic roles grace the walls making it a visually appealing experience.<\/p>\n

As per the team\u2019s market research, Coimbatore has space and demand for more malls. The study also found that people prefer bigger shopping spaces to indulge in retail therapy. \u201cWe want to project this mall as a space where the entire family can catch a good movie, enjoy good food, and\u00a0have an entertaining evening,\u201d says Menaka.<\/p>\n

There is Asian\u00a0and\u00a0Mughal bowls to choose from at Bistro the Way. Try egg rolls from over 60 varieties\u00a0and\u00a0wash them all down with some\u00a0jigarthanda<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0bubble tea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Virtual Reality (VR) gaming zone is another exciting addition,\u201d says Menaka adding that Coimbatore Board Games Hub that has a collection of over 350 games catering to different kinds of players have also set up shop at the mall. There are plans to host weekend board game tournaments\u00a0and\u00a0events that bring together communities.<\/p>\n
