I have been to both those Cinemas in Hyderabad for umpteen number of times. From 2008–2012 BIG Cinemas has been my most favorite. The Picture and Sound quality was terrific back then at BIG Cinemas. In fact they had the best seating(they still do) for a Multiplex in the entire city. But since the last four years the maintenance deteriorated. The sound is now loud but not sharp. The picture is dull and faded. The screen is badly maintained. BIG Cinemas has two outlets in the city. Technically it’s just one because the other one is in a Resort on the outskirts.
One experience: I went to BIG Cinemas after 2 years to watch Neerja. The picture is too dull. When I asked the Duty Manager there he informed that they usually play 3D films on that particular screen. So they changed the normal screen to a Silver Screen. But they are still in the search for a good projector that suits the screen. So when they “find” the right projector he says that the picture quality will be back to awesome. Who replaces a screen w/o the proper projector I wonder!! Not even single screens do it. It’s a shame that they are a pan India multiplex.
On the other hand, PVR Cinemas has been constantly improving the technology in their Cinemas. There was only one PVR a few years ago in the city. They upgraded the sound to Dolby 7.1 a long while ago. It was a disaster in the beginning because the output was terrible. To explain it in simple words, suppose you have a Desktop with 2.1 speakers attached. Now try playing a film file that has 5.1 encoding. It’s exactly the same. However they fixed it within a few weeks. Now the sound and projection is very good there. PVR opened it’s second outlet at Forum Hyderabad. The technology there is the best in the city. The picture is crystal clear and the sound is uber sharp.
PVR acquired Cinemax and now there are a total of four PVR outlets in the city.
On the luxury front PVR is always the winner in our country. But as they say, good things don’t come cheap. PVR is very pricey with their food and beverages on offer. On the other hand food at BIG Cinemas is affordable for most. [In Hyderabad the ticket price is determined by the Govt., which is 150 for Normal Seats and 250 for Recliners on all days for all shows]
