English movies? Coimbatore? Forget it!!

There are no good theatres in Coimbatore that offer a show of English movies! There used to be the famous "Central Theatre" which is closed of late due to some legal issues.

Other than that, the two theatres that display English movies prominently are at the Carnatic theatre and at Maruthi.

Carnatic theatre has been fully refurbished with new seats, etc. But they show a whole range of languages from Tamil, Malayalam, English, English(Tamil dubbed) etc.

The other one, Maruthi shows English movies, but the interiors leave a lot to be desired. The seats are all "Rock-solid" and very old. The air-conditioning doesnt work! Some of the ceiling fans dont and it gets awfully hot at times! I'll be surprised to find more than twenty patrons on weekdays! And they only play the 'masala' type of movies that has everything in it! What I personally feel is that the crowd would swell if the whole theatre was refurbished! Many family members would come instead of watching the movie back home on thier DVD players. Maruthi theatre can develop its infrastructure in its own fancy to increase patronage among the movie-goers.

The bottom line: There is NO theatre in Coimbatore as of now where you can enjoy a decent English movie without sweating it out or peering over others shoulders to get a glance of the whole screen FULL STOP
