City Pride, Kothrud is a nice place, although not as fancy and happening as E-Square. Ample parking, less rush.

Gold Adlabs, Kalyani Nagar
Fame Cinemas, Fatima Nagar

INOX off Sadhu Vaswani Chowk is at the top of my list.
This is after having covered almost all places over more than a decade in Pune.

The trouble with theaters here,

• loud sound is confused with quality audio experience
• many of them do not understand that the lights have to go off (not just get dimmed)
  • this is often the problem with aisle seats at INOX!
• parking can become a deep problem as it is hardly accounted for by these places
  • the multiplexes these days are getting a tad better tho

^{I have a friend working on a different take here,
he is building a projector at home -- last I checked he was prototyping over 80 inches on a whitewashed wall.
I think i'll try his place out more often :-)}

IMHO, I'd give preference to INOX in Pune. After that probably Mangala and Rahul. E-sq would rank much lower in the charts. This review is given only based on the screen sizes and movie experience. When I go out for a movie, I do not count food, parking and other stuff at all. The Movie is experience should be best that's it.
