Hard to believe! My first movie experience after the pandemic. Albert theatres is not ready for the new normal. What made me even more disappointing is the seats (all the seats) were dirty and not properly maintained. Pungent smell inside the hall makes it even more difficult to watch the movie. Its very sad to see a theatre which was celebrated once and now it is struggling to even have a proper house keeping.

A theatre with good audio and quite big hall, parking charges is 10 only. Youngsters are mostly visiting here so girls and families are avoiding. My opinion is to avoid if you are visiting with family. You can enjoy a lot as bachelor and small budget

Its a Super Star RAJINI KANTH sirs Temple.Every thalaivar film will be released here with a huge opening and huge decorations and very huge celebrations.It is located just , very near to egmore railway station.You can find this place and reach this place very easily.And of course , its some old and old theatre , so Ill be like an old theatre.Only Tamil films will be shown here.Of course , only because its a regional Normal theatre.Many new things can be installed or improved.You can book the tickets for this theatre online at ticketnew online ticketing platform.You can also book the tickets offline.The offline ticketing window is located just inside the theatre , after the entrance , very next to the gate.Lastly , its a thalaivaaaaaaaaa s temple..!!

This theatre is good for hardcore fans of Tamil superstars. Not a good choice for family audience. Seats are very old. Jam packed with each other. Not comfortable. AC was not that good. Screen is big. Sound OK.

Theatre or theater[a] is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers, usually actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The performers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of art, such as painted scenery and stagecraft such as lighting are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience.[1] The specific place of the performance is also named by the word theatre as derived from the Ancient Greek θέατρον (théatron, a place for viewing), itself from θεάομαι (theáomai, to see, to watch, to observe).Modern Western theatre comes, in large measure, from the theatre of ancient Greece, from which it borrows technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes, stock characters, and plot elements. Theatre artist Patrice Pavis defines theatricality, theatrical language, stage writing and the specificity of theatre as synonymous expressions that differentiate theatre from the other performing arts, literature and the arts in general.[2][b]Modern theatre includes performances of plays and musical theatre. The art forms of ballet and opera are also theatre and use many conventions such as acting, costumes and staging. They were influential to the development of musical theatre; see those articles for more information.

Biggggg Screen and superb sound. Landmark theatre in chennai. Counter ticket is far cheaper than online. Seats in first class need improvement. Balcony seats are good for neck rest. But other seats are not much comfort due to short backrest. Snacks are cheaper than other malls and theatres. Economical class surely Blindly visit.

The theatre hasnt failed to preserve the style and glory of Madras (before Chennai). And that is also the drawback, a comfortable renovation of the seats will be much welcome.

One of the oldest single screen theaters in Chennai. Theater is very famous for Rajini movies.The only problem is sometime visitors behave indecently while play movie. Theater management has to control them.
