Its basically a performing arts theatre, though which hangs the veil of International Film Festival of Kerala and becomes a Film Theatre.It houses nearly 1000 seats.Pretty good leg space is available in between seats.The seats are comforting.I would choose the lower area rather than choosing the Balcony. I found it more appealing/enjoyable.Just choose a seat which is to the middle part of the theatre and have a great show.Cheerio

Tagore Centenary Hall, popularly known as Tagore Theatre, is a quintessential name while you talk about Thiruvananthapuram. As the name depicts, it is named after Great Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. While India celebrated the 150th birth day of Shri Rabindra Nath Tagore, Govt of India has taken the account of all the installations in the name of Shri rabindra Nath Tagore, and sanctioned fund to renovate all these. But as all know the time delay normally occurs in availing the fund granted by central govt..!! So Govt Kerala has spent almost 23 crore rupees. It is one among the two theatres founded in 1965(one at Trivandrum and one at Calicut) and owned by the State Government, Public Relations Department (now with Directorate of Tourism through District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC)) hosts many cultural events like plays, film shows, dance and music performances and seminars. The theatre, located in about six acres of highly priced land, can seat about 1200 people.

Tagore Centenary Hall in Vazhuthacaud Trivandrum is a land mark in the city. The Hall was one of the best auditoriums in the city where many functions like Award Functions, Seminars, Film Festivals, Concerts etc were being regularly held. Situated in a convenient location of the city with sufficient parking facility and seating capacity this used to be a preferred location for all important functions, until a decision to refurbish, renovate and restructure the Building was taken about a couple of years back. Since then, the auditorium is closed to public except for the ground where at times parking is allowed for vehicles coming to the two social clubs nearby. The renovation is still in progress and one is not exactly sure as to when the centre will be reopened. But still this remains a land mark in the city and will regain its glory once it is reopend because of the ambience, excellent acoustics (hope these are maintained after renovation as well) and location.

I visited the theatre for the first time during the International Film Festival of Kerala and was blown away by its sheer size. I understand it was a massive auditorium that was converted into a theatre. It does have some drawbacks, but its central location and and ample car parking space makes it a huge hit for film lovers. I definitely recommend it.

Tagore is a government owned and operated theatre that hosts midst of the festivals in Trivandrum. Designed for over 600+ capacity with a balcony and normal seating area. The theatre was renovated recently to offer plush seating and comfortable space with a large centre stage. Toilet facilities are available indoors. A few bad things about this facility is that ancillary facilities like parking, toilets are not proportional to seating capacity, so any major event could create long queues. Located at the heart of the city, vazhuthacaud, accessibility is very good. Overall I would rate 4, because of the negligence towards making it a international quality arena and leaving it just as a mediocre theatre, if designed and maintained well, it could host top class international level conferences and delegations.

I went to Tagore theater premise for Olam 2020. It was a nice atmosphere there. Well done Team olam for that. The space is pretty big for organizing a fest. There were nearly 100+ stalls and other events organised there. The theater itself can accommodate a large group. Good parking facility and well accessible as it is right in the city.
