Today morning I happened to go around Connaught Place, New Delhi at around 1045 hrs.
Initially I went to PVR Plaza trying to see the movie,
KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA
Tockets were sold out for the 1115 show.
I took an auto , went to PVR Rivoli.
The price for premium class.
The Pleasing girl at counter told me was Rs 200/-
No other class was available at that time.
I took Rs 200/- ticket and received a royal welcome.
Thorough checking.
I think the interior of the theater was not that much well set, as equal Prasad Multiplex of Hyderabad.
Still the Air Condition effect was up to the level of 100 %
At the interval I asked for a cup of Coffee. I gave the pretty looking girl Rs 100/-
I got a electric shock that I received back an amount of Rs 50/- only.
The price of that average Coffee was Rs 50/-
I request somebody here to comment on this.
Otherwise I think the movie was little bit boring
But OK
can be seen once.
They are trying thr theme of old English movie Gone with the Wind.

Thanks for your comments.
I WAS LITERALLY DEPRESSED, after spending too much money on that day.
Rs 20Auto+ Rs 25 PVR Mineral water + Rs 200movie + Rs 50 ordinary coffee
I THINK when compared to PVR-DELHI, the Prasads- Hyderabad, SATYAM Multiplex- Chennai are cheaper cost wise and facility wise too.
As a cool spring in a desert I saw the board of Indian Coffee House, nearby. I got shocked to see it in North Indian Delhi. Cool. Happy.
It is in the roof top of next door building Mohan’s place.
Believe me I had wonderful BIG masala dosa + 2 Big vadas + 1 full cup of decent coffee for Rs 51/- only.
Old sardars and some old people were smoking and sipping tea and kept on talking for hours together.
IMPORTANT::: THE STAFF WERE FRIENDLY
Believe me DELHIITES You should be proud of this restaurant. Though the toilet facilities are basic the rate and quality is incomparable.

On that same day after getting sleepy by that big masala dosa I started walking.
I got elated to find the movie of Krishh acted by Hrithik Roshan,
I was trying to see that for quite some time.
It was Regal movie hall.
You must have seen over the outer circle of connaught circle.
By the time I went to the ticket counter at 1530 hrs movie had already started at 1530 hrs.
The ticket this time was OK. Only Rs 50/-
But in print it was written as 40/-
I asked the counter clerk.
He did not give proper response.
I did not have time to fight.
Definitely the theatre should have been built during British time.
But well maintained.
I got shocked.
The Air condition was there but with little effect.
The typical ancient condition with good AC. Oh God Great for me.
Crowd was very very few.
Some couples in corner seats were practising KAMASUTRA.
The theatre staff did not mind it seems.
In the interval I got a decent coffee for Rs 10/-
I got pleasent shock.
I said big thanks to the staff.
He was surprised.
In his whole life nobody should have told thanks to him after delivering coffee.
The 10 Rupee coffee was well indeed.
Better than that Rs 50/- PVR Coffee.
