A melodious song//Virisina Vennelavo (Bandhipotu Dongalu)1968; Ghantasala; ANR,Jamuna,;Pendyala Nageswara Rao; I hope you will enjoy my whistling too. Please listen to my whistling with headphones ON. @smule @smuletelugu @Drghantasalavl youtube.com/watch?v=FfLeX6…

I am not sure if these theatres still exist now....Kamal talkies at Chaderghat; State (Estate) next to Salar Jung Museum; Krishna Talkies near Charkaman; Select at Bolarum; Balaji Chitra Mandir opp NTR studios; Basant and Prabhat, both closed in Kacheguda chowrasta; All Raj Kapoor movies used to be released in Dlishad Cinema (as they were the sole distributors for RK films); Btw, does anyone know the Original name of Ashok talkies, Jambagh? Also, there was one name written on top of Dilshad cinema? Dilshad cinema was renovated with stereophonic sound and all that stuff with which movie?

Of these only Tivoli is there. Light House later became known for soft porn flicks. Raja Deluxe name changed now. Ramakrishna is now a Multiplex.

These were our regular joints in late 60s/early 70s. Embassy on the first floor (120+seater next to Liberty bldg); Light House on the first floor, opp Aliya school, Gunfoundry; Plaza, Dreamland, Tivoli in Secbad; Rahat Mahal (later Raja Deluxe) in Musheerabad; These were all showing English movies. The opening movies in the following theatres were (we all went for first-day/first-show) Natraj (The Dirty Dozen); Ramakrishna 70MM (The Sound of Music); Sangeet 70MM (I remember it was Camelot)...Those were the days!

Once upon a time before the multiplex boom and OTT, Hyderabad had some great single screen theaters, that were iconic in their own right. Many of them have closed down due to various reasons. Thread on some of them. Sangeet, Secunderabad- The go to destination for Hollywood flicks, and it showed the best ones. If a movie was released in Sangeet, you could vouch for it's quality. Also was the first theater in twin cities to get DTS, and Optical Stereo Sound. It shut down in 2008, due to renovation work, and has not opened later. It was a truly iconic place, very posh, excellent seating, and sound system. Another good theater for Hollywood movies was Surya 70/35 mm in Abids, showed some really good movies, but closed down quite long time back. Skyline/Sterling in Basheerbagh was another good theater for Hollywood flicks, a major landmark in that area. Again they showed some pretty good movies, and Basic Instinct ran close to a year in Sterling. Anand on S.D.Road in Secunderabad, was another go to, usually for Bollywood movies, but they also showed some good English ones, remember watching Lord of the Rings here. Odeon near RTC X roads, a complex of 3 theaters- 70mm, 35 mm and Mini Odeon, showed the latest Telugu movies, had a great sound system. One of Chiranjeevi's favorite theaters. I believe it's now a multiplex. Maheshwari-Parameshwari, the original multiplex in Hyderabad, with escalators, rich lavish look, popular site for movie shoots, was a tourist attraction by itself. It's now converted into an Inox Multiplex. If you were a lover of old Hindi movies, there were a host of theaters in Hyderabad- Zamrud in Abids, Lata near Nampally, Dilshad, Navarang, Vikrant near Jambagh, Royal near Koti, all of which have closed down. Some other popular single screens near RTC X roads that have shut down are Subash, Tirumala. I guess only Sandhya, Sudarshan, Devi are around. Lakdikapool had Shaam, Amravati both closed down. There was another one Meera now its Sensation Theater. Deepak, Venkatesa, Srinivasa in Narayanaguda popular for Telugu movies are also shut down now. Also there was Kishore in Narayanaguda for Hollywood flicks. Kumar in Kacheguda was popular for Hollywood movies, but now it just runs some B-Grade stuff. Santosh/Sapna for Bollywood is still around, and Ramakrishna theaters owned by NTR family is now a multiplex. Another theater Tarakarama though is no longer there. Secunderabad had a whole lot of well known single screen theaters Nataraj, Manju, Manohar all shut down. This is not an exhaustive list, there are many other such single screens closed down in Hyderabad/Secunderabad or closing down. Lot of memories associated with them.

Is it not time to wrap-up MI from @IPL for a couple of years?

@DealsDhamaka I remember when I was working in Seychelles in 1988, the only thing that fascinated me was that, only the President of Seychelles was permitted to use Green Pen. I am not sure of any other country, incl India.

Vijay officially takes charge at the Tamil Nadu Secretariat Is Green Pen a govt mandate ?

@rvaidya2000 @Riyashaishere I hope the marital arts won't turn into martial arts!

Extra marital/Pre-marital/post-marital/no marital/etc reltns common in Film and politics in TN//Earlier it was behind curtains now in open with pride// That is why some do not respect these 2 "professions" :))) RT @Riyashaishere

@DPrasanthNair There must be still some confusion, wrt alphabets in Keralam...Who has won? LDF or UDF?

Elections over CMs finalized and swearing in done. Work starts. But In Kerala, CM still to be decided.

@AnurathanGd @bykarthikreddy You should have mentioned so...I take back my comment....!

"Vijay is trying to fool the public. Film dialogues and stunts doesn't work in politics" - DK Shivakumar

@AnurathanGd @bykarthikreddy How can it be an old video? One Reporter was questioning about Vijay??? 1000BC or 1000AD?

@bykarthikreddy Old video

@BellamSwathi Can someone post the translation of the first so called "oath" that he delivered like cinema dialogue. Is it same as the usual one? This will clear the air!

Joseph Vijay took two oaths 1. Cinematic oath like a lengthy movie dialogue 2. Official oath after Governor stopped him from doing that and asked him to take official oath as written in the paper What a cinematic start to new TN govt

CM designate Vijay will be in Powerplay mode for the next six months. How well he fares will depend on the success of his innings!!!

@ttd_updates Last week I went to Tirumala. I noticed several shortcomings/safety lapses in the Queue Management/Complex. I wanted to DM to @ttd_seva @TTDevasthanams and explain the situation but none of them is responding. Govinda Govinda🙏

@CNNnews18 There should be a Legislative provision, where one party which is in dire need of 2 or 3 MLAs, can borrow from other State and return after the Floor test is over!!! Otherwise, T20 match will never end even if converted into a 5D match...!

Vijay’s TVK emerged as the single-largest party in the state elections, but it is the allies of DMK who are bringing him to power. #VijayTVK news18.com/india/vijay-wo…

@CNNnews18 What is wrong with it! I was a Science graduate and became a Chartered Accountant....Anything is possible in this world, if one has the will-power!!

At a time when everyone is wondering if Thalapathy Vijay will be the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, several details about the actor-turned-politician’s personal life have also been making headlines. Now, TVK Chief’s class 10 marksheet has also surfaced on social media. It shows that Vijay was a good performer even in academics. #ThalapathyVijay #Vijay #TVK #TamilNaduPolitics #VijayMarksheets
