Loyal World Supermarket u/c Bangalore road

sorry for the quality

[catchshash]

This is located in Bannimantap, Next to fire brigade near JSS Medical and Pharmacy colleges.. It is a good location for locating a retail business..The huge chunk of high income households in this area always used to go to Devaraja Urs Road for everything..Good to see a supermarket coming up here..
There was a problem with land acquisition in this area because of fertile land beyond this area..Mandya district border is only 2km from here.. I'm guessing about the land acquisition part..Not sure about that..

Talkies of past making way for multiplexes

The film exhibition industry in Mysore has been adopting changing technologies in the realm, to facilitate changing taste of cine lovers and the recent addition is that of multi-screens, writes Sreekantswamy B



From theatres screening movies in 16 mm to the recent high-tech multiplex, the city of tourist attractions has indeed come a long way.

A tier-II city having close connectivity with neighbouring Bangalore city, Mysore has been the next to adopt technology after the State capital.

However, in the case of multiplex it was a bit late with Bangalore and Mangalore having already adapted the technology.

Recalls Shantala theatre manager Devaraj, Krishna talkies at Gandhi Square that was wound up decades ago was the first movie hall city had in 40’s.

The film industry had just taken wings, from silent to talkie movies and Krishna enjoys the credit of screening both. The screens then were of 16 mm width, a facility to boast then.

The mono pictures (reel) were in use, where the operator had to manually screen the movie. In case of sound, he had to operate the buttons, and it was a risky calling for equal concentration and expertise in the realm.

The films (reel) made of polyester were also delicate in nature and any ignorance would reduce it to ashes. A spark was enough. It was also a movable property as it had silver contents. The used reels then would fetch good amount.

Unlike nowadays, there were only three shows, and the morning shows depended on the new releases and the main star cast like biggies- Dr Rajkumar, M G Ramachandran and others.

The movies were screened in morning show for the benefit of die-hard fans of the stars. All it cost for a seat in balcony was Rs 1.10 and 80 paisa for second class, also not so affordable amount then.

Demand for Gandhi class!
You will be surprised to know, Gandhi class (front rows) was the most preferred choice then. Now, most of the theatres have removed the very class (row) of seats, owing to increasing inferiority complex among the younger generation. A layman earning a hundred or two per day too doesn’t mind to shell out extra bucks for balcony.

Matinee idol makes inroads
Till Rajkumar became a household name, Tamil films had created a niche audience for itself and the exhibitors too preferred the same. There were dedicated theatres for non-Kannada films and it was Rajkumar again who made inroads into non-Kannada language films, succeeding in wooing good number of audience.

Krishna theatre was closely followed by Chamundeshwari, Ganesha, Gayatri, Rajkamal, Padma among others. Lido, Sangam, Sterling, Shantala, Saraswati belong to 70’s.
The morning show then was at 11 am, matinee at 2.30 pm, first show at 6.15 pm and second at 9.30 pm against 1.30 pm, 4.30 pm and 7.30 pm now. What varies is the timing of morning show now and also regular shows in two or three theatres.

Sound emitting technology too underwent changes- stereo to DTS. Now the situation is such that, there is more sharpness in sound and light, giving a real experience to the audience.

After 16 mm screen, came 35 mm and now cinemascope. The latest, though it happened five to six years ago is the platter- where the reels roll from one plate to another without any manual interference. Devaraj claimed that Shantala is the only theatre to be equipped with it.

In case of multiplex- DRC cinemas in Jayalakshmipuram, it is a revolution of sort in the film exhibition industry. Apart from regular, it also has hi-tech 3D screening facility. As is the facility, the ticket costs Rs 100 odd, but a treat to watch the movie, for cine lovers.

Grim picture
However, what remains now is the grim picture. Those were the days when the city alone had close to 30 theatres, all having good takers.

Owing to changing taste of the people and also the privilege of watching movies at home on home theatre, the numbers dwindled standing at 20 here. It is expected to be bleak in future too, with few more multi-screens coming up under one roof.
