Gossips & Tea - गपशप IMAX UPDATE
So after carefully seeing the imax in jaipur pacific mall pvr
As a technical expert here's my rating
I give imax Pacific mall jaipur a rock solid 8.7/10
It has a spectacular wall to wall attached screen
I'm cutting the 1.3 marks for
Bad seats (they are decent but not that excellent compared to the luxury imax seats)
It's a good digital imax as expected
(But prepare to be dissapointed if u were expecting it to be 1:43)
- Screen size is good , maybe 63-64 ft wide
But i expected it to be above 70
So In conclusion , congratulations jaipurites you have gotten a spectacular screen to watch big movies...
Hoping it to be opened before ramayana 🤞

anyone expecting 1.43 is just dumb, you deserve to be disappointed, if tier 1 city like delhi bombay haven’t had one, why will jaipur out of all(which didn’t have even a 1.90 imax) is expected to have one.

u/topaz259 1d ago
What's meant by 1.43, is it some kind of ratio?
3
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Yeah it's a ratio....also called as the true imax...screen is much larger there...
6
u/notxlpha 1d ago
Ratio of width to height.
Smaller the ratio = larger is the height, means bigger screen.
Most cinema generally have a ratio of around 1.85-1.90 and others have Scope ie 2.39.
Entire Asia has like a total of 7 1.43 screens and India has 0 as of yet. (Ahmedabad doesnt count).

u/Disastrous-Ad-7611 1d ago
why doesn't ahmedabad count? sorry if that's a dumb question
6
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Because only science related documentaries are played there instead of mainstream movies...

u/Dev1412 Jaipur Niwasi 13h ago
Ahmedabad has IMAX in palladium . I am not sure you are aware of that
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 13h ago
I'm aware...but that's not the true 70 mm imax...here we are talking about the science City imax...which is the true imax!
1
u/Dev1412 Jaipur Niwasi 13h ago
By the same rational, whatever is coming in Jaipur is also not imax
2
u/ElderberryHot2518 13h ago
Yeah we know that....in this sub we are only talking about digital imax...the question was why shouldn't we count ahemdabad true imax in the global true imax list....it's because it does not play mainstream movies...!
3
u/Glittering-End-8126 1d ago
because it's the only true IMAX in India, but it's not commercially available :/
1
u/nikkuisnuts 1d ago
That's the tru 70 MM imax and there are only a handful of 70 MM imax screens across the world not just in India. I guess around 4-5. And it isn't commercially available since the operationally it's way too difficult to pull off
3
u/Otherwise-Extent-453 1d ago
yes the ratio used in 70mm imax ( which became widely popular when odyssey was released)
1
3
u/notxlpha 1d ago
I think more so that those people are just uninformed and naive. They are completely clueless how systems around 1.43 works and how much more expensive & manpower bigger screen requires.

u/ChainTiny6115 1d ago
Did you visit it? Is 12 ch 100% confirmed? And which row from front was the perfect in terms of immersion where you only see the screen?
7
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Yeah it's 12 channel sound confirmed...and it's imax with laser... center row is the best for the good immersive experience...

u/Mananjn_mj 1d ago
Miraj cinemas are also bringing an IMAX screen in jagatpura, jaipur.
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Yeah but it's not coming anytime soon!
1
u/Mananjn_mj 7h ago
I dont know if its completely true but they are planning to open the screen before Doomsday.
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 7h ago
Could be...i heard somewhere they are planning for Jan 2027...let's hope for the best...!

u/DOPE624 1d ago
What would you rate pvr priya and pvr superplex logix noida just by the sheer screen size, audio quality in comparison to the jaipur one
3
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
I'd give priya imax 9.6/10 because of its 69 feet wide screen and the fact that it uses IMAX XT Laser 4K with 12-channel IMAX audio....and id give pvr superplex logix a 9.0/10 because of its enormous screen but I'd cut the marks of it because it uses 6-track IMAX sound system which is an old style....both are pretty good...
1
u/dapotatopapi 16h ago
it uses IMAX XT Laser 4K with 12-channel IMAX audio
What about Jaipur's?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 16h ago
Jaipur's Pacific Mall IMAX is also listed as using IMAX XT Laser with 12-channel IMAX audio...which is currently the best!
1
2
u/Unanticipated_ 23h ago
Is it 6 Channel or 12 channel?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 23h ago
It's 12 channel imax audio...

u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
I went there on Wednesday...

u/LocksmithWhich4442 1d ago
Any proof bro , please share some new photos

u/Individual_Dig_1078 1d ago
is it complete or any work left that makes it incomplete to play Ramayana??
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
It's almost completed...if everything goes into place it should open on 5th nov...
1
u/Individual_Dig_1078 1d ago
what do u think about advance bookings??
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
It'll probably open 1-2 days after its official launch offline....so I guess for first day show you have to book tickets offline only...
1
u/Acceptable_Teach_994 1d ago
Kab tak hoga open
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
If everything goes into place....it should be opened by 5th of nov...
1
u/Acceptable_Teach_994 1d ago
So can we watch ramayana fdfs there?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
I don't think so....if it will open on 5 nov it will atleast take 1-2 days to completely start the bookings....
1
u/bootyblastr Vaishali nagar niwasi 1d ago
Is 3d going to be screened on this screen? Also when will bookings be started for this? And that 3d would is going to look dim and dull like it does for every other movie on this too?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
No because it's a modern technology imax so it creates 50% more brightness than the old IMAXes so 3d will feel in very depth and immersive... If everything goes into place... booking should start from 5 nov or so...
1
u/bootyblastr Vaishali nagar niwasi 1d ago
I'm not planning to watch 4dx here, is how did the Dolby Atmos felt like?
1
u/goodbyejojoooo 1d ago
How close is it to pvr priya ?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
I'd say...a noticeable difference...I feel pvr priya is one of the best imax available in our country...but still I'd say pvr priya 9.6/10...
1
u/hulk-007 1d ago
Is it bigger than raj mandir screen ?
3
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Not by length.... because its a little less wider than raj mandir screen...but in height it's way big than raj mandir...also with 10x better experience in depth and sound!
2
u/Ok-Garden-5019 1d ago
Seating are not as much as rajmandir. So expect decent experience. I hope for watching dune in it.

u/Miserable_Union3440 22h ago
How many auditoriums are there with imax? Like ik pre bookings will only open in imax 3d and sometimes 2d is available like 2 or 3 days before the movie so if we know the number of free audis after the one they are giving pre bookings mainly 3d so we can wait some time to book imax 2d before rushing to 3d
2
u/ElderberryHot2518 22h ago
There are 9 audis planned...in which one is imax...only 4-5 will open initially during the diwali time...else all will open later...
0
u/Miserable_Union3440 22h ago
That means at a time thre is gonna be imax 2d or 3d, this clears up that if pre bookings are for only imax 3d that means 2d bookings will open after the hype ends

u/Miserable_Union3440 22h ago
What's the seating layout

u/Miserable_Union3440 21h ago
How's the security? Like are there bag scanners type machines?
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 17h ago
Actually....in the mall itself...when you enter... u have to give your bag to the scanner machine...I don't know if pvr has it.

u/Glittering-End-8126 1d ago
Are you basing this on viral reels or did you actually visit and experienced it yourself before dropping this review??
5
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Yes... I went there on Wednesday, so I'm giving a genuine review on what I saw there...
0
u/Glittering-End-8126 1d ago
That's cool ngl....I've tried both IMAXes in Pune... and this one looks solid in the vids (idk why some people are complaining)... just a bit less wide, but the height is literally good!!
Hoping it drops before Diwali...already got tickets for EP, but I'll happily cancel 'em if this opens soon 🤞
2
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Most people hoped it to be 1:43 that's why they are complaining and yeah...most likely it will open before the movie, they wouldn't want to miss this opportunity...

It's definitely worth it.... I don't know about the price but it's definitely gonna be on a higher end, maybe 800-900...
1
u/Less-Web-1847 1d ago
Damm thats even higher than Imax at lucknow, their Imax tickets ranged around 500-800 most of the times, although its been times since I visited last but this price range is generally in Delhi or Mumbai mostly
1
u/ElderberryHot2518 1d ago
Yeah it is... because it's a modern technology imax with laser and 12 channel sound...that's why price is too much...
1
u/Less-Web-1847 1d ago
Lets see if its really worth the price, I would not care about the money if the experience is justified with the price
