Lakshmi Theatre
This blog is my personal experience which is going to be based on the moral of this blog “Are we Thinking out of the Box”.
In many ways, People are like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up.
It’s all about Lakshmi Theatre. The One of the famous cinema theatre in Madivala (bangalore) that is near to my home. This theatre is special for me, as, it reminds me the above moral.
A year back, I got a transfer from Trivandrum to Bangalore. Being a movie (theatre) freak and new to the city, I want to fullfill my appetite in both. I want to watch new movies releasing in city and also roam around the city. The solution or strategy I have followed is that, if a new movie was released in the city, I would watch the movie in a theatre for which i havent been before.
For everything, there is a starting point. Starting point for this exploration was began with the search of theatre “Aruna” for the movie “Pattiyal”. I dont want to go into the movie details, however, it is a good movie, almost pithamagan remade.
After almost one month, I was still living there in Madivala(Bangalore). I have watched a movie in Forum. I felt that I was getting narrowed down. The initial aspiration was not there anymore, anyway, I wouldnot let my ignition switch off. It was at those time, I came to know about Lakshmi Theatre in Tavarakere near Madivala. I dont remember what was my first movie in Lakshmi Theatre.
We took the Auto and we memorised the route all the way to the theatre. After Reaching there, We estimated the distance from home and as per our calculations, the movie theatre was not so far, jus 20 min walk. Thanks to the Auto for showing the way. After watching the movie, we were back home by the same route on walk.
Almost three months have gone. By this time, we have watched the some three to four movies Don , Superman Returns, Dhoom etc in the same theatre. All the time, we have taken the same route.
But that is not all. One fine day, when I was returning from Taverekere, I find a narrow street going straight just before the usual route. I have decided to try that street. voila. You wont believe me. It takes me directly to the back of my house. Its just five minutes walk.. ![]()
This is one such small event that happened to me. But after that I came across lots of similar incidents however, this is significant compared to others as the impact of this incident was quite long i.e, three months.

hi da, have u seen ‘kattradhu tamil’ yet? let me know what u think. i thought it was quite interesting . . . something to think abt.
sorry, Karthik.. I have not explained properly…
According to my writing, it appears that auto driver has taken us through a long route. Actually, we walk for some distance in the long route, then we took the auto, as we were not sure of the exact walking time.
Its a complete residential area, so one way doesnt matter..
According to my experience, Bangalore Autos were far better than Chennai, but not so cool as Trivandrum.
there is another thing to consider… b’lore is filled with one-ways and i suppose the autowaala was just going thro one…
Anand,
Its not a struggle. Its our mentality that we need to change.
“Even English wont help Us”
..
Hey, Its Karnataka & not England.
Instead of English, if you tried Hindi, that would be helpful.
But I wouldn’t recommend Hindi. Because, You know, its Karnataka & not UP.
When I was in bangalore/mysore, I used to learn Kannada (in 30 days:). If I evaluate my ability in Kannada, My scores would be…
Read 75%
write 25%
understand 25%
speak 5%
But, My ability wont be much helpful. I have to improve. Lets see..
hhhm… I was also struggling a lot to find place in Bangalore.. Even English won’t help us! Everything in Karnataka is in it’s regional language. I am having a ‘HARD GOOD’ time.
