* BugS CinemA*

Gulf Cinema which should be named as BUGS Cinema..!!

I had a very bad experience during the weekend when i went to watch a movie with ma frnds!!

The theatre is utter crap with all outdated sound system. There are many speakers on the walls- front, back, left and right. It seems only the front big speakers work and the rest are dead.... R.I.P...:(

With trillions of bugs to entertain you along with the movie. The floor carpet is the same carpet i saw when i was in Kindergarden school. I found spit marks on the wall...YAAAKKkkk ! :(The Place stinks like HELL...

The quality of the movie is more then enough to make u dizzy or sometimes BLIND.

They charge Qrs.25/- for Balcony (For Families), Qrs.15/-(for notorious guyz)...LOL which is not WORTH...:(

I dont know why the management is not doing anything even though they charge so much for the tickets and why Baladiya people dont go there to check the Hygenic conditions ?

As this is century old Cinema, i hope the officals take necessary measures and some maintenance in order tat people to Enjoy their Movies Peacefully without scratching their BUMS....:(

I am sure some of you might have also experienced the same TORTURE !!

Eagle, Gulf cinema is owned by Qatar cinema, a company lited in stock exchange, who own also landmark, mall and royal plaza cinema, so tell me how come all other cinemas are well maintained (except mall cinema, their seats rock-by-baby lol), just think of the number of hindi and philipino movies lovers in qatar, and think how much money they can make in case they rehabilitate the theaters, but they don't care, simply.

Yalla!

phoenix2009 said ...nowadays, no more qataris are going there, otherwise it would stay in good shape, but no offense, no body cares about asian bachelors and families in baladiya."

Not quite. It's a matter of economics. City Centre charges QR35 for normal seats and QR100 for premium (or whatever) seats so all that $$ goes towards maintenance of the place.

Maintenance costs money. Gulf Cinema caters to different clientele. The prices suit the budget.

/I don't have a DVD player and DVDs are so expensive! I stay at home and watch my teevee...

But there are better options ...I try to avoid Gulf Cinema...I have always wondered why its in an utter state of neglect.....looks like its stuck in the 1980's.

Last time I went there for Twenty-20 they had extra plastic chairs piled one on top of the other.....so if its a housefull movie....you can pull out the plastic chair and sit on it...lol

I preferred the plastic chair over the torn regular chair....

Remember to carry a newspaper to lay it on the seat before you sit on it...you will not be bothered by bugs....lol

Now .....looks like the CityCentre guys have woken up to the fact that there are mallu moviegoers as well....couple of films have started to show there.

And Torrents are no help with Mallu Movies....cant find one movie with good quality (print...lol)....ok ...1 in 100...maybe!...

7 years ago before the city center cinema, Gulf cinema was a place for lot of Qatari families in week ends, nowadays, no more qataris are going there, otherwise it would stay in good shape, but no offense, no body cares about asian bachelors and families in baladiya.

Yalla!

you'll left India or the place you saw the rat?

I was at TGIF in KY recently and after dinner I saw a humongous rat run across. Had I not paid my bill, I would just walk outta there... ;-)

Flipping hell, I'll avoid that cinema then. I remember visiting India when I was a child and saw a rat, we left there pretty quick!

the Grand Cinecenter in City Center... I really enjoy'd watching AVTAAR there !

Really clean ... nice seating and sound system / screen is superb !

I guess this one is for humans....

the Doha Cinema is for bugs ... so avoid going there if you are not one :)

Why bother to go there when you have other better options?

I've never been in, but it’s quite obvious by the outside that the place has been neglected and abandoned since long time ago.
