Legacy theaters are the pride of every town, holding decades of history and playing many blockbuster films. These iconic landmarks hold a special place in people’s hearts, and Vizag has Jagadamba, Tirupati, and Leelamahal Center, while Hyderabad used to have numerous ones, but most have now disappeared.
Despite this, Sudarshan 35 MM in RTC Cross Roads remains a huge passion for fans, particularly those of Mahesh Babu, who prefer to see his new releases at this theater. When the release dates of Agent and Ponniyan Selvan 2 were announced, fans were in a scramble for Sudarshan for hours to decide the final winner.
It’s an open secret that Dil Raju is sending PS 1, but Sudarshan 35 MM is where everyone wants to be. The theater even released a Small film like ‘Balagam’ during a time of high demand. During Sankranthi, Sudarshan played Veerasimha Reddy and Walthair Veerayya for over a month.
Naturally, Sudarshan was assigned to Ponniyan Selvan 2 and given paper ads. The original plan was to set Devi along with Sandhya for the movie Agent, but Akkineni’s fans didn’t like it much. After much discussion, it was confirmed that Akhil’s Agent would be screened at Sudarshan 35mm.
The competition for screen, sound, and maintenance is fierce, and Sudarshan holds its own against others, with Akhanda and RRR movies bringing record collections. While sentiment plays a significant role in choosing a theater, it ultimately comes down to the quality of the film. However, Sudarshan’s history and reputation make it a natural choice for fans and a proud legacy for Hyderabad.
