Updated Info

(08/09/11)

In the past few months, there have been a lot of changes in the online ticket booking situation. This update addresses those changes.

  • The ticket-booking site mentioned in the original post – HousefullCinema.com – appears to have stopped functioning.
  • Online ticket reservation for the all-new, renovated Anand theatre, Abhilash and Asha are available at TicketNew.com
    (thanks to Sakthivel Palaniyappan for tipping about the new site in the comments)
  • The twin-theatre mentioned below isn’t open yet, but is expected to launch this year (2011) itself.

Twin Theatre Complex

The new twin theatre complex by Mini Muthoot near Govt. Ayurveda Hospital, adjacent to the BSNL Administrative office at Vayaskarakkunnu is nearing completion. The base structure is almost completed. It’s expected to be opened by Christmas / New Year (note: It will open at 11th Nov, 2011 as given in the update).

Online & Mobile Ticket Reservations

This is great stuff. All our five theatres now support Online & Mobile ticket reservations. Out of them, Abhilash, Asha, Anand & Anashwara are powered by HouseFullCinema.com (Read more about HouseFullCinema.com and the procedure/working here and here). It was such a breeze to be in for the First-Day-First-Show of Anwar at Abhilash!
Update: HouseFullCinema.com’s services for Kottayam theatres are paused for the time being. It’s expected to be back in action by next month (April 2011) or so.

Anupama Theatre is maintaining their own reservation system.
It’s currently through SMS. The format and details are given below:

UPDATE: HousefullCinema.com now provides online reservation for Anupama theatre too.

  • HouseFullCinema.com supports online payment via Credit Card / Debit Card / Netbanking.
  • Anupama Theatre’s system doesn’t include payment. Payment is to be done at the counter.
