See & do

📍

The city has several single screen cinemas which are now in a dilapidated condition due to the arrival of many high quality multiscreen cinemas, but you can still catch a movie at any one of the halls. It is recommended to go to a multiscreen cinema complex, where the cinematic experience can be easily compared to any movie hall in the world.

The city has more than a dozen malls with 4- or 5-screen multiplexes. Some of these are Fun Republic (Fun Cinemas) in Manimajra, DLF DT Cinema in IT Park, Green House Entertainment (Big Cinemas) and Centra Mall (PVR Cinema) in Phase 1, Industrial Area. Big Cinemas at Downtown Mall, Zirakpur on Chandigarh-Punjab border and Fame Cinemas at Shalimar Mega mall are new upcoming entertainment malls also easily accessible in the city. Many others malls and multiplexes are coming up in Chandigarh and around soon. The latest entrants are Elante mall and VR Punjab.
