'Security like airport and a full menu': Ukrainian woman highlights surprising differences between India and European cinema halls

When Ukrainian content creator Sandra On visited Indian movie theatres, she discovered that watching a film in India is a completely different experience compared to Europe—and one detail left her especially surprised: the intermission.

From airport-style security checks to full meal menus and food delivery straight to your seat, Indian cinemas offer an experience that's far beyond simply watching a movie.

Food & Snacks

Indian multiplexes serve everything from popcorn in multiple flavours to complete meals. Unlike many European cinemas that typically offer popcorn, chips, and soft drinks, moviegoers in India can enjoy restaurant-style dining while watching a film.

Order Food From Your Seat

One feature that impressed Sandra was the ability to order food through an app after the movie has already started. Your snacks—or even a full meal—are delivered directly to your seat, making the cinema experience feel more like premium hospitality.
