Innovative? Film City



Getting a free ticket was the only reason i ended up going to Innovative Film City in banglore..uh well just outside banglore. The only reason some people come here is because of free tickets. I saw so many people carrying free tickets from various shops and stuff.

The first sight was a huge pink building whose structure made me feel the situation to have been a " Haste makes Waste" one. Random advertisement banners were hung all over building. Advertisements included the places to visit inside the film city. I promptly saw the restaurent advertisement and knew some part of the day atleast would be fun.

Car Parked in the hot sun, very innovative. Finally i got the opportunity to get in to the place after a thorough body feeling by a security guard checking for bombs. Seriously, if i was a terrorist i definitely would have chosen a better place. Then came the part of the film city that resembles some european empire.They made sure people dont comment on its stupidity by putting a "Still Under Construction " board. Then there was a paint-ball arena where there is no actual paint-balling. They give a you a paint-ball gun with the balls(no paint ) and we get to shoot baloons. Yaay!. Then there was a Ripley's Mirror Maze arena. Probabaly the best part of the Film City. Beautifully Designed in such a way that you cannot find the right path due to the mirror reflections. Then to compensate for the Awesomness there is Dinosaur World. It was filled with models of dinosaurs whose tails where shaking . It was accompanied by annoying dinosaur noises. I immediately started searching for the exit. Just Before th exit, there was information about dinosaur mating. Good God !.Then there was a small joke of Roller Coaster which was similar to any train in India. Then there was a fake beach. It was very well planned, Clean water and sand around it. There were a few beach beds which overflowed with bags of people who did not want to put it on the sandy ground. Then there was a go karting lane for kids , so thats not my area. Then there was heavenly food. Ate as much as i could . That was the Happiest Part of the day.Then There was a Ripleys believe it or not exhibition which you get bored after the first 2 awesome facts.

It also has madame tussaud's wax museum which was quite life like. But after such a boring day i really could not appreciate it much. Then there was a scary mansion which i initially refused to go. But due to insults from sister i had to go in. It was in a single word, Lame. Just random skeletons hanging around and making noises.The finale was a 4D theatre which was quite good except for the fact that they showed dinosaur movies. Overall a Boring Place. Some things are well thought of, but most of the things are quite lame . And seriously, Could they have not come up with a better tag line than "what a place ". and the music played around is pure torture. A baby voice thats repeats " innovative film city " in the same tune for the rest of its life.
If you are thinking of going there as you are bored at home , Think Again !
