Bengaluru is no stranger to change. The newest addition to its ever-changing landscape is the Forum Rex Walk mall on Brigade Road.
This is where the iconic Rex Cinema Hall once stood, before the building was demolished in 2018 and restructured by the Prestige Group.
Come December 9th, the mall will welcome India’s third and South India’s first Director’s Cut by PVR Cinemas.
The cinema has five thematic movie auditoriums - Library, Venetian, Lounge, Gallery and Grove . With a total of 243 seats, audis at PVR Director’s Cut are equipped with Dolby 7.1 Surround System, 4K screens and automated Spyder projectors.
The viewing experience will be complemented with a bar lounge and a gourmet menu curated by premium chefs.
The Director’s Cut is a far cry from the old world charm of single-screen theatres like Rex. Here, cinema viewing is luxury reincarnated, says the PVR management.
The 180-degree recliner chairs have been designed keeping in mind the comfort of the audience. They also include individual amenities like wet wipes, blankets, reading lights and call buttons for services.
Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
