Watched a movie at the Jio Drive-in Theatre: 3 pros & 3 cons

The rows are for sedans and SUVs alternately and a lot of people don’t follow that.

BHPian libranof1987 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

We recently visited the drive-in cinema, purely for the experience, than the movie itself. Here are our observations:

Pros:

  • Very well managed and organizedDecent food options, and clean restrooms
  • The experience can be pretty fun, you can make a picnic out of it, or have a private date within the car
  • Decent projection quality, and sound through the car stereo

Cons:

  • Poor acoustics if you’re outside the car
  • A lot of people inadvertently step on the brake; the brake lights are very bright and harsh (esp. given the darkness) on those sitting behind – I had to remind the car in front of us thrice to take his foot off. A similar problem to a lesser degree with cars that have bright DRLs
  • MOSQUITOES! Makes sitting outside almost impossible. They do have mosquito repellant vapour every few metres, but it can’t be effective, given that it’s open air

The rows are for sedans and SUVs alternately and a lot of people don’t follow that (as in GTO’s image as well). Off chance that your view is hindered if a tall SUV is parked in front of you, when ideally that row is for sedans

This experience is best if you’re going as a couple. Any more, and someone has to sit out, and the mosquitoes won’t allow that.

I carried camping chairs just so we could chill outside; alas, mosquitoes made them useless
