Bombay Theatre

This is the best theatre available in flushing. The service is good and the the sound system. Best theatre best service always best movies

Much more organized staff and ticketing than in the past. Doing a great job of featuring current films including English features as well. Would definitely say that the theater seats needs updating but overall a decent space when people don’t act like animals shoving one another to get in. Kulfi vendor needs to be changed as well– tastes powdery and not enough fruit flavor.

This is my favorite place to watch an Indian movie mainly because I’ve been coming her since I was little and also because of two main points.
1) when you check in, you get a free small popcorn! YASSS
2) $ 5 Wednesdays ! #gujjuapproval
They also have samosas! Yayyy 3 for $ 5 which is not a bad deal. My advice for new movies — get there AT LEAST an hour earlier.
Enjoy and cheers

one of the original theaters for the past decade plus for the Bollywood Fix!!! Now with many bollywood movies making the multiplex, this place has improved significantly. On my recent visit, I have to admit, it has improved for the better. a few years ago, 2 stars would have been a gift, however its a great option as it has more bollywood movies than the local cinemas on the island.
simply put, if you’re a bollywood fan, this place will likely have the film you want to watch. The seats are comfortable, sound is decent and more importantly, the theater is pretty clean. Downside to the visit here, is the hassle of parking…

This is a great single auditorium theater that features foreign films, mostly Bollywood. Parking gets really tight during new film premiers but their recent reno is nice. The seats are bigger and more spacious and the overall layout is better. The concessions stand is much better and menu items have improved. I usually go here with family, because I, myself, have interest in Bollywood movies.

Wow Bombay theaters have changed so much since the last time I came to watch khabi kushi khabi ghum! And wow for the better love the entrance makes the ticket buying process so much smoother plus buying online is awesome!
Came here to watch pk and watched it I the amc theater on Times Square my experience was identical. Will definitely come again more often!

I know very little about Bollywood films, but I do know that this theater is awesome. Came here last week along with a friend to check out one of their bargain Wednesday films (Happy New Year was playing, if you were curious) and the place was packed. Despite that, this theater was pretty clean, given as to how many people were here. I’ve seen plenty of theaters that were absolutely filthy that had less than half the amount of people in them.
The concession stands sell samosas and possibly some other South Asian snacks. It’s a bit far for me, but I’d definitely trek out here for another movie viewing. I would like to say that if you do plan on going to a bargain Wednesday film, be sure to order your tickets online: the shows tend to sell out beforehand.

I don’t always watch Indian movies but when I do… the experience consists of me crying at least 10 times in a timespan of 4 hours.
We’ve been going to Bombay Theatre since I was 9 years old. YES 9 years old. I still remember watching my first Indian movie «hum saath saath hain». This theatre has definitely evolved over the years — waaaay cleaner and comfy seats.
They always have english subtitles so NOT TO WORRY my non-​brown friends. And its across the street from Bakhters — hello… grab some amazing food before/​after.
Like I said in my tip tickets are priced as follows: $ 5 tickets on Wednesdays, $ 7 on Sundays and $ 10 other days. Wednesdays the tickets do sometimes get sold out so get there early or buy them online — however each ticket has a fee to process it online.
We went yesterday to see Punjab 1984, it was an amazing movie and experience. I highly recommend you all to go and watch it.

Cheap tickets, Big screen, clean theater. The desi snacks are cheap and fresh. My go to theater for all my indian movies. The best part is, its across from bakhtar restaurant.

I heard lot about that theatre but never been there until last month. Once I go there I can’t believe, it’s real surprise for me, sound, interior every thing is very good. But I have only one compliant with those guys when I go next week they cancel the show. N they ruin my day. So plz confirm before you planning to watch movie.

Went to watch a movie today at Big Cinemas, Fresh Meadows. Extremely upset with the behavior of the person at the ticketing counter. First of all, when I entered the building, I had to wait for about 5 – 10 min at the counter since there was no body there. When this Indian guy (said he has been working there for the 12 years) eventually came, I just joking asked him if there’s anyone else in the hall today (cause it all seemed quite empty) to which he said — «thats one of the stupidest questions I have ever heard»! Yes, it was pretty shocking. Anyway when the movie started, I, and a few others around us, felt the volume to be too low to enjoy the movie. I stepped out of the hall and requested (very politely) this same Indian guy to increase the volume a bit, if possible. Pat came the reply — «I think you should go get your ears tested»!! Wow! What a way to earn repeat business. I’m NEVER going to that theater again. Saurabh

Smiling staff (at least the people I interacted with), nice big screen and comfy seats. I was able to buy tickets on the flixster app on my phone. Nice to have a Hindi movie theatre closeby. Prices are cheaper than Manhattan or AMC. They had subtitles in English as well. Friends kept saying «the screen flickered», I am not sure why.
Also it being just opposite of Bakhtar helps

We cross a bridge (paying NYC bridge tolls, the highest in the Tristate Area) and fight traffic on the Long Island Expressway to reach this theater. We are usually the only nonSouth Asians in the audience (we are lifelong New Yorkers who love Bollywood movies). It was beautifully renovated 2 years ago and has an excellent sound system. They show first run movies and serve excellent samosas. The friendly staff is knowledgeable and welcoming. Unless they move closer to us there would be no way to improve the experience. Go there!

6 dollars for a movie ticket! Being from Chicago, we don’t have a «desi» theater so this was a great experience for me and probably any desi who loves Bollywood movies and are not from Chicago. I saw Don 2 with my aunt, uncle, and cousins and loved sitting up all the one on top. The screen is like an IMAX screen, seats are incredibly comfortable, and it’s HUGE. Had chai and samosa’s (delicious but gave my cousin a tummy ache?) and I would definitely go back to watch a movie here next time in NYC!

I’ll make it short and hopefully, informative.
Before renovation — I would NOT have recommended.
After renovation and recently visiting, I certainly would highly recommend.

This is theatre is completely renovated and you will surprised. They did put a lot of effort into finally making it clean and classy.
Of course you shouldnt compare it to an IMAX.
We should be happy that we have such facilties to watch our bollywood movies right in our neighbourhood.

I visited this theatre yesterday with my grandma. Even though I went to PS 173Q ~15 years ago, I had never been here before. I was pleasantly surprised – it’s clean, comfortable, and spacious. The movie wasn’t that great and there were only a few people in the middle of the day on July 5^th, but we had a good time. Props for having samosas as snacks, too. I’d consider coming back if there was a movie worth watching. ($ 11 for adult tickets/​$ 8 for seniors)

First of the theater’s main guy who is at the box office often, dont know his name but he wears glasses and has stupid moustache, he is very mean and rude to customers he also behaves rude with his employees. 2^nd of all the theater screen is ok size but the sound system is horrible. Management has no idea about the sound system when i went to complain. The volume is like your watching tv latenight at home. such a rip of theater with stale popcorn, stale samosas which they charge alot of money for only 2. drinks are never with ice, claims that its cold but its not. Theater smells and witnessed the manager spraying regular air freshner instead of keeping the theater clean. And lastly their showtime sucks, never have enough gap. always ends the movie late and they dont even clean up the theater before the next show. Such a trash.

fyi: just so we’re clear, only bollywood movies are shown here.
that’s if the theatre name & the reference to green chutney & indian chai didn’t tip you off already. tee hee.
