Describing itself as ‘central Delhi’s first luxury multiplex’, Delite graduated from a single-screen theatre to a two-screen multiplex in 2006. Since then it has seen six renovations. Photos: Pradeep Gaur/Mint.

Shiela cinema, reportedly on the verge of closure, was designed by architect Habib Rahman, who designed Delhi landmarks like Rabindra Bhavan and the Hindustan Times building.

The men’s loo at the Premium Lounge of PVR (where the maximum ticket costs Rs350 on weekends) has small TV screens, dimmers and an infuser that emits lemon-grass fragrance.

The women’s loo for Delite’s balcony class has Italian marble. Like it, the men’s loo too has waiting couches.

Costing Rs40 each, the samosa served at Delite’s food counter is one of the biggest in Delhi. Introduced in 2000, it is called Maha Samosa. The French fry-making machine and the chuski making machine have been imported from the US.
