We're proud to declare that Time Cinemas is our first Veezi user in India! We checked in with Jimit Shar in Gujarat over a virtual samosa and coke to hear about what makes their cinema so special.
What makes cinema in India different from anywhere else?
Cinema culture in India is truly unique—it’s not just entertainment; it’s an experience deeply woven into our social fabric. Audiences are highly engaged, and regional cinema thrives alongside Bollywood and Hollywood content. In India, entertainment is worshipped.
Sounds amazing! And how does Time Cinemas fit into that in Gujarat?
Independent in spirit, yet innovative in design, Time Cinemas offers a unique retreat in plain sight. Our carefully curated film lineup brings you the best of the big screen—blockbuster hits, timeless classics, foreign masterpieces, and independent gems—all in a cozy, elegant setting.
What’s affecting the industry in your region?
Like the rest of the world, India experienced significant Covid shutdowns, with theatres closed for extended periods. While recovery has been gradual and will take a couple more years to fully stabilize, we’ve found that offering premium experiences, diverse content, and special pricing has been key to bringing audiences back. The demand for regional films and blockbuster spectacles has surged, making content curation more critical than ever.
Not to make it all about us, but what do you like about using Veezi?
We’re thrilled with how Veezi’s platform is streamlining our operations. Its cloud-based infrastructure and intuitive UI have significantly simplified our processes, allowing us to focus on enhancing the customer experience while reducing costs and staying ahead of the curve. Automation has been a game-changer, especially with Veezi seamlessly linking our TMS. Features like cloud ticketing, scheduling, and reporting have helped us save time and minimize manual workload. Once we fully integrate with the YourCinema website, we anticipate even greater efficiency in managing online bookings and customer engagement.
