Charming Movie Experience

The Mountbatten movie theater was a highlight of my stay! It felt like stepping into a private cinema designed for royalty. Watching a movie with friends while enjoying popcorn and sweets made the evening nice. Even though the sound system could have been improved, the overall private setting made it a unique experience.
