The Taj Cinema looks good in the photos but I wonder if the Victorian Railways will appreciate the cinema patrons utilising 300 free parking spaces at the Gardiner Station?

I haven't posted in quite a while as I have relocated to Dalby in Queensland to run a single screen cinema.

Regards,

Michael.

Welcome back Michael

Stan does the Taj screen Bollywood films with english subtitles? It would be fun to see some of the bollywood musicals.

Yes they do Peter,new films will have sub titles in english.

Michael.
It is more of a council car park, because of it TAJ was given the permit to open the cinema, so nothing to do with the railways.
Besides, the car park is near empty at night.

Peter,
"Fun to se Bollywood Musicals"?!?!

Are you out of your mind!
The most fun thing with bollywood musicals is "THE END", when you gey to put it back in the box and get paid for screening it.

Yeah actually the odd one can be entertaining.

Craig I have shown both HINDI and TAMIL films at several sites in melb, and apart from the traumer of makeing up 3 hours of film on flats, with no cores, wrong heads and tails in cans, and 15 mins to show time in a venue your not used to, you can enjoy in most cases a well made movie.
It also helps to have sub titles which most now have,at the TAJ I can go to enjoy a differant type of movie,or a visit to a friendly and comfortable box.

Regards
Stan.
