BookMyShow | Movies & Events 15.1.0

BookMyShow helps you decide each evening where on the Indian sub-content is worth going down for a movie. As you may know Indian cinema (or Bollywood) has quite an impressive turnout of films coming out each year. Some of them might trickle out to western audiences. However, if you want to get the full Bollywood experience, you must go to a cinema there (alternatively, you can try the torrents).

In BookMyShow you will first need to select your city, most important cities being shown at the top of the list. From then on you will be presented with show categories. BookMySHow is not only about movies. It also tracks plays, sports and cultural events, as well as other types of events that are filed under 'Experiences'.

Regarding movies however, finding your show can be done in two ways. Find it in the Movies section, and then pick a venue that shows it. The other way is to select a venue and see what's showing. BookMyShow displays a condensed calendar on top of the screen on which you can navigate between days when tickets are available for purchase. There are also icons showing which cinema venue offers reservations or mobile tickets. Of course once you select a cinema (or movie), you can opt for the hour, type of ticket and number of tickets that you want to purchase. Once that's done, you may select seats from a graphical representation of the theater. After that is done and settled, you must fill your email address and phone number in order to proceed to checkout.

For other kind of events, reservation/purchase is wither much more simple or different, depending on the type. For example, a soccer event will show a stadium layout and let you select a preferred stand (with the associated Rs. price).

You can also register an account with BookMyShow in order to pass quicker through checkouts (saving you credit card details) and get custom future recommendations depending on your attendance history.
