Watch | Cine Suvai: This Madurai restaurant brings Tamil cinema to your table

Cine Suvai, a unique restaurant in Madurai, is inspired by popular Tamil movie hits and iconic movie scenes. The setting of the 300-seater restaurant is inspired by the old Art Deco theatres.

The restaurant frontage has billboards similar to movie posters and currently has actor Vijay’s Beast poster popping up. ‘Lakshmi’, a famous taxi from Rajnikanth’s Padikadhavan, is parked inside the restaurant.
