'GVK One' is Hyderabad's biggest and brightest Mall!

I along with my wife visited the recently opened ‘GVK One’ Shopping mall at Road No.1, Banjara Hills, on16th June. It is the best of all malls I have seen in Hyderabad. It is very grand and would look much better as all the shops come up. The mall was actually inaugurated on 1^st May and my son Srikanth who has already seen a couple of movies at the INOX theatres on the top floor advised us to go there after more shops come up. However we went there to buy a gold chain on 16^th June a day after Meena Jewelers opened their show-room. Being a new show-room many attractive ornaments were on display and we bought the one in the above picture, quite an old design but well made.

In the last few years many malls, department stores and multiplex theaters have come up in Hyderabad like Shoppers Stop, Lifestyle, Hyderabad Central, City Centre, Prasad’s IMAX and so on. But ‘GVK One’ is bigger and brighter. Shoppers stop has its outlets on three floors of ‘GVK One’ showcasing international brands. Few other outlets open now are Crossword, Neeru’s, Provogue, Bossini, Levis, Addidas, Nike, Meena Jewelers, Arcade gaming etc. I am told that the floor area of the mall is 6.25 lakh square feet and that the multi level basement parking can accommodate 750 Cars. It has a six screen multiplex on the top floor. There is only one eatery KFC as of now, unlike an entire floor of restaurants in City Centre. Then there is a huge round aquarium on the ground floor with many big colorful fishes. It may be around 10feet in diameter and 10feet high and is a big attraction at the mall. I found many people around it as we were crisscrossing in the mall.

As it is just 7 Kms. from our house and Car parking is not a problem it will surely become a place to visit frequently, more for movies and sometimes for shopping.
