Marmavirivakkam Cinemas

What starts as a regular reunion between five twenty-somethings turns into one hell of a night, complete with awkward exes, unresolved drama, bad tequila decisions, and one last-minute plan to "sober up" by crashing a midnight movie.

But Marmavirivakkam Cinemas isn't your average local theatre. Behind the scenes, a crooked politician, a desperate film producer, and a looming hit job are about to collide with the most unsuspecting group of friends. And then, just when you think it can't get wilder, someone gets trapped inside the movie screen. Yeah. Literally.

Written by Gautham Vijayaraj, this debut issue is a wild genre mashup of nostalgic friend-group chaos, political thriller, and a touch of sci-fi madness. Think of The Last Action Hero, but inside a dusty single-screen theatre with too many secrets. If you've ever wondered what would happen if real life and reel life crashed into each other at 2 a.m., this is your answer.
