PVR Grand Mall Velachery is one of South-Central Chennai’s most consistently patronised and most conveniently located multiplex cinema destinations — a PVR INOX operated cinema housed on the 3rd floor of Grand Square Mall at No. 137, Tambaram Velachery Road, Velachery, serving the enormous residential population of this rapidly developed South Chennai township that has grown into one of the city’s most vibrant and most infrastructure-rich localities over the past two decades. With a strong 4.2 out of 5 rating from over 27,750 reviews on Justdial, PVR Grand Mall Velachery has built a deeply loyal audience from the vast residential communities of Velachery, Medavakkam, Pallikaranai, Nanganallur, Madipakkam, and the surrounding South-Central Chennai catchment.
Velachery’s transformation from a relatively underdeveloped South Chennai suburb into a major residential and commercial hub represents one of Chennai’s most significant urban development stories of the past quarter century. The combined effect of MRTS railway connectivity arriving in the 1990s, metro rail addition in the 2010s, IT corridor proximity along OMR, and massive private residential construction has created a neighbourhood of extraordinary density and diversity. PVR Grand Mall Velachery has grown with this neighbourhood — becoming an established cultural institution rather than merely a commercial entertainment venue in a community that now counts hundreds of thousands of households within easy travelling distance.

Location and Address
PVR Grand Mall Velachery is located on the 3rd Floor of Grand Square Mall at No. 137, Tambaram Velachery Road, V.O.C. Nagar, Dr. Seetharam Nagar, Velachery, Chennai — 600042. The Tambaram Velachery Road (also called Velachery Tambaram Road) is one of South Chennai’s most important arterial roads — connecting Velachery township with Tambaram in one direction and with the Guindy and Adyar corridors in the other, running through the heart of one of Chennai’s most densely developed residential zones. This road is lined with commercial establishments serving the massive residential population that the adjacent streets, apartment blocks, and housing colonies represent.
Grand Square Mall at No. 137 is a well-established local commercial landmark in Velachery — known to all residents of the immediate neighbourhood and easily identifiable from Tambaram Velachery Road by its prominent signage and commercial presence. The Dr. Seetharam Nagar and V.O.C. Nagar address components identify the specific residential sub-areas immediately adjacent to the mall — providing navigational context that Velachery residents use for precise location identification.
The 3rd floor cinema position within Grand Square Mall requires visitors to navigate through the mall’s lower commercial floors — a standard vertical mall journey through elevator or escalator access that provides natural exposure to the mall’s retail and dining offerings en route to the cinema level.
Connectivity — Getting to PVR Grand Mall Velachery
By Chennai Metro — Green Line Direct Service
Chennai Metro’s Green Line (Line 2) provides the most modern and most comfortable public transport access to PVR Grand Mall Velachery. Velachery Metro Station on the Green Line serves as the direct metro gateway to the Velachery commercial and cinema zone — the station’s position within the Velachery commercial area makes the walk or short auto connection to Grand Square Mall entirely practical. The Green Line connects Velachery northward through Alandur (where Blue Line interchange provides airport connectivity), Guindy, Saidapet, and toward Central Chennai stations — providing comprehensive north-south metro access from across the city.
From Central Chennai’s Anna Salai, Egmore, and Nungambakkam areas, the metro journey to Velachery takes approximately 25–35 minutes with the air-conditioned comfort that Chennai’s intense heat and humidity make particularly valuable compared to road alternatives. From the OMR IT corridor, Perungudi connectivity through connecting roads to the Velachery metro station enables technology park employees living in OMR-adjacent areas to reach the cinema efficiently.
By MRTS and Suburban Railway
Velachery MRTS Station is approximately 10 minutes walking distance from Grand Square Mall, providing suburban rail connectivity from Chennai Beach, T. Nagar, and other MRTS-served localities. Velachery Railway Station is an extraordinary 4 minutes walking distance from the mall — the shortest railway station-to-cinema walking distance of any Chennai multiplex, making this cinema genuinely accessible to rail passengers with immediate connection from platform to mall. EMU suburban train services on the Chennai-Velachery MRTS line operate from early morning to midnight, covering all practical show timings.
This extraordinary combination of Chennai Metro, MRTS, and suburban railway access at Velachery creates one of the most multi-modal transit-connected cinema destinations in all of Tamil Nadu — visitors from virtually any part of Chennai’s transit-served areas can reach PVR Grand Mall Velachery through rail transit without requiring private vehicle usage.
By Bus
TNSTC and MTC bus routes 51A, 70W, 91V, A51, A51 DLX, E51, M45, D70, and multiple additional services serve Velachery Railway Station area stops within 3–5 minutes walking distance of Grand Square Mall. The concentration of bus routes at Velachery’s important junction — where MRTS, metro, and major arterial roads intersect — creates one of Chennai’s most bus-dense cinema access points. Visitors from T. Nagar, Adyar, Perungudi, Tambaram, and dozens of other localities have direct or near-direct bus options.
By Road
Tambaram Velachery Road provides direct arterial road access from both Tambaram (southward) and Guindy-Adyar (northward) — the standard approach road for vehicle visitors from across Chennai’s southern residential areas. From OMR connecting roads through Perungudi, Sholinganallur, and Medavakkam, Tambaram Velachery Road is accessible without requiring extensive central city routing. Mall parking charges have been noted by reviewers as relatively expensive — the extraordinary transit connectivity makes non-vehicle attendance a genuinely practical alternative for most Chennai visitors.

Booking Platforms
PVR Grand Mall Velachery tickets are bookable through the PVR INOX app providing full access to loyalty benefits and app-exclusive offers.
