    Cine Nacional

    If you’re feeling up for a bit of grim local grime, you’ve found the place at the Nacional. It’s dismal, dark and dank, but with unique appeal if you’re looking for an unforgettable dose of Bollywood. Just make sure you don’t have too much soft drink, as the only filmic quality the toilets possess is their likeness to a certain scene in Trainspotting. Films are shown about four times daily; check at the box office for current screenings.

    Raj Mandir Cinema

    The number-one Hindi cinema in India, Raj Mandir is an icon of Jaipur. Opened in 1976, this creamy meringue construction looks good enough to eat. It’s usually full, despite its immense size, but bookings can be made one hour to seven days in advance at Windows 7 and 8. Alternatively, sharpen your elbows and join the queue when the current booking office opens 45 minutes before the curtain goes up.
