The Atria Mall at Worli Mumbai is beyond doubt the best Shopping Mall in Mumbai, it started off a year earlier around June 2006. At that time there were a very few shops which were open.
Being my favourite place to have a walk between hrs of work stress or even enjoy the free times between work, i started to frequent the place from October 2006( a time when there were more than 1/2 shops vacant in the mall). The mall reminded me of the malls in Singapore. With an identical look construction and concept, we could easily term it as a copy of a Singapore Mall. I have seen this mall through from emptiness to full of brand names...
The mall has 3 levels and a Food court along with a ground floor. With all top Local as well as International brands like Guess, Levis, Kappa, Mango, Sepia, Promod, Reebok, Raymonds and Sony to name a few it has become a prestine place to shop. The food court too has a very good collection of eateries, with cuisines ranging from Sindhi, chinese, mughlai and italian to name a few.
There is an amusment park at the food court level for kids and fun lovers with a mini bumper car ride and a kids world. A 4d Orama theatre is there as well.
Recently this mall has been a center of some good events, namely...
-A few months back there was a 4 -5 day continuous musical event performed by some indian musicians trying to make a mark by going into the records for playing the musical instruments continuously for a really long time.
-Just day before yesterday (16/7/07) there was a lively energetic shoot for an advertisement for Samsung Mobile phones featuring some of the hottest models. I had never seen an advertisement shoot in person before this. So the very first such event was a memorable event. The scene was more of a lighted dance/bar club with people dancing all over. The ground level was full of 20-25 models occupying their places waiting for the directors GO. It was sort of amazing to see all of them immediately turning from a static state to immediately starting to dance as soon as the music started as if someone had switched their buttons On. I am waiting to see the ad on Television.
-Today(18/7/07) while walking into Atria Mall after lunch, there were preparations going on for another shoot for Airtel prepaid card. This advertisement involved none other than Shah Rukh Khan. And there i got another chance to see SRK in close up to 5 feet away from me enacting for the advertisment. He seemed to be a pretty humble person with a smile on his face. He had to put in bunny teeth for the advertisement as it looked ot me a comedy enactment.
So i beleive this is the begining of the shopping Mall era in Mumbai.
