- Cinema under Stars.
Watching movies transports us to places we have never been to before. It allows us a visceral escape albeit temporarily from the humdrum of our daily lives. Movies allow us a view to a wider world, expanding our minds, and shaping our worldview. For such a sensorial act it is only fit that the experience be grand as well.
Lost the Plot, Pune’s first and only Rooftop Cinema is the perfect place for such an experience.
The casual, warm, intimate, and quirky ambience complete with complete access to the starry night sky, makes movie watching here a complete treat. With every screening Lost the Plot aims to bring to their audiences a unique experience to create an enriching film culture.
Along with being the only open-air cinema in the city, this venue is a vibrant platform for other forms of art such as poetry, drama, and music.

Communities help people come together to connect and engage on mutual interests and issues.
With the increase in technology in all aspects of our lives and the decrease in the human touch and element in most areas, the need for communities where people can share, support, and inspire each other is even greater.
