Swiggy Delivery Nightmare!!!!! I’m absolutely frustrated with Swiggy right now. I placed a prepaid order worth ₹1200 last night from Amadora.

I called the delivery agent immediately after the status updated, and the moment I started explaining, he hangs up on me and doesn't pick up the call later. I thought Swiggy support would help, but nope! I reached out via chat and call, and all they told me was they can’t do anything. Excuse... 1 0 replies

Movie Experience in Chennai I recently had a truly frustrating movie-watching experience at Sathyam Cinemas. Despite the premium pricing, the quality of the viewing experience was severely compromised. The constant disruptions caused by people entering from CIFF were infuriating. Their loud conversations, unnecessary laughter, and intrusive comments completely ruined the immersion. It's disheartening to see such a lack of consideration for fellow moviegoers, especially in a reputed theater like Sathyam. I expected a more respectful and quiet environment, but this experience was a major letdown. It's a shame that such a basic expectation... 5 0 replies
