Vastu for Multiplex
A multiplex combines cinema, retail, and food courts. Vastu should support footfall, comfortable viewing, safe utilities, and smooth vertical circulation across floors.

Overall Complex Planning
Keep atriums and lobbies bright. Place heavier building mass and plant rooms toward South/West, and keep North-East comparatively open and clean.
- Main public entry preferably from North or East.
- Escalators/stairs should not choke the Brahmasthan.
- Food courts need strong exhaust and SE kitchen clusters where possible.
- Avoid toilets opening directly into premium lobby views.
