Vivira Mall is a major shopping, dining and entertainment destination on Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) at Navalur in south Chennai. Its position in the city’s IT corridor makes it useful for residents, office-goers, students and families from Navalur, Siruseri, Sholinganallur and nearby OMR neighbourhoods. The mall combines fashion and footwear stores, electronics, groceries, home products, beauty outlets, restaurants, a food court and entertainment under one roof.
The complex remains active in 2026 with a practical mix of large-format anchors and everyday brands. The current mall directory lists Zudio, SMART Bazaar, Croma, Fashion Factory, Jockey, Reliance Footprint, Health & Glow, MR.DIY and several other stores. AGS Cinemas operates on the fifth floor, while bowling, arcade-style games and other family entertainment make the property more than a shopping stop. Visitors travelling for one particular outlet, restaurant or movie should still confirm its current hours because individual businesses can follow schedules different from the general mall timing.

Where it is located
Vivira Mall is at No. 33, Old Mahabalipuram Road in Navalur, Chennai 600130. The mall sits directly on the OMR or Rajiv Gandhi Salai corridor, between Sholinganallur and the Kelambakkam side of south Chennai. It is close to major residential developments, colleges and the Siruseri IT belt, so it attracts both local shoppers and people working along OMR. For cab or map searches, use “Vivira Mall, Navalur, OMR” to avoid confusion with other shopping centres farther north or south on the same road.
Shops and Brands at Vivira Mall
The current mall directory covers fashion, footwear, beauty, electronics, groceries, home products, luggage and family shopping. Prominent listings include Zudio, Jockey, SMART Bazaar, Fashion Factory, Health & Glow, Reliance Footprint, Bata, Khadim’s, Croma, American Tourister, Style Union, Royal Oak and MR.DIY. The mix also includes beauty and personal-care outlets, jewellery and accessory counters, stationery and smaller speciality shops.
Visitors making a special trip for a product should check the retailer directly before travelling. Large malls regularly change floor locations, store formats and promotional counters, and some official directory pages can remain visible during tenant transitions. For exchanges, warranties or repairs, carry the original bill and contact the specific store because there is no single mall-wide return policy.
Vivira Mall Timing
Vivira Mall commonly publishes general operating hours of about 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day. Some pages on the mall website display slightly different opening information, and individual stores can start later or close earlier. Restaurants and AGS Cinemas may operate beyond normal retail hours; the cinema itself lists service into the late evening and current show schedules include late-night screenings. Visitors arriving only for a late film should follow the cinema booking time and the entry instructions given for after-hours access.
Restaurants, Cafes and Food Court
Vivira Mall has a broad food mix for quick meals, snacks, coffee and family dining. Current official listings include KFC, Domino’s, Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Absolute Barbecue, WOW! Momo, Madras Coffee House, Chinese Wok, Subway, Tirupathi Bhimas, The Waffle Shop and several smaller food-court counters. The exact mix can change as kiosks and short-term food concepts rotate.
The food court works well for mixed groups because people can order different cuisines and use shared seating. Table-service restaurants are a better choice for longer meals or celebrations, but weekend evenings can be crowded because dining demand overlaps with movie traffic. Groups should check reservations, last-order times and any buffet or child-pricing rules directly with the chosen restaurant.
Cinema and Entertainment Status
AGS Cinemas at Vivira Mall is active on the fifth floor and has current movie schedules in 2026. Listings show multiple daily screenings with 4K presentation and Dolby 7.1 or Dolby Atmos available for selected shows. Languages and formats depend on the film, so moviegoers should check the exact show label, age certificate, reporting time and cancellation terms before payment.
The mall also promotes family entertainment beyond movies. Its entertainment pages list Fun & Bowling with an arcade and bowling alley on the fourth floor, along with other play and 7D-style attractions. Session timing, game availability, age limits and pricing can be different from the mall’s general hours, so visitors going mainly for an activity should confirm it separately.
Facilities Available
- Multi-level car parking for mall visitors.
- Lifts and escalators connecting the public floors.
- Restrooms and regular common-area services.
- Food court with shared seating and multiple dining choices.
- Play and entertainment areas for children and families.
- Security screening and staffed public areas.
The mall describes its parking as spread across multiple levels. Parking tariffs, validation rules and late-night exit arrangements can change, so read the board at the entrance and keep the parking ticket. It is also useful to photograph the level, bay and nearest lift before entering the shopping floors, especially when returning after a late movie.
Connectivity to Vivira Mall
By Bus
Bus connectivity is one of the easiest public-transport options for Vivira Mall because the complex is directly on OMR. Current route information places the A.G.S Complex Navallur stop only a short walk from the mall, while Navalur stops are also nearby. Services along the corridor connect toward Sholinganallur, Thiruvanmiyur, Tambaram, Kelambakkam and other parts of Chennai. Route numbers and stopping patterns can change, so check the live direction before boarding.
By Railway
Vivira Mall is not beside a suburban railway station. Velachery and Tambaram are useful major rail references for visitors approaching from different parts of Chennai, but both require a road transfer to Navalur. Tambaram can be convenient for suburban and long-distance trains, while Velachery is useful from the MRTS side. A cab or connecting bus is normally required for the final OMR stretch.
By Metro
There is no operational Chennai Metro station at Navalur as of August 2026. Chennai Metro Phase II includes the OMR corridor toward Siruseri SIPCOT, but the line is still under construction. Visitors using the existing Metro network should plan a bus or cab connection for the remaining journey rather than expecting a direct Metro stop at the mall.
By Road, Auto or Cab
Old Mahabalipuram Road, also called Rajiv Gandhi Salai, is the main road approach. App-based cabs, autos and private vehicles can reach the mall from Sholinganallur, Perungudi, Thoraipakkam, Siruseri, Kelambakkam and the ECR-link roads. OMR traffic can slow considerably during office peaks, rain and weekend evenings. Moviegoers should leave a buffer before fixed showtimes and use the exact mall entrance as the pickup point after a late show.
Nearby Areas and Landmarks
Navalur, Egattur, Siruseri, Semmenchery, Sholinganallur, Padur and Kelambakkam are useful nearby area references. SIPCOT IT Park Siruseri and several major educational campuses lie along the wider OMR corridor. The Marina Mall is another shopping destination nearby on OMR but is a separate property, so visitors should check the map pin before starting the trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the safest meeting point for a group arriving separately?
Choose the AGS Cinemas ticketing area, a named ground-floor store or the reception of a specific restaurant. “Meet at the entrance” can be unclear because people may arrive from parking, the OMR frontage or different internal access points.
Q. Why can the cinema address look slightly different from the mall address online?
Movie-ticket platforms sometimes use older property names, alternate plot details or a different postal code for the same Navalur complex. Match the venue name with Vivira Mall/AGS Cinemas on OMR and the Navalur location before booking a cab.
Q. Can shoppers leave the mall and return for a late AGS show?
Usually the cinema continues after normal retail activity, but late-entry routes may be restricted to selected doors or lifts. Check the cinema instruction before leaving the building so you know which access point remains open.
Q. What should drivers do if they forget where the car is parked?
Contact mall security or the parking desk and provide the vehicle number, approximate entry time and any ticket details. Photographing the parking level and the nearest lift lobby when you arrive is the easiest way to avoid this problem.
Q. Is Vivira Mall a practical stop for people working in the Siruseri IT corridor?
Yes, its Navalur location makes it practical for an after-work meal, grocery purchase or movie without travelling toward central Chennai. Office-hour traffic on OMR can still add time, so allow a buffer for evening plans.
Q. What should parents check before paying for arcade or bowling activities?
Ask about age or height restrictions, footwear or socks, session duration, supervision, re-entry and whether unused credits expire. Activity rules and pricing can change independently of the mall's general schedule.
