Question about sentences

Dear all,

Yesterday I watched a "malayalam" movie named "Mamangam" from a movie theatre named "Dhanya". How a native English speaker express this idea? One of my friends advised me that I should say "I am at the movies/cinemas yesterday to watch the malayalam movie "Mamangam". If I say like this I cannot mention the theatre from which I watched the movie. I have to mention the movie theatre's name as well. Kindly tell me whether the following expression is correct. If wrong, please correct it.


1) I watched the malayalam movie "Mamangam" from Dhanya Theatre.


Thank you.
