#Kolkata: Devi extinguished them one by one. This time Padmashree, the oldest cinema hall of Tollygunge, is going to be closed. Sources said the present owners of the 720-seat hall are three families. They all finally agreed to sell the hall. The search has begun for a buyer who can buy the hall at a reasonable price. Many people are saying that Kaushik Gangopadhyay’s film ‘Cinemawaleke’ seems to be implemented again and again.
Single screen multiplexes in every corner of the city have been the talk of the town for a long time. The owners of these halls try their best to provide manpower to the employees. This is why Mitra, one of Kolkata’s most traditional halls, has been closed in the past. This time the Padma Shri Cinema Hall built above fifty is walking on the same path.
Padma Shri is one of the oldest cinema halls in South Kolkata. The hall was inaugurated in 1970, which was the golden age of Bengali cinema. Many famous pictures have been released from this Padma Shri. The popularity of the hall among the audience was also very high. But the existence of single screen in the globalization market is the only responsibility.
For this reason, the ancient Metro Cinema Hall in Dharmatala was closed a few days ago. Although the cinema hall started in a new way. However, it was not possible to return to the single screen. The hall turned into a dazzling Enix.
Since then the situation in Corona has worsened. The authorities have lost their way as the halls have been closed for a long time due to the development of Covid. As a result, owners don’t see any chance of single screen returning to the achche din.
Let us tell you that according to the recent rules, this time cinema halls are also opening in the state. For now, the doors of Quest, Metro, Swabhoomi, Salt Lake City Center, Liluah and Madhyamgram Annex are also open. However, many cinema halls are still closed due to lack of audience. Infrastructure testing, sanitation is being done a lot.
