This hall on Rajabazar crossing was inaugurated in the mid 30s. Sholay (1975) had run for 50 weeks at this theatre. Coolie (1983) had played for 30 and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) for 15 weeks in a row. Mithun Chakraborty had dropped by at the theatre when Jallaad (1995) was screened. Raja Hindustani (1996) had run houseful for two weeks straight. Shafiqul Islam Shabaz, whose grandfather had opened the hall, had done the first booking for this film. It had run for 12 weeks. Situation changed when multiplexes came up from 2005 onwards. The sales dropped drastically. To cut costs, the original staff strength came down from 40 to a meagre six. Escalating costs, dip in sale figures and lack of funds to pay staff's salary were some of the reasons to close down. December 31, 2015, was the last day of the screening.
