Previous Name : Russa Theatre
Purna Theatre was established as a public theatre in Bhabanipur in 1920. Purna Bandyopadhyay was the owner of the land. It was taken on lease by the Maitra family that owned Calcutta Chemicals. The reason was to build the Russa Theatre. But the business did not run for long. Purna Bandyopadhyay took back the land and started to run the theatre himself. This was the first cinema to be run by a Bengali. Dhirendranath Gangopadhyay’s Bilet Pherot was screened there. Purna Theatre changed to Purna cinema in 1931.
