Mumbai's iconic Chitra Cinema shuts down, 'SOTY 2' last film screened

Mumbai, May 18 (ANI): After seven decades of its successful run, Mumbai's legendary Chitra Cinema, which had made a place in people's hearts, has shut down. Curtains were drawn on the iconic theatre, located in Dadar East, due to poor business. The single screen auditorium stopped operating and the last screening was of Tiger Shroff-starrer 'Student Of The Year 2' at 9:30 pm. Dara Mehta, who is the third generation owner of the cinema hall, revealed that the theatre wasn't minting good money. He shared that the business on weekdays was poorer. Mehta had taken over the business of Chitra Cinema from his father in 1982. Speaking to ANI, Mehta said on weekends, the cinema hall would witness good footfalls, but on weekdays, it hardly added any collection to the business. The single-screen theatre served as the ultimate destination for Hindi film buffs who would line up to watch films like Sholay, Deewar, and several other blockbusters. Some of the most iconic Hindi films have been screened
