Death of single screens, multiplex cinemas take their position
On one hand city seems to be busy in welcoming branded multiplex cinemas but on the other hand the single screen cinemas are dying. Single screen cinemas that were once thronged by audience in large numbers are struggling due to many reasons. Some have already closed their doors since they faced heavy losses.They were once the most celebrated source of entertainment that introduced the city to movies from Bollywood, Hollywood and Pollywood. But now, no one cares for them albeit they offer a magnificent movie experience than the cinemas of a multiplex.
The government may have taken away entertainment tax from these cinemas but the owners and managers still have to face the struggle. Most single screens have more than 1000 seats but only few seats get occupied. Management of these cinemas brought to the notice of HT team that they hardly to do any business since their cinemas are not getting any audience due to which most of time they have to cancel the shows.
There was time when only cinema showcased one movie with only 4 shows in a day but today one movie is being shown all the multiplex cinemas which makes about more than 40 shows in a day of the movie. Shockingly, more such multiplexes are about to open in the coming months which will shatter us completely.
