Priya Cinema Hall, perhaps one of the most iconic cinema halls of the city is scheduled to reopen on Thursday, February 21 after being shut down for the last six months. The hall was closed for six months after a fire broke out during a late-night show back in August 2018. Since then renovation work was going on inside the hall as some parts of it were heavily damaged. The hall is now fully refurbished with state of the art fire safety equipment installed and the structure which is roughly sixty-five years old totally repaired. The seating arrangement is also redesigned and the number of seats has been cut down to 540 from 930 seats, increasing the leg space and recliner sofas being installed. The lobby too has been redone.
Priya Cinema Hall situated in Rashbehari Avenue will open its gates with a special screening of Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne by Satyajit Ray. Celebrities like Prosenjit Chatterjee, Kaushik Ganguly, Arindam Sil, Gautam Ghosh, Abir Chatterjee apart from others will attend the special screening. The Managing Director of Priya Entertainment Private Limited, Arijit Dutta said,
After receiving license from the Fire department, the theatre will be restarted on Thursday evening, where we will have a special screening of Goopy Gyne Bagha Byne in the original black and white 35 mm print. We have particularly selected this movie for the screening as I feel that it is the most iconic Bengali movie ever made, which is of concern to the general public nationally as well as internationally.
