    सरदारजी ने सच कहा।
    कितना बढ़िया समय जिया है इन्होंने,
    सिंगल स्क्रीन खत्म हो रहे है, मल्टीप्लेक्स ने सब बर्बाद कर दिया।
    इन सब सीनियर सिटीजन्स को सादर आभार।

    The owner's and the employees' attachment to the cinema house has been beautifully portrayed in the video. Unfortunate but true that a large number of single screen theatres all over the country have permanently closed down. Others are at the point of closing shop for good.

    Decades of fun, entertainment and memories are connected to such Historical film venues. It is very saddening to see an old theater that graced numerous hit films of legendary stars go and closed down in this manner. Multiplexes may be the present choice and trend of today but, at the same time these historical single screen big cinemas deserve to be given due attention before they become extinct.

    The best class here was not the DC/Balcony but something else. Though it was behind the 1st class on the ground floor, yet it was the most expensive one. One could sit on a grand sofa, made of expensive wood, all by yourself. If I am not mistaken, each block could sit 4 people and there was a lot of privacy, as you could lock the door too. One bad thing was, that the toilet was on the 1st floor, which was inside the DC/Balcony, so everytime someone went to the toilet, it disturbed the back benches.
    With Dolby Digital and a big screen, it was better than Rivoli behind it but could not match the splendour of then single screen Odeon and Plaza. When I came to Delhi in 2000, it already wore a worn out look and it seemed the seats and upholstery had not been replaced for 2 to 3 decades. But the good thing was, it was cheaper than Odeon and Plaza. However, the 1st and 2nd class was not the kind where you would want to sit. I watched Suniel Shetty's Dhadkan more than 5 times in Regal, it helped me lessen my home sickness and depression that I used to feel as this was the 1st time I had left home (Bihar, now Jharkhand) to study in Delhi. I didn't know then that Dhadkan would become such a big hit. I would sometimes take the 615 bus directly from JNU campus which would drop me straight at the gates of Regal (and also Plaza when I went there). Thanks to the free student bus pass.
    Regal, though not Regal at all, made me feel at home because of its dinginess, rusticity and worn out interiors, which resembled the cinema hall of my small township in Jharkhand. I must say that even when I went to Chanakya or Golcha or Delite, which were 5-starish, it was Regal, which for some reason, bound me to it, probably because of its 1930s oldish, British looks and the fact that it was in the heart of Connaught Place.

    Sorry to know Regal is not there anymore. I used to go there and see movies there during my youth in Delhi but most of the single screen theaters from those days are gone. The ones that I remember and are not there anymore are Kumar, Mjaestic, Moti, Ritz, and probably others that I used to visit. Do not know what happened to Novelty, Sheila, Naaz, Westend, Amar, Excelsior. There were two others in Cannaught place area, Rivoli right next Regal and Palace.

    Regal was a legacy..... I was born in 1983 and saw so many movies at Regal with my family to my Girlfriend.... I guess first movie that I saw on regal was Tezaab and last movie with my girlfriend Jab we met.....
    Problem was they didn't bring any changes in the theatre with the time .... Even when I watched the last movie Jab We Met, the sound system of the theatre was pathetic.... I couldn't hear the single dialogue properly whereas other theaters were using Dolby digital.....
    Anyways still Regal was the the most iconic and oldest classic theatre of not just Delhi and India and very special memories are attached to it....

    Everywhere gardens with flowersome trees
    Regal Cinema, in my memories
    In New Delhi, Cannaught Place white
    Here I saw many dawn sunlight
    I was there by train from UP
    Overnight journey, felt some sleepy
    For me all was just like dream
    Looked all coated with milk cream
    That daybreak was closed with Regal
    With our souls, that flying eagle
    Ups and downs for our enjoy
    We were childs with our great toy
    That Govinda starcast film was nice
    Behind Regal building, I took kadhi- rice
    At night I took prayagraj express
    Surroundings of Regal Cinema made me impress
    That type of trip, I again and again
    Its my pleasure this trip's chain
    With great salutes, the truth is in it's favour
    In our members, Regal Cinema forever.
    ♥️🙏

    The place i am living in have many multiplexes which formerly had been single screens but had been converted looking at the current generation. So blaming just the government for your own incompetency is not justified.

    • @arjanseble2464
      @arjanseble2464 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mr Pachauri those single screens have been converted to multiplexes with the help of something called land use change policy which these cinemas haven’t been given despite court orders and change in centre policy, so it’s not their incompetence that has lead to the closure of these cinemas but the failure and corruption and greed of the Indian beuracratic system which has failed them.
