1954 Art Decco Cinema

When it opened in 1954, Delite Cinema was the tallest building in Delhi! The shows still find loyal patronage

Fablous post @curatorofmemory :+1:
I loved the views of the old cinema house, we all miss them a lot.
Glad to see that it is still running.

We also had these retro cinema theatres in Aurangabad in Maharashtra.
Many of them have been taken over by big brands like PVR, etc. and converted into Malls + Theatres. Sad.

Please include the Google Maps link in you post of Delite Cinema.

Great post, @curatorofmemory
The shots of that classic cinema house is awesome — I agree with @TusharSuradkar dada that we all miss those historic theaters with general sitting and Balcony sitting. Those were the days when Balcony Sittings were considered as luxury.

Yeah Absolutely. @TusharSuradkar

We had to struggle a lot to get the tickets of the balcony.
