Location : Fort, Mumbai Date : January – March 2022
Grade : IIB
Located opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, Capitol Cinema
is a grade II B-listed building and one of the oldest theatres in Mumbai.
Previously known as Gaiety theatre for performing arts, it was later
converted into a single-screen theatre called Capitol Cinema.
Due to a plethora of modern multiplexes rapidly mushrooming across
the city, the number of audiences coming to the Capitol decreased. Once
bustling with city theatre-goers, the Capitol Cinema now remains empty.
The cinema hall is now used as an office for administrative purposes only.
SMA was involved in the preparation of area statements and detailed
measured drawings of the property.
