CAPITOL CINEMA

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.
