1178 – Waiting for Audience

I am not comfortable clicking strangers but wandering near CST, I clicked. It was home that I noticed the “Advance booking” window realizing that it was a theatre. Once a prime theatre, it now plays C-grade movies and waits for its audience!

Capitol Cinema is one of the Mumbai’s oldest theatres. Located just opposite Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, it was built by Kunvarji Paghtivala. It is a Heritage grade II Victorian structure constructed in 1879. Originally a theatre for performing arts known as Tivoli it got its present name in 1928 when it was converted to a Movie theater. – Source: Wikipedia

  1. Spot-on. Lighting, limited colour range, composition….. and a well chosen location. Very interesting.
