The Kishtwar district of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday got its first digital movie theatre after a gap of three decades. The inflatable theatre was officially launched by Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, who congratulated the district people and local administration as well as other stakeholders on the return of movie culture to the district, a press release stated. After many decades of terrorism and the explosion that permanently halted movie screenings in Kishtwar 33 years ago, the district now hopes to relaunch its cinematic scene.

The theatre boasts of 120 luxurious reclining seats, an HD quality screen, and a state-of-the-art sound system, guaranteeing a top-notch cinematic experience for the residents. At the inaugural ceremony, the Lt Governor said J&K is witnessing a new era of peace and development in "Amrit Kaal" and the launch of a movie theatre in picturesque Kishtwar is a symbol of an aspirational society. The movie theatre will symbolize a recognition of the necessity of recreational activities for public welfare.
