You may soon be able to watch a movie in a dome cinema at four stations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). A new idea for generating revenue by utilising free land could see temporary dome cinema theatres on Central Railway (CR)station premises. Four stations in and around Mumbai division, Dombivli, Khopoli, Igatpuri and Juchandra, are in the race.

“We have invited bids for setting up and operating pre-fabricated cine domes at Dombivli, Khopoli, Juchandra and Igatpuri stations under a non-fare revenue (NFR) earning model. The proposed cine domes will be full-fledged theatres to showcase movies, including latest releases, documentaries and other content, along with meals/snacks/beverages for visitors. However, no permanent structure will be allowed. The cine domes will be manned by the parties who will set it up at their own cost, and crowd management shall also be the sole responsibility of the party,” an official said.
