Single-screen Cinema Halls
Single-screen cinema halls used to be the popular places to watch movies in Delhi. The cinema halls with their large film hoardings were prominent landmarks in the city. However, with the multiplex boom, the number of single-screen cinema halls in Delhi has decreased. Many cinema halls like the Regal Cinema, the first cinema to be constructed in Connaught Place, have become ill-kept and run-down and now mostly screen semi-porn films to the local working class population{Fact}. Others like Westend Cinema have just been shut down or been converted into commercial complexes, like the Kumar Cinema. "Kumar Cinema Chandni Chowk" re-opened under new management as Abhishek Cineplex.
