" Built as a theatre, built by the British. Frankly a movie hall like no other. 'Twas primed for the elite in the pre-multiplex era. Unheard of, a cinema hall with all the bells and whistles including a bar which is said to be one of the first in the country exudes a romance that only the Brits could dream of. I really really like the olde worlde charm about it no modern era multiplex can boast of. Formerly a home of only Warner Bros. pictures and later all English movies and lately inclusion of Indian films proves its decadent value. My note to the owners- Please restore this gem to its former glory. And the 'Empire' will strike back. New Empire I love you. "
