Most of the cinema halls in Kashmir were closed in the 1990s following diktats issued by terrorist groups. A three-storey multiplex will soon come up in Srinagar, the first of its kind in Kashmir, which will allow Kashmiris to enjoy Bollywood films on the big screen. The multiplex will have three theatres and is being built adjacent to Srinagar's once-famous cinema hall Broadway cinema. Kashmir needs this type of facilities, it can bring Bollywood back to Kashmir as most of the Bollywood films are shot in Kashmir, Bollywood has decades-old relation with Kashmir," Kashmiri filmmaker Mushtaq Ali said. The revival of cinema in Kashmir depends on the success of this new multiplex.
