It comes under the ‘touring talkies’ category and the five-year licence period is drawing to an end. Lakshmi Theatre of Madurai, the last of the touring talkies in the State, will soon see the final show of a journey that spans nearly half a century. The entertainment is earthy and rustic at the touring talkies, but all the action will soon come to a close, and Lakshmi Theatre will become history. The experience of gathering as a community and the freedom to move around ensure the patronage of Lakshmi Theatre. Lakshmi Theatre is a space that allows movie buffs to enjoy a puff while watching the movie.
