The doors close on Sagar theatre

Gandhinagar's most reputed theatre Sagar has stopped screening films and the theatre will be demolished soon.
There was news doing the rounds for a while that the theatre would be demolished to make way for a new mall. But the Chetan and Nithya Menen film Mynaa was running successfully in the theatre. However, once the film completed its 100-day run on Friday, Sagar stopped screening the film Monday, thus making Mynaa the last film to be screened there.
In the next two months, the theatre will be demolished and a new mall will come up with a multiplex in the same place and two screens will be dedicated to films.
Kempe Gowda Road, which was home to Sagar Theatre as well as Santosh, Nartaki and Bhumika, has seen all these theatres close down. Next year, there will be only one theatre on this road, which was known as the Broadway of Kannada films.
