New Delhi: After entertaining film lovers for more than eight decades, Regal Theatre shuts off in style with a 'house-full' final show of Raj Kapoor's 1964 movie "Sangam" last night. The cinema hall, which started in 1932, once treated personalities like then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, his daughter Indira Gandhi and megastar Amitabh Bachchan.'it is the ending of an era but this is how it is.' 'All shows were booked for today,' administrator Roop Ghai told PTI. He said it was a difficult moment for the Regal family but it was something that could not have been avoided. Ghai doesn't know about the eventual fate of the 15-odd individuals utilized at the theater yet trusts that the proprietors hold the old staff once Regal returns as a multiplex. 'I have worked here as an accountant for a part of the time this theater was working,' said accountant Amar Singh Varma. The greatness and happiness of the former time are as yet noticeable in the halls of the building, which are enhanced with the high contrast pictures of cine stars Nargis, Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Dev Anand and Raj Kapoor. At the point when asked what movies he has viewed in the theater, a teary Varma stated, "I am an enormous devotee of Raj Kapoor and I don't care for watching movies that are being made today." One would expect for a theater as old and adored as the Regal to go out with some pageantry and show. Be that as it may, the staff had a private lunch as their "bidaai" (goodbye)." Varma said individuals don't wish to come to such silver screen lobbies any longer. "No one wants to think about it. Along these lines, it gets troublesome for us to make due in the evolving market. Presently, just the legislature can accomplish something to save whatever is left of the single screens in the nation. In the event that they won't chop down the expenses, I don't see single screens maintaining for long." Earlier in the day, veteran performing artist Rishi Kapoor took to twitter to say farewell to an enthusiastic to Regal. "Destroy. Bye-bye Regal Theater, Delhi. A place where all the Kapoor's theater and silver screen work was seen. Had "Bobby" debuted there as well! Much obliged to you!," the on-screen character posted on Twitter close by a photo of the notorious film lobby.
