Mysore/Mysuru: Old-timers are fascinated by buildings and the façades of single-screen theatres of Mysuru. But sadly many cinemas have become relics of the past and the ones that exist are struggling to survive in the age of plush multiplexes and overpriced popcorn, snacks and soft-drinks.
Joining the list of theatres that were demolished to make way for swanky commercial complexes is the Shree Talkies at Mandi Mohalla. It has entertained Mysureans since the past 79-odd years and the structure is being demolished. Reason: Lack of patrons, losses, high tax structure and, of course, the all-permeating COVID-19.
