Goodbye, Cauvery: The end of single screens in Bengaluru?
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2024
- A couple of months after celebrating its golden jubilee, the Cauvery Theatre in Bengaluru ended its glorious run. Curtains came down on the iconic single screen, which played several blockbusters for over five decades. The OTT wave and the booming multiplexes had a major impact on the theatre. Bollywood's dismal show in the last couple of years and the delay of big Kannada films caused the closure of the theatre.
What made Cauvery special? Why did celebrities love the hall? What's its legacy? The Hindu finds out.

Will miss dear Cavery theatre❤ watched so many movies growing up in Malleswaram
Top kannada Stars need to wake up 🙏
They are sleeping… no one interested to rejuvenate kfi ..
We lost appu sir that’s huge loss to kfi growth 😢
Everyday morning they are waking up
they have given up on Kannada movie industry, they just do chapri movies now n then for chapri class
Who r top stars?
@@kiiiiii419 next minute sleeping because they dream only about money and own struggles
The anchor couldn't find any Kannada Blockbuster in the intro? Shame on him...
It’s a Tamil newspaper
They stick to pro Tamil and anti Hindu agenda
Kannada movies rarely played here
It's kannad not kannada
@@ranganath3445ifyIt’s Kannada not Kannad!
Very disappointed by hindu and the anchor not highlighting kannada movie
They stick to pro Tamil and anti Hindu agenda
Kannad not kannada
I was expecting this kind of comments, le avnu kannada movie nodbeku, gottiddre avn editor green lit kodbeku andag publish madtan
*Om* Kannada film shooting was done there.......what does these guys know about it.... Namma nadu Karunadu...Jai karnataka......
Very sad , I last saw an avengers movie there in 2019 …the best part was the massive screen and the ultra cheap snacks at the concession stands outside …commercial multiplex chains charge 200% for food and drinks ….
Ultra cheap compared to pvr😂
Due to North Indians and big malls of Bangalore
Why? Kannadigas dont go to malls? Or is it that you don't step out of your house?

I am in 12th and I made a plan to watch a movie in cauvery after neet exam.
I really wished Cauvery theatre didn't close.
Very disappointed with the demolition of iconic theatre......Very beautiful movies i have watched here 😊
Man this is sad. All old style theatres are almost gone. 😮💨
Also, honestly the seats were too old and there was less maintainence. That is why PVR and INOX are preferred over these theatres because of the comfort that they provided. The only positive was cost off the ticket as it was comparatively way cheaper than PVR or INOX.
Correct
Bro, the theatre was walking distance from Bashyam circle. It was barely a 10 minute walking distance. I would book an evening show on the go and just reach there in time to enjoy the films.
Even today I want to visit theatres to watch good movies...but its like entering a maze... that's dreadfully discouraging me to...
Cauvery was the theatre where I watched my first movie I guess!!! It is right next the health institute (National Tuberculosis Institute) where my appa retired from!!!
Urvashi still here for us❤
But v miss Cauvery here Naa 😢
Very sad, i will miss cauvery theatre❤
The reporter seeing as if he lost his life 😂😂😂😂
For the landmass of Karnataka, KFI should be churning a minimum of 1000cr business collectively, just like neighbouring states, but we barely cross 500cr, indie movies in Karnataka are dead, gone are those times where talents like Rakshit, Rishi( kavaludaari ) , Naveen shankar( gultoo ), could make a mark in the box office, despite honest attempts by newcomers like eg, Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy(achar & co), they get barely noticed. poor number of quality movies over the time has culminated to this, a PVR can manage its financials by corporate financial structuring, but single screen are at the loss, kudos to hombale and krg for still believing in this market and investing large sums every year.
Most of the movies are really bad. Top stars like darshan and sudeep imo make garbage movies which only their deluded fans watch. All 3 neighboring states make so many great movies regularly but we lack good movies and stars.
I remember watching Hema Malini's Dream Girl here. However most of my Kannada movies have watched in Navrang and Gandhinagar area.
Nothing is permanent
Old facilities give way new.... that's technology upgradement...We also lost many single screen theatres in Madras long long ago....
Sad😢
Have seen Taare Zameen Paar and Ghajini in this theatre, when I stayed in Malleshwaram
End of an era😢
Very sad. This is our heritage. We will lose something as a society if we lose places like this. The place should be modified and used as a retail or cultural center
😢😢😢
😢
What's going to come up at the location?
As usual shopping mall...
Yavano ivnu kong nan maga bari tamil movies bagge ne maathadthone, roberrt, kgf, vikranth rona first day hogila ansuthe ivnu illi, ah craze eh bere
I watched only MM2 and Kantara there.
Falling prey to western thoughts like OTT and multiplexes.
Qube for distribution, multiplex for exhibiting and OTT for viewing.
When there's monopoly in the market, its their wish and price.
But when people are ready to pay 500 for popcorn, what can anyone do?
Sad
Shame on kannada stars releasing movies once in 3-4 years...
Kannada film industry na kolltha idira/ maartha idira nim swarthakkoskara...😢
The anchor is from Karnataka, still he didn't take any kannada movie names in the intro. Anchor thinks taking other language movies is cool. Shame shame you meer saadikh!!..We strongly condem!!...I will stop buying The Hindu Newspaper !!
bro chill da.
@@vasili-jy8ybwhy you chat bot. a** burning ?
Kannada newspaper odidre ninna kundi uriyutta? Modalu neenu sari aagu. Amele bereyarige buddhi helu bevarsi.
Ella english channel nodo neenu kannada bagge matadteeya.
Why is your A** burning?.. You Chat bot@@vasili-jy8yb
Paramathma movie shoot agide illi
Yella muchkond hogteera ???
ಕನ್ನಡ ಮೊದಲು.
Why always make some emotional videos for all kinds of things? Besides it was not of good quality in projection. I had headache after watching pirates of carribbean there.
Very disappointed
There is no films they are make pan India and then take 5 years 😂😂
Nothing is permanent
