This former British colonial stronghold boasts evidence of over two millennia of habitation, with ornate, architecturally diverse buildings, ranging from crumbing ruins to Victorian treasures. Home to lively festivals and a vibrant artistic community, clamorous markets and packed temples, this city is crowded and polluted, but ultimately invigorating.

This is the place where every teenagers of the nineties were must have shown his face . Back to 35 years , the Esplanade area was not at all like it nowadays . not so much over crowded . There were only single screen movie halls . The idea of the Multiplexes does not exists at that time . At that point of time the were so many cinema halls in this particular area of the city . Lighthouse , New Empire Globe , Tiger , Elite , Paradise , Orient are some of them . At that time if anybody are keen to see the best of the Hollywood movies , New Empire caters all of them . You don't believe the ticket prices at that time , Its Rs. 2 INR in pre -nineties era . Hundred of young stars and other people are locked themselves inside a tunnel like pavement made of iron to grab a ticket at that price and they have to pass through a hundred stairs to find themselves in the top floor of the New Empire Cinema hall , wooden chairs filled up with viewers . Their excitement touches the roof as soon as the movie starts. All the greatest movies of all time were released in this hall . I have seen almost hundred movies there . Those were the days .which will never return . Of course there were normal tickets as well .But there was always a demand for those wooden chair tickets . Maybe the price of the ticket and the ease of smoking may be one great causes of that rush . This facility is not available right now in New Empire Cinema Hall .
