Bengaluru's famous 56-year-old single-screen theatre, Urvashi Cinema, is currently being torn down. This follows a Supreme Court ruling that concluded a lengthy legal battle over the property's lease. The theatre, which was opened in 1970 by Dr. Rajkumar, showcased thousands of movies across five different languages throughout its history. The destruction of this landmark has deeply saddened many movie fans and professionals within the Kannada film industry.
