Monihar Cinema Hall, Movie theater in Jashore District, Bangladesh
Monihar Cinema Hall is a movie theater in Jashore District, Bangladesh, set on a large plot of land and housing a main auditorium alongside a smaller screening room. The interior is fitted with spiral staircases and chandeliers designed by the artist Vishasa, giving the building a distinct decorative character.
The cinema opened in December 1983 and from its early days drew visitors from countries such as Japan, Korea, Australia, Russia, and England. That early international interest helped establish it as a notable venue well beyond the boundaries of Jashore District.
The hall draws audiences from across the region who come to watch both local Bangladeshi films and international releases. Going to the cinema here is a shared social event, and the building itself has become a recognizable part of local life in Jashore.
Tickets can be bought at the counter or booked online, so it is worth reserving a seat in advance during busy periods. Visitors who want to use the smaller screening room should check in advance which films are being shown there, as the program may differ from the main auditorium.
Monihar Cinema Hall was the first multiplex cinema in the entire Khulna Division, introducing a concept that was new to the region at the time. Having two separate screening spaces under one roof was something audiences in the area had not experienced before its opening in 1983.
