Globe Cinema, Movie theater on Lindsay Street, Kolkata, India
Globe Cinema is a movie theater in Kolkata housed within a heritage building that contains two modern auditoriums. The larger auditorium seats around 243 people while the smaller one accommodates about 198, providing viewing spaces for different film schedules.
The building opened in 1867 as the Grand Opera House, serving as a stage for British and Indian theater productions. It was converted into a movie cinema in 1925 under new ownership and renamed to reflect its new purpose.
The cinema screens Bengali films, Bollywood productions, and international movies that reflect the film tastes of the city. Visitors experience different storytelling traditions and regional cinema all in one place.
Online ticketing systems allow visitors to book their seats in advance from home, making the process convenient and straightforward. You can secure your spot before arriving at the venue without standing in line.
The theater went dark for two decades starting in 2004, with the final showing being a major Hollywood blockbuster before it closed. This long silence ended when the venue eventually reopened, marking a revival of this historic space.
