Priya Cinema, Movie theater in Rashbehari Avenue, Kolkata, India
Priya Cinema is a movie theater on Rashbehari Avenue with one screen and approximately 851 seats, fitted with digital projection and advanced sound systems. The hall combines traditional cinema design with modern technical installations.
