Capitol Cinema, Movie theater in South Mumbai, India
Capitol Cinema is a movie theater located in a Victorian-style building near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in South Mumbai. The venue features a single screen with a seating capacity of 880.
The building was originally founded as Gaiety Theatre in 1879 and received its current name in 1928 when Globe Theatres of Calcutta took over. Technical upgrades in the 1950s led to structural modifications within the space.
Capitol Cinema serves local film enthusiasts who come to watch movies in various languages spoken in the region. The venue draws audiences who appreciate traditional cinema-going in a historic setting.
The cinema sits directly across from the railway station, making it easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should be aware that the entrance faces a busy street with regular foot traffic.
The building holds Heritage Grade II status for its Victorian architecture and retains original architectural features despite decades of cinema operations. This blend of preserved historic design and active movie screenings remains uncommon in modern Mumbai.
