Elite Cinema, Movie theater in Dharmatala, Kolkata, India

Elite Cinema was a movie theater located at 136 SN Banerjee Road in central Kolkata, featuring a single-screen auditorium for film screenings. The venue presented a mix of mainstream Indian films and regional productions throughout its years of operation.

The cinema opened in August 1940 under ownership by 20th Century Fox and the Bourne & Shepherd photography studio. The venue operated for nearly eight decades before closing in June 2018.

Throughout its existence, Elite Cinema presented both mainstream Indian films and regional productions, contributing to Kolkata's entertainment landscape.

The location was easily accessible by public transportation and situated in a central business area with nearby shops and restaurants. The venue was walkable and frequented by local residents and visitors in the surrounding neighborhoods.

The building represented a connection between early 20th-century design and Kolkata's film culture. The structure was demolished in February 2024, marking the end of a classical cinema era in the city.
