 The Palladium Cinema in downtown Srinagar is the subject of a new programme in the BBC radio series, The Museum of Lost Objects. The programme is presented by Kanishk Tharoor and produced by Maryam Maruf. It looks at the changing use of the building: cinema, political rallying point, interrogation centre, security forces bunker. Here's the link to the audio: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p058gh24

The audience took the film very seriously and there was lots of head shaking (see Michael Bates from 'It Aint half of Mum') when an emotional scene happened. It was my first visit to an Indian cinema and a very memorable occasion 11/16/2022 12:30:18 pm
