Srinagar

Kashmir will get its first multiplex cinema in September which will screen the latest Bollywood and Hollywood movies for the entertainment-starved locals.

Designed by INOX, the multiplex with a seating capacity of 520, will be the first cinema theatre in Kashmir after three decades since separatist violence broke out here in 1989.

It will have many food courts to attract youth and children besides providing them the feel of the most modern cinema entertainment.

The decor of the multiplex includes the 'Khatambandh' ceiling which is part of Kashmir's central Asia inspired architecture.
