The iconic Elite Cinema (136 SN Banerjee road, New Market area), a cherished landmark in Kolkata, has fallen silent for years and is now poised for its final act as demolition crews move in to dismantle its structure. Reports indicate that a shoemaker has acquired the property with intentions to erect a four-story building in its stead. Once a bustling center for movie enthusiasts, the Elite had been grappling with financial woes for years before closing its doors in 2020. While its closure saddened numerous individuals, the announcement of its demolition has elicited a range of reactions. Some residents mourn the loss of this nostalgic symbol, while others view it as an inevitable phase in the city's ever-changing landscape.
