Kolkata, March 25: In an initiative to make cinema viewing affordable for people from rural areas of the state, renowned filmmaker Goutam Ghose Monday called for reinstating single-screen theatres and establishing mini-plexes across West Bengal.
"Rural people cannot afford to pay high prices for tickets to enjoy a movie. More single-screen theatres will enable them to watch movies at an affordable rate," Ghose said at a media conference here.
"Single-screen theatres are not viable, so there has to be a minimum capital investment in these projects," he added.
Director of films like "Paar", "Dekha" and "Abar Aranye", Ghose.
