Chief Minister Omar Abdullah visited Srinagar’s only functional multiplex to watch the popular series 'Mirzapur' as part of a four‑day film festival, underscoring the government's push to revive cinema culture in the valley.
The event took place on the second day of the festival, held in Srinagar, where the multiplex remains the sole venue capable of screening films after years of limited operations. Abdullah highlighted that attracting prominent artists and filmmakers would bolster the local film ecosystem and encourage further investment in cinematic infrastructure.
Jammu & Kashmir has struggled with a dwindling number of operational theatres, affecting both audiences and local talent. By promoting such cultural events, the administration aims to create new opportunities for regional filmmakers, generate employment, and re‑engage citizens with mainstream entertainment options.
