On Saturday, Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang has got its first movie hall with a start-up opening a screen in the heavily fortified city close to the India-China border 10,000-feet above sea level. Apart from an 80-seater cinema hall, the city also welcomed a virtual reality café.

The movie theatre holds its own uniqueness as it is run by an all-women staff. The cineplex has been built by Jadooz Media Solution at Rs 35 lakh and it will be offering the city with a cheaper movie experience at Rs 100 a ticket. Following the inauguration, Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan-starrer Bollywood movie Bunty Aur Babli 2 was the first movie screened at the hall. 

Speaking to mediapersons, Kanika Singal, co-founder of Jadooz, said, “We are bringing cinema to the masses and this is the first cinema hall that has opened so close to the India-China border. We want the people of Tawang to enjoy cinema and virtual reality at a very minimum cost. We don’t want people to travel long distances to big cities.” 

“Very interestingly, this is an all-women run cinema hall. Why should any gender be left behind. This is our contribution to Bharat. We will also bring education to the big screens. We are going to run IAS prep classes to uplift even the remotest town of the country,” she said.
