For the Love of Eros!

28 Feb 2024 CW Team

The iconic Eros theatre, one of Mumbai’s first single screens and among the last of the city’s Art Deco buildings, was recently redeveloped.

Commissioned in 1935 and inaugurated in 1938 by Parsi businessman Cawasji Cambata and designed by architect Sohrabji Bhedwar, it enjoys a prime location just opposite the bustling Churchgate station. Poor ticket sales owing to the multiplex invasion forced it to shut down in 2017. The structure was in poor shape, requiring structural repairs to the beams, roof, chhajjas and parapet walls. Many leakages needed to be plugged and foliage growing out of the walls had to be removed. Plans to resurrect the structure were sanctioned in 2018 but the COVID pandemic played spoilsport, delaying the refurbishment. Today, the city has its jewel back, more resplendent than ever.
