The theatres in the Valley had shut in 1990 due to the rise in militancy. From the period between 1990 and 2018, there were efforts to restart the theatres but all in vain. The setting up of a multiplex in Kashmir, which has seen terrorism for a long time from the other side of the border, comes three years after the abrogation of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.
