The film hall features two screens with advanced sound and visual systems and can accommodate 387 audiences (210 and 177 seats in the two theatres). It took around 5 years to bring the hall into operation.
The movie theatre is equipped with the next-generation GDC Theatre Management System (TMS) and has DTS X for sound which offers an elevated surround sound experience.
Giri said that Nepali movies will be given priority at the theatre which should be a good thing considering how few shows many Nepali films get as they compete with the Bollywood and Hollywood movies.
On the inauguration day, Deepak-Deepa-owned iNi Cinemas screened their own-acted movie Chhakka Panja 4.
