By Our Correspondent,Nepalgunj, July 28: Nepal’s first multiplex cinema hall with three screens, utilising the 'Three Way Dolby Atmos Sound System' and 'Four K Laser Projector' technology, has come into operation in Nepalgunj.

According to Dr. Thapa, a cafeteria will be launched alongside the cinema hall, and plans are in place to gradually open a departmental store and various shopping outlets. 

The movie theatre, which was constructed at a cost of around Rs. 250 million, has a comprehensive fire-proof system, implying that a robust security system has also been implemented.

Dr. Thapa stated that two halls can accommodate 250 audiences each, and one hall can house 150 spectators, with a total capacity of 650. 

He remarked that Cine Royale has set a new standard for cinema theatres in Nepal due to its cutting-edge technology, luxurious seating, immersive sound, and grand ambience.

Maniram Sharma of Rupaidiha, India, said that  the cinema hall, which is located near the Nepal-India border, will attract a significant number of Indian audience. 

During the event, federal lawmaker Dhawal Shumsher Rana expressed his confidence that the new movie hall would attract a large number of audiences from both Nepal and India.
