The scene of Kolkat’s filmcultre is practiced over here by thousands of cinema lovers.Nandan is the ideal place of cinema lovers.The hall is the film and cultural centre in Kolkata, India.The primary aim of the cultural hub is to encourage and facilitate cinematic awareness in society. It includes a few comparatively large screens housed in an impressively architectured building.

clip_image004The foundation stone of Nandan was laid by former Chief Minister of West Bengal Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee and was officially inaugurated on 2 September 1985 by film-maker Satyajit Ray. The complex, besides being a modern cinema and cultural complex, is a popular destination for the young and the aged alike.

Inside the compound,there are "Rabindra Sadan",where cultural programs are held. And if you want to watch stage drama,then visit "Shisir Mancho",which is beside Nandan,ticket prices are 20,40,50,though may vary depending on natok. I watched "Bhuloswargo" & "Ghughu" yesterday here,1st time in my life I watched a natok! 2 hrs full entertainment for rs 20,it was a great experience!So the main attraction towards this hall is that its a fantastic, mind blowing hall where the value for money is top class. A royal cinema hall and with out of the world Dolby and luxurious seats is undoubtedly the best in Kolkata.

I have been to this place many times with friends and family.This place has got something different and special thing in it,which attracts me a lot.Many talented people come over here and like to spend some time along with there friends.The topic of discussions are limited but are interconnected,no one talks rubbish and has their own point of view towards the socity and the topics they choose for their discussion.The topics move around music,cinema,politics and society.Many food stalls are there outside the compound where many people hangaround. Few talanted artists also sit their one person curves out tiny idols out of rice grains,which is really unbeliveable,another person is there who scetches the face of his customer who comes for painting.In short Nandan is clip_image006a plce for thinkers,belivers,lovers and mad people.
