These enthusiastic movie-watchers are not just from Srinagar but coming all the way to the city from far-flung districts of the Kashmir region. Interestingly, this is the first time for the younger generation of the Valley as they have never seen a theatre in their lives. Kashmir had dozens of cinema halls till early 1990, but with the start of the insurgency, all the cinema halls in the Valley were shut down.
“I am a big fan of Christopher Nolan movies and since we do have one multiplex in the valley, I had pre-booked tickets for the movie. I took all my friends along to see it. And I must say I loved watching Oppenheimer in Srinagar,” said Mohsin Ahmad, a student from Srinagar.
