Renovation
In 2004–2005 when single-screen theatres were struggling with high financial loss, theatre management of Paradise Cinema renovated this hall which saw a section of its audience returning. According to theatre director Arun Mehta, this makeover cost ₹3.5 million (US$52,000). At this time the number of seats in the hall were reduced from 840 to 730.
