Kingdom of Dreams Shuts Down After COVID-19
The Kingdom of Dreams was a big theatre complex in Gurgaon that opened in 2010.
It had two large auditoriums and hosted famous shows like Zangoora and Jhumroo.
Many famous people, like Shah Rukh Khan and Priyanka Chopra, were there when it opened.
But over time, the theatre started having money problems.
Fewer people were coming to the shows, and the costs were very high.
When COVID-19 happened, the theatre had to close.
It never reopened because it couldn't make enough money.
In 2022, the owners had to stop operating because they owed a lot of money.
Kingdom of Dreams was a grand live theatre complex in Gurgaon, inaugurated in 2010.
It featured two auditoriums: Nautanki Mahal (864 seats) and Showshaa Theatre (350 seats).
The complex hosted popular shows like Zangoora and Jhumroo, attracting big stars and audiences.
Financial constraints and declining footfall led to its shutdown, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran terminated the lease in 2022 due to non-payment of dues up to Rs 100 crore.
