Here are some special features of this multiplex:
- This multiplex has a seating capacity of atleast 520 people and has bid 3 cinema halls. It has been beautifully designed and has the latest sound systems installed.
- To maintain Kashmir's art and design, a kashmiri wood "khatambandh" is used in the lobbies which gives it a kashmiri culture look, Farooq Ahmed, a local artist told India TV.

After the closure of movie theatres in the early '90s, the first attempt to open cinema halls was made in 1999, when movie theatres – Neelam, Regal and Broadway – opened in Srinagar. However, militant attacks on Cinemas led to closing down of cinema halls across the valley.
