Juhu's iconic Chandan Talkies, the last remaining single-screen cinema in the area, has been demolished after being shut down in 2017.

Speaking on the downfall of the single-screen cinema, Sameer Joshi, the owner of Chandan Talkies cited the changing nature of the film industry and its impact on attendance. "There are very few films today that appeal to the masses. For a cinema like ours, which has a 650-seat capacity, it became a struggle to fill even 100 seats," he explained. He also highlighted the rise of web streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon, which he believes have further harmed the business. "People are opting for alternative modes of entertainment. Web platforms have severely impacted our industry," Joshi remarked.
