Does anyone know a website that lists Bollywood Cinemas across America, web links, movies and showtimes? A Moviefone.com for Bollywood Cinemas? Especially the Eagle Cinema ( 73-07 37th Rd.,73rd St. 718-205-2800, but where’s the website?), but also others across the land. Thanks!
I’m disgusted by the racist comments here. I went to the Eagle on Friday and the theater is extremely clean and the seats are new and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and they let me take a free poster off the wall after the movie. The movie was only $8 compared to $10.75 in Manhattan. As for the Art Deco details – a lot of it is still intact inside the theater. They took down some of the Deco fixtures in the lobby, yes – but it was only second-rate Art Deco decor anyway. It’s not like they tore down the Chrysler Building – get over it, fools!
Calling this a cinema treasure is a stretch. This theatre is an eyesore and a blight on the community. It looks like it belongs in a third world country.
The place looks like a mess, but it blends in with the rest of the neighborhood, which is a bigger mess.
Sounds like some of you would be better off going to see a Merchant Ivory film in the Hamptons!
Why would anyone in their right mind put one sheets on a marquee?
I didn’t think it was possible, but the Bollywood operators have made it look worse than it was when it was a run-down porno joint.
“Normal” movies?
What exactly is the Eagle being used for. From the posts above it appears to show foreign or Indian films? Does it show normal movies too? What is the condition of the inside?
To add to Lost’s list of photos, here’s another photo of the Eagle:

To the poster who wants to get his child in the theatre for free: Your 4-year-old kid has no business at a night screening. We adults enjoy visiting the theatre to get away from crying, talking, and generally disruptive 4-year-olds. C'mon! Either shell out the money, or take your child to a more kid-friendly destination—not a 4-hour night screening where adults are attending with their husbands/wives/dates/friends.
We (my wife, son and me) always go watch Indian movies in the Eagle Movie Theatre – not because it is clean and fancy but because we live right down the block from the movie theatre and it is very convenient for us.
We always buy tickets for adults only and never had any problem until last summer when we went to watch Shahrukh Khan’s movie “Main ho na”. On that evening too, as usual I bought the tickets for my wife and me and as we were proceeding, the very young person with attitude who was collecting the tickets refused to let my son of 4yrs enter the theater without ticket. I said to him we always come to watch movie here and never had to buy ticket for my son and even told him that he is only 4yrs old. He said it might be somebody else, when I am here you can’t take your kid without ticket. Concerning the prevailing attitude we returned the tickets (saved money) and went back home.
I am not posting this message expecting apology from the Eagle Movie Theatre. I am just letting everybody know how we are being treated in our own community and please if possible folks please do not patronize it. I would gladly buy ticket for my son should there be a sign saying something similar like “ KIDS OVER 3 ½ YRS OLD MUST PURCHASE TICKET BEFORE ENTERING THE THEATRE”.
I lived in the apt. bldg. behind this theatre when the Indians were fixing it up and getting ready to open. The unusual art deco light fixtures that had been intact in the lobby were taken down, broken up and thrown in the trash. All they really needed was a good cleaning. They were replaced with glitzy brass-and-glass fixtures from the nearby Home Depot – I guess it was assumed they would make the place look classy…..
