Feltham was the third Cineworld site. Located in an industrial section of Hounslow behind a dildo factory, it was a hit from day one. As Cineworld introduced Bollywood films on large screens with Dolby sound, at standard movie prices and multiple showtimes, the audiences responded. Local Bollywood cinemas were often run down and over-priced with awkward showtimes making it difficult for families to coordinate for the often three hours long films. Some locations showed the films only at midnight and charged children the same as adult prices.

With the opening of “KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI” in November of 1998, Feltham became one the highest grossing Bollywood locations anywhere in the world and the film out-grossed “TITANIC”. Super star Shah Rukh Khan later visited to embed his cement foot prints on a concrete slab at the entrance, Grauman’s Chinese Theatre - style.

The mix of British, Hollywood and Bollywood movies at Feltham made Cineworld investors comfortable and they asked to double the business plan and add more U.K. locations.
