Behzad Cinema

Behzad Cinema is the oldest movie theatre in Afghanistan, established by the local government of Kabul. It was built in 1934 by the Kabul Municipality, in the old city area of Bagh-e-Qazi. However, it was abandoned and has since become a ruin. The cinema reopened during Mohammed Zahir Shah's reign and has become a hotspot for clandestine groups and drug users, as reported in November 2020.
