Today, you think Lamington Road, and you think cheap electronics. But is that all that is there to it? Back in its heyday, this century-old road was the mecca of movie-makers and movie-goers. In the early days of Indian cinema, canny producers and creative artists made movie magic here, which enchanted the cinema-crazy public flocking to the row of theatres nearby. Throw in real-life revolutionaries, wealthy businessmen, ambitious immigrants and twists of fate, and you have a heritage walk out-rivalling any artistic pot-boiler that was ever exhibited on this street.
