KOLKATA:

"You have all heard the name of Star Theatre in Kolkata. I have already spoken to Kolkata Mayor. We have decided to name Star Theatre as Binodini Theatre. It is a mark of respect for our mothers and sisters," Banerjee said at a state government distribution programme at Sandeshkhali.

The original Star Theatre that opened in 1873 on Beadon Street does not exist anymore. It was razed when Central Avenue was constructed in the mid-1920s.
