Marathi artists shout slogans during a protest against NTC Mill to preserve Marathi Cinema Theater in Mumbai on Monday, 11 January 2010. Lalbaug’s Bharatmata Cinema may face shutdown with the civil court dismissing its application against an eviction order issued by National Textile Corporation (NTC). NTC had leased the land to the theatre and now wants to build residential and commercial properties. In 2000, NTC issued an eviction order against Bharatmata Cinema under the Public Premises (Eviction) Act, 1971. The Bhopatkar family, which runs the theatre, moved court in appeal and secured an interim stay order in 2002.
