As Mombasa gets City Status in January 2002, (Lotus) Cinema, closes down!!
interesting history!
President Moi visits Mombasa in his last year, and gives Mombasa City status. Later in his trip he also visits Leisure Lodge for lunch on the north coast! (see Coastweek excerpts below)
Meanwhile the last movie to play at the beloved Naaz Cinema (renamed Lotus Cinema) is Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham which plays simultaneously with Kenya Cinema, that is before Mombasa patrons can get a pirated DVD for home viewing!
While you could get away with paying Ksh 120 for a seat in the stalls in Lotus or Kenya cinemas, you would have had to pay Ksh 250 to watch Harry Potter at the new Nyali Cinemax! (see Coastweek excerpts below).
Or you could have just sat home and watched a Bollywood classic on Zee TV (see below)!
