Eros an iconic landmark of Mumbai. It is one of the very few theatres that still maintains a single screen.
The Eros Cinema opened in February 1938. It was designed by architect Sorabji Keikhushru Bhedwar with internal decorations by Fritz von Dreiberg. Forming a corner apex, the building also contains a ballroom and restaurant, together with apartments and shops and it took over two and a half years to construct.

The splendid Art Deco style facade rises in tiers like a wedding cake and is topped by a semi-circular tower. The central section is partially faced in red sandstone from the Agra with the remainder of the building painted light cream.

Inside there is a large circular foyer which is finished in black and white marble. The pillars on the walls have decorative Art Deco reliefs of semi-naked female figures. Seating in the auditorium is in stalls and balcony levels. The side walls at stalls level have a large frieze which contains figures in an Art Deco style representing various activities in film-making.

The Eros was one of Mumbai's (Bombay) luxury cinemas and remains a popular cinema today.
