Khan and Zinta in Veer Zaara

The best of Bollywood

Is it an art gallery or cinema? Well, it’s both. Once a month until December, the Herbert will be showing classic and blockbuster Bollywood films in free screenings.


Relive the days of the Ritz and the Palladium as the best of Bollywood comes to The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum.

In a first for the area, you will be able to enjoy old time classics and recent blockbusters once a month until December.

The stars of Kal Ho Naa Ho

The Bollywood films, dating from 1955 to the present day, will be shown free of charge, but seats are limited so you’re advised to go early.

For the end of the season, the classic film 'Silsila' is being shown in October and 'Mohabbatein' in December.

A proud decision

Stacey Bains, Cultural diversity officer at Coventry city council and organiser said: "The decision to show the films follows requests from local people who enjoyed previous Bollywood screenings which were held at The Herbert last year. 

"We are proud that Coventry is the only place that you will get to see the classic films and people have told me they are also looking forward to seeing the recent ones, which have all been major box office hits."
