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."
