Regal Cinema is one of the oldest cinemas in the world, it is located in Mumbai, India. Regal was built during the cinema boom of the '30s during which Plaza Central, New Empire, Broadway, Eros and Metro Cinemas opened. Opened in 1933, Regal was designed by Charles Stevens, the son of the famous 19th century architect, F. W. Stevens. Its interiors with extensive mirror-work were designed by Czech artist, Karl Schara. The main auditorium had a motif of sunrays in pale orange and jade green. Its interiors were designed to create an impression of airiness, coolness and size in harmony with the modern simplicity of the exteriors.

The Regal Cinema site has recently been the scene of other conflicts with construction unions. The theater's topping off ceremony was unceremoniously canceled by management on June 18 when Ledcor Industries, Inc., the Canadian construction company in charge of the project, refused to let members of Iron Workers Local 118 place the traditional American flag, Christmas tree and union banner atop the structure.
