As the Covid-19 restrictions are gradually being lifted all across Pakistan, Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) wants to maintain tradition invented during the times – the drive-in cinema.
The KMC has initiated a drive-in cinema near Beach View Park, Clifton on a no-profit-no-loss basis.
KMC’s #SunsetCinema right now. Felt nostalgic inaugurating the facility since it brought back memories of the old drive in cinema of #Karachi. Please come, enjoy the weather, watch movies & eat good food #KarachiWorks pic.twitter.com/0xZLTSQMGw

In a tweet, city administrator Murtaza Wahab said notable films will be screened at Sunset Cinema during the weekend, starting from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, to entertain the citizens. He added that it is a unique opportunity for people to enjoy movies from their vehicles along with their family members.
Wahab further said that measures have been taken for ample car parking for visitors to the cinema. At present, at least 150 vehicles would be able to park at a time around the cinema.
The PPP leader went on to say that films would be screened in six genres, including those made on classic novels and animated films.
Earlier, Pakistan’s financial capital was famous for its drive-in cinema culture. A number of cinemas were established in various parts of Karachi, including Kismet in Saddar and Shireen in Korangi areas.
