Kerala Movie Theatre Creates A Sound-Proof 'Crying Room' For Parents With Babies

A "crying room" has been installed at a movie theatre complex in Kerala administered by the government. This room is designed for parents to take their children who get distressed while in the theatre.?

The soundproof space has a few chairs for caregivers or parents who want to enjoy the movie with their infants.

On Monday, Kerala Cultural Affairs Minister VN Vasavan shared photos of the room set up at the Kairali-Sree-Nila theatre complex in the state capital, Thiruvananthapuram.

The "crying room" is outfitted with a diaper changing station and an infant crib.

According to what the minister had to say, arrangements have been made for parents and other caregivers to watch the film in this room comfortably, without any interruption.

When translated into English, the post reads,?

"It is very rare for parents who come to the theatre with their children to enjoy the movie. The children get upset and have to leave the theatre without matching the darkness, sound, and light in the theatre."

He added, "If the baby cries while watching the movie, there is no need to leave the theatre. KSFDC Thiruvananthapuram Kairali Theater Complex has set up a cry room at Kairali Theatre Complex to transform government theatres into women and child-friendly theatres."

According to the minister, the Kerala State Film Development Corporation (KSFDC), which is part of the state government, is building up more "cry rooms" at other state theatres.

According to him, this project is a part of the government's attempts to make theatres owned by the government more welcoming to women and children.
