End of an era: Karachi’s Rainbow Centre once known for CD, DVD hub now offers cloth and dry fruit

In 1980s Karachi, if you wanted to be the first to watch a new movie or TV or stage drama on video cassette, Rainbow Centre was the place to go. But the bustling entertainment market, which thrived in the decades of VHS tapes, CDs and DVDs, where even celebrities and cricket stars came to attend launches of new releases or buy copies of their own content, has been all but killed by the internet and smartphones. Today, cloth merchants, dry fruit sellers and food vendors line the alleys of Rainbow Centre, a quiet and unrecognizable shadow of its lustrous past. - •Report: - •Website: https://www.arabnews.pk •Twitter:   / arabnewspk   •Facebook:   / arabnewspk   •Instagram:   / arabnewspk   #ArabNewsPK #Pakistan
