Bridging Cultures
Through Cinema
Stories have the power to transcend borders, connect people, and build lasting cultural bridges. At Evening Show Entertainment, we make that happen — one film, one audience, one moment at a time.
The Origin
Rooted in Purpose
Founded by Dr. Abu Sohail ur Rehman and Mr. Sai Prudhvi, and supported by a passionate team including Mr. Amal Anil Kumar, Evening Show Entertainment was built on a simple yet powerful idea — Indian cinema deserved a global stage far beyond its traditional markets.
What started as a focused initiative in Latvia has grown into a leading force across Lithuania, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and the CIS region — creating a vibrant presence for Indian storytelling in spaces where it had long been absent.
The Footprint
Across Europe & Central Asia
15 territories and growing — spanning the Baltics, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
