Fact Check: Are There Really No Movie Theatres in Bhutan?

Let’s clear up a common misconception that’s floating around online: the idea that Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, has no movie theatres. Spoiler alert—this claim is as mythical as a dragon itself.

Bhutan’s cinema scene might be a bit more modest compared to Hollywood’s glitz and glamour, but it does exist! The first Bhutanese feature film, “Gasa Lamai Singye,” directed by Ugyen Wangdi, hit the screens in 1989. Since then, the industry has been steadily growing. Picture this: you’re in Thimphu, the capital city, and you’re spoilt for choice between two movie theatres. Yes, not one, but two! Who said Bhutanese don’t know how to Netflix and chill (minus the Netflix part)?

Now, let’s get something straight—Bhutanese films are a delightful mix of local Buddhist teachings and traditions with storytelling that can give any blockbuster a run for its money. Think of it as “Eat, Pray, Love” meets “The Art of Happiness.”

Contrary to the wild rumors, Thimphu’s movie theatres screen both local and international films. And, believe it or not, the Royal Academy of Performing Arts in Thimphu is working hard to keep the cultural vibes alive with their support for traditional Bhutanese culture and performing arts.

In a nutshell, the claim that there are no movie theatres in Bhutan is about as believable as saying dragons are real. Bhutan does have movie theatres, and its cinema industry is growing, evolving, and adding its unique charm to the global film scene.
