A landmark for life’s finest occasions.

From a beloved local cinema to a spacious, fully air-conditioned auditorium, Peetees has brought people together since 1981.

Our venue

Made for gatherings that matter.

1981

Peetees began as Peetees Cinema and has remained part of Kallara’s story for generations. Since becoming an auditorium in 2011, the venue has welcomed weddings, receptions and community celebrations in a setting that combines space, comfort and local heritage. We believe in preserving Peetees’ traditional character, resisting the trend to modernise every surface with glassy finishes and shiny tiles.

From the silver screen to your family story.

Known locally as the old Kallara theatre, the building carries the memories of cinema-goers and film history. Its story began with P. T. Abraham — Paremyalil Thomas Abraham, affectionately known as Avarachan. Today, that same landmark provides the backdrop for a new generation of meaningful occasions.
