The place was empty and closed down; it is entirely reduced to a heap of scrap. Another commented, “I have amazing memories with this place. Sad to see it like this. A fourth wrote, “KOD was so amazing, so sad to see these pictures, all Gurgaon has left to offer is thekas and new trendy restaurant/cafe. “The report submitted by NIT Kurukshetra has found that two buildings in the complex, particularly the ones including the culture gully and the theatre had suffered heavy damages and these were deemed unsafe.

The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) sealed the Kingdom of Dreams (KoD) in July 2022 for non-payment of dues amounting to over ₹ 100 crore, according to a 2022 Livemint report.

There was a massive column of smoke originating from the thermocol installed at the front of the structure,” Fire Officer Naresh Kumar told ANI. He had continued, “I immediately dispatched five or six of our vehicles all at once,” adding, “A fire had broken out here once before, which also occurred during the night. The land on which the complex was developed belongs to the HSVP but the matter is now under arbitration and future course will be decided by the courts,” a senior HSVP official told Hindustan Times.
