CHOTE SCREENS KI BADI BAATE

                                               

                                                                                 

I know everyone is bit surprised that “Shri ka blog and no SRK yet!” So let me write something about his great work and which has a place in Guinness book. But wait why should I tell the facts which are already known to everybody. So let me share something which is very common yet uncommon now-a-days.

                I and My friends (Harsh, Abhishek and Aditya) decided to watch “DDLJ” at Maratha mandir on Saturday 13/12, on the very next day of completion of 1000weeks. We left our hostel a bit late then what we actually decided. The show timing was 11.30am. By 10.30am tickets selling start. None of us was sure that whether the movie was still running in the theatre or not as the buzz mentioned that “Maratha mandir will let off DDLJ after 1000weeks”. At 11am we reached the single screen theatre and saw the poster of DDLJ and heaved a sigh of relief. But our happiness was short-lived. There was a long queue for tickets. We were pretty unsure that we will get tickets or not. Two of us went in the queue and me n harsh started requesting people who were in the beginning of the line to buy tickets for us too. After many arrogant replies and rejections a man with kind heart and labourish face agreed. But sometimes helping others put you in trouble. As the limit were 4 for a person. He managed to take only 4 tickets, which apparently we took from him and he went home with empty hands. This anxiety of unsurety about the tickets is getting extinct because of BOOKMYSHOW.COM.

                The door for cinema hall opened. People huddled as if the seats are allocated on first cum first serve basis (this happening is also very rare now). Security man somehow managed the crowd. We entered the cinema hall. We had balcony tickets costing RS20 each (Rarest phenomena). As a huge fan of Shahrukh khan I posed his style in front of DDLJ poster. My friends also followed me. Then we bought popcorn for Rs20 and waited to start the movie. As soon as the first scene appeared people shouted in chorus in happiness. Audience welcomed Amrish puri with Applause. The energy of audience reached at its best when Kajol and King Khan appeared for the first time. Everyone wished that their father should be like Anupam kher who celebrated his son’s failure. This continued for all most all scenes. Clapping, shouting, singing songs of the movie, whistling were going on with increasing fashion. The charged up environment was nonstop for 3 hours. As the show was house full and everyone has already seen the movie people reacted beforehand for every memorable scene. Infamous dialogue-“bade bade desho mai aise choti choti baate hoti reheti hai” got expected honour from public.

          

                Now-a-days you don’t find such energy in any movie or even in crowd. It was really a perfect nostalgia who is 35-40years old now. They must have witnessed the first day first show of DDLJ. After all it was awesome and unforgettable experience. I suggest a business idea ( as an MBA guy) to khans and bachchan that they should bring back their legendary movies like lagan ,hum aapke hai kon, deewar , janjir, rang de basanti, baazigar to single screens. They should promote them as they promote their new movies. Single screens will also get back their audience.TRY IT! J
