The Great Indian Movie Goer’s Dilemma

To see, or not the see.. that is the kostein (question as pronounce by a professor of mine).

I was planning on going to see Tere Bin Laden but Udaan‘s review and premise caught our attention. Shruti reviewed both trailers and decided that we should check out Udaan.

Movies in India are funny enough, the movie going experience more so:

1. There is a vast difference in the cost of movies if seen in the morning, afternoon and evening in India. The cost differential between the morning and evening shows can be as high as 1:5. We have decided to just see them in the morning, else get them from ‘other’ sources as paying 5 times the cheapest cost is not worth the money.
2. The food at the theaters, substandard. The food right outside the theaters, equally substandard. Oh the dilemma when spoiled for choices.
3. There is always a baby of crying age at the theater. If your bad luck is kharab (bad in hindi, fucked in daily speak), there will be more than one. And as Murphy’s lawe states, what can cry at the movies, will cry at the movies.
4. “You’re cutting the line” is a dialogue me and Manish always crack up at [inside joke, bite me]. But jokes apart, at the Indian theaters, you really would prefer a decent line. Especially when you book tickets online and need to collect them. Especially when the said movie started, like, 5 minutes ago. Unfortunately, there are always a bunch of asses who cut the line, and make life hell.

Enough on that already. Enjoy the Udaan trailer. I’ll post a review once I get back tomorrow.
