Top 8 shocks

I had in the movie theatre – In a random order

1. Kajol was the murderer in Gupt. Hello do you expect an inspector Daya in me? I was 12 then.
2. Salman’s emergence in Kuch Kuch Hotha Hai. Even after he made an entry I kept thinking it was gonna end soon like most of the guest appearances would.
3. Gandhi class was not named after Bapu and Bucket class did not ask for people to sit in bucket. WTH with the names then?!
4. Upendra’s Sshhhhh. That movie had nothing but shocks.
5. Aishwarya could act while watching Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. It provoked me to watch this.
6. Someone actually could dare to make a movie named “Preethi Yeke Bhumi Melidhe?” The one whom entire Mandya was proud about.
7. Popcorn wasn’t free when I first visited PVR. The tickets were priced like 250 bucks dammit.
8. Mani Ratnam made Raavan and Kites took a good 4 years to complete. I was told that both were out of good health.

Why this you may ask. Yesterday we watched some videos of Retro at SPI. It had how Doordarshan would start off with “Saare Jahan Se Acha” circle forming DD’s symbol, Gold Spot se Chal Meri Luna to Ek Anek then Mile Sur Mera Tumhara to Chandrakantha.

They had clips of Annavru, Vishnu, Shankar Nag, Ambrish, Rajni, Chiranjivi, Madhuri & what not. To top it up they served us free popcorn, kadleaayi and coke.

All of this enjoyed at Gandhi Class. Sheer Movie Bliss I tell ya.

P.S: Did you know that “Nanna Daniyege Ninna Daniya Seridanthe Namma Daniya” was totally unheard? Whistles and Yells and Rockets and Paper tearing; all happened.
