Movies Movies and Movies. This is a thing for which I have been regular since I shifted from the initial accomodation provided by my company in Bangalore and it rightly coincided with Jazz bringing his Yamaha from his hometown and HB buying his new Apache. And since then there have been movies every weekend, may be two in a week also. And most of the credit goes to HB for enthu that he kept showing to make people watch more and more movies. A big thing that changed from IIT time is that I don't watch movies on computer rather in theatres. And another change is it can be any film without any starcast or good previews, i mean if we decide we need to watch a film we go irrespective of anything and thats why list includes films like "Shiva", "Naksha"(3rd film in Bangalore), "Woh Lamhe", etc. The journey started with "Omkara"(costliest movie I ever saw); proceeded with "Lage Raho Munnabhai"(which i saw thrice in theatre) during ofice hours, on the day I was allotted my project and on the encouragement of my boss; and went on getting strengthened with all the movies that I have seen till now. We though prefer a bit cheap theatres as we are the regular guys watching almost every film in theatres, but still that is a preference and not a necessity as many films are shown only in multiplexes.
There has been gud times when we watched films in gud number but "Dhoom 2" was the one in which went in larges nos (11 if i remember correctly). It was also the first one for which we bought tickets in advance(infact we went twice),"Guru" being the the second. There are different kind of experiences associated with different films as well. "Naksha" was the one in which Sasu did not turned up(that also along with Sid'd bike) even after buying tickets which was because of the start of series of "events" that later made us associate with Sasu a lot.
"Jaan-e-man" is the only film which we watched in our group but HB was not there. This film is the one in which our intrinsic qualities of comments/cheering/anticheering etc became extrinsic to everyone as film came out to be a proper skit in first half. Omkara is the only film in which Lalit accompanied us. "Honeymoon travels Pvt Ltd" is the only film which I did not watched with the whole group. "Babul" is the film which is on the top of the films on the recieving end of HB's abuses. Though I dont remember HB abusing any other film to any extent. We have watched most of the films in Rex or Symphony with PVR fortunate enough to be our host for one or two. "Vivah" has been the one for which we travelled maximum distance to watch in GandhiNagar. The endless list also includes "Bhagam Bhag", "Saalam-e-ishq", "Nishabd", "Casino Royale", "Don", etc.
May be its a weekend effect or something else but it surely drives us (atleast HB and me) to watch films. This may be just for time pass or may be bacause of habit of watching films or being movie buff or may be there is no concern now for the money that I spend on these films or just to carry up the image that I have build over the days by watching new films in hall or may be to have break from the very scheduled monotonous life(though this has also started to become monotonous) or may be a mix of all; but this has now been regular with me for past 6 moths.
After the rent that I pay for my sweet home, I believe movie tickets are the thing that comes second on my monthly expenditure (not considering food as it is essential). But what I can say surely about this habit is it definitely gives me a break from everything and this is the time during which there are no concerns, no thoughts, no tension about anything because apart from enjoying film, my film making and dramatics pursuit make me take interest in cinematogaraphy, camera angles, overall directions, predictions of the film without thinking for other considerations. Though I try not discuss these anymore with people out here as I have been on recieving end for few times on starting the discussion.
Ans I believe this is not going to stop in near future with a long queue of films (includes everykind) awaiting for we people to watch them with "not getting bored" spirit.
