Dhoom II was released this Friday and watching it was a very tough job. One because none of the multiplexes launched it and two, the theatre it was screened at was so difficult to find that we wasted more than 1 hr to find it.
In faridabad, after the introduction of PVR chain, everybody totally erased the names of the film theatres and the funda of Balcony and AC-box from their minds. The people staying here have got their pockets stuffed with money. Be it buying a property worth not less than 75 lakhs or new car not smaller than Honda city every alternate year, they are at the top. Due to some controversy between the multiplex owners and the distributors of the movie, it was decided to go for launching it in smaller theatres and if the movie goes hit then the distributors will charge more money from the multiplexes. Thats the funda i could make out for now. Moreover Yash Raj is too very confident that the movie will certainly be a hit.
So, there is this theatre called Satya Palace in Faridabad and god knows where it was. Me with my friend Ranaware (aka the maratha), were discussing and blaming all the multiplexes and decided to go for the movie in the local theatre for the evening show 6-9 pm. For this, we had to leave our house by 4 or so to find the place where it was. Had our matinee show of Bas Ek Pal and he was watching the match while i fell asleep. At around 7 pm, Ranaware woke me up and said "chal saale madrjaat, movie nahin dekhni".
I was like "what movie, abhi to dekhi humne"
"Abbe Dhoom.....subah to baat kiye the"
"Well yeah, but i guess we werent serious dude."
"bhak sala, ab nautankibaazi band kar...saala sau aalsi mare honge fir unhi ki g**nd se tu pada hua hoga...Ab Uth"
It took me a lot of effort to stand up. It feels great now-a-days to sleep with the cozy blanket in this winter season and yesterday was when the lowest temperature (9 degrees C) recorded. Put some clothes on and grabbed a bike.
Boy!! it was some chillness outside. My tooth were creating all sorts of noises while colliding with each other. My legs were pressed hard with the fuel tank of the bike to make it stable. And Ranaware sitting in the back, was the happiest man at that moment. He always feels happy and laughs aloud when his friends are in trouble. But he was embracing me and making me feel awkward. I mean its okay if a girl is sitting in the back seat with her hands around you. But when its a man, it just gets out of your mind when you see ppl driving around you are staring both of you with a crooked look. We were asking all the pedestrians where we might find Satya palace. Somebody told that its in YMCA, god knows what it is.
We again asked a pan-waala where can we find YMCA, and he told go straight, turn to your left and after a couple of streets turn to your right, there you can find Satya Palace. Hell!!! How did he know that we were searching for the theatre. He said that he has been doing this for the last two days and its not a surprise that you are also searching for the same. Go and enjoy the movie.
Finally we reached it. Its been ages that i have been to such a place before. I mean Bhubaneswar has got lot better screens and well decorated local theatres although there are no multiplexes there. We reached there by 8:30 and the show was at 9pm. Lucky to be just in time!!
Ranaware stood in the queque for the ticket while i was parking the bike. When he came back he showed me the ticket. I dont know from what angle it was looking like a ticket. It was just a piece of plain paper

yeah!! that was it....I was literally shocked " abbe 60 rupaye ki ticket? AC bhi hai kya yahan?" "Dont know yaar...just hope that it has got cushioned seats"
We were waiting for the show when we saw the posters of the movie on the wall. It said:
" Bambai se seedha prasaran ki jayegi. Power katne mein bhi film chalti rahegi"
Ranware was like "WTF!! yahan power bhi jaati hai" "koi nahin dost!! ab aa gaye hain to dekh ke hi jayenge chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye"
The minute hand struck 12 and bingo!! 9pm....Time for the show....and we went inside..
