Watching a Movie in Multiplex vs. Air-Cooled Theatre
I watched a movie in Sandhya 70mm (RTC X'Roads) after many years, on first day first show for "Ye Maaya Chesaave". Couldn't relish it more. The shrieks, the whistles, the flowers, the paper tributes, and the shouts of joy and ecstasy to see different characters and the hero and the heroine make their appearance on the screen, and the response to stunts - that atmosphere is not there in multiplex screens - where everybody including me is afraid to even cough or sneeze. Form is good in multiplex screens, but the soul of cinema-watching still lies with the regular theatres. Can we have the best of both worlds? Happens rarely when multiplex audience gets bolder - afterall, you are not watching in your private theatre, and the audience are not robots.
