We were watching Amar Akbar
Anthony this weekend when my father announced that he watched this film for the
first time at so and so theatre. Casually I asked him how many films you have
watched in theatres. I was shocked when he told me that he had watched 700-800
films in theatre. That was the moment I understood from where I got this filmy
germ from. I can’t even imagine this number to complete during my lifetime. I
am choosy when it comes to watching films in cinema halls provided we have to
spend a lot these days on movie tickets.
I always say that you know lot of
things but sometimes you don’t realize it. The thing about films working for 25
weeks or more before 90’s was due to the fact that there were no television
sets. Lot of times people would films were better back then that’s why films
use to celebrate jubilee’s but that was not the case. Since the time television
came in our homes films running time constantly decreased. Today we have more
than 200 channels showing various shows, films. Who needs theatre until and
unless you don’t want to watch a new film?
One of my friend shared that her
father used to maintain diary in which he use to list down every single film
that he watched in theatre. Once she opened his diary there was not a blank
page in that diary.
Let me know what you have to say
in the comments section below.
