Hello

Last Sunday we went to the movies. I bet you are thinking, big deal. Well, let me tell you it was an event not to be missed. After spending hours trying to figure out which film was subtitled and how to purchase tickets on line with my over seas credit card I finally decided to show up 1.5 hrs early just to make sure we got seats. The seats have number assignments, like when you go to see a play in the states. And there is a box office for Ladies and one for Men. Who knows why. Guess they are trying to keep men and women from sitting together? Doesn't work from what I saw.

The theater itself was the most amazing space. Enormous. And, air conditioned! The seats were roomy and comfortable. Plenty of space for people to pass in front of you to get to their seats. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in. And as soon as we sat down the movie started, even though the lights were still up and the theater was only half full. Lights went down when credits were done rolling.

We ended up going to a Bollywood film called "Hello". It was in Hindi. No subtitles. I was only getting the gist of it even though we had an Indian friend with us who was translating some. Basically there was no way to categorize this film. Because there was romance, comedy, violence, a car chase, philosophical message, social commentary...all with tons of products placement. Oh, and of course, dancing and singing to disco music. It was over the top. I loved every minute of it and just couldn't eat enough of the overly salty popcorn. I went back for seconds.
