Venue: ELITE Cinema, near New Market, Esplanade.
Year: 2004
Partners in Crime: Chandu and Nabs
Well we missed Snu but no wonder it was a fantastic movie and we had great fun watching it. I was already into collection of hum tum cartoons in TOI (till date i have that collection back home in Kol). We were damn excited, not just for the movie but also who will be our neighbour..,no we had nt expected saif to step out of movie and sit beside us, but wats the harm if u get to see an eye candy somehwere :)
So there we were for the matinee show. my first visit to one of kol's oldest and largest cinema halls. The screen was also huge..but only prob, the head count was very low and arnd our seat there was no one...i had to stretch my eyesight to figure out some eye candy in the dark hall. Well. i wont talk abt movie coz we all knw it by now and it was fun watching (no fun in putting the story down here). So we watched, laughed, and as usual i was commenting and singing among all.
experience of watching a movie with nabita was all good. i wish the hall was crowded. loved the movie a lot...i think this is saif's best performance till date...after the movie was over, we went shopping to new market and vardaan and i still remember the pair of shoes that i bought.
miss my darling friends!

Kal Ho Naa Ho
Again this movie trip has its own importance.....for the first time in my life, i entered Metro Cinema in Kolkata. Once upon a time, it was a premiere cinema hall in Kolkata, but the time that i went there...it was breathing its last (today toh its completely shut and i feel very bad abt it)...anyways, while entering the cinema hall, the feeling was as if i have entered some historic place...till then i had no idea that so soon it will actually become history :(
Well we had planned the movie a long while ago (when the promos were out), though i was a bit hesistant coz of SRK and my money. But movie turned out to be really good, so I agreed. We wanted to catch the show in the very first week, but the tickets were not available. My friends who were big time SRK fans were going crazy after they heard reviews and feedbacks from others in college. Finally in the second week, we managed to get tickets. If i remember, it was me, Snu , and Chandu who went for the movie.
For the first half, i was stuck between the two and they were madly throwing flying kisses towards the screen. I was like okay movie is good but wats all this...so i turned my attention towards the cinema hall...since it was my first visit, i wanted to check wat was its USP that floored everyone. It had British day architecture and the balcony was one of the most beautiful balconies that i have ever witnessed in cinema halls.
And since it was our first visit to movie after entering the college life, it was time for me to start what i am best at...NSP. Better i dont disclose the full form. Those who know should also know that i wear specs so hw mandatory it is for me. I was looking for my target and lucky me and my eyes, they didnt had to go too far. I found out a couple in the next row who were lil weird.
In the interval, we got ourselves cold drinks. Post interval, Snu and Chandu were pissed off by my antics and decided to throw me in the side seat. So here i was all by myself checking everyone in the cinema hall during the melodramatic scenes. Well, i did watch the movie :). It was fun. After sometime, my eyesight moved again to my old target who were seated just infront of us. And i was forced to laugh in the middle of a very dranatic scene. the two were smsing each other and smiling. (i have witnessed numerous couples in the theatres and believe me every time i have learnt new things abt couples in cinema halls...i think another good topic for starting a blog)...anyways, my friends intervened and asked me to shut up.
And then came the Kodak moment. SRK's death scene or rather SRK's last scene before his death in the flick....the couple who were by now busy chatting via sms had kept their phones aside and were staring at the screen as if watching some breaking news on tv. SRK dies and i hear everyone crying. I saw the lady infront of me...she was inconsolable and the guy was offering her his handkerchief...i turned arnd to check what others are doing...and saw they are also crying...last with a hope that my friends wud be better, i turned towards them....they were also CRYING....and the next moment everyone was looking at me with amused looks: COZ I WAS LAUGHING LOUD!!! girls were taking their eyes out on me coz thy thought hw can i laugh on SRKs ( i mean Aman's) death.
Huh, my friends gave me a warning that next time if i do so, they will disown me publically...I just miss those days of catfight over film actors...he he he
Well next, the same week after 3 days, i was again in the same theatre with my uncle and bro watching the same flick...kitna atyachar??? makes me say Kal toh Kabhi Naa Ho :)
And a question that still remains unanswered: "How come Saif and Preity had a Caucasian child?" KJo...pls add some light on this..!

K3G
K3G will be one movie which will always be in my fond memories...not becoz of KJ and his stupid drama,,,,but becoz it was the first movie that i saw with my friends. First time all of us were out all by ourselves (toh kya hua even if it was a matinee show). It was the winters of year 2001 or we had already approached 2002 (i am not very sure). I was in class 11. We (my shcoolmates) had planned for this movie a long time ago and now it was the time to execute. Our parents wont allow us to go all by ourselves but we were successful in pursuading them. Got a friend's car to drop us to the theatre. Meanwhile, my best friend from Delhi also dropped in and i took her with me as well. We were 6 -Snu, Chandu, Soni, Shubha, myself, and bulbul.
As usual, i had to pick Chandu from mid-way coz she wont travel without me (well, i think i can write a complete blog on our everyday travel stories, she was a wonder who amazed me with the same excuses in new avatar every day, and somehow i have only waited for her, thats why now i get so impatient) :). We reached Snu's place and waited for her and as usual, Snu was late. Meanwhile, Chandu was losing patience coz she was worried of missing the imp advertisments that are displayed before the movie. She got nervous and hyper and warned us that if she missed one ad, she will move out of the cinema hall. Once we reached the theatre, we ensured that she reaches inside on time and we were successful. She got to see her Nirma and Vicco ads and we wers saved...
Next the movie started and we had full masti. It was a housefull show so there were claps, whistles, and loud applauses on many scene. And my buddies were no less. The funniest part of the whole trip was that as the movie reached the end, we were distracted by the cry of a child who was seated just behind us. It was the scene where Big B accepts SRK and Kajol..and he is hugging Kajol and Kareeena and crying....the child was crying in full volume...and we finally turned back...played with the kid, consoled him...and by the time we turned to the screen, we cud see the credit rolls.
Wat next? two days later, after the a/cs tution we visited SNU's place. She had invited us to watch the movie's ending :) We laughed, giggled and completed the movie...kya baat thi un dinon ki....i was very happy that for the first time, we got approvals from each of our parents to go and watch a matinee show :)
Miss those days!!!
