Loud cheers started from the crowd (Well… WE WERE THE CROWD)… So finally the movie AMALL began… First 5mins it was all going fine. Movie looked good, they were still showing the names of all people in the movie. Then it happened. Nobody had thought about such a thing would hit them. From the first frame of the movie, people started to point out mistakes. So most people started making fun of the characters in movie including the super duper hero. Well, it was a hindi movie afterall and the hero in question was not among the popular in our class. This was bound to happen and it happened. This continued till the interval and since there were seldom any people watching movie in the theatre, it really did not matter how much noise we were making. The hall looked like anything but a cinema hall. The first relief finally came when we saw some scribbling on the giant screen which kind of read as “Interval”. The whole of first half of movie had one song repeating again and again. Everyone of the 25 people ran out to get some fresh air. Half of them were already thinking of just leaving the theatre right there. Finally after a 5mins gap, everyone decided to just go in once again and have some more fun by making funny comments on the movie. So the second half was about to start.

Suddenly we realized that one person from our gang was missing. It was funny, we had seen him enter the hall after interval, but now he was not in our group. We looked around in the hall, but we could not see him because of the darkness. Anyway after 5mins of vain searching, we continued with our normal chitchat stuff. The movie was just going on and on and it everyone was now starting to get desperate to get out. The movie was going to the limits of torture. Around 10 people started walking out of the hall, since they could not tolerate anymore. So here we were sitting and waiting for the end of the movie to come. Finally there it was, the movie finally ended. Ofcourse it was a happy ending since we were all getting out from the torture hall. At this point of time, we realized that the trailers were just the amazing part of the whole 3 hours. And once we came out, we found that missing guy out there. We asked him where he had disappeared suddenly, and immediate reply was “Oh…I was actually sitting in the last row and meditating!!!”. Aaah… there… meditation in the torture hall. Nice idea to try to relax, we thought and then the person who had suggested this movie was surrounded by the whole of 25 people. Now she really had to come up with some nice reason for suggesting this movie without which she would not be spared by the tortured group. The reason came out as “Dint you people really enjoy the movie? It was so nice. I liked it so much. You should appreciate the hard work that goes in for making a movie…. Blah blah blah”. She went on and on giving out reasons and one by one everyone started to get out of this another torture session. This was the first instance of watching such a underrated movie. Ofcourse even after such a movie, we again fell for the same girl’s suggestion on 3 more occasions. But none of them were as horrible as this one. Hence this movie stands out as the best of the worst movies our class group has ever watched.
Oh btw, the movie was AMALL – Aap Mujhe Acche Lagne Lage.

AMALL… THE MOVIE – Part – 1 –

You people must be wondering what AMALL stands for… Keep waiting for a little bit longer, you will know the expansion. So now let me give you a hint of what you will be reading in coming paragraphs. This blog is about people from college bunking the class to see a junkie movie. Yes after a week long discussion on which movie to watch, it was finally decided that around 25 people from our class would be going to this so called movie AMALL. Everyone were wondering would we get tickets for this movie.. etc etc ( The usual worries ) and finally decided that all people would be going to theatre a clear one hour prior to the start of the movie and take chance of buying the tickets. Oh btw, we had all decided to go to a morning show. So a clear one hour prior to movie start means we had to be at theatre by 10.

So finally I arrived at the theatre at 10 past 10 to see only 3 of my classmates on time. The ticket counters were empty and there was no hurry to buy the tickets. It was really shocking to see such an empty theatre especially when the movie got released just a week ago. This was probably a hint on what followed next, but unfortunately nobody seemed to get that hint. So we decided to buy tickets once everyone arrives. So now here was a tricky situation, I was alone, and the 3 classmates who had arrived were girls. And by the past history our class girls do not come close to having any girly characteristics. They were commonly termed as “Unruly girls”. Hence the constant fear was always there before talking to them. Being a daring guy, I had to talk to them somehow. So I slowly approached them, they were having some private giggling conversation. Ignoring their giggles, I went and said “Hi, so how long have u all been here?”. One of them replied “15mins. So u came now?”. (What a dumb question. Should I say “No I am still on my way”) instead replied “Eh… Yeaaaah!!!”… At this time, one of my close friend arrived. First time I was very pleased to see him at right time. Then he just said his formal “namaskara” and then we both proceeded to talk on our games stuff. Soon one by one, all 24 people had arrived and we were waiting for one guy (Who was known for his untimely appearance…). One of us called him and as usual we got a reply saying he will be reaching in 5more mins. So we asked him to buy his won ticket and enter cinema hall. We 24 bought the tickets and went into theatre. We saw few people here and there but by large ours was the biggest group in whole theatre. This was a good license for us to scream and shout whatever we want since it would not disturb anyone ignoring the empty chairs.

The big screen lit up with a few ads followed by 3 trailers. The trailers were probably the best part for next 3 hrs, only we dint realize it at this point of time. Loud cheers started from the crowd (Well… WE WERE THE CROWD)… So finally the movie AMALL began…
