Actually there was probably 30 of us in all shapes and sizes - ranging from 13 year olds to 30 year olds, we’d booked out 2 long rows in the Cinema to watch Mangal Panday (The Rising). It was funny passing the popcorn up and down, and sipping on coke not knowing who’s lips it touched last. Haven’t done a ‘group’ movie in a while … I really felt like I was back home with all my cousins.
Quite a good movie by the way. Rani Mukherjee is a prostitute and Amisha Patel kisses a gora soldier!
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
uh-uh. See the thread wasn't about the movie, it was about the bringing together of 30 Pakistani kids into a cinema hall.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
I wish there was more desi theaters here :(. The closest one is in VA, and I think there might be like two more around the DC area.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
Here the normal theatres play the hit bollywood movies, along with the hollywood ones.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
wow you mean all regular theaters play bollywood movies?!..or is it just certain ones.
oh and I have a question..Are the desi movies that play in theaters here the recent ones that have just come out there or are we like a few months behind here?
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
It's all the recent ones ...hollywood movies open like a week or two after you guys, bollywood movies are played at the major cinemas, not the small ones, so no not at every theater. Bollywood movies are all the latest like this one The Rising and Barsaat is coming out soon and theyre playing a couple of others im not interested in.
Re: 20 desis all in a row…
Oh lord, I never drink from someone else’s drink. You never know where those lips been.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
I consider watching movies in a theater en group to be a fairly unsocial activity. However, I know a few people who'd insist on taking others with them, when all you do once you are in the dark theater is watch the movie is complete silence, and then go home. About the only elements of social interaction are standing in the line for the tix and after the movie to criticize it. Passing coke cups etc, is probably just an added bonus.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
yeah My uni shows Indian movies, and only smelly indians go to watch em
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
watz the point of this thread? plz explain
Re: 20 desis all in a row…
Youre right about the absense of any social activity. But what solution can you offer to this problem? One would be to not go to movies at all. Which kinda defeats the purpose of having this problem. The other is rent a movie and watch it at home… but then you cant find the latest flicks on DVD while theyre still playing at the movies.
I think its okay if theres 2 or max 3 people going to watch it. Especially if youre a kind that cant live without commenting at every dialogue and every scene, then you need someone to be there to listen to your commentary - even if its whispered. I usually go with 2-3 people. Maybe its a different kind of social activity. You share laughs, thrills, chills, suspense, mysteries etc. All without having to talk alot.
And if its an AMC theatre then one can pull up the arm rest and do a whole lot of other things, depending on one’s orientation.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
you are lucky that you did'nt got reported by some white-ass telling police that there are 20 tanned-skin desis enjoying in the theather. its very dangerous to be a desi these days expecially those who enjoy in public. :P
Re: 20 desis all in a row…
whats good in that! ur going out is fine but for a sleezy indian movie 
Re: 20 desis all in a row…
That was the coke? I thought it was the spitoon for us guys with chewing tobacco.
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
How sad that it takes an Indian cause for us Pakistanis to get together. It is NEVER the other way around.
Re: 20 desis all in a row…
would you have said american cause if it was a hollywood movie 
y does india have to be such a big deal for some of us :rotato:
rather it was a movie in theatre cause
Re: 20 desis all in a row...
Yea I've only been to a desi theater once and I don't think I'll ever be going back to one. Can't resist from making fun of it.
