Aal iz well.
Hello, Carnatic theatre?
Amanga....
3 idiots irakka? Yethra maNi show?
Irakku saar, 10.15 show sir.
Ticket available irakka?
Haan vaango saar.
OK thanks,
Ufff….my superb Tamil conversation got over. Finally I found a ray of hope to see the 3 idiots movie. That too after 2 unsuccessful attempts. On Monday night that too after having dinner at 8.30 I made this plan. Most of my plans work at last moment only. Sometimes I use say, “except marriage everything in my life has happened at Nth moment. Fortunately that did not happen at Nth moment”.
Generally I go for movie on weekdays. Advantage is crowd will be less. I need not wait in long queue. That too for impatient man like me….naah.
I told “Get ready by 9.30” to my wife.
So we reached Carnatic theatre by 9.50 PM.
I saw the crowd. It was pretty descent that too on Monday night at 10.15PM show. Most of them are Marwadis and Gujjus. Theatre is a best place to find them in a crowd. Elephant’s cousins and their white slim daughters were waiting for the show.
I was standing in ticket counter and one female in sports pant and sleeveless top, earrings bigger than bangles was standing behind me. Sorry I can’t stare now …I lost the right to watch chicks.
Chillare illanga, chillare kodanga…ticket issuer was blabbering in Tamil.
I was busy in buying ticket. I gave correct change to him and took 2 tickets.
“Excuse me, how much is the charge for one ticket? “ female voice asked at me.
I turned back. Same female asked this question. No doubt she is a North Indian immigrant. So I became a communication bridge between her and ticket counter. She took a ticket and we move out.
Finally it was 10.15 and sat in the theatre. Same couples were sitting beside me. My right wife was sitting and left she came and sat. Sudden change … her boyfriend or fiancé whatever displaced her like a chemical replacement reaction.
So movie got started and whole theatre was in laugh riot. I got almost got a stomach pain after the Chatubhuj’s balatkar speech.
What happened? This guy is not at all giving any expression. I was curious, from which planet that guy must be. He must not be a northy, because you will not keep quit after listening to that speech. If he is a Tamlian (generally can’t understand Hindi) then why the hell he has not helped her to buy tickets?
Yes he is Chatubhuj’s brother, Shatbhuj. Waste fellow came to theatre to see one of the hilarious movie of the year. I think he must be born in Solomon Island, at least with the scenarios and sequences also you will laugh like anything.
Sometimes I was finding very difficult to see the screen. You know why? One porcupine was sitting in front of me. I mean to say one Ching pong (Mongolian race) was sitting there with so called latest hair trend with some hard gel to keep it straight. I wish I had a lawn mower, so that I could have chopped his wild grass kind of hair.
With all these obstacles the whole movie was very refreshing. I felt like I have gone back to last decade.
Sometimes I crib on god why I use to meet that kind of people in bus, train and theatre. In train I use to get middle birth with two chain saws, one on upper and other on lower births. In bus I have tendency to get a very fat fellow who consumes half of my seat also.
Whatever it may be, aal iz well…..
