Ghajini the Aamir Khan starrer was supposed to release on the 25th. So went to Navina to buy our tickets. Around 10 jon jabo. Me,Upamanyu,Aritra,PrithvirajM,Tanmoy,Saptarshi & aro koyekjon. I was in for a shock thn. All tickets had been blacked off & we were left at the mercy of the ‘blackers’. First-day-first-show. So many had already decided to go. There was no coming back. 40 bucks tickets being sold at 80 min. That too those front seats. Finally we got hold of a gunda-marka man. He told me that if we bought at least 8 we wl get them for 70.
Tai cholbe,we decided. I shelled out 200 bucks & upamanyu 500. The gunda-marka man took us to Pilu fighting off all the other blackers. We reached Pilu who was quite an old man. Strangely looked quite bhodro sobbhyo. Got 10 tickets. 700 bucks. Front row. ‘W1’ to ‘W10’. Cant help. At least saved 100 bucks. Had to celebrate that only. At least we will be watching ‘Ghajini’ first-day-first-show with so many frnds. 70 bucks is ok. Only prblm was 1st row. & we came home happy. But somebody somewhere is determined to foil all our attempts to watch it. Came home. Mundu called. Madras HC has given an order to stall the release of the movie on 25th because of some production problems. & we r in a soup now. Probably we all wl go. Do some bowal. End up watching some crap movie 1st row 70 bucks.OMG. Crappy luck. But 1 thing is for sure. Masti hochhe.
P.S. R konodin Navina theke black e ticket katbo na.tate movie dekha na hole na hobe. R pilu r theke to kinboi na.
