Imagine you are watching a movie in cinema hall and the whole audience burst out laughing. Has this ever happened with you? No, no, not ‘coz of the film but for how the audience reacted to a certain scene in it. In most cases, your baaju-waala gives you more entertainment than the movie that you are watching. Isn’t it?
An oh-so-interesting discussion about cinema hall experience caught my attention on Reddit this morning and it is cracking me up since then.
A Reddit user, u/Darsh_dns_ quizzed netizens to enlighten everyone about their hilarious experiences of watching movies in theatres. “What was your funniest theatre-going experience?” Sharing his own anecdotes of watching Race 3 and Judgementall Hai Kya, the user said:
I went to watch DisgRace 3 with my friends in Bangalore. There’s this scene in the movie where Selmon confronts DJ Bobby & Lazy Shah and utters this immortal, under-rated line – ‘har kahaani ke do pehlu hote hai, two Pehlu’s’ and some guy behind me facepalms and goes ‘Aree Bhadwee’ and half the theatre cracked up. The other one was when I was watching Judgmental hai kya? with my friends and after the interval, there was this guy 2-3 rows back who kept going ‘accha’, ‘hmm, ‘theek hai’, ‘bahut sahi’ etc. every time Kangana said a dialogue on screen. It was irritating at first, but funny later on as half the audience was bored anyway (sic).
