This is how it used to be when a sound went out in the middle of a picture in some cheapy theatres in Mumbai. Our college "Mandli" use to visit these cinemas where a ticket would cost anywhere between Rs. 5 to Rs 10.00.
Those were the pre-multiplexes days and sound used to go out very often. We used to enjoy the commotion every time sound went out. Being in the college we had the license to go insane. We used to shout " Datta Samant - Zindabaad, Datta Samant Zindabaad!" in response to these situations. Folks in the cinema hall used to get confused about the whole scene, about our political affiliations and the connection between veteran trade union leader Datta Samant and the film sound.
Koi puchta “ kiya party ke karya karta ho ?” to koi kehtaa “ yaar ye naare baazi ki kiya zaroorat hai awaaz hi to gayee hai?” ….Kaun log hain? College ke ladke lagte hain….
This week Rafiqi emailed me and sounded very much like " aye awaaj ...awaaj". The only difference, he was not protesting sound but non-availability of my film. I promised him next week is the week.
Nita says that I use my film as a pick up line now. Kamal hai...Idea accha hia waise.Thanks.
Anyways - Next week is the week!
