Pillum !

Had a great cinema experience the other day. Went to see a "pillum" in an old style cinema hall in Dehra Dun. Huge it was. About 1000 people in the stalls and about 300 in the Balcony or circle. Packed to the rafters. Whenever the goodies in the movie would come on screen the stalls would errupt with clapping. Whenever a good looking girl appeared wolfwhistles could be heard. The cinema itself was filthy but the atmosphere was classic. At 40 rupees for a circle ticket ( I believe stalls are 20 rupees or about 25 pence) you cannot complain. The movie.....well it was a comedy lifted straight from "Lock stock and two smoking barrels" but in Hindi so catering for a hindi audience. It was fun enough.....but no where near as good as the original:))

Peace and love
