So far as the "MALLS" go , we had Big Bazar and Pyramid in Nagpur for quite a number of years . The first MALL with multiple screens by INOX opened in Nagpur only Last year . Anuj and Puja had managed to attend the inaugration as they had managed to get couple of "passes" from Puja's dad . The place is located 15.75 K Ms from our house .
In 1994 when we had settled in Nagpur after having been posted to places Like Shillong , Sulur , AirHeadquarters ( staying in Noida) etc, we were amazed when we heard the Nagpurians saying that any thing beyond couple of K Ms was very far !!! I am afraid after 13 long (?) years in Nagpur we still don't consider couple of K Ms as too far but have reached a stage where 15.75 K Ms IS far !!! That was the reason we had not seen a single movie in the INOX . On its all India release latest Harry Potter film was released in Inox and Smruti . In Inox it was in English and in Smruti it was in Hindi . Generally English films released in nagpur are in Hindi . Not that people in Nagpur don't understand English but it is still true that English films released in Nagpur are in Hindi .However in Inox English Harry Potter was IN English !Anuj and Puja offered to give us a treat and show us the film . So Priti and I went to the Inox for the first time after it had been in operation for more than a year and a few months . We have a DVD player at home and bring home the CDs of the movies we want to see . The TV has three speakers and there are two speakers with the DVD . Anuj has positioned the speakers in such a way that it gives effect of surround sound - home theatre . Still the sound effects in the theatre came as a revelations . I also feel that the theatre owners have kept it slightly louder that what is required ! Enjoyed the film . Having already seen earlier four movies and grown to an age where the belief in magic is on the wane , it did not thrill as had done the first Harry film . Still it was good and as we say " paisa wasul " . The sound effects were really terrific , at times one could even feel vibrations in the seat !!!! Our "home theatre" is no match for the real thing !!!!! There after Anuj and Puja took us to see " Gandhi my father ". More of that later . Call it day now .
