Veer Zaara
#I think the movie was good. In fact, one of the better ones in general. Not excellent, because the storyline was quite typical, but everyone has done their jobs well.
But my movie-going experience was not that great, because:
1. It was Naz8 - the worst-run movie theater I have seen, with the rudest people on staff.
2. We went at 4.30 for a 5pm show and by the time I went to the ticket window, the show was sold out. The 5pm line was at least 100 people long at 4.30pm! In fact the 6pm was also sold out! We got the 7pm show.
3. Which means, we had to kill 1.5 hours. We went to the nearby Starbucks, and a Barnes and Noble. Killed (yes, killed) the time there and went back in the line at about 6.10.
4. The ticket prices were raised to $10 only for this week! Rip off!
5. The line was irritating because even though when we came we were maybe the 10th in line, by the time they opened up, the twosome at the front called all their family and it was 15 of them by themselves!
6. There were a whole bunch of Nepali/Assamese-looking people who were waiting outside the line. Just before opening up the Veer-Zaara line the security called out for whoever was in line for Aitraaz and 2-3 of those Nepali/Assamese gang went in. The others still hung outside. When we went in, we realize that those 3 women had reserved the whole last row (8 seats) for their buddies! And those guys came in at the end and comfortably sat there. %$#$%#!!!
Too much of trouble around the movie to make it truly fun for me :-(
