Food and Cinema are the Jack and Jill of the Indian subcontinent. You cannot have one fetching the pail without the other. For me movies and food have always had a special connection. I am well assured that come a time to watch movies and the worlds funk(not junk... you cannot call it junk if you eat it!) food crops right instantly in your head! She says tickets and I say popcorn. She asks for balcony seats, I want a side of nachos too.!! They aren't fancy foods are they? Cinema foods have been designed to be fattening and absolutely and exactly what you want at movies. Why you ask? Today I shall unravel the mystery myself.
It is confirmed that even in my most drunk state of mine(and in yours), I cannot imagine crunching down a bucket of popcorn corn or a pair of not-so-very-tasty-yet-extremely-expensive cinema samosas. But give me one yash raj flick on the big screen or let Disney build another one of its classics and my next question to the person coming with me to the movies is:
"kaunsa combo le? there's a bourbon biscuit free with the one costing 350 bucks!"(yea right!! tell me you haven't done that ever!!)
And that is the selling point behind these goods. You will not pay if you don't crave. And THEY WILL MAKE YOU CRAVE!!! What with all the creative LEDs, the numerous number of flavors you can create from the one dish that was born with the movies(POPCORN!!) and the beautiful number of times the servers come and tempt you with their offers to literally feed you while you are seated watching the movies. Those guys are like Devil's prodigies!! How are you suppose to survive!!
Needless to say I am eyes goggling and gobbling away to glory and I am down half a tub of caramel divine corn and a samosa and a cauldron full of Pepsi... And I don't care a hoots of whether the movie went great or not, my purpose was solved. I am satiated beyond belief.
And for the rest of you that are of the same race as me, you won't agree with me now. But Man of Steel is yet to release! And Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani was the recent baby in the market. Your mind will pull you far away behind those glittering fairy like counters.. But then you'll suddenly find yourself curling in the cinema with a tub or mosa in hand and then the company that you've come with can go to hell! You are sorrrtttedd boss!!!
