Talkies: Abhiruchi
Persons: Harshal, Juilee.

We enjoyed at Prashant's home - Shree chi misal, Janaseva chi sabu khichadi ani batatawada.

At 2:30 we left his home, and went to Abhiruchi mall. It is exactly like Wallmart. We first booked the tickets and then wandered for some time in the mall.
The movie starts with a future scene, and then the entire story explains how that scene comes. This idea is not common in the movies.
I did not like the direction much. Some times, the movie loses the track.
After the movie, we again did shopping of only 2 bottles of mango juice from the mall. I was feeling to much impatient because of the crowd. Then we went to Vidya Mavshi's home to pick Aai.

Expenses:
Tickets: Rs. 100 X 2 = Rs. 200
Pepsi = Rs. 35
Coffee = Rs. 40

Time: 12:30 PM
Category: Natak
Talkies: Yashwantrav Chawan Natyagruha.
Persons: Harshal, Juilee, Aai, Baba.

We had lunch very early, and went to the natyagruha. This was the first show in Pune. There was Sanai-Chowghada playing live. As we entered the natyagruha, a girl welcomed us with a rose flower and calenders.
The natak was good. Joke jara balbodh vatle.... Jatra - Golmaal picture chya joke chi savay zalyamule!

In the interval, Sunil Barve spoke for couple of minutes about "Herberium" - juni natka parat navin sanchat ananyacha prayog.... 5 natak were done like this. This was the 5th and last one.
He also announced lucky draw... 11 vi row 13 number chi khurchi .. because it was 13/11 :-)
Tin anki prayog hota... in the interval we enjoyed batatawada.
The natak is about a fantasy - a person gets hypnotized and starts behaving differently at home. Bhaat Jadhav my favorite!
Tickets:
Rs 300 X 4 = Rs. 1200 (M - 26, 27, 28, 29)

Place: Lakdi Pul
Persons: Harshal, Juilee.

Fire-Wire show was arranged by Ranka Jewellers at Deccan.
We started from home at 6:30 PM. But, there were no rikshas. We somehow managed to walk till Anandnagar and there got one shared riksha. We got down at Alka Talkies and walked towards the Lakdi Pul. It was 7:05 PM, when we reached there on the pul. There were thousands of people and other bridges as well as river-side was also full of people. The fire show had already started and as we reached on the bridge, the "ban" and "rockets" started.

There were many colorful fatake in the sky for next 30 minutes. There were many "wow"s, "awsome"s, "aaishappath"s going around after each fataka.
We took some photo from Juilee's N80 mobile.

Place: Kesriwada
Persons: Harshal, Juilee.

I always like to do star-gazing. This time we went to Kesriwada for watching Jupitor.
There was a long queue. It was arranged by Jyotirvidya Parisanstha.
The queue started from the ground of Kesariwada and went upto the terrace. We stood in the queue for around 1 and half hour and finally reached to the telescope. First a person gave us some brief information about Juptior. There were many smart kids came with their parents and enjoying the show.
We were able to see Jupitor with bands of cyclones on it along with 4 moons (like below). We could not take photos, but I downloaded the below image from internet.

There was no ticket. It was FREE!

The Hole in 3D 18/3/2011

Date: 18/3/2011 Time: 7:15 PM Category: Movie Talkies: Inox Persons: Harshal, Juilee. I was in John Deere training break, when I saw the advertisement in newspaper in the afternoon. I immediately called up Juilee and ask her if she can come with me for "The Hole" - a scary movie. I knew Juilee does not like scary movies. But I insisted her that this movie is not so scary. She asked for some more time to think over this. In the evening she called me back and conveyed her acceptance. Ugich bhav khat hoti. :) She then went to inox and booked the tickets, as the online website was not working. I went there directly (Rikshawala took extra money from both me and Abdul Rawoof) I entered Inox and found Juilee shoping. She bought some wallet and some earrings. Then we fought over some of the things. Then we went upstairs and took the 3D goggles by paying the deposite. The map told us to return the goggles at Exit gate before leaving. I also took some popcorn and pepsi and samosa and we went inside. It was the row at back. The theatre was half-filled. The movie was very good till the interval. The hero finds a hole - and just before the interval - the fact reveals that whatever you scared off - come through that hole. Its a totally new concept. After the interval, the movies goes on the track of some fantasy - harry potter movies. But still its a good story. There are no much 3D effects. Juilee khup ghabarli hoti interval partyant.... dachkat hoti... ani mala chiktun basli hoti... hahahaha. We retunred home and ate mugachi khichadi - already prepared by Juilee.

Tickets:

Rs. 220 X 2 = Rs. 440 Refundable Deposite for 3D goggles: Rs. 100 X 2 = Rs. 200 samosa = Rs. 20 Popcorn = Rs. 20 Pepsi = Rs. 40

Juilee bought the tickets on phone. I went to Gandhrva hotel directly from office and Juilee also came there. She was looking fabulous. She had laready ordered baby corn fingers. They were good.
Then we ate alu paratha, onion masala dosa. LAter we also ordered butterscotch icrecream slice. Gandharva cha alooparatha aajun tasach lagto. khup chan asto. tyala teel lavlele astat.
Then we wanderd for sometime outside the Sambhajibag.
Natak thoda ushira suru zala. It started at 10:00 PM. It was funny. Bharat Jadhav is my one of the favorite. Galgale is the most liked character by everybody. Bharat Jadhav act for 4 persons, and changes his cloths and make-up very rapidly. He is a genious.
Natak finished at 12:30 AM and we reached home at 1:15 AM.

Expenses:
Gandharva: Rs. 125
Tickets: (Rs. 200 X 2 + Rs.10 for telephone booking) = Rs. 410

Tanu Weds Manu 9/3/2011

Date: 9/3/2011

Time: 7:30 PM

Category: Movie

Talkies: Citypride, Kothrud

Persons: Harshal, Juilee.

We dropped Aai and Baba to Pune Station and came to Ganesh Bhel in Karvenagar. We ate bhel and then went to citypride. Juilee bought the tickets.

The movie does not have a good story base. Ugich kahi pan dakhvaycha mhanun dakhavlay. Kangana does not know how to act. Only Rajendra Kumar and Navni Parihar are doing good in this movie. Rest all is waste.

Movie does not tell you why Kangana is like tapori and why Madhavan is coming from London leaving all his doctor's business, why Jimi shergil meets Madhavan, no logic.

Ticket = Rs. 130 X 2 = Rs. 260

127 hours 20/02/2011

Date: 20/02/2011
Time: 7:00 PM
Category: Movie
Talkies: Alka Talkies
Persons: Harshal, Juilee.


In the afternoon, we were searching for a good movie in newspaper and internet. We were about to decide upon 7 Khoon Maaf, but suddenly we saw trailer of 127 hours on IMDB and decided to go for it. We started from at 5:00, reached Alka at 5:30. Ticket window opens 45 minutes before the show. So we waited for some time and then booked the tickets A1, A2 - I was the first person.


Then we went to the hotel which is in front of alka and had coffee.


The movie was good. The picture quality and photo effects were best. There was no story. A man's hand gets stuck between mountain wall and a big stone.... and the picture shows his efforts to come out for next 2 hours.

After the movie, we ate Alu Paratha and Thalipeeth in Mehendale Garedge hotel.

Then we went to Laxman Mama home because Juilee wanted to draw mendi on Laxman Mami's hand.

Ticket: Rs. 35 * 2 = Rs. 70

Talkies: Citypride Kothrud

Persons: Harshal, Juilee, Aai, Baba.

Me and Baba first went to Laxman Mama home to fix his printer problem, and then went to Janaseva Bhojanalay. Juilee had already bought the tickets. Aai and Juilee came to Janaseva and we had heavy lunch. Then we went to Citypride and did some timepass.

The movie was good. Those days came in my mind when me, aai and baba used to go to those lakshya, ashok movies. The movie and songs are typical sachin, ashok, lakshya style. The movie is comedy but good to see only for one time. Its not as good as Ek daav dhobipachad.

Baba did not like it much.

Ticket = Rs. 130 * 4 = Rs. 520
