FUN STORIES ON FILM-GOING EXPERIENCES

Passionate cinema-goers will have loads of anecdotes of their theatre experiences – from buying tickets in the black market to tasting the first big pop-corn to finding there’s no ‘balcony’ in the theatre for the ‘balcony ticket’ you have been sold at a counter! These anecdotes, told humorously, will make this show on April 7. starting 8 pm. at Off Beat Ventures studio in R. A. Puram.

Comic Manoj Prabhakar and three others helm this show. Guests will be encouraged to share their own film-going experiences but not review films. Ticketed. Rs.299 per person.
