Lakshmi Theatre

Lakshmi Map

This blog is my personal experience which is going to be based on the moral of this blog "Are we Thinking out of the Box".
In many ways, People are like the buzzard, the bat and the bumblebee. We struggle about with all our problems and frustrations, never realizing that all we have to do is look up.

It's all about Lakshmi Theatre. The One of the famous cinema theatre in Madivala (bangalore) that is near to my home. This theatre is special for me, as, it reminds me the above moral.

A year back, I got a transfer from Trivandrum to Bangalore. Being a movie (theatre) freak and new to the city, I want to fullfill my appetite in both. I want to watch new movies releasing in city and also roam around the city. The solution or strategy I have followed is that, if a new movie was released in the city, I would watch the movie in a theatre for which i havent been before.

For everything, there is a starting point. Starting point for this exploration was began with the search of theatre "Aruna" for the movie "Pattiyal". I dont want to go into the movie details, however, it is a good movie, almost pithamagan remade.

After almost one month, I was still living there in Madivala(Bangalore). I have watched a movie in Forum. I felt that I was getting narrowed down. The initial aspiration was not there anymore, anyway, I wouldnot let my ignition switch off. It was at those time, I came to know about Lakshmi Theatre in Tavarakere near Madivala. I dont remember what was my first movie in Lakshmi Theatre.

We took the Auto and we memorised the route all the way to the theatre. After Reaching there, We estimated the distance from home and as per our calculations, the movie theatre was not so far, jus 20 min walk. Thanks to the Auto for showing the way. After watching the movie, we were back home by the same route on walk.

Almost three months have gone. By this time, we have watched the some three to four movies Don , Superman Returns, Dhoom etc in the same theatre. All the time, we have taken the same route.

But that is not all. One fine day, when I was returning from Taverekere, I find a narrow street going straight just before the usual route. I have decided to try that street. voila. You wont believe me. It takes me directly to the back of my house. Its just five minutes walk.. :)

This is one such small event that happened to me. But after that I came across lots of similar incidents however, this is significant compared to others as the impact of this incident was quite long i.e, three months.

Dual Role

Eversince my childhood, I loved watching movies. Its like living a dream and it's a wild fantasy. With the advent of technology, We the humans, were able to achieve a new dimension in Movies and "Dual role" is one common tweak in movies. Usually , Its One person playing two Characters in a film like twins, Father & Son etc and often (Esp. In Indian Movies), there would be some imperfection in screen when these two characters come together in the screen. Its really surprising to see two identical characters together. Just imagine how it would be if I was standing in front of you as two Aruns. Happy .. Right...So.. lets go to action. Lets assume that the twins were discussing about how to play dual role. The following simple bold two points explains how three aruns come to live in the above photo.. Just Visualize it..It is simple... 1) Take two (or more) photos with camera in same position while object(u) in different places Though there were many ways, This method redu

Katrathu Kaiyalavu

There was a Girl, who was Tall & Thin & Fair, her Hair, her Hair, was a color of Ginger An English Rhymes from the Tamil Movie, "Katrathu Tamil", One of the Excellent movie of the year, packed with interesting, informative dialogs and intuitive screenplay. Achan kovil, Xaviers College, Tirunelveli (My Dad graduated there), munusaamy(A tamil Graduate), takes me back and forth in time. Even the dumb story of a dream tiger which is dreaming about the dream desert, adds unknown beauty to the movie. A One line about IT... "If India is a growing, it has to be equivalent in all industry. if only Leg (IT) is growing, it is a Disease (yaanai Kaal), we have to cure it." explains the impact of IT over other industry. Just like real life, this movie has got no logic :) Unlike my earlier blogs on Movies, This blog going to be a sketch of incidents that cames to my mind while watching this movie. Incident 1: Guindy, 04:30 pm, I have just reached the Gandhi Mandapam Bus

Blog Updates

Past four days, I have been doing some changes to the blog that should have caused some web outages of my blog. I am sorry, if you are one of those who caught in the mid. But the sad to note, is that I have revert back all the changes that i made to blog, as I was dissatisfied with my changes. Anyways, Blogs, the new medium of sharing, consumes more time (kills time) and in addion to that, it needs to be arranged in a proper order. Few days back, I have posted a video on my Edinburgh trip made by Chirag, soon more videos were yet to be released, under the category "video series", I have to ensure that the size of the video is less, so that many can view it without any problems.
