When was the last time you went to the cinema?

Heheheh

Erm.. I'm slightly confused Is it about the Year 10 thread?

Because of parents too?
Just get someone older to take you, and if it is your parents why don't they let you go?

My mum's never been to the cinema before.. She wasn't brought up in the UK. I guess that's why

It's also quite pricey.. I guess?

Hmm erm.. Take her!
Just a stab in the dark but does she think that all boyfriends and girlfriends go there kinda thing?

Its about £10 for an adult. But that's in 3D.

Which was the first film you guys watched in cinema?
Mine was Harry Potter and the order of phoenix...cinemas were a big deal for me then

I've never been..

...How is that possible?!?!?! No offence but do you not have any friends or something??

Aha lucky you! We never get Hindi films anywhere near here (down in Devon), I'd love to see one on the big screen

Do you actually pay to watch Hindi films?

Went to watch dhoom 3 as my first ever Hindi film. I'm glad I've avoided them before and since.

Sorry to hear that. It's a shame that there's not much interest in Hindi films in the South-West so I don't blame you for being disappointed. You should try and visit London whenever you get a chance, you can't escape Bollywood there! Also I think there are some cinemas in Bristol and Cardiff that show Hindi films pretty regularly.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from (originally) and what made you interested in Bollywood?




Yes I do pay to see them and I have done for the last 10 years or so. When I have the time (i.e. no interference from uni or exams) then I can end up watching one every week or 10 days, other times it can be every few months. I went to see Holiday today (as I mentioned previously that I would) as I haven't seen a Hindi film in the cinemas since February.

To be honest I'm not surprised you didn't enjoy Dhoom 3 if it was your first Bollywood film - you need to let go and believe that absolutely anything can happen on screen if you're going to properly enjoy a Hindi film. Plus if you're not familiar with the first 2 installments of the Dhoom franchise then you might not have known what to expect. Most people don't enjoy Hindi films because they're more extravagant and sometimes less realistic than Hollywood, particularly with stunts and comedy. If you only enjoy Hollywood films and stick too rigidly to their formula without experimenting a little bit with films you watch then you can't properly enjoy Bollywood. Most of them require you to leave your brain at home and focus on entertainment, as Dhoom 3 aimed to do. I thoroughly loved it but some of my friends disagreed and thought it was a mess, so you're not alone in thinking it wasn't a good film. If I were you, I would start with some of Shah Rukh Khan's romantic films from the 1990's to get a proper idea of why Bollywood has such a huge international following. Don't write it off just because you didn't enjoy one film - as I say to everyone, Bollywood has something to appeal to all tastes.
