The Dostana Disorder!

I was enjoying a pleasant Saturday evening in solitude all by myself when I got a call from Mr. AT.

AT: What plans for Saturday evening?

OG: Nothing much.

AT: Great! I have a brainwave!!!!!

OG: ok ok ok!!! Which film do you want to see??

This Mr. AT dude is actually a very simple kid at heart!! And his interests are very few. I cannot believe that he is getting engaged in exactly 15 days!!!!!

AT: Do you want to see the film “Couples Retreat”? Mr. HPU and I wanna go.

OG: Are you sure that it is a good film? I hope it is not one of those stupid over the top mushy films.

AT: I saw the trailer. It seemed good.

OG: And the music is by Rahman; His first Hollywood venture. Ok, let us go for it.

And so, in the cold evening for the 10 PM show, our party of three; we reach the nearby theatre to watch the film.

OG: Can I have three tickets for the 10 PM show of “Couples Retreat”?

The pretty girl on the other side of the counter gave me a strange look.

The pretty girl: Do you want two tickets?

OG: Nope, I want three.

With a raised eyebrow, she gives us the tickets. And so, we entered the hall. On entering the hall, all I could see was couples seated in all the niche corners of the hall!!

It reminded me of “The Reclamation Area” in Bandra in its heydays. Just like how the couples used to give us dirty looks there, we got quite a few here as well! 😉

A cosmological study of the faces in the theatres betrayed many a diverse expressions. Some of them (conservative type) were shocked to see three guys together. Many of them (liberal folks) were quaintly interested and we felt as uncomfortable as the lion which is on display in the MGM casino in Las Vegas. There was not a single non-couple group in the entire theatre apart from us!!!!!

Anyways, the film was decent enough and I learnt another valuable lesson that day; not to EVER go for this genre of films here in America!!!!!! Definitely not with guys!!!!!!

One just lives and learns! 😛
