A good day for a movie

I've been accustomed to spending Sunday afternoons at my hotel poolside, enjoying the sun and relaxing.  Since my previous visit, the hotel has added new poolside furniture and the chairs now have comfortable mattresses.  Last Sunday's few hours of pool and sun were great.  Sadly, this Sunday is not such a day.  What started out overcast has turned to rain. 

Fortunately, today I'm going with coworkers to see a movie.  It's not Bollywood (Hindi language), but rather in the local Telugu language (Tollywood).  The film is entitled Don Seenu.  I've read it's about a man who wants to become the greatest mafia don ever.  Sound like Scarface?  Well, not quite.  I don't recall much song and dance in Brian De Palma's film, but they seem to be mandatory in Indian cinema. 

Having seen the trailer on YouTube, I'm hopeful that the film will be humorous and enjoyable despite my lack of the local language. 

I've never seen a film in India.  I hope they serve popcorn.

  1. Well how was it? What was the theater like? Open seating or assigned? Were there balconies? How were the concessions? What choices were there? Are they as overpriced there as they are here? How was the film itself?
