EXCLUSIVE: Inox R City Ghatkopar at it again; | Indian Movie News
In the post-pandemic period, there was a renewed curiosity to watch re-releases or particular screenings of older classics on the large screen. Hence, many such reveals typically get bought out or have high occupancy. And when patrons journey from one half of town to one other only to notice that the show has been cancelled, one can think about the frustration. This is what occurred on Saturday, June 14, during the particular show of Khuda Gawah (1992), starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi, held at Mumbai’s Inox R City Ghatkopar.
The show was scheduled for 5:30 PM in the 160-seater audi of Screen 7. Just around the show time, the management knowledgeable the patrons that the show had been cancelled as the content material hadn’t been delivered to the cinema corridor. As per studies, the show had an occupancy of almost 90%, that is around 140-145 people have been current. As anticipated, the patrons created a ruckus.
Bollywood Hungama spoke to Sriram Jay. He revealed how issues unfolded, “I had booked the tickets of Khuda Gawah in advance. At the entrance, the QR code on my ticket wasn’t getting scanned despite multiple attempts. Then I was told that there is no show of Khuda Gawah and that it was replaced by Final Destination Bloodlines. The manager approached me. He said they didn’t receive the content of the film. He was shocked to know that I wasn’t called and informed about Khuda Gawah’s cancellation.”
He added, “I came to the theatre with great expectations and excitement to watch Khuda Gawah. There was almost 90% occupancy. Some patrons created a scene at the booking counter and refused to go back. This is so unprofessional. Imagine spoiling the weekend like this!”
He added, “The patrons were very upset. Some came all the way from Andheri; some even came from Panvel. I totally empathize with them. Someone called the BookMyShow customer care over this episode and they made it clear that they were not informed by the cinema hall over the cancellation of the show.”
The theatre supplied a refund or allowed viewers to watch one other movie in the multiplex. Sriram Jay revealed, “I paid Rs. 300 for two tickets for Khuda Gawah. The management told me to select another movie which I did – Materialists – but the cost of the ticket was much higher. However, they were kind enough not to charge the difference; they adjusted against the amount of Rs. 300 that I had originally paid.”
He continued, “But the point here is that modern cinemas are very casual about such incidents. They feel, ‘We are saying sorry and refunding the money’ is enough as compensation. But what about deficiency in service? What about the loss of experience?”
This is the second such incident in Inox R City Ghatkopar in the final 30 days. In May, a annoyed moviegoer posted a video after the show of the Hindi model of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was cancelled, that too after making the attendees wait for half-hour. In the video, the theatre staffer might be seen explaining that the movie couldn’t be performed as the KDM wasn’t delivered. However, the Reddit person claimed that the show couldn’t be performed as the projectionist wasn’t out there. What angered the patrons was the lackadaisical perspective of the workers and refusal to cancel the food orders; the moviegoers as an alternative have been informed to take the popcorn home. The video went viral and was lined by a number of information web sites as effectively.
