The advent of multiplexes has brought many changes to the idea of watching films on the big screen. Earlier, cinemas served a basic purpose but not anymore. Then, the whole theatre mostly had one kind of seats but now screens are divided into normal seats and recliners. The recliners have an attached swivel table so that viewers can comfortably place their snacks on it. Also, many multiplexes serve food directly on the seat. While many have given this facility thumbs up as it saves them the hassle of going to the F&B counter and ordering food, a section of movie buffs has slammed the practice. They argue that it disturbs not just them but also those around them and can affect the moviegoing experience. Now, Aamir Khan has also joined the latter.
Aamir Khan makes an urgent appeal to the multiplexes: “DON’T serve food inside the screens; film ke beech mein theatre mein koi chalna NAHIN chahiye”
In an interview with Komal Nahta, Aamir Khan began by saying, “Smartphones arrived in 2005. That was 20 years ago. Thanks to smartphones and the internet, ab poori kaaynaat mere haath mein aa gayi hai. Earlier, our audience in cinemas was captive. Unka dhyaan aapke film pe hota tha. Aur kahin nahin hota tha. If they do not like the film, they’ll get bored and leave. There’s nothing else they could do.”
He continued, “Today, the audience is not captive. They are watching the film and also glancing on their phones. They even reply to messages or check how many likes or comments have appeared on their posts.”
Aamir Khan then exulted, “One thing that really disturbs me and I have told this to multiplexes – aap khana mat serve karo yaar! The scene is going on and someone comes and puts food in front of me. If you want to buy your food items, please do so before the film or in the interval. Usko aap organize karo at the start of the film. Film ke beech mein theatre mein koi chalna nahin chahiye. There should be no movement in the theatre.”
At another point, Aamir Khan clarified that he is not against consuming snacks while watching a film. He stated, “I don’t prefer distraction but I like to eat popcorn or samosa. But I buy the snacks before the start of the film. Or I buy in the interval. Beech mein mujhe hulchul nahin chahiye.”
