Last week my group and I, along with around thirty other westerners, stuffed into the local, bootlegged basement movie theater in McLeod Ganj to watch the final Harry Potter movie for 130 rupees—a steal, except for the part where the Russian pirated copy failed to download the last 20 minutes (or maybe the recorder got kicked of the movie theater), leaving us hanging right at the part where Harry and Voldemort start fighting to the death.Sure, I guess we saw most of it, but I feel like this is a great parallel to my own experience. The end just might be the most important part of the story, or at the very least, something you would pay an additional 20 rupees for to have closure.
So stay tuned.
Hm, that is really interesting that it cost so much for a bootleg version. We went on opening night here in Hyderbad. It was 250 rupees for imax 3d.
ReplyDeleteAre you serious??? Yeah, Dharamsala is pretty pricey. So jealous.
