Dollar Movie

I had a very strange movie going experience tonight.  As I was walking to my favorite restaurant this afternoon I noticed a theater that was playing the new Hunger Games movie for only 60 rupees so I couldn't resist.  The theater looked more like a theater for a play, or maybe a very large school auditorium.  The movie is only available in Hindi and English and since people in Karnataka speak about as much Hindi as those in Tamil Nadu (the official language here is Kannada), we were watching the un-dubbed version.

Open stalls in the women's restroom?  No thanks
There was not one woman in the theater, I don't think they go out at night here.  It wasn't like a normal movie theater; people were smoking and talking on their cell phones, and they paused the movie in the middle for an intermission.
