Female viewer is fed up of unruly audience
The user took to share her experience in a video where she said in Hindi, “Today I went to watch Saiyaara. Firstly, it's my bad luck that I reached late for the show, but then when I heard the kind of commentary that was being made about the film by the men of Meerut… It's of a different league. A love story is shown, there is an emotional scene, and they are making it funny. Please let me watch it in peace. I came alone. They did not let me watch it properly.”
She went on to add, “The movie is very good, but what can I say? Half of the time, I saw men kicking my chair, some shouting, others unnecessarily put the flashlight on… they are standing and shouting. Sab apne aap ko samajh rahe the hero (Everyone was thinking they were the hero). During the kissing scene, they made noises. Then there is another crowd who are discussing their own life story while the movie is going on, saying ‘When will you get your girlfriend?’, and clicking pictures. Why are you doing this? Watch this film on OTT, there's no point in watching it in a theatre.”
Several other users commented on the post to admit that even they faced a similar scenario in theatres in different cities. Many complained that the audience have become extremely unruly.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara tells the story of a hot-headed singer named Krish Kapoor (Ahaan), who falls in love with Vaani Batra (Aneet), a lyricist who writes poetry. The film has been doing great business at the box office and has already crossed ₹80 crore in Indian theatres.
