Spice Cinemas in Noida, which is considered to be one of the best cinemas in NCR and one of the costliest too, it was an agonizing experience when we went to see the 10:20 PM show of the movie "The Town" on Saturday, October 9th 2010.
The projector of the Audi 5, where the movie is being featured, was faulty and still the irresponsible and arrogant management went ahead to sell out the tickets. What was worse to know, was the fact that the projector has been in a faulty condition for over the past 6 months and no measures have been taken to correct it.
When the viewers, including us, protested against this, nothing was done to sort out the issue and a good 2 hours of our time was wasted. No one from the senior management was available or showed any interest in coming over to sort things out.
To make the situation worse, the management sent over some cops to disburse the viewers. The cops were clearly in no mood to listen to the viewers and were just supporting the staff of Spice cinemas. No compensation or apology was given to the viewers who did not get to see the movie and wasted 2 hours of time hoping that some justice would be done.
But then it's India where bribery and bureaucracy prevails and all Government departments shine in this. This was just another example.
Well, I think whoever was there for the movie yesterday, will think twice before visiting Spice Cinemas.
