SRK versus Dhanush

Youngsters in the city debate between Dilwale and Thangamagan for the FDFS


COIMBATORE: KG Cinemas is a sea of youngsters. A hundred bikes are parked in front of the entrance. Cars honk angrily at the noisy youngsters who are obstructing their way and taking selfies. There are die-hard film buffs in the crowd, who have been waiting for hours to get hold of those morning show tickets and their faces glow with excitement as they wait for their favourite star's film to begin. All of them for Dilwale?" Well, not really. The crowd is for the Dhanush-starrer Thangamagan."Shah Rukh Khan is good, but Dhanush is the South Indian rock star," squeals Nandini Chandrasekar, a student of PSG College of Arts and Science. She and her friends are big Dhanush fans but they also watch Hindi films. "But, when it comes to first-day-first-show, the priority is always for Tamil cinema!"

SRK is a little too old-fashioned for a few others. They would rather watch Dhanush. "He is a perfect boy-next-door material," says a starry-eyed Subharanjani, who has also come with her friends.
However, there are also those who are loyal to King Khan. Like Anjana Ramesh, a bubbly college student. "I am a loyal supporter of Kolkata Knight Riders. And, come on, he is after all the King Khan! Of course, it will be a super-duper hit." But, she too says her first preference is Thangamagan.

G. Ayyappan, the operational manager of KG Cinemas, is hopeful about Dilwale's collection. "A Shah Rukh Khan film is our top priority. We have allotted it Screen 1, which is one of the largest screens in the theatre, with 545 seats. We are hopeful that the film will make money. A preview was screened yesterday in the Central Theatre. We have received a good response."

The situation inside the film hall is quite different from the lukewarm response outside. There are around 300 people and most are youngsters. As the titles roll, there are wolf whistles and applauses. The audience grow even more animated when Kajol appears and a magical love story unfolds in a picturesque Bulgaria amid flying cars and men clad in dark suits.

There are more whistles during Gerua'. There are catcalls every time there is a romantic scene between Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan. Kajol wins over the audience, especially when she strides on the screen like a female don, revolver in hand and a squad of gangsters for company.

"I loved the flying cars and action scenes. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol look so young and good together," says Kunal a college student during the interval. For many, it was like being back to the good old times of Kuch Kuch Hota Hain and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Steffi Katherine and Kribhashini Jayakumar, two die-hard fans of the onscreen couple, had not even told their parents that they were coming for the movie. "We could never imagine missing this film. And, it is indeed worth all the hype!"

However, the magic does not stay for long. Post-interval, the audience's attention span peters off. They twiddle their thumbs, check their phones and pass comments during slapstick humour scenes that fall flat. There are yawns and cries of despair as Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Varun Sharma take up more screen space than Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in the second half.

However, the SRK-Kajol romance keeps the audience hooked till the end. Even though, the melodrama gets a tad too much, they actually wait for the last credit song, Tukur Tukur' to finish before leaving the hall. "It was 100 per cent satisfying. It is a typical Shetty film, with humour and action. We loved the cars in the films," says Shashyanth Ram, a college student.
As we emerge out of the theatre, there is already a queue for the next show. We overhear a set of youngsters debating whether they should go for Diwale or not. It looks like they too did not get tickets for Thangamagan and are settling for the Shetty flick as a second option. If not for anything else, this set of crowd "who are desperate to watch any movie" might help DDilwale rake its moolah in the local theatres of Coimbatore.
