Going to the Movies

Yesterday I experienced going to the movies in Kathmandu. A friend and I went to the local cinema yesterday afternoon and were thrilled with the outcome. The movie playing was an Indian made Bollywood film and it was great! The movie was full of song and dance numbers and was about a love story between two people who meet at a train station. The other Nepalese movie goers around us were especially boisterous and laughed wildly at the scenes that had anything to do with romance and also when there were any swear words. My friend and I could not understand the whole movie but we got the general gist of it. The movie it seemed was in a mix of languages including some English and some Hindi. There were English sub-titles but they were not really well written so produced a most hilarious narration for us Westerners. Great fun!
