Sivaji (The Boss) - The Market is Bullish

The other day I was having a casual chat with my friend over the phone. The theme for discussion, discourses and debates usually varies from beautiful females at work and neighbourhood, the rare appreciation email from client (say client X) pathetically negated by the frequent apology emails to client (client X again), degree of happiness about the recent hike, impending bonus expectations and connected rumours, future course of action, recent interview goof-ups….(don’t you think this is an unnecessary paragraph..?)
One such theme was Sivaji – The Boss (stress the capitals please) Starring Superstar Rajni Kanth (stress the capitals again, please). My friend Purushotham told me his boss has warned his entire staff not to take leave on June 15, and in case, anyone has got a Sivaji ticket, he is willing to pay double the face value. He continued, his boss doesn’t even seem to read newspapers and watch channels like CNBC, Headlines Today, Etv, Maatv, Zeetv, Startv, Asianet, Suryatv, Fashiontv (this wasn’t there in his list though) being fully rocked by a variety of dedicated, properly planned, Rajni-rich, Sivaji-rich, full-time shows and voting schemes thereby pissing off bollywood wannabe's. Or why the hell would my friend Purushotham's moron boss insult a ‘sivaji ticket’ by his interest to pay double the face value? Sivaji or fun, eh? Sivaji ticket-prices are skyrocketting each day. Adding to the misery is the fact all second-rung theatres (like Laxmi, Lamba, Priya, Radhika, Shanti, Devi – I just wonder why most of the theatres are feminine) have already shut their box-offices, perhaps 3 weeks ago. (They dont have plans to open it for the next 4 weeks as well) Price-range in second-rung theatres (like - just to reiterate - Laxmi, Lamba, Priya, Radhika, Devi – I am still wondering why most of the theatres are feminine) ranged between 1200 – 1500 /- per ticket (INR not Japanese Yen)
I have seen and personally experienced those families which pull through each month with a mere Rs 1000/-. Now the ticket rate wavering in the price band of 1200 – 1500/- makes me feel sick. Makes me hate movies all together. On that note, I resolve. I resolve big time - I WILL NOT WATCH SIVAJI..
any idea when the pirated Dvds would be out?
