Ahmedabad, 28 October, 2011

This could be well narrated as Shahrukh Khan’s marketing mafiagiri if we take some liberty of language while coming at conclusion of the situation.

A group of youths decided to watch the film ‘Three musketeers’ and gathered information about this film’s shows through websites of multiplexes in proximity. Though they had decided to watch Three musketeers, optionally, they had decided to watch an English film.

As per the online details available on the websites of multiplexes, they reached one multiplex in Ahmedabad’s S.G.Highway area, but they were shocked to find that contrary to website, the multiplex was running only one film Ra-one in all screens in all shows. There was no option to watch any other film!!

This Multiplex had visibly canceled, or not allowed any other film’s screening, possibly to give away smooth business to Shahrukh Khan starer Ra-one.

So a group of film goers visited couple of other multiplexes nearby to find option, but sadly they too were showing only Ra-one in all screens, all the shows.

Difficult to say whether this same scenario is there in other multiplexes too!

And there’s no chance that the film can become flop after using such monopolistic trick!

So is it that, in these Diwali holidays, those wanting to go to film can only watch Ra-one, spending ticket price ranging from 100-200?
