Give me my space for 150 bucks please!

The retail boom and the multiplex boom in Urban India have coincided alright, but it's rather evident that the former hasn't benefited the latter. I mean why is there no, and I repeat no movie theater where you can walk through the isle without intentionally, err unintentionally feeling up the backside of other space constrained movie watchers. It's a place that only aggravates the sense of social stigma for those men who 'can' walk through the isle without butt-brushing against the knees of the seated fellows and the women who 'cannot' manage to sneak into their seats without doing the same! I would not like to believe so, but the thought of homos around me who come to movie theatres to get a butt-rub in the garb of a Friday night movie really does scare me! I mean, please give a break to the "Enter the Dragon" loos, "Gate Way of India" entrances and "Brindavan Garden" musical fountains. All I expect for a 150 bucks ticket is merely 6 inches more space between 2 rows of seats. And what is with the 55 bucks popcorn and the 60 bucks cola? To sound Seinfeld'esque, I really beg to differ with the box office experts here. If not for the popcorn and cola, I'm sure the Bollywood industry would be running losses!
