Movie Mania!!

I had been to a popular theater in chennai recently to catch the tamil flick "Ghajini"....The movie had released on thursday and it was first day night show. Was enthu abt going for a movie as usual and we landed there just in time. We got seated and realized there was some commotion happening and ppl seemed damn excited!Then realized why...Tamil movie stars Ajith,Shalini and Asin had come for the same show and they were seated admist the crowds..Here is a classic example of the reach these stars have...PPl forgot they had to watch the movie and were turning behind to catch a glimpse of their hero!The interval was worse..Fans fighting with each other to get autograph.Actually the crowd was a lot more well behaved then what I had imagined..I think even the security guys came in to see the stars!I think the fact the movie projects what the common man wants to be in a larger than life image is what fascinates one and all!What a huge reach it has!truly amazing!The irony is this...Had the producer been there he/she would have been unoticed!true rt?No one would even know how he looked though he/she is ideally the reason behind the movie or to put it simpler the person who made the movie possible with the funds needed!
