VILLAGES FIRST MULTIPLEX: ABU SALEH'S VCR SHOW

 When A VCR Came To Abu Saleh's House For The First Time In The Village Eksari,

 It Felt As If The City's Cinema Had Come Directly To Our Courtyard.

Children Would Pay Rs 10- Everyone Would Come To Watch Movies In The Light Of Petromax And In The Mud.

At That Time, Abu Saleh's House Itself Became The Real Cinema Hall Of The Eksari Village.

The Days In The Eksari Village Used To Take On A Different Colour.

When Abu Saleh Got A VCR At Home, It Felt As If The Whole World Had Changed.

At That Time, There Was No TV In Every Home, And A VCR Seemed Like A Dream.

As Soon As It Was Evening, The News Would Be Spread- A Movie Is Being Shown At Abu Saleh's House Today.

People Would Line Up And Pay Rs. 5, Rs. 10 And Sit And Watch The Movie.

There Would Be Chairs And Sofas- Some Would Pull Cots And Others Would Sit Wherever They Found A Place.

There Was A Different Sparkle On Everyone’s Face. As Soon As The Film Started, Everyone From 

Children To Elders In The Eksari Village Would Cheer, Clap On The Hero's Entry

And Everyone Would Laugh When The Villain Was Beaten.

That VCR Was Not Just A Machine, It Was A Eksari Village Cinema Hall.

I Still Remember That Evening At Abu Saleh's House When For 5-10 Rupees One Could Get Friendship, Laughter And Old Time Cinema Together.

The VCR In Abu Saleh's House Was The First Cinema Hall In The Eksari Village, And 

The Fun That One Got With Those 5-10 Rupees Cannot Be Got Even By Paying A Lakh Rupees Today.

Today Is The Time Of Multiplex And OTT, But The Fun Of That VCR Show At Abu Saleh's House Was Something Else.

No Air Conditioning, No Popcorn… Just Door, Petromax And The Happiness Of The Whole Eksari Village Together.

The Memories That Were Got By Buying A Ticket Of 5-10 Rupees, Cannot Be Got Today Even By Spending Lakhs Of Rupees.
