Story: Fight in the sky
1980s Narrow streets of Patan. Five schoolchildren, dressed in sky blue shirts and dark blue pants, walked from street to street. He had a school bag on his shoulder. He wore a mask over his handkerchief. However, this is not to prove Surya Bahadur Thapa wrong. They covered their faces as if they knew someone. Because they had run away from school, on an important quest. Such an important discovery must have been made only twice in human civilization. Before that, Columbus was looking for America and now Nepalis are looking for prosperity and good governance.
Columbus had already found America. What we ordinary people are looking for now and what those little kids were looking for at that time was not yet found. The baby goats were asinine while walking in the sun. His face was red. Still, they did not give up. A little boy was a little disappointed when he couldn't find what he was looking for in another thread-like street leading to the Ashoka Cinema Hall by throwing a left bank from the Baglamukhi temple. That little one was me.
"Are you sure, Balbhadra?" I asked, looking at Balbhadra with a smirk.
Balbhadra was serious. Under his leadership, we were running away from school and getting lost in the streets of Patan. Balbhadra, a meritorious student who always comes first in exams. Abbal in other things too. He had a weakness. That's why we were hiding our faces on the roof. Bal Bhadra is a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan. Of course, we were all fans of Amitabh. But not in comparison. After all, one day during the final exams of the year, when someone jumped up and said that Amitabh Bachchan had passed away, he tore up the answer sheet he was writing. What did Balbhadra not know about Amitabh Bachchan? He gave us the secret knowledge that the name of Amitabh Bachchan's barber is Hakim Caronvi and the name of the person doing the make-up is Deepak Sawant. On the morning of the day we ran away from school, he said, 'Do you understand, boy? Ray arrived unclaimed yesterday. It will definitely show in Patan today. '
He was told by a reliable source. He was now restless. It was natural for all of us to be excited. He had planned to escape by crossing the back wall in a fifteen minute break after the third class. It may sound strange to hear that a Nathe must have changed so much to watch a movie. Watching movies is not a rare thing today. The long and incredible leap made by technology in a short period of time has brought cinema into the home, even more so nowadays. Miraculous inventions like YouTube, Netflix and Torrent have changed a lot. However, the beginning of the 80's and the time before that was not the case. For the people of Kathmandu who used to watch Hindi movies in four or five small halls, watching movies was a festival. What a wonderful way to screw people over. So the sudden introduction of video technology proved to be a great boon. And that changed a lot of the society of that time.
...
The VCR that entered Kathmandu at that time was popularly called video deck. That technology brought about a small cultural revolution. As the video deck was as rare and expensive as Aladdin's lamp, people could not easily keep it at home. So sometimes four or five families would rent a deck and a TV monitor for twenty-four hours. The one with the largest living room was chosen as the venue. Therefore, the democratic technology of reducing his share in rent was automatically applied and accepted.
The plan was made weeks in advance. The more people found out, the more people flocked to see the movie, so much effort was put into keeping the plan a secret. No matter how much it was kept secret, the fact that they were bringing a deck to Flanno's house next week would have gone 'viral'. As a result, while watching the movie, the house was full of organizers, sponsors, his invited guests, and a crowd of unsuspecting friends and relatives. With the sound of clapping and clapping as seen in the video as a festival, there was a danger that the importance of tithing would be delayed.
The twenty-inch monitor seemed huge at the time. So much security and precautions were taken to move the video deck and screen, even if the Kohinoor diamond had to be taken from the British Museum for display. People who used to watch movies using these devices also used to come along. Needless to say, his position there was higher than all the others. He had to be given special tea and snacks in between. He loved those things more than his own life. Especially Fuchchafachchi was not even allowed to be close to his two feet. Five times more than the capacity of the room, people had to eat Gundruk and consume each other's carbon dioxide.
In order to make full use of the rented goods, the brave Nepalis used to watch five to seven movies continuously. At that time, the families of the neighbors would spend the night in Jagaram. At that time, if anyone knew how to contact the Guinness Book of World Records, Nepal would have been known to the world long ago.
During the marathon movie performances, I would rest for a while to avoid getting tired. But that rest was not for the man but for the rest of the device. ‘If it is too hot, it will eat the relay.’ In those days when the deck could not eat the reel, people used it to eat food. Everyone would go home and have a meal and then gather in a hurry. It would have started in another movie. Those who arrived a little late would start shouting in the ears of the neighbors, 'Where is the story? Isn't the song missing? How many fights did you have? '
As the audience's appetite for movies grew, people gradually began to make money by showing movies in public. This business was flourishing especially in the inner streets of Patan, Boudha, Purano Thimi and Bhaktapur. The audience would not have any complaints to watch new movies by paying five rupees while eating and drinking in comfort. It was said that Hindi, English and in some places blue films were also shown in those places.
At eighty-six, an alley behind Makhan was known as 'Art Street'. There was an enlightened and conscious video exhibitor showing only in 'Art' cinema. He used to search for alternative movies of actors like Nasiruddin Shah, Om Puri, Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil. His contribution in raising the level of cinema consciousness and intellect of the Nepali audience is incomparable.
At that time, people who watched 'art' movies were called intellectuals. In the same greed, people used to play tricks there. Even though he was bored without understanding anything, when he came out, his chest was swollen and he was looking around. Once upon a time, I, a child of a very young age, went there with a similar scholar to see what it was like to be neither a flame nor an intellectual. In the art cinema of that day, for two hours a month, a hungry man had to carry a pig across the river. For five or seven times I kept looking to see if anything would happen, but after an hour and a half, the same sequence was going on and I, an ignorant person who could not understand art, was making a croaking noise like a pig. However, I did not like Darin to get up and walk in the middle of an art film. I have been patient for so long, now that the pig shepherd is not tired, I kept reminding myself that I would endure till the end. When I went out to watch that movie, I had said to myself at that time: I am not old enough to be an intellectual. Instead, fight and disco dance is fine.
In video shows, it was customary for the little ones to sit outside the street and attract the audience by promoting the movie.
"Everybody's scared."
‘Let’s fight. Gemini's action movie. '
"Bruce Lee's comfy karate."
"War movie. War movie."
"Laughing movie, laughing movie."
Most of the video shows in the streets were action, fight, horror or slut comedy. What traders sell is what the market demands. Our interest in cinema was the same at that time. It is still the same. The video used to ask the young hawkers in the street, 'Does the trailer show?'
Taylor was defined as any other movie that was shown in a cramped room before the original movie started. Because any movie would have a definite screening time. Whenever people are full, that's when the movie starts. Therefore, Taylor's tenure was not certain. It could be closed at any time by showing the number of minutes. Some brothers-in-law could see another movie in Taylor's name almost completely.
According to the national character of the Nepalese people, if one earns a little from a job, then all of them will go home and destroy that business. As the number and location of video shows increased, the administration began calling them illegal. So from time to time, the police raided and confiscated the goods. But even though it was not open, the work continued in secret. The tiger's tongue had already tasted the blood.
.
A few years ago, at the beginning of the golden age of entertainment, Bal Bhadra had brought the news that Amitabh Bachchan's new movie had arrived. So we were looking for the homeless in the streets of Patan. It had been more than two hours since the 'unclaimed' was found. We ran away from school fifteen minutes after the third period. Now it must be time for the fifth period to begin. The fifth period was headed by Sir. He would sometimes attend in between. If we had taken it today, we would have known that we had escaped. It was customary to invite those who had run away or other gossips the day before to the front of the assembly the next day and to taste the pooja-prasad with a cane in front of the whole student.
My legs began to itch. The palate had already dried up due to thirst, now the intestines also started rotating due to hunger. A Newari canteen nearby was challenging. The smell of Ranga's dishes was wafting outside. The money that was kept for lunch was not being used well. I offered to have lunch instead of going to the cinema. Balbhadra joked, "What a radish. One day you die without food? There is no place to wait. '
He was the 'first boy.' But that was not the answer sheet of the test where only his words were always correct. After trying for a long time, Bachchan was not found. Meet Dharam Paji. At the mouth of a street, a child of our age was shouting, 'Professor Pyarelal, Professor Pyarelal. Bruce Lee's Taylor Free Bruce Lee's Taylor. '
Bal Bhadra blinked his eyes and said, "Now let's see if this is Professor Pyarelal." I didn't like it at all. I was being pulled more by Chhela Kachila. On top of that, why run away from the teachers and fall into the clutches of the professor? I said, 'Look? That's the name. '
Thinking that the fish in the net had escaped, Fuchs hurriedly replied, "It's just a name." The film is dangerous. There is a fight. The print is also good. Dhamendra and Jina Tamang are heroes. The robber is Gabbar Singh. '
He was a bandit for the spectators, even if he was a 'high-tech' villain who used to sit in a well-equipped headquarters and press the switch. And Jinat Aman was made Nepali by the people by making Jina Tamang. Blessed Indians did not know that. Otherwise, they should have launched a campaign called 'Jinat Was Born in India'. At that time, Dhamendra's cinema was not available in the halls of Kathmandu. Another rumor that Dharmendra's cinema would be set on fire if there was a rumor that Ray had made insulting remarks about Nepalis would be set on fire, the truth of which was not checked by anyone. There was no question of anyone trying to force extremism. Such great nationalism cannot penetrate the small streets of Patan. Therefore, those who are not allowed to enter the halls can walk in the streets of Dharmendra Patan without any hindrance. The desire to eat forbidden fruit has become the ancestral greed of us human beings.
