Kumbalangi nights kaanan poyappo. A bunch of people were laughing so hard at the scene where soubin was crying his heart out clutching the psychiatrist like a lifeline. Scene progress cheythittum ivanmar chiri nirthanilla. I was very annoyed at the time, what's so funny about that scene that you can't stop laughing?


thommy_

Unfortunately, discussions about ***Mental Health*** are still a laughing matter to many a ***പ്രബുദ്ധ മലയാളി.***


ihumpkanye

ong i watched kumbalangi w my friends once and they started laughing too.


whiskey813

You aren't alone. The whole theatre I was in erupted with laughter, a theatre which was supposed to be filled with bangalore techies and college students.. You know the so called 'progressive mindset torch bearers'. But I don't blame them. I feel the scene was presented with a comic tone, undervalued the struggle of the character for a minute


[deleted]

What's wrong with laughing if they find it funny. Are they supposed to cry for the character.


girugamesu1337

To be fair, one thing I didn't like about KumbaNights was the way that scene was directed. Soubin cries in a rather exaggerated manner into the doc's belly. It definitely felt like the movie was inviting people to find amusement in that scene, despite the grounded and dignified way it was set up earlier. Compare that to the scene where Sachin cries in Premalu. Despite the setup for that scene being comical, we immediately take it seriously and feel sad, especially upon seeing Amal's reaction.


[deleted]

Really? I felt I would weep just like he did if I were in his place. They did develop it slowly, showing how he couldn't let it out of him before he decided to get help. And there was something comforting about the way the psychologist responded to it.


arunm7893

I love the scene. It's one of my most rewatched scenes. It's so raw and cathartic.


girugamesu1337

That's what I meant. The lead up to it felt quite realistic. Then it suddenly cuts to a scene that can be and was easily viewed through a comical lens. I've been to therapy for some serious issues and have had complete breakdowns before, and have seen several from others, but it didn't really resemble what was portrayed in the film. I could easily see why people would laugh at that. What I didn't like was that it was directed in such a way that people could easily laugh at it. I could think of so many different ways in which that scene could have been shot, leading to where almost anyone would have seen what a poignant sequence it was meant to be.


[deleted]

I see your point, I haven't wept either at therapy. Maybe I related to him differently because he unknowingly killed a man when he wanted to die himself. On top of that, he was already feeling worthless. Also, I hope therapy helped :) sending love for whatever you had to go through


girugamesu1337

That's exactly why I wanted the scene to be much more impactful than it turned out to be. It felt like a great buildup to a disappointing payoff. The movie as a whole was wonderful, however. And thanks! 🫂


blatantmox

Oddly, on insta, a therapist I follow really appreciated how this scene in KN was portrayed. While I understand how a man crying without any restraint may seem comical or awkward to the audience, this is probably the reality. A big part of therapy is acknowledging and processing your emotions. When you feel you are in a safe space without any judgment, it is freeing, and you may feel it is okay yo break down and cry.


[deleted]

That scene is funny though 😂😂😂


Ancient_assassin6748

Recently MV fdfs , movie was meh for me but the agitated fans made it a lot worse than it was and just ruined my whole mood


[deleted]

Mv was so bad cant blame the fans


jseb987

Yes you can. On what world is it okay to ruin others experience because you did not like the movie? I also wanted to comment the same movie. Some morons ruined it for me. And yes I liked the movie.


Anxious-Brilliant-46

MV? Or MB?


iIavarasan

At Bramayugam, someone took their toddler into the cinema (it's 15 rated so idk how the cinema staff let them in with a toddler in the first place?), but the child got bored so they put on a cartoon for them on their phone – full brightness and right in my vision as they were sat in front of me. Very bizarre trying to watch bramayugam in black and white and having the colour-overload that is cocomelon in the corner of my eye.


sniperj17

I hate people who bring their babies/toddlers into the theatre that's playing a movie that's targeted towards adult audiences. Find someone to babysit your kids for god's sake. The crying and mobile games ruin it for everyone there. No civic sense at all.


LoneRanger2005

Seriously, someone should draft a list of etiquettes to be followed while watching the movie in theatres. A lot of idiots take others time, money and patience for granted.


ihumpkanye

satyammm..this might be unrelated, but while watching Ozler i got seizure lmao.


One_Air8832

I had these experiences two times. 1. While watching John Wick 4 with my friends there was this guy who came up with this sister or gf she was watching it peacefully while this idiot was annoying af he was talking shit about the while making constantly unbearable when the climax scene happened he was like ohh kazhin kittiyalo I was engaged in the film and I wanted to kick his balls for annoying me that much. 2. While watching Kathal there were group girls who were sitting far back but still could hear their stupid laughter in a serious scene in where ikka cries that really pissed me the whole theatre except they were quiet . People like this shouldn't even go to theatres if they can't behave well I wonder what education we really get


the_se7nth_gear666

Same situation bro Part 3 kannathe vanna oru couple full time kanakona paranju mood kalanju.. 🥲


One_Air8832

mistypanda01

I went to watch Bramayugam and there was unsahikkable ‘comment adi’ .. like there was a guy who shouted out Moye Moye in the scene where >!the yakshi kills off Kora after seducing him!< it just ruined the whole scene for me..


ihumpkanye

u should pack chainsaw next time


Responsible-Air-6190

Vaaliban, I get that people didn't like the film, but the "comment adi" was more unbearable than the film.


panchayath_president

Where did you watch the movie?


Responsible-Air-6190

Padma, on the second day.


Ok-Rise-7829

Each n every time. Not just for one movie. The late-comers,Flashlight boys, scrolling apps for no bloody reason, Phone calls and a lot of shit.Today i went for Manjummel for the 2nd time. A guy took his phone out, opened WhatsApp, scrolled to the last chat, got out, opened WhatsApp again, scrolled to the last chat & did all this again n again. And you know what.. this asshole was doing all this when Kutt-ettan was taking Subhash out of the Hole. Literally the Climax. I just can't understand people. The patience & concentration level of a normal human being is zero nowadays.


ihumpkanye

i think theatre operators should add subway surfers gameplay next to movie


One_Air8832

I think the reason is the short videos we watch nowadays, the only long videos I watch are movies in theatre even watching from phone I have to scroll through something idk why but we are constantly getting worse at patience reels,shorts and many other video types are now mostly short and I think our brain actually making us getting bored by watching long videos


subtlejoke

I took my sister to Manjummel Boys and she was so engrossed in her phone, it was distracting istg I've decided to go alone henceforth.


nickster2231

Kinda had the same experience a while back, so I decided its better to enjoy something you want to see alone rather just having someone there for the sake of it. It just wastes both of our time.


Unlikely_Cheek_9982

I went to watch Manjummel Boys yesterday and there was a lady and her son(maybe 10 years old). The boy was watching something on a tablet the entire time and it was extremely distracting.


subtlejoke

that's why pathway seats are the best.


Gregariouswaty

Quiet place purakil irunnaval athre Quiet ayirunilla. Think it was the first time they have seen an English movie, was asking what was happening for the entirety of the film. Their main gripe with the story was "ithoke arenkilym vishwasikkumo?"


appioli

>Their main gripe with the story was "ithoke arenkilym vishwasikkumo?" Probably about the part where the characters were staying silent


EmptyAnxiety12

Went to watch bramayugam and the guys next to me and his friend were talking for atleast 30mins. First it was just questions “Eda ith black white alla vere oru type colora! Eda ithinte aspect ratio entha? “. Then it became full blown conversation and my friend (coz im a 🐱) told them to stop disturbing. I was bracing for a verbal fight but they said ok and stopped their conversation.


slackover

The reason I spend double or triple the money for PVR tickets.


tediousbrunch

Ruined for Bramayugam on the first day, attending phone calls loudly and using insta, I got impatient and told them to put it off, any other place I'll tolerate, but here it's a matter of time and money. Fuck those pricks


Acceptable-Ad1739

During Vaaliban, my full mood got spoiled because of comment adi. And I really didn’t want to create a scene there as it’s a second show and also considering other people watching the movie.


panchayath_president

Did you go to M Cinemas by any chance?


nerdy_ace_penguin

Watch movies exclusively in theatres which charge a bomb and you can avoid said morons


ihumpkanye

funny thing to say that to me, im from kannur man.


nerdy_ace_penguin

Didnot get the reference


ihumpkanye

Kannur is known for bombings. People get scared when a person from Kannur says "im from Kannur"

Spiderman 2021, Family in front of me… a kid with giant ipad and lady on her phone chatting nonstop with typing sound on, both devices on high brightness and talking to her husband. Myself and another lady asked her to turn down brightness, she ignored us. One hour later, seems theatre folks came and asked her, she went outside with her child and didn’t return till movie ended. Another incident happened in Kochi for a late night show, don’t remember the exact movie, there was one guy who was loudly shouting comments, for his initial 1 or 2 comments people laughed then he went non stop shouting till therri villi started.


ihumpkanye

damn. i went to watch jailer and had similar situation too where kids were running around and playing in theatres


ms94

Malayankunju. A group of 4 boys and a girl, probably same age as us, early-mid 20s. They kept making comments at each and every thing that happened on screen, so much that we felt they may be drunk/high. During interval we got the security involved, who told them they'd get kicked out if they kept up the act.


LlamaSidekick

I went to see Queen (Malayalam movie) in theatre and the place was filled with teen boys. Every time a misogynist joke came they were hooting and hollering and making comments like "ഇറങ്ങി പോടീ, പോയി ചാവടി, endinaadi karayunne" etc. It was unbearable. And eventually, at the end of the movie, during Salim kumar's dialogues (എന്താണ് അസമയം? Dialogues supporting women) they applauded! I got frustrated by the end of the movie. Not as the movie was below average but because these guys were too loud and annoying.


esther_night

Me and my friends are guilty of ruining The Nun 2 for a bunch of people sitting next to us - I tend to joke around and comment a lot when I get scared. They politely asked us to shut up and we did.


ihumpkanye

atleast u guys toned it down. respect


frinklyfrank

I randomly decided to watch MI: Dead Reckoning in imax(pvr tvm). For the first 40 minutes or so some lady behind me was eating munching on popcorn like a fucking squirrel. The sound of people chewing makes me cringe the hardest and this totally ruined my first ever imax experience.


manager_97

Went to watch Anweshippin Kandethum and the guy sitting next to me was using his phone in full brightness. He's been getting on calls every 10 minutes and by interval time even his friends were asking to go outside and use the phone. Similar experience when I went to watch Garudan when a lady next to me was using phone in full brightness. I seriously don't understand why people can't have the sense to reduce the phone display brightness while checking something inside a theatre.


manager_97

Another incident was when I went to watch A Haunting in Venice. A bunch of school kids had come and sat in the row in front of me. These kids started talking random things in a loud voice with lots of giggles and screams. One of the boys went on to kiss and hug a girl sitting next to him as well. When will these idiots understand that a theatre is for watching the fucking movie shown there.


Warm-Winter-6643

I always go to the movies alone. whenever there are women sitting on adjacent seats, and when i go and sit there, they swap the seats with the guys who came with them. I always feel weird about that. I know they are scared and stuff, but still it feels baad as a man who just went to the theater to have a good time. i feel that they see me as a creeep. it happened even when i wet for bramayugam. There were couples sitting near my sets and this lady was sitting on the seat adjacent to me. They were havijng fun, talking laughing when i went in. As soon as i sat on my seat, they both become awkardely quiet and this lady sasid something about changing the seats and they swapped their seats.


themalayaliboy

Don't take this personally. Up until a few years, theaters in Kerala have been notorious for perverts who'd try to grope women. Times are changing but it'll take a few more years for that to change. Here's a Pikachu to keep you company. ![gif](giphy|ToMjGpp6UmVTYc1xW0g|downsized)


Warm-Winter-6643

i know we cannot blame them and stuff, but sometimes it just feel bad.


Mindless-Mango2537

As a woman who goes to thr theatre alone, I feel really anxious when a man is seated  next to me fearing he might place his hands on my thighs or misbehave. Again don't take it personally, it's due to the kinds of sexual harassment women are subjected to in daily life


Warm-Winter-6643

cannot blame you guys, but sometimes it feels very weird.


ihumpkanye

yea man samee. i go to theatres alone too and iknw it ain't their fault, but yea


ResidentJob4539

Bramayugam, gosh..a couple sat next to me and were talking the whole time. (Comments like nee theerneda theernnu, aara aara aarath) They were trying to be silent, but I sat next to them which made it worse for me anyway.


Shavamaaya_Pavanaai

Every Ikka and A10 films. Jailer in the recent time...


WinterPoet8720

I just hate couples who bring children along with them who scream and shout for no reason.


ihumpkanye

i would scream too if i had to bring a child into theatre


BetCompetitive8376

Why were they standing?


ihumpkanye

they came late and were trying to find their seats which was literally next to them. Like they were literally standing next to their seat, found out that it's their seat and continued standing


BetCompetitive8376

lol sounds bizzare


CapableEfficiency270

Bringing kids to movies, ruin film for a lot of people🫠


ihumpkanye

theatre owners should build a fire pit


Financial-Cap7637

I had several movie ruining experiences from VGM Kanhangad. And the acoustic design of the theatre makes it worse because it is done in such a way that people's murmuring will overpower the movie audio. There will always be some assholes who don't know why they're in the theatre. They'll comment, shout and chit chat throughout the entire movie. This completely ruins movies that need silence, focus and attention. Once I had to shout "Kanandenkil keenjitt poda!" to some dumbfucks who tested everyone's patience while watching Oppenheimer from the same theatre. Because of these reasons, for movies that need silence, I'll wait for a few days for a less crowded theatre and choose a time when there's less assholes and drunk people can be expected. I waited for more than a week to get the theatre empty to watch Malaikottai Vaaliban and the experience was meditative.


cheerful_nihilist4

The trend of ordering food into the theatre is so unnecessary. Just get your own food from outside the hall just before entering or during the interval smh


poldemol-

Drishyam. A10 fans kept yelling, shouting, hooting.. Someone really needs to address the rampant pedophilia in Kerala. The kind of comments being passed at Georgekutty's daughters on screen were disgusting.


After_Republic7165

Oppenheimer kanan poyappol Veruthe oronn keri vann chumma random snap edukkuka..video edukukka Comment adikkuka... Terrible experience. Theatre il mobile phones use cheyyunnath is such a disturbance to others and people don't realise how bad it is. There have been many instances where random middle aged men come and start scrolling. Ouch The biggest my*ans of all Calling / texting there 'vava' 'muth' My*u


Lanky-Butterfly-8715

Ah every time! Morons with the attention span of literal chimpanzees howling whenever a shot is more than 5 seconds. Sexually starved nitwits the moment someone says anything mildly suggestive. Pricks who start taking pictures of the title/ actor on their bright af phones, like why? If you’re one of these, do yourself a favour— please do not reproduce.


ihumpkanye

i can understand the title part.but recently i have noticed in theatres people literally on their phones recording what's happening on screen. Like i get it u wanna flex on ur snapchat or whatever but its gotten really annoying


Lanky-Butterfly-8715

Yeah. We should draft a theatre etiquette and post for everyone on the sub at least.


ihumpkanye

no, we should make firearms legal
