Chandigarh, May 22
Cine-goers who went to see the 3D version of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ at Fun Republic here were taken for a ride when they discovered that the screen print was nothing more than a normal two-dimensional movie even when they wore special glasses given by the theatre.
The show started half an hour behind the scheduled time of 5.45 pm. After the film started, the public pointed out that the show was not 3D and raised slogans.
The police was called and a section of the audience was later refunded by the management. The venue also witnessed heated exchanges and a minor scuffle.
Paras Singla of Kharar said, “We were taken for a ride by the cinema management. When the show started half an hour behind schedule, we were shocked to see that the movie looked the same with or without glasses. I had come with my friends to the city just to see the 3D effects and we felt cheated. We had an argument with the theatre managers, who refunded the ticket amount after a long discussion.”
Anurag Sharma, a cinema buff, said many like him had come to watch the Johnny Depp treat in 3D. The show was a big letdown, but the attitude of the cinema management was a bigger letdown, he added. Sumer, another viewer, said, “We complained to the police, following which the show was stopped. We were told that a similar incident occurred yesterday and the show had to be stopped.” GS Brar, a manager, said, “The public outcry by a small section of the audience was unfounded. Our show went on normally after they were paid the refund.”
“Actually, the audience did not know that the entire film was not in 3D. The special 3D effects are only in select portions. The unnecessary ruckus was created by a small group,” he added.
