I am a movie lover. I love getting lost in those few hours of fantasy where we just forget ourselves, the reality and are carried away into the world of cinema. Even though I watched a lot of movies, series on OTTs during pandemic I always missed going to a theater. I was forcing my hubby to take me to a theater the moment public norms were eased out post pandemic. He was like why do you like so much going to a theater when the movie can be seen on an OTT within the comfort of your home! Back then I told him that few movies need to be watched in theaters for the sound effects, big screen etc etc. But PVR cinemas superbly captured my thoughts. PVR released this ad for celebrating 25 years of cinema and Aamir Khan stared in this. And the first time when I watched this in PVR, I was like damn could there be any other better way to describe theater experience. I was sure that these lyrics were penned by Gulzar. But to my surprise there was a contest by PVR open to create this ad.
Here are the lyrics,
ऐ अंधेरा मुझे पसंद है
ऐ वाला अंधेरा तोडा अलग है
इसमे रहस्य है , उम्मीद है, राहत है दोस्ती है इस्से मेरी
इससे मैं, और मुझसे एह पसंद है
इस अंधेरे से मिलने मैं खुद चला आता हुन
अख्सर अकेले, कभी किसी और को भी सात ले आता हुन
इस अंधेरे में हर सपना मुमकिन सा नजर आता है
खुल के हस्ता हुन, खुल के रोता हुन
कभी घुस्सा आये तो घुस्सा भी हो लेता हुन
जो बाहर नाराज थे इस अंधेरे मे मान जाते है
पुराना वक्त, चिपेह हुए एहसास, जाने कैसे बाहर आ जाते है
कुछ अलग सा अंधेरा है एह
इस अंधेरे मे ख़ुशी है , जश्न है , जिंदगी है
इस अंधेरे मे बहूत रौशनी है
एह जोह चंद घंटे हम इस अंधेरे मे गुजारते है
कुछ हमारे अंधर शायद बदल सा जाता है
कुछ सुन कर, कुछ देख कर, कुछ महसूस कर के
वाकई इस अंधेरे मे बहूत रोशनी है
