Madhyantari mi ek cinema baghayla gelo hoto, cinema hota Imran Hashmicha. Imran Hasmi cha cinema aslyakarnane tyat sagla kahi asna, agdi je halli saglyanna, mothya 70 mm screen var jaaun baghaycha asta, te suddha, sahajikach hota. Tyamule aamhi sagle full enthu houn picture suru honyachi vaat baghat baslo hoto, pan tevdhyat amchya shejari ek navra-bayko aani tyancha dusri-tisritla mulga, ase, yeun basle. Aata jya cinemacha hero Imran Hashmi aahe tya cinemala, swatachya 7-8 varshachya mulala aanava ka ha veglach mudda aahe, pan te navra-bayko aani tyache chiranjeev ase tigha to cinema pahayla aale hote. Majhya shejarich aslya kaarnane, mala te agdi awkward vaatat hota, asa vaatat hota ki aata cinema asa enjoy nahi karta yenaar.
Ugachach tya shejarchyankade baghun tyancha ek general andaz ghyavasa vaatla mhanun mi shejari baghitla aani baghto tar, tya lahan mulachi nusti chal-bichal chalu hoti. Tya mulala cinema pahayla pharasa interest disat navhta, karan to aalya pasunach tyachya, eka hatatlya ice-cream aani dusrya hatatlya popcorn madhe agdi ramun gelela hota. Te baghun mala hi jara haysa vaatla, mhatla eka arthi changlach jhala, aani tasach jhala. Tya mulacha tya cinema pahnyat aajibat lakhsha navhta, to, tyacha ice-cream aani popcorn aani tya popcorn chya pishwi cha khar-khur aawaj, evdhach tyacha vishwa. To cinemahi agdi thikach hota aani saarkhya tya khar-khur aawajane majha cinema baghnyat lakshahi lagat navhta. Mi aapla tya mulakadech baghat baslo hoto. Popcorn chya pishwitun agdi ek kan an kan to chimni saarkha vechun khat hota. Tyachya ice-cream cha oghal tyachya hatachya koprya paryant vahat aala hota, pan to oghal dekhil tyane sodla nahi, vyvastit masta pane chatun hath saaph kela. Mi tyala haluch haak maarli, mhanalo” Kaay re, ice-cream, popcorn,hmmm Majja aahe rao” aani tyane hi tikyach innocently dole michkaun, uttar dila “Mag!, aani ajun Majja yenare, Babanni mala ajun ek ice-cream gheun dyaycha kabul kelay”.
Tya andhuk prakshat suddha tya mulachya chehryavarcha to anand agdi khulun baher yet hota . Tyachya to chehra ajunahi majhya dolya samor aahe. Tyachya kade pahun mala agdi majhe lahanpaniche, mi tyachya vayacha hoto, tenvhache diwas aathawle. Tyachya saarkha kadhi aamhi theatrat jaaun ice-cream aani popcorn khana hi lambchi goshta pan aamachya aai-vadlan barobar theatrat jaaun kadhi cinema paahnyachi velahi aali nahi.
Mi cinema paahilyandi paahila, TV varti, video cassette aani VCR, bhadyane aanun.
Mala aathawatahi naahi mi pahila cinema kadhi aani kitvit paahila te, pan bahuda mi dusri-tisritach asen. Lahan pani unhalachya suttit gavala gelo ki ghari VCR aani video cassettes aanun cineme pahaycho. Agdi dar-varshichya sahamayi aani varshik parikshe saarkha, unhalyachya sutti VCR aani video cassette aanun cinema paahana, hey dekhil tharlelach hota. Aani khara saangaycha tar tya cinema peksha aapan video cassette var cinema pahtoy hyachach aakarshan phaar vaataycha. Agdi majja yaychi.
Sandhyakali masta char-sadechar la jhopun uthaycha, chaha peun jhala ki VCR aalelach asaycha. Mag shejar-pajarchya mula-mulinna bolavayla jaaycha, bar te bolavnahi sadha-sudha nasaycha, asa ekdam koutakane, thaatat, saglyanna sangaycha ‘ Aaj aamchyakade VCR aanlaay, maahtie ka!, chal yetoes ka picture baghayla?’. Mag saglegle ikadche-tikadch jamayche. Ikde aaji ne kahi tari khayla kelela asaychach. Te sagla gheun, aadhich saglyana tyachya-tyachya dish madhe dyaycha aani mag to cinema laavaycha, ki mag ti majja suru, aani to cinema kadhi sampuch naye asa vaataycha. Mag tyat kadhi kadhi ti cassette adkaychi, ki mag chid-chid, konala tari 1 number la jaaycha asaycha, mag kara pause, mag parat chid-chid, asa to karyakram asaycha. Ya –na-tya karnane madhe break vhyaychech, mag tya break madhe chaha aani itar satar-phatar khanaycha ajun ek round vhyacha, ki mag parat cinema pahayla suru.
Hatatun valu jashi nisatun jaate tashi ti sutti aani to khsan nighunach jaaycha. Mag vaat baghaychi ti pudhchya suttichi.
Bhurkat dista mhantat na tasach mala bhurkat aathawtay ki Maine pyar kiya, ha bahuda mi pahila poorna paahilela cinema. Aajhi kadhi Maine Pyar kiya laagla ki tech diwas aatahvtat. Yalgaar navacha Sanjay Dutt cha, Army jyat Sridevi aani Shahrukh Khan aahe, Sainik, Akshay Kumar aani Ashwini Bhave, jhalach tar Jaan Tere Naam, jyat Madhuri Dixit sarkhi disnaari heroin aahe, tenvha mala ti Madhurich vaataychi, ase cineme, tenvha agdi khup aawadle hote aani halli kadhi tv var laagle ki, aapan hey cineme, khaas video cassette aanun paahile hote, aani te aaplyala aawadle dekhil hote, hyacha aashcharya vaatata aani hasu hi yeta.
Lahanache mothehi jhalo, tya video cassette hi gely aani te fighting che dishum-dishum wale cineme baghna hi band jhala. Cineme baghna matra band naahi jhala, fakta cinema pahnyacha yantra badalla. Halli TV var cinema baghayalach nako vaatata, tyamule theatre madhe jaaun cinema baghna ha dar athawdyatla ek tharlela karyakram.
Aaj-parynat itke cineme theatre madhe jaaun paahile jaatat aani baryach cinema madhe dishum-dishum sodun kahi tari changla baghnyasaarkha dekhil asta, pan ti, lahanpanichi majja kadhich yet nahi aani kimbahuna yenarahi nahi.
Tya diwashi, interval madhe tya mulachya aai-vadlanchi parwangi gheun, tya mulala mi aat cafeteria madhe gheun gelo, tyachyashi khup gappa maarlya, tyala hi majhi company awadlyasaarkhi vaatat hoti karan to majhyashi agdi khulun bolat hota, janu kahi aamhi khup diwsanpaasun ekmekanna olakhtoy. Bolta bolta tyala mi ice cream saathi vicharla aani aamhi doghanni, ek na gheta don ice-candy ghetlya. Aaplya jagewar basnaar, tewdhyat majhe mitra majhyakade majhya haatatlya don ice-cream kade baghat mhanale ’Kaay re, don candies ekach veli, kaay jhalay kaay aaj, picture neet baghat naahies, ase ekdam don ice-cream, bara-bira aahes na?’. Mi aani to mulga doghahi ekach veli aani ekach suraat tyanna mhanalo ”MAJJA”.
