But but - many "serious" Hindi movies are just like this, and reactions to serious scenes are usually laughter. Example "Shaan" There were also a couple of Tamil movies in the 70's whose names I never found out even when I saw them One was advertised as "Color falooda, Sex masala". Was nothing of the sort. I returned to a cold room (in Vellore) - I was there with the college cricket team only to find that all the other team members had put on all the pads, gloves and wrapped the crepe bandages around their faces to keep themselves warm and I shivered through the night along with the guy who took me to the movie. That guy is now a Kidney transplant surgeon in Coimbatore. I recall wanting to bash someone's head in with one of the bats I had for a pillow when - at 4 AM - a loudspeaker started blasting a devotional song over and over again about ten thousand times "Maruthamani maamaniye Murugaiya" - it went IIRC Of the other, I recall parts. A man picks up the phone and says, "Operator! Give me America!" When he finally says "Hello" I presume someone on the other side has answered saying "Hello, this is America speaking". That is the movie that taught me those immortal words which I presume would be absolutely appropriate for "The Happening" "What balls is this, Chalapathy?" - or to be precise "Wat baalls iss thiss Chalapathy?" shiv
