May 10th, 2008 – Edison, NJ:
On the night of Thursday
8th May’2008 – early hours of 9th May, a large number of people
in the coastal regions of North America, lost their sense of place and time.
It could have been very well,
the RTC Cross Roads of Hyderabad, Jagadamba Center of Vizag, or Urvasi or Apsara
Center of Vijayawada or
CTM
Road
of Madana Palle or any cherished corner in the heartland of the film crazed Andhra
Pradesh. The fact that it was the Park Theatre neighborhood in Bay Area San Jose
did not make a difference. People were drooling and lapping up every gesture of
their heartthrob NTR.
What would explain the mood
better as, well over a couple of hundred people caught the first glimpse of KANTRI
at 3 am local time in
California
?
This is not an isolated instance,
KANTRI opened to electrifying crowds every where in the
US
and overseas. On Thursday night KANTRI premiered in 5 major centers in US. The brand
new Theatre in
Virginia
was overflowing at 12.30AM, so were
Delaware
and
Boston
.
New Jersey
saw a heartening turnout of 500 at the late hour. Reports are pouring in from
Sydney
,
Singapore
,
Scotland
so and so forth. In
Amsterdam
for the first time the film Opened to Loud cheers of the over excited audience.
Friday was even more frenzied as ALL SHOWS ACROSS THE
BOARD in
USA
reported full houses, with nearly 5000 people watching the movie and over 1000 returning
without tickets. SecondShows.com the official ticketing portal recorded requests
two and half times of the cumulative capacity in US Cinemas on Friday.
The phenomenon can be attempted to be explained in one
word as PAN INDIAN PACIFIC ATLANTIC MASS HYSTERIA.
Incidentally in the Overseas Markets, the very first show
of KANTRI was screened in
Kuwait
around 10pm on Thursday local time. From that moment, there
have been incessant screenings of KANTRI. The crowd was jubilant and ecstatic and
in no time the exciting news of the Film’s report spread across continents.
NTR beyond any doubt has ARRIVED in the Overseas Markets
and he is all set to CONQUER. His every look, every dance, every stunt, every dialogue,
every single gesture is a Firework that sends the crowds berserk.
BE THERE!
IT’S ALL HAPPENING THERE AT A CINEMA SCREENING KANTRI!! YOU JUST CAN’T
MISS THE ACTION!!!
