NEW DELHI, June 14: The devastating fire resulting in the death of 59 people at the Uphaar Cinema hall which was screening the latest Bollywood film Border, has failed to dampen the enthusiasm of avid cine-buffs who continued to throng various theatres showing the movie today.The star-studded movie which had an all India premiere yesterday is being shown in 13 theatres across the Capital. Most of the halls were running houseful for the matinee show even today as the black-marketeers had a field day selling tickets at exorbitant rates.Booking officer in the popular Chanakya cinema hall said no tickets were available for any of the shows of the movie booking for which had been done well in advance.The response was same from Shiela and other theatres running the much trumpeted movie based on 1971 Indo-Pak war.Youngsters who thronged the cinema halls admitted ``some fear'' due to the tragedy yesterday, but said the case would have been different had the fire started after a bomb explosion.``Since it was a genuine case of fire, the panic that normally grips the people after a bomb blast is not there,'' said Ravi Mehta desperately trying for two movie tickets at Chanakya.Collegiate Richa, however, had a tough time convincing her mother that there was no risk in going for the movie.``I am so keen to watch the picture. Its trailers were being shown in many movie halls and TV channels for last one month,'' she says as she moved inside the hall with her bunch of friends.Housewife Geeta was ``quite disturbed'' owing to the tragedy though she was very interested in watching Border.``We thought here is a clean movie from Bollywood after a long time. But now we have decided to just forget it,'' she says.
