Gaiety-Galaxy and the other cinemas in the complex at Bandra in Bombay are considered excellent for the masses because they are located strategically and admission rates there are more affordable to the middle-class public than in many other cinemas and, of course, multiplexes. In other words, films generally fare well at these cinemas even if they may not work at many other screening places. It, therefore, comes as a surprise that around eight or ten shows of Raavan had to be cancelled at Galaxy cinema in its third week (July 2-8) because there was no audience for the Mani Ratnam film. Wonder why, in the first place, the cinema continued the Abhishek-Aishwarya starrer in the third week!
