This is what every urban Indian is demanding after months of dry Fridays. Now, theu00a0 demand has found a place on Facebook too
If you are a victim of dry Fridays and need a forum to vent your anger against film producers and multiplex owners who have been slugging it out for the past couple of months, Facebook is lending you an ear.

Neeraj Ghaywan, a professional employed with a Gurgaon-based web firm, has created a community We Want Our Cinema Back, Now on the social networking site to start a movement against the no-show at multiplexes.

The creator feels both the parties are concerned only about their commercial interest and no one is thinking about the viewer.
Both the parties have met and talked but will anyone speak to the audience and tell it when this strike will end?" asked the man behind the forum that has over 250 members.
The tussle that doesn't seem to be nearing its end, has delayed the release of several big films like Kareena Kapoor-Akshay Kumar starrer Kambakht Ishq, SRK's My Name Is Khan, John-Katrina-Nitin Neil Mukesh starrer Newyork and Imtiyaaz Ali's Saif-Kareena featuring film Love Aaj Kal among many others.
"I was checking newspapers for movies to watch and spotted one new name Sanam teri kasam.
It was a Saif Ali Khan move made about 15 years ago! Is this what they hurl at us in the name of entertainment? Do multiplex owners think we'll pay Rs 250 for this trash?" asked Ghaywan.
On the forum, several moviegoers have urged people to boycott multiplexes and opt for single screen cinemas.

"Say no to multiplex, say yes to cinema houses," said one member. Another reaction to the forum read, "Want this stupid strike to be over now. I want to see Love Aaj Kal."
Ghaywan plans to meet multiplex owners and members of the producers' guild to urge them to look into the interest of viewers.
