Being History

In the time when every theater, new or old, in city of Bareilly is equipped with digital projection facility, Jagat Talkies keeps with its old tradition. Jagat Talkies, in Bara Bazar, was inaugurated in 1954 and the first film, it ran, was Raj Kapoor's Barsat.
I remember the days when Jagat was screening 'Jai Santoshi Ma'' non stop houseful, women use to leave their sleepers and shoes outside of the theater. It ran 100 plus days and they organised special women shows. Oh! those were the golden days of Hindi films and theaters.
I've fond memories of watching many films from projection room, in sweating heat, when it was houseful. Memories of projector operator of Palace Theater in Allahabad, taking a puff of his cigarette leaning on the wall towards the road still make me nostalgic. Two years ago, I was told that old projectors were history as films are digitized now.
Jagat Talkies runs old films, as they are in print and out there is a lot who appreciates old movies and experience of theater. Today I spent few hours with Veerpal, the projector operator and Ram Chandra Saxena, the supervisor. Glimpses....
