Cinema halls will disappear from the face of the Earth, Naseeruddin Shah recently said stressing the fact that OTT is the future of films. But can we ever replace the experience of watching a film in a theatre with our loved ones?

Long long ago, my grandfather has created his own version of Letterboxd to keep record of the movies he had watched. I¡¯m awestruck by the fact that he¡¯s watched Hitchcock and James Bond films in theatres. pic.twitter.com/uiVhk7RqOY

"This is so precious", a fan commented.
"OMG That's insane," said another one.
"Pl preserve this and get it scanned asap!" another one said.
This is insane. Apparently, Anbe Vaa (1966) was inspired from Come September (1961) and my grandfather had watched both the films in theatres. https://t.co/jiICmE8aRq pic.twitter.com/s2legfU7yl

Another fan said, "Super impressed with the shear number of movies he has seen in a month.."
In another incident, this man took his grandfather to a theate after 42 years to watch a movie with him.
Dr Deepak Anjn?a made a heartwarming video of the same and wrote, "POV: You are going to the theatre with your Grandpa. (Last time my grandpa went to the theatre in 1980)".
A fan wrote in the comments, "This is so pure. I just wish my grandpa lived now too. He passed away when I was just 10yrs old. He wanted to take dictation next day but I woke up to thr news that he left me. He had diabetes and I was over weight for my age. Sweets were restricted to both of us at home. But he took me every evening to nearby shop to buy sweets for both of us? because he told I select the best ones and we share on our way back. Now I'm working and I just wish if I had this chance to take him out like he used to do. I would have travelled the world with him. I just miss him so badly. And I love him so much. ?? because of him only I had a better childhood. Love you soo much seeya".
