The republic of fun
I caught a flick at a new funmall in Bombay’s Andheri ‘hood just over a week ago.

Bowling alley at Fun Republic in Andheri. Like all the aunties fearfully clogging mall escalators, everyone was a crap bowler. They’ll get better, it’s new. |

Fun Republic is a movie theater, bowling alley and arcade |

A billboard for the theater |

Almost the entire building is taken up by the cinema, which has the widest variety of Indian snacks I’ve ever seen outside a wedding |

I love watching the machine reset the pins |

Did I mention the traffic? |
(Avoid Phir Hera Pheri. I’d pay good money to wipe that memory, and I liked the original. The movie leans on clowns and a guy in a gorilla suit for its gags. I had more fun reading my email during the movie.)

Nice pics Maniche !
Bowling isn’t “that new” to India…atleast for the city folk.
The alternative is worse though– everyone was rolling gutter balls ;)
When I was bowling in Chandigarh a couple of years ago, I was actually impressed by how good the kids were. They definitely outclassed me… But it was a gymkhana club type place, not an open, “come try bowling” situation. The kids were in there a lot.
nice picture & sound.
