I remember long back, when I went to watch a Mithun movie in a cinema hall in Thiruvananthapuram. I enjoy them the way I can enjoy a good farce.īut science fiction is a bit closer home. Sure I can sit through most of them, but that is because I do not expect to see logical stuff. What will SRK and Shankar do to science fiction? ![]()
