I'm sure there are cheaper places to watch movies. They just don't show the movies you want to watch. Meanwhile, I'd kill to pay near-US prices for a drink here in India. But a half-decent bar will get you a small vodka for 7-10 USD. I don't remember ever paying that much for vodka, even at the Hilton. And movie tickets are nowhere close to US prices. Even the most expensive tickets are ~$6. I don't think prices have been that low in the US for years! -- Sumant Srivathsan sumants.blogspot.com
