capturing a rather dramatic pause during a screening of the Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu at a UK theatre has gone viral, igniting a fierce debate across social media.
The footage was shared on X by user @UB1UB2 where theatre staff was seen confronting audience members mid-screening of Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu after audience members allegedly threw confetti and created a mess in the auditorium.
The short clip shows theatre staff addressing the crowd directly, urging them to maintain decorum.
The video has garnered thousands of views and stirred strong reactions online. While some users defended the theatre’s decision, others criticised the staff for interrupting the screening.
“Honestly, this is embarrassing. Respect the space you're in. Just because it's an Indian film doesn’t mean rules don’t apply,” one user commented.
Another said, “This is why many theatres abroad are wary of Indian movie releases. We need to be better ambassadors of our cinema.”
