Maya (Illusion) Jaal (Trap) - Do you get your money's worth?

The meaning of the place says it all doesnt it? Yesterday, when we went to watch Rang De Basanti at Mayajaal, quite a few things made me ask this question... Are we getting our money's worth? To start, we cross the ECR toll gate and at a very short distance is Mayajaal, for this we pay Rs 45. Then we enter Mayajaal and at right at the gate they collect Rs 10 for parking. I go around the parking lot thrice before I get a parking space. There was no one to guide you, nor were there any signs as to where to park the car. Then we go inside the theatre, and my wife said she was hungry. Went and checked the price of popcorn...Rs 25 for a small packet. Lays chips which sells for Rs 20 outside, is sold at Rs 30. Sometimes you dont mind paying a little more, but shouldnt you be getting good service and basic courtesy? Wonder where all this is going?
