Mini projector- Cinema at home

Yeh projector, humka de de thankur!
Bring the BIG SCREEN magic to your drawing room.
“Tera kya hoga Kaalia?"
"Sarkar…Maine aapka namak khaya hai sarkar..."
" Ab… goli kha..."
The tension was high, the throats dry and the eyes anxious to watch Gabbar shooting his goli and killing the wafaadaar Kaalia. Pin-drop silence prevailed. But as Gabbar raised his arm to pull the trigger of his bandook, the only cinema-hall in Bishangarh suffered a power-cut. “Ooooooo!” booed the crowd and then started the long string of curses. The sarpanch (head-man) even sent his local goons to find the owner of the theatre and bash him black and blue. After all, as the BDO saab, I had been specially invited to take a look at the village’s development. Alas, the power went the wrong time! Knowing that the crowd could do nothing but buy another ticket and watch the remaining movie, some other day, I decided to step in and do something. Thankfully, I had brought my Pocket Home Cinema Mini Projector with 50" Screen+Remote for TV and Laptop with me. I got up on the podium and invited everyone for a free personal screening of Sholay in the Ramlila Maidan the same evening. The crowd cheered.

I arranged for a big white blanket to be hung right in the middle of the Ramlila Maidan. As people started pouring in, I asked them to sit right in front of it. At first, they were perplexed. “BDO Saab, kaa karan waale hain?” they thought. When people settled down, I took out my ultra light and portable Pocket Home Cinema Mini Projector, attached it to my laptop through the AV cable and adjusted the screen size to make the video appear on the white blanket. I had also installed a small white LED for clearer video image. Then I pressed the ‘play’ button and the credit music of Sholay started. The audience couldn’t believe their eyes! They began hooting and whistling at the miracle. Add to that the 4:3 aspect ratio and the 50-inch screen for theatre view gave them the fulltoo cinema hall feel in their very own Ramlila Maidan!
With the Pocket Home Cinema Mini Projector being battery-operated, there was no fear of power cuts either. The projection size ranging from 6 inch to 50 inch and the projection resolution of 640 x 480 pixels added to the quality of the film. The crowd went mad with laughter when on their request I replayed Veeru’s ‘soosaiid’ scene (you cannot replay scenes in theatres) When the show was over, the sarpanch was so impressed that he requested me to send him a personal Pocket Home Cinema Mini Projector with 50" Screen so that he could watch his favourite videos and pictures on a big screen. He also promised to use the mini projector to hold a fortnightly film screening for the villagers.
As expected, the entire Bishangarh was impressed by the Pocket Home Cinema Mini Projector with 50" Screen. Who would want to go to a theatre when they could play videos and music in their own backyard?
