Interval bangs!!!!

I would like to share some of my best movie interval experiences. When the Interval frame is so nicely handled such that audience eagerly awaits for the remaining half of the movie, most people call it as Interval bang. Usually its conventional in Indian cinema that something unexpected is expected to happen during the interval and some movie makers will take so much care with the scenes almost equally to that of a climax or opening sequences. Here i would like to share some interval bangs for which i felt thrilled.
My first such experience i remember is a movie 'Roja' directed by mani rathnam. The opening scene in the movie starts off with a gun battle between the Indian army and terrorists. Then in few minutes the movie takes a huge turn transfering us to some remote location in south india where people are completely ignorant of the happenings in kashmir. The movie is now completely a romantic love drama between a city husband and a village wife. But as you keep watching it you enjoy the romantic drama ut at the same time your sub concious mind expecting something to be happened. And then the time has come where terrorists attack arvindh swamy all of a sudden at a temple with guns and masks and his wife roja played by madhubala runs after the terrorist vans in the interval scene. That very scene shown with lot of intensity in it made me remember it for a long time. Whenerver i watch the movie i used to wait for the scene.
I remember another movie 'CRIMINAL' which is a remake of 'FUGITIVE' also had a good interval scene though the movie did a bad run at the box office. I remember the scene where nagarjuna esacapes from the police van while on his way to the prison. In my opinion the very scene was very well handled indicating the audience to fasten their seat belts. I remember the dialogue by nasser ( played as cop ) ' railway stations, hospitals, check posts, bus stops anni vethakandi denini vadilipettakandi, anni vehicles search cheyandi.... press ki photos pampinchandi... paripoyina khaidhi peru Dr. Ajay varma.....INTERVAL'.
After some 8 to 9 years later and that is the time when i completed my intermediate and about to join in GITAM college. A Jr.NTR movie got released which is well known for its intervel bang. That very movie had a tremendous impact where people started talking about interval scene. I never heard before that movie people saying that interval is great. But after this movie many movies started concentrating on the interval scenes. In my opinion it a trend setter for interval bangs.The movie is 'SIMHADRI' directed by rajamouli. Rajamouli is special as far as intervals are concerned. People talk about his interval scenes in the movies.
And a couple of years later i saw a movie in Jagadamba theatre with lots of crowd. The movie is 'Chatrapathi' where the movie ends at interval. There will be tremendous emotion packed scenes during the interval. The interval emotion is too high where the audience are amazed and expects the same in the second half. But the second half comes down. If by chance the emotion continued in second half of that movie prabhas would have become a super star overnight.
So thats it... i am awating for a movie now with such an intense interval pack.
