The viral video, posted by Sahar Rashid on her Instagram account, features Sahar and fellow movie enthusiasts recounting their cinema nightmare. In the video, they describe how their excitement turned into bewilderment when the theater erroneously played the second half of ‘Jawan’ before the first.
The video opens with Sahar proudly displaying her movie tickets, radiating anticipation for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer. However, the tone shifts dramatically as the video text reads, “The cinema trolled us.” Viewers witness Sahar explaining the baffling sequence of events, where Vue Cinema screened the film’s second part first, creating confusion among the audience.
“We thought the villain met his end, so how can there be an interval now? Then we realized that they never played the first part,” Sahar Rashid expressed in the video.

What was the movie theater gaffe?
The video quickly gained traction online, sparking outrage and disbelief among netizens. Many questioned how such a glaring error could occur within the confines of a movie theater. The incident has raised eyebrows about the lack of oversight, as no one in the theater seemed to notice that the film had commenced from its midpoint, bypassing the customary title sequence.
Directed by Atlee, ‘Jawan’ features an ensemble cast, including Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in prominent roles. Despite the cinema mishap, the film has received predominantly positive reviews and achieved the largest opening in Hindi cinema history. Within its first five days, ‘Jawan’ amassed over Rs 300 crore in India and just under Rs 600 crore worldwide.
As moviegoers demand refunds for their disrupted cinematic experience, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable and occasionally chaotic nature of live entertainment.
