I climbed on Samba's (who has since left his body) shoulders and tried to reach it. Someone else did a similar thing and soon their was a great battle scene with lots of bumping and shoving. In the end, I managed to snag it and, out of fear of losing it, I gobbled it immediately. When I got to the ground, Sambe gae me a disappointed look and said, "You could have saved me some."

I awaited the 'battle' scenes, but alas these difficult to stage scenes where done in a sparing way to save production costs, not showing actually fighting but just cinematically representing a chaotic blur of noise rather than kung-fu like fights. So, during these symbolically represented scenes I got up out of seat to re-enter the prasadam room proper and load-up on sweets from the feast earlier that same day. As I exited the screening room and enter the prasadam hall I was hit by a shower of Laddu balls. They hit hard on the body and I protected my head from injury as I thought, 'Hey I want those laddu-balls to eat. Wait till I tell the Temple President what is being done with this prasadam.' Then I looked up and saw Kuladri, Sudhanu, Syamasudhar, Kumara, Jayamurari, Janmastami and many others were all involved with targeting anyone who entered the scene—I collected as many Laddus as I could and returned to the movie.
