In the video, the creator explained what led to the commotion. He said, “Ye sab chaos isliye chal raha hai kyunki hum Ramayana movie IMAX 3D mein dekhne aaye the, Seawoods Cinepolis Mall ke andar. Hamara experience bahut kharab raha, because movie start hui toh woh 3D mein nahi thi. Aur jab 3D mein start hui, toh movie pause ho gayi”.He did confirm that the IMAX staff had promised a full refund for the tickets, but said, “But humein dekhna tha IMAX mein. Subah-subah Rs. 1,000-2,000 kharcha karke, kuch log specially Ulhasnagar se aaye the IMAX mein 3D dekhne ke liye.” Wrapping up the video, he urged the Cinepolis management to look into the issue, saying, “Agar koi bhi makers dekh rahe hain ya Cinepolis Mall ki management team dekh rahi hai, toh please isko fix karo, because ye har baar hota hai.”
