Tourists from around the world often complain about the mess and garbage seen in many places in India. Now a recent incident shows that this bad habit has become part of the behavior of many Indians.
A video from a cinema hall in the UK is going viral on social media, where a similar unpleasant incident happened during the screening of a Hindi film.
First video from 2023 where theatre staff in USA stopped the screening of Veera Simha Reddy and asked the audience to leave for creating a mess.

We didn't learn. Yesterday in UK, Hari Hara Veera Mallu screening was stopped after fans threw confetti.
I understand for some it… pic.twitter.com/SN8M3cI7Rx
In the video, it can be seen that due to the mess created by Indian viewers, the cinema staff had to stop the screening and directly confronted them.
According to the video, Indian moviegoers sitting in the cinema threw colorful paper pieces into the air during the film, filling the hall with trash. Because of this, the cleaning staff paused the movie and questioned them.
However, the Indian audience not only refused to accept their mistake but also blamed the staff instead of apologizing.
One of them stubbornly said that if there had been a sign outside, they wouldn’t have done it. To this, a staff member sharply replied, so you’re saying you don’t even have common sense?
The staff members appeared very angry in the video. They said that after the movie ends, the responsibility of cleaning will fall on them, while the viewers will leave without any guilt.
The video has been shared many times on social media, and many people have reacted strongly to this behavior.
One user wrote that at the very least, they should have apologized and offered to help with the cleaning. That would have been a more respectful attitude.
Another user said that such people should be called out on the spot because they ruin the experience for others.
A third person expressed regret and said that none of them apologized. Instead, they kept defending their actions until the end, which shows their arrogant mindset.
This incident came to light just a few days after another video went viral from Canada, where an Indian couple was seen throwing garbage on the roadside.
That video also received a lot of criticism and started a new debate about the irresponsible behavior of some Indian citizens living abroad.
