Discussion on Diwali Celebrations and Movies

Thank you so, so much. The film will definitely be a hit, sir.

Because whenever everyone has a problem, they’ll go to Karuppan.

Looks like Karpan is at home. That’s why.

It’ll be an extraordinary blast. No doubt.

I had something I wanted to say about Surya sir. That is…

At our house on Diwali, we first start with fountain fireworks.

Then we move on to single-shot crackers. Then come the Lakshmi bombs.

At the very end, you lit Saravanan’s firecracker garland first.

I was waiting to say something in front of sir, but he’s gone now.

They’re editing it properly now, making it seem as though he’s there.

This is Behindwoods, after all. They’ll do all that.

As I speak, they’ll insert shots of sir laughing and clapping,

making it look that way.

Everybody, put your hands together. Let’s give them a big hand. Ready?

No, nothing. I...

I told them all about the interview. But Sir probably hasn't checked the confirmation.

He's here in person today. I thought I'd tell him directly and leave.

That's why I came.

Ghajini was released when I was in tenth grade.

When I was studying in tenth grade, right when the movie came out, I skipped tuition

and went straight to the theater to watch it.

There was all sorts of stuff in that movie.

But for me, in the song “Suttum Vizhi Sudare” that came in the film,

the orange-colored T-shirt and orange-colored jeans

are all I remember.

It was just a few days before Diwali.

Back then, we'd get only two new dresses a year at home.

One for my birthday and another for Diwali.

They'd make me wear the Diwali outfit again for Pongal.

Since ours was a budget family, he went to Sarathas to get the right Diwali outfit.

In Trichy. He went to Sarathas for an orange T-shirt,

orange jeans.

He looked at me like that. "Brother, only because you told me, I’ve

just now learned about it. Where the hell would I find orange jeans?"

That meant, in all of Trichy, until the end of that year, orange jeans weren’t available.

That meant, in all of Trichy, until the end of that year, orange jeans weren’t available.

Only the T-shirt was available. After searching everywhere, in the end, it

was

like a ladies’T-shirt. So until the very end, I couldn’t find orange

jeans.

I couldn’t get the jeans or the T-shirt. There are so many things like that.

But the stars we grew up watching,

seeing them right before my eyes today is such a rare, rare thing for me.

There are so many things in this show. Today, I wanted to tell this in front of sir.

He left.

He left.

Look, Surya sir is in the front row, see how enthusiastically he's applauding.

So, put it in correctly, the way sir saw it.

After that, another incident happened.
