Quote:
Shanti was 10 when I first saw her.”
It was a meeting that 54-year-old Murali T., working in an MNC in the city now, would never forget. Hailing from Madurai and lured by the sights and sounds of cinema, his dream as a young boy was to watch his matinee idol Sivaji Ganesan on the big screen — at the “cool Shanti Theatre”.
So, on one fine day in 1971, after a family get-together in Madras, Murali went — accompanied by his mother and sister — to watch Thangaikkaga . As luck would have it, the film was pulled off the theatre just a day ago, and a Hindi film was playing. “That didn’t upset me much… I still wanted to watch a movie sitting inside an AC theatre; the cool air inside was just amazing.”
