[rajraj]

The Hindu article says that Star Talkies in Triplicane is set to be demolished. The article also says that Madhumati ran for 50 weeks and Yaadon ki Baarat ran for 100 weeks in that theatre.

I think I posted a song from Madhumati. Here is a song from Yaadon Ki Baaraat(1973)



I understand that the movie was remade in Hindi,Tamil and Telugu. Here are the songs from the remakes:



I chose this song (old version) because of the dress worn by the kids. It brought back memories of Deepavali as a kid. You notice that the kids are wearing similar shirts and trousers. That was what we had. My father used to get yards of cloth a couple of weeks before Deepavali. The next day a tailor would show up at our home to take measurements for all of us brothers. A few days later the tailor would deliver the shirts and half trousers and collect his charges. On Deepavali day we would appear in similar clothing! A yard cost between one and a half rupees to two rupees depending on whether it was Binny Mill or a mill from Bombay state.

Same thing happened with haircuts. On a Sunday a barber would show up and give haircuts for all of us starting with my father!

It is sad to see landmarks disappear. In Bangalore I used to frequent Opera Theatre for English movies. Now it is a shopping centre!
