The movie depicts their struggles and ends with a comment about the cooperative movement that emerged to take care of the interests of the workers.īut the movie is focussed on Prakash Raj and mostly narrated in flashback. Set in the dying days of the Raj, the movie depicts the pitiable state of the silk weavers in the town of Kanchipuram as they were unorganized and marginalized to live a perpetual ‘hand-to-mouth’ existence. It is a pity that this little gem is not heard of much and has been seen by a limited audience.

We are used to seeing Prakash Raj play the bad guy in the potboiler hindi movies and Priyadarshan is well-known for his mindless comedies. The classic movie helmed by Priyadarshan and featuring Prakash Raj as its protagonist, a talented but poor weaver of Kanjeevaram silk sarees, won both the Best Feature Film and Best Actor National Awards for the year 2007. The initial transition has some fun moments – Jai opening the tap and crying out his heart out, his father making couple of lame jokes about the Sharks’ team.Ĭontinue reading Venkat Prabhu’s buddy movie, ‘Chennai 600028’! → Forced by his parents, he moves from his old area of Royapuram (housing the local Cricket team ‘Royapuram Rockers’) straight into what he would regard as enemy territory of Visalakshi Thottam in suburban Mandaveli (housing the rival team ‘Sharks XI’). It traces the journey of galli cricket in Chennai. Raghu (Jai) has been used a peg character to set the story and provide it a context. It was a proper masala movie, and had all the right ingredients to make it popular with the youth : glamour songs, bucketfuls of sentiments on friendship and love, and the concept of underdogs winning the final moment – well almost! from Chennai 600028 Image Courtesy – Sun Music HD

Bereft of any big stars, this low-budget movie based on the concept of street Cricket in a middle class area in the heart of Chennai city proved to be a surprising sleeper hit that launched many new stars.
