I have not seen this play nor read it. But i can understand you excitement. I remember reading Appu Sami and Seeta Patti serial which used to come in Ananda Vicatan or some such tamil magazine those days. It used to be very funny.<br />Anytime, Tamil comedies are fun, and Hindi comedies are really useless. Even now we enjoy tamil comedies in channels like Aditya channel and other such channels.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-3901145694355047772013-12-05T23:14:01.925-08:002013-12-05T23:14:01.925-08:00This is a tamil play, so obviously you would'n...This is a tamil play, so obviously you would'nt know shilpa. It is a humorous play but some of the situations are not relevant to today's time. If adapted to today's times then it will loose its originality. yeah, you are right aobut the hype sometimes, it does'nt meet our expectations.

Have never heard or read about it! The hype and falling below expectations remind me of the Pakistani Plays which were a rage in North when we were kids. I happened to saw a part of one play on TV a few years ago and I wondered about all the hullabaloo about these plays then!

This was my longtime wish. <br /><br />yes, i believe in the book, the appalam becomes appalam saucers when they dry and fly from the terrace. All those situations were missing in the drama.

She felt it was a timeless piece and may be the drama version was abridged due to time constraints. or maybe I should have gone with less expectations. Thank you, Ramesh.

I think, by photo finish, the book is slightly better than the drama. The book describes the scenes in detail. For example, the conversation and the feelings of the sastrigals when they boarded the plane at the Madras Airport. This is only one example.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666976084812162595.post-71142845161917331412013-12-02T05:36:19.392-08:002013-12-02T05:36:19.392-08:00I remember watching this play in the tv as a kid. ...I remember watching this play in the tv as a kid.
