The re-release fanfare for ‘Ghilli,’ starring Vijay, Trisha and Prakash Raj, reminds one of a time when masala films didn’t bank on a ton of violence and higher budgets but a terrific lead cast, an engaging screenplay and a perfect soundtrack.
Nothing hits home quite like nostalgia, and as the recent trend of re-releases has proved, it is especially the case when it comes to cinema. 20 years after it was originally released, Ghilli is back on the big screen, and a matinee show on the packed main screen at PVR Sathyam cinemas on Saturday saw a crowd of fans dance to the opening beats of ‘Soora Thenga,’ as if it was one of the several First Day First Show celebrations of actor Vijay’s films that we have witnessed over the last two decades.
In conversation with The Hindu, Director Darani, Cinematographer S. Gopinath and Producer AM Ratnam share their thoughts about the film's journey and the nostalgic moments from the sets of Ghilli.
