I am not so sure - if its 3rd birth it should be "piravi" not "pirai" , but then my tamil is not very good !

I think Pirai has to do with the moon - the Third quarter of the Moon



This is the phase when the moon is half-lit

After first quarter, the Moon would be a waxing gibbous, and continue growing until it reached full. The Moon would then begin to shrink, becoming first a waning gibbous and eventually reaching third quarter. Following third quarter it becomes a waning crescent, and continues to shrink until it becomes invisible at new Moon.

And i think in the movies context it probably denotes "Kamal/SriDevi relationship" , something that is equally shared but leading towards a doomed outcome ( the moon vanishes and so does their relationship)

I think Hindi Titl;e Sadma was well suited too, it could be outcome or original CHOT=Sadma!

Very interesting analysis. People also relate madness with fullmoon, since Sridevi had amnesia (and to some extent its kid of "mad"), may be it is called 3rd pirai. - WOW I am doing good here.

If its a new movie of current generation, Kamal must have met Sridevi on 3rd lunar night and probably Sridevi also left him on the same 3rd lunar night and thus the name.

My computer monitor is dying

Pretty sure its the monitor. It takes forever to warm up, and even then I'm not sure its warming up to full brightness. Its about 6 years old.

note comments by JamesBond007 in the thread. looks like our agent is losing his memory

PS- is this a remake or a dubbing?

er.. aah..aam! would you believe if I say I was checking Arsh's memory? Anybody watching the Super Bowl XL now?

lets not change the topic. I wasn't born yesterday

Then was it the day before? The Super Bowl game is over!




What were we talking about again!

I think time to connect threads

If I'm not mistaken, it seems like both the Tamil and Hindi versions were shot back to back, ala Hey Ram/Mumbai Xpress. It's not dubbed, that's for sure.

I just bought the BEI version recently and actually didn't think it looked as bad as it does in the screenshots DU posted. It's a little darker than Shemaroo's and the colours aren't as vibrant, but I reckon that fits the tone of the movie better. It certainly didn't look as contrast-heavy and bleak as in the shots.

I think only two of the songs were the same in both the Tamil and Hindi versions though. Gulshan Grover played the part in the Hindi version done by Somayajulu in the Tamil version.

but stephen it is criminal for BEI not to present this film with OAR and anamorphic imho!!

I am not satisfied!! I hope Ayangran etc might do it anamorphic?
