This is a clip from the Tamil film ‘Pirivom Santhipom’, depicting very accurately wedding ceremonies that take place in our community. I must say, I was very surprised to see how accurate it was. Oh, and one of my relatives appeared somewhere in the film just a short while after this clip. A movie star in the family!
Haha, googling for chettinad weddings brought me here…that’a nice song though!

miapan, Google works in mysterious ways huh! This song is really good, simple yet illustrative. The other songs in the film aren’t too bad either, so give them a go!

If the caught the gossiping, the song would lose its effect! The song was there to drown all the gossiping out. But yes, the gossiping is at the very heart of all weddings, and any major function actually!
A certain profoundness?? Why thanks! I am very flattered indeed!
