Meet Arasan, who has been working as a tailor for the past 20 years. The first film he watched in a theatre was Varuvan Vadeivelan, which he describes as a ‘good sami padam’. A fan of MGR, Arasan remembers watching films right from when they cost just 50 paise for a ticket. For a six of clock show, he says he would leave home at 3 pm so he can walk the 15 to 20 km distance to the theatre. Cinema, as he says, is an aaravam (craze) for him.   

In this fortnightly, we trace the story of fans and the films that have made them.
