Chennai 600028
Posted by Dylan on July 9, 2009There are 5-star hotels, and then there are 5-star hotels. Chennai can convince you, more than any other city perhaps, what it means to meet the world-class standards of luxury and excellence. Featuring exquisite design that merges the local color with international flair, and service that emphasizes a commitment to the tradition of hospitality, guests here are in for a rejuvenation of body and spirit. Chennai is a fascinating city, with a lively urban center, and many natural and historic sights that are simply gorgeous and stunning. There is a long tradition of arts here, with some of the greatest music festivals in the world, playing both classical European and classical Indian.
Chennai is also one of the world’s film hubs, being home to Kollywood. It gets its name from being in the Kodambakkam district in Chennai, and is thus a merging of its first two letters and Hollywood. Kollywood has a long and fascinating history, with silent movies in the early part of the 20th century, Tamil film companies opening in Madras in the 30s and 40s, and its steady position as a film producer for Southern India. This makes Chennai an excellent place for star-gazing, and tourists here might catch a glimpse of upcoming actress Vijayalakshmi.
She’s one of many faces to contribute her acting talents to the very successful Chennai 600028. The numbers in the title refer to the pin code of the place where the film is set, and the subject matter here is cricket. The film is the story of two young cricket teams, the Sharks and the Rockers, as they spar off in the field and also in their daily lives. Of course there is a love story, and several in fact. It has some of the steamiest scenes on the Kollywood screen, and this certainly widens its appeal. Chennai 600028 includes a lot of street slang, as spoken by the youth of Chennai, and this also gives it a certain raw energy, and demonstrates language in a state of flux.
