This one was waiting to happen. Put Chutney, the division of the digital video production company Culture Machine that looks at Southern popular cultures, has assembled an innovative tribute to the recurring motif of trains in Mani Ratnam’s movies. In Train of Romance, shadow play artists recreate iconic scenes from Mouna Ragam, Alaipayuthey (dubbed in Hindi as Saathiya) and OK Kanmani (being remade in Hindi as OK Jaanu). Will a tribute to Ratnam’s other favourite, the rains, be next?
