young Ashwath Naganathan watched Tamil film Duet in 1994 with his family at Chennai’s Prarthana Beach Drive-In theatre. When Kadri Gopalnath’s saxophone tunes from this musical did not punctuate the night air, Ashwath could hear the waves of the sea in the not-so-distant background.
“We were a big group and went in two cars,” he says, recalling a nearly three decades’ old experience like it was just yesterday. Subsequently, Ashwath has watched more than 25 films there, including hits like Indian, Mudhalvan and Vasoolraja MBBS. “We have a deep emotional connect with this place.”
