Plot

The movie begins more like Titanic as an old English woman Amy Wilkinson (Amy Jackson) almost at her death bed in London, wants to come down to Chennai in search of a young man Parithi (Arya) whom she last saw on 15 August, 1947.

Almost 60 years from then, she is clueless as she has just a picture of Parithi, which was taken then. The search begins. There are scenes where she recalls her past. It is revealed that Parithi was a valorous dhobi in Madarasapattinam. He revolts against the British officials for they plan to construct a golf course in their dhobikhana.

Comes Amy, daughter of Madras Presidency Governor, and she develops an affinity towards Parithi. She is friendly and helpful. Sequence of events leaves romance blossoming between them. Parithi calls her affectionately as Duraiamma.

Even as they face trouble from the angry White officials, comes 15 August 1947 which brings freedom to India. Duraiamma is now forced to go back to England. Parithi runs from pillar to post and fights to hold his sweetheart’s hands. But he couldn’t achieve his mission. Cut to present, Duraiamma is back in search of Parithi. Did she realise her mission forms the climax.

The movie has wonderfully picturesqued madraspatnam, the principality of the then Madras state. The picturesque of the boat ride on the Buckingham canal, which is today the dirty Cooum was extraordinary.

Masarasapatinam released on July 9th and running with packed houses. According to sources It would be another landmark in the history of Indian cinema after Slumdog Millionaire in showcasing Indian films and culture to the world. Madrasapattinam transcends the language boundaries and takes Tamil cinema to the world arena!
