Jr NTRâs uncensored version of a song from Adurs need to be recalled here.
âWhere is that pancha kattu, where is that pilaka juttu where is that niluvu bottu chaari???â
Well, the aspects mentioned above pertaining to Brahmin are considered to be traditional and out dated. But itâs the confidence that makes that attire modern. We are talking about a few teenagers who are playing cricket wearing âpancha kattuâ, âpilaka juttuâ and âniluvu bottuâ!!!
Let us get into the details.
It needs no explanation on how the film âLagaanâ created an impact on the Indian and international audience. More than the story, it is the casting and the portrayal of the characters that became the highlight. Now, something similar seems to be happening in our own state near Eluru.
For this, we must go to a place called Dwaraka Tirumala which is also known as âChinna Tirupathiâ, a pilgrimage town. Apparently, there is a âVeda Pathashaalaâ which has got kids aging from nearly 7 to late 20s studying Vedas. Well, for them, there is also one more passion which has brought them to the streets.
Everyday, once they are through with their daily learning, the students gather on the ground and start playing cricket. The interesting part is, they play the game in their âDhotiâ without wearing any top. So, in the attire of a Vedic student, they end up playing like Sachin Tendulkar. The locals of the town have named the Vedic students as âLagaanâ team and it is heard that the boys play excellent cricket.
