Nehru stadium in Chennai - Vijay Film awards

Well, on saturday afternoon we got few tickets for Vijay Film awards that was held in Nehru stadium in Chennai. We started around 6 pm from house and it was a 45 mins drive for Rs 100 from Kodambakkam to Nehru stadium by auto-rickshaw. As usual we need to pass through the heavy saturday traffic to reach the stadium :-( Crossing T-Nagar on a sunny day is one of the greatest adventures for a person in chennai :-)

Our tickets were of balcony-3 category. The gate 3 entrance was for balcony-3 . I think, balcony-1 was were film stars were sitting and it was infront of the dias in the form of lot of small round-tables that numbered to around 50. The crowd was pouring in quickly and by around 7.00 , the indoor-stadium appeared to be very much closely packed up. I could find people sitting on the pathway / steps too !

The dias was brilliantly decorated that actually raised our expectations of the event to new heights. The lighting effects were very good. There were lot of displays (small and big). The digital background images and animation was very good . Gopi , the anchor of 'Neeya Naana' was the anchor for the vijai film awards too ! We were able to see many movie stars coming throughout the evening at regular intervals. The show started with Karthik performing few of tamil movie songs (old and new). Got a glimpse of various famous actors and actresses in tamil film industry. It was very enjoyable ! The crowd was very lively as they raised the pitch whenever an actor was named or shown as arriving over the big display .

This was the first time, i watched a film awards function lively. I felt that they played lot of different music that was heard for the first time . But, the audio was not very clear :-( I think, the balcony-1 people would have relished the music and visuals very well compared to either balcony-2 or balcony-3. Further, the dances appeared to be very good, but not extra-ordinary. Maybe, they were extra-ordinary but since i watched it lively for the first time, i could not find the difference. In the television screen, everything appears to be excellent !! :-)

I am sure, vijay television will be soon broadcasting this and hope to see it again !
