A Diwali with Velayudham

Diwali was an absolute delight for the 250 Behindwoods visitors who got free tickets for the FDFS of Velayudham at various theatres in Chennai; all winners of the special Diwali contest conducted by Behindwoods. A Vijay film release is a festival in its own right and to add to the joy of things it was also Diwali. The atmosphere was electric with excitement as the winners, most of them ardent Vijay fans, arrived as early as 8 a.m for the first show scheduled at 8.30 at the Fame National multiplex in Valasarawakkam.

The audience was rapturous as the film began; it is not very often that one gets an opportunity to watch a Vijay film FDFS, especially on Diwali day. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the complete mass entertainer served by Vijay and Raja, all the songs bringing out huge rounds of applause.

Obviously, everybody had enjoyed the deft package of entertainment. The winners were also treated to a biriyani lunch by Behindwoods and also received a gift pack of crackers, personally autographed by Vijay; what better gift for the festival of lights, especially when it is handed out by the director of the film, Raja. Speaking to the audience he said that the film was getting good reports from all over and that it looked like, the performance might exceed even their biggest expectations. The audience also eagerly shared their opinions on Velayudham with Behindwoods. Most of them said that it was wonderful to watch such an entertainer on Diwali and the gifts received from Raja, autographed by Vijay had made their Diwali special and memorable.

Altogether, it was an event and a movie which suitably justified the festive mood of the day. Everyone who had come should definitely have felt that one of the most special days of the year had been spent in a memorable way. The only thing that might have been missing was perhaps a round of fireworks; but then, that is not possible within the plush interiors of the Fame National multiplex, who graciously hosted the Behindwoods winners on the big day! The fireworks however, were provided by the hooded and suited Vijay on screen and by the excited claps of all the fans as they saw their matinee idol go berserk on screen.
