Ibrahim’s film, in fact, is famous for featuring a lead pair that barely utters a word to each other throughout the 121 minutes. Her eyes always manage to seek out Raja, be it in college corridors or the train that they both take to college, but when Raja approaches her, Subhadra runs in the opposite direction. Subhadra’s hot-cold attitude leaves Raja confused.

Things get more complicated as time passes. However, Raja isn’t entirely sure if that means she likes him too. Clad in a saree whose pallu is worn like a tight shawl, Subhadra returns his smile as well as his stare in that instant. Raja falls in love with Subhadra the minute he sees her. The title, which implies one-sided love, explores the unrequited love of college student Raja Shankar) for his classmate Subhadra (Roopa). Indeed it is worth recalling EM Ibrahim’s musical for the unique manner in which it used its soundtrack. He remembered one film in particular: the 1980 musical Oru Thalai Ragam. The show is a throwback to old Tamil films that were led by music, said Anup Chandrashekhar, the business head of the channel. Music composer Madhan Karky, who is one of the brains behind the show, described its objective ahead in April: “To show that an entire story can be told using songs as a device”. Each episode of the Colours Tamil show features a 20-minute narrative narrated through songs. The title of the ongoing television series Oru Kadhai Paadattuma Sir (Shall I Sing a Story Sir) emanates from its theme.
