Re Release Enga Veetu Pillai
Sri MGR Year 98, 26th May, Tuesday
Vijaya Vauhini first Tamil colour movie and our beloved Leader MGR’s super hit movie of 1965, Enga Veetu Pillai was re-released this week in Mahalakshmi theatre.
Recently Mahalakshmi theatre was renovated with Qube system and DTS and they showed mostly new movies.
The posters for Enga Veetu Pillai mentioned as Qube format. But the movie is not digital.
The print is worst with lot of cuts but the audio is satisfactory. Around 800 people came to watch the evening show of our Puratchi Thalaivar MGR starrer dual action movie Enga Veetu Pillai.
