[@webabhi]

Chennai is a city which produces 3 cars every minute so having a mall is no big deal. There was a Malayalam film called Helen from Kerala and it was shot in a mall in Muvattupuzha, a small town in Kerala. In the film the girl Helen gets stuck in the cold storage of a QSR joint in the mall. Also these days Indian cinema is excellent. There is a Hindi film called Gulmohar with Sharmila Tagore and the film was better than The Whale and Sharmila Tagore's acting was on par with Brendan Fraser. Then there is a Telugu movie called Awe which is almost like Everything Everywhere All at Once. Even Tamil cinema is excellent these days. My 5 favorite Tamil films are the following: 1) Aruvi 2) Super Deluxe 3) Gargi 4) Vikram Vedha 5) 96
