I am writing this post some 39,000 feet over Europe, as my transcontinental flight makes its way to Chicago. On an earlier leg, from Chennai to Abu Dhabi, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that one of the in-flight movie options was Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa [Will you cross the skies and come over?]. I had not watched the Tamil movie before, but having been in Chennai around the time of the movie's release about a year ago, I had caught portions of the catchy soundtrack (by A.R. Rahman) on the air waves.
