UN AASAI MUGAM

Un Aasai Mugam is an independent Tamil feature film shot in crowded and challenging public spaces in Chennai and it’s suburbs. Though it’s a fictional love story we were keen on capturing the lives of people who travel everyday in Chennai’s iconic local trains as realistic as possible.

We crowdfunded and started shooting in March 2020 and the pandemic halted production. Since we were shooting at crowded live locations we had to wait another two years for things to get back to normal. We did a second round of crowdfunding in May 2022 and commenced the shoot again in Sep 2022. Though things were hard the unwavering dedication and determination by the cast and crew we successfully completed the film and  had a special Premiere show in June 2024 by inviting all our Crowd funders and supporters.
