Watch: Chennai Canvas: Madras Week Episode 7 | Language, coast and cinema

In Episode 7 of Chennai Canvas: Madras Week, we explore three distinct threads that have shaped the citys identity. From the colourful evolution of Madras bashai and the many languages that have enriched Chennais everyday vocabulary, to the citys coast as a vast open-air arena where people gather, relax and celebrate, and the nostalgia surrounding Anand Theatre, once a landmark destination for generations of film buffs. Together, these stories capture the language, spaces and memories that make Chennai unique.
