		There are actually several different ways of wearing madisaar (traditional 9-yard sari) within the Iyengar community itself.
		Many Iyengar women from Karnataka also wear the thalaippu over the right shoulder, but the entire style of wrapping the sari is different.
		Word has it that wearing the thalaippu over the right shoulder is actually the older, original madisaar, just as the mun-kudumi (forelock) was the "original" way of sporting the shikha.

		Sneha was happy with her madisaar maami getup in Ayudham.
		She used to take two hours to dress up in madisaar.
		Now the actress shifted to Telugu where she has three films and all of them in homely roles.

		It is worn only by a very very small % of women that too during special religious Pooja days.
		This is specific to Iyer madisaar type...which I swear even not many middle aged women even remember.
		If anyone wears a saree in THIS style and go outside Mylapore, Triplicane, Srirangam, she will be the butt of jokes.

		Had gone for this in the morn...During the lunch hour somehow the topic of wearing a Madisaar came up - For those who aren't quite aware of what it is all about, it's a tamil brahmin gal's marriage attire :) - rather, a typical iyer aathu bride's attire!!
		Three cheers to Suchi, who stood cutely tucked in the madisaar & Ram, with his panchakatcham draped out to accept all atshadhai!!!
		Now, for those who are interested, please visit this forum thread on Panchakatcham & Madisaar.

		Hence 3 brothers set out to impersonate the fourth leading to hilarious sequences that end at a hill top bungalow which seems be nothing more than a rickety single room apartment waiting to fall down anytime from the top of the hill.
		The movie finally ends with the “alls well that ends well” formula, after some hilarious sequences like a madisaar clad S.N.Lakshmi showing some karate moves and finally getting her haunches on fire..
		It is a highly illogical affair, but we have seen so many like these from the likes of Charles Chaplin and others, where the only intention is to generate some laughs and nothing else.

	KHALEEJ TIMES ONLINE - DEFINITELY NEW! ( At the Box Office )
		For while good ole Simran is there to provide all the belly button and gyrating-behinds routine, why should the producer Suryah need Kiran, except of course for crude commercial collection.
		Wonder if anybody out there has seen a nine-yards clad madisaar maami showing deep décolletage and the graceful sari worn way below the belly will have the entire community up in arms against the director.
		Suryah while certainly not easy on the eye is delightful to watch.

		Infact the famous Raasi Silks of Madras even had a campaign for its `Avvai Shanmuki` saris, which were sold out in the first week after the release of the film.

		Adjusting her madisaar, donning the highest heeled kolhapuri chappals she had, she left the house.
		Walking at a brisk pace, she reached the middle of the road, and did a fainting act right there crying out aloud, "Ayyo Raama !".
		All her party members won clinging to her madisaar tails.

		I also wonder why, when producers spend crores of rupees on movies they can't hire a person to tie an authentic madisaar (even the wikipedia has an entry!).
		Most of the heroines in madisaar look like they are going to trip and fall any minute and there is not much difference between Iyer Kattu and Iyengar Kattu in the movies.
		The only movies that comes to mind with a good Iyer Kattu is 'Michael Madana Kama Rajan' and 'Avvai Shanmugi' and one with good Iyengar kattu is 'Hey Ram'.

		Maybe we could do something for the sarees too.

		Tacky sets, lots of dry ice, large Batata Vadaas in the background.
		He's now a tam brahm complete in a veshti, angavastram and kudumi, playing the mridangam, while she's in a madisaar and doing Bharatnatyam moves to, well, Batata Vadaaaa...
		And before you can get over that, they're suddenly transformed into fisherfolk pretending to row a boat with a huge Batata Vada in the middle.
