Very good article. My mother used tell us she saw as a young girl in Madras, Mukkamala garu as a Law college student and Shakespearean actor. Where are such cultured people in the filthy film world today?
In an old movie (Vande Mataram perhaps) Nagaiah says to a lady character in English 'Won't you sit down?' After the 60s the best expression our script writers could come up with has been 'take your seat'!
