What happens
Chennai 600028 is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language sports comedy film written and directed by Venkat Prabhu in his directorial debut. It stars Jai, Shiva, Premji, Aravind Akash, Nithin Sathya and newcomers Ajay Raj, Vijay Vasanth, Prasanna, Inigo Prabakaran, Karthik and Arun in the lead along with Vijayalakshmi Feroz and Kristine Zedek, making their acting debuts as well. The film was produced by S. P. B. Charan along with J. K. Saravana, a Singapore-based award-winning producer. The film's score and soundtrack were composed by Premji and Yuvan Shankar Raja respectively. The film is based on street cricket played in India, focusing on various themes such as friendship, love and rivalry in a suburban area. Following its theatrical release on 27 April 2007, it received critical acclaim and emerged as a surprise sleeper hit, running successfully for more than one year in theatres, while going on to achieve cult status in the subsequent years. The film's title is derived from the pincode for Mandaveli, a suburb of Chennai, where the story takes place. The success of the film gained the relatively unknown actors – Jai, Shiva, Premji and Nithin Sathya, newcomers Vijayalakshmi and Vijay Vasanth and the director Venkat Prabhu popularity. The film was also remade in Bengali as Le Chakka (2010), in Sinhalese as Super Six (2012), and in Kannada as Bangalore 560023 (2015). A sequel to the film, Chennai 600028 II: Second Innings, was released in 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
