Reel Life vs Real Life

Hi all,

I have shared many posts of this traditional rustic attire from movies. We have seen plenty of actresses and models wear this dress.
But these weren't from their real life; these were part of their reel life. Most actresses wore it during song sequences or for scenes when their character is supposed to be dressed in lungi. Same are the cases with models; they were it for photo-sessions or for advertisements.

Lets talk about how it is in real life. I am pretty sure none of them wear lungi blouse in real life. The dress is very very rare. Mostly worn by women over 50 and rarely worn my women under 40.

It is like there are more men who like these dresses than women. I personally know many (including myself) who love to see women dressed in lungi blouse. I have been one of the lucky ones; my wife too likes this dress and fortunately she used to wear this even before we started a relationship. I think it is safe to believe that this isn't that common; infact this is very rare.

I had planned for a post where reader of this blog can share their experience with this attire. I had communicated with few of them(who mail me) via mail. I will soon share that post. Mean while this post if for the other readers to share their experiences : Men , share what makes you like this attire, tell us what you expect from your better half on this and their thoughts on this. Women, please share your thoughts on this attire and your experience wearing this (if any). Feel free to comment as anonymous.

This pic of Sona is the only one of any actress where they have worn lungi blouse thorthu at their home/privacy and not in a movie set or for photo session.

Lungi Blouse in Malayalam Movies 4

Hi all,

Long time since I posted last. I had been quite busy dealing with stuff.

As the title suggests this is the fourth installment of a popular topic, lungi blouse in malayalam movies. Once again, I am here to share my thoughts on actresses wearing this attire in malayalam movies.

Recently, we had been able to see few movies that uses this attire either through out the film or for song sequences. For me, as long as the main actress is wearing it and is not used to spice up an item song, it is move in the right direction.

The more screen time this attire gets the more people will see it and accept it as a normal dress. Especially if young actresses wear this dress like any other, younger generation will get imprinted to a favorable outlook (rather that the 'yuck' attitude) towards this dress. It is good to see actresses like Ansiba wear lungi blouse bringing it to the new young generation of girls.

We (Saranya and I) have moved back to Pune. We needed a change of location and this helps. Unlike last time we were here, this time she is more comfortable in wearing this attire. We had spent about an year back home and she had been wearing lungi blouse and thorthu more often than before and not just at our home or in the field but also move around the neighborhood. Many of her school and college friends and some of my friends who visited us saw her in this dress and surprisingly, she was okay with it. She wasn't as shy as she used to be. May because of this, now she wears it more frequently than before in and around our flat in Pune. She is neither reluctant to speak/visit to our malayali neighbors in the building wearing this nor is she shy to go out for a walk or buy vegetables from the shops near the main road. I must confess, I am loving it.

I have had been working on few posts before which I didnt get time to complete. I will try to sort them out and post them as soon as possible.

Mean while, check out these few pics and share your thoughts with us.
