ravi September 23, 2009 at 4:59 pm: hi sasi evani, the idea for your movie name is interesting. Will துடிப்பு be a good name? Will let you know if I can come across something more relevant.

சுந்தர் September 1, 2011 at 2:30 pm: சசி,

உய்தி, உய்திறம், உள்ளுணர்வு, உள்மதி போன்றவை நேரடியாகப் பொருள் பொருத்தம் கொண்டவை. படத்துக்கு தலைப்பாக வருமா என பாருங்கள். (துடிப்பு அழகா இருக்கு, ஆனால் நீங்கள் கேட்ட பொருளில் வருமா தெரியவில்லை.)
