The audio launch was very entertaining with interesting speeches delivered by the guests. Jeyam Ravi, speaking at the function, said that movies should be categorized as small and big based only on their success and not on their budget, if that was considered as a criterion for discrimination then they should be called small budget films and big budget films. This was his take on a comment that small films are finding it difficult to make it amongst big ones and that small films should also be encouraged. This had the audience break into a loud applause, as it was a very mature comment from a young actor.

Later, when director Balachander took to the stage he had a word of praise for Jeyam Ravi for enlightening him on this aspect as he, like many others, had over time started mentioning small budget films as small films and that it was not the right thing to do. In fact, midway through the speech, the word small films almost slipped out of KB’s mouth but he corrected it and gestured towards Ravi, which literally brought the house down. In all it was an entertaining evening for those at the function. Ravi towards the end of the function sought the blessings of KB. A legendary director accepting a mistake in the presence of a gathering and even acknowledging it! That’s humility personified.
