Before cinema halls and streaming applications, there were movie nights beneath the open sky — sponsored by the railways, projected onto a tall white screen, and free for all to enjoy. As dusk settled, families arrived with mats and pillows, finding their spots across the field as the first frames flickered to life.

Whether it was a Tamil film or an English one, the plot didn't matter as much as the gathering.

When the film was over, they quietly packed up, still smiling and made their way home beneath a sky full of stars.
