A trailer of the movie BOYS, directed by Shankar, was shown at the Ambika Theatre Complex, Madurai, on 18th July, 2003., and it is first of its kind that a Tamil movie trailer being shown outside Chennai. |

A Rs.22-crore technical, visual and musical mega movie, BOYS, made with the latest 'Digital Track System 5.1' technology, could be copied only in the DVD format, so those attempting to pirate CDs of this colossal venture will have to bite the dust said the Executive of A.M.Rathnam's production company at the end of a trailer show.
"Chennai is cosmopolitan in nature, and hence, the assessment is complete only in Madurai, the real barometer for success of any movie", says VSP.Karmega Mani, owner of the theatre.

No doubt! It is actually catching up with the trend of looking southwards for patronage set by Kamal Hassan, a few months ago, for his film 'Sandiyar' (this title to be changed due to some problems). |
| First time in the Judicial History of Tamil Nadu : A witness examined by videoconferencing on 17thth July, 2003 in MADURAI |
For the first time in the judicial history of Tamil Nadu, a witness was examined by means of video conferencing in connection with a CBI a case here today.
The special judge, K.Bhaskaran, chaired the 'online sitting', in which the Registrar-General of the Madras High Court, A.C.Arumugaperumal Adityan, was examined for 40 minutes in the Customs and Central Excise Department. (Mr.Adityan was XMetropolitan Magistrate in Chennai when he recorded the confession of an accused in 1989).
According to court sources, Mr.Adityan had to be present at a farewell function for Justice P.Thangavel in Chennai, and was to leave for New Delhi the same evening on an official assignment. Instead of adjourning the hearing, the Chief Justice, B.Subhashan Reddy, suggested that the witness be examined by means of videoconferencing.
As the facility was not available on district court premises, special permission was obtained from the High Court to hold a sitting in the office of the Madurai City Police Commissioner. The proceedings were recorded on a videocassette, which, the court sources claimed, would be admissible evidence.
"This is a boon to the judiciary as it could expedite the proceedings. The videoconferencing will not only save valuable time of witnesses but also State expenditure", a senior court official told The Hindu.
