Chennai unfurls its updated answer to north India’s ‘ghagra-choli’. Deepika Padukone gives it the thumbs up. With a broad zari border on a green dupatta, an orange silk blouse and a flowing yellow skirt, Deepika Padukone in a pavadai thavani, or half-sari, is almost a cliché in the role of village belle in Chennai Express, which releases on 8 August.
The humble half-sari, once the bridge outfit for girls too old to wear the traditional silk skirt without a dupatta but too young to graduate to a sari, has now been adopted by the Hindi film industry.
