Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
Come, mothers, come, fathers
Come, younger brothers, come, elder brothers
Oh come, come, take a seat
Don't just keep standing after coming all the way
Oh come, come, take a seat
Don't just keep standing after coming all the way
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
The German revolution was shown in cinema
And that Chinese war in cinema
We saw it all in cinema
We saw the Chola kings in cinema
We saw the Eelam Tamils in cinema
We demand their justice through cinema
Shakespeare's romance in cinema
And the love story of Laila and Majnu
Never having seen what a pension looks like
We saw it and enjoyed it in cinema
The desires hidden inside you and me
We saw them fully in cinema
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
We saw God in cinema
We saw true love in cinema
Ah, there is no cinema without love
We saw foreign lands in cinema
Seeing Darwin too was in cinema
Ah, we saw poet Bharathi in cinema
Inter-caste marriages in cinema
We watched and celebrated them in cinema
Kannagi's statue stands on the Marina beach
We saw her story in cinema
Seeing outer space and travelling to the moon
Learning about science happened through cinema
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
Come, mothers, come, fathers
Come, younger brothers, come, elder brothers
Oh come, come, take a seat
Don't just keep standing after coming all the way
Oh come, come, take a seat
Don't just keep standing after coming all the way
Let's watch a movie
Let's watch a movie
Come to the theatre
Forget your worries
Let your heart rejoice and leave with happiness
