Shriya wet in saree in Mazhai


This is a video I uploaded on my youtube channel some time back. There has been a spate of spam "wet saree" videos of deplorable quality on youtube recently, with the same video uploaded multiple times. My channel has been around for a while, and while not updated regularly, it does have in-depth descriptions for the true wet saree connoisseurs. I have decided to link those videos to my blog now, keeping most of those descriptions intact. Today's video is a clip from the movie Mazhai, and shows a very wet Shriya walking through a bazaar in the rain. She seems to enjoy the rains very much, and carries off her wet saree as if that is the most natural thing in the world. That makes her a proper wet saree user, a trait somewhat rare. The video is in 720p HD.



Mazhai is a remake of the telugu movie Varsham, starring Trisha and other non-wet-saree-clad people. The plot is simple : the heroine loves three things in life --- the hero, sarees and the rain, and not particularly in that order. This gears up for brilliant wet saree songs and scenes, this being one of them. Shriya has already met the interpid hero in some train station, danced with him wearing a cotton saree-blouse combo that changes color deliciously when wet, and kinda left him high and dry in that very station, all thanks to her useless father, and all dressed in the same wet blue saree. I must upload a video of that song someday. For now, we have Shriya, the tamil counterpart of Trisha, meeting the hero for the second time in some bazaar. In the rain. Wearing a violet chiffon saree and a wine-red blouse. To be quite honest, the saree was kinda purple and the blouse a litle lighter red before the rains started, but hey, thats what the water is for, ain't it?

So, right in the beginning of the video, we see Shriya getting quite wet in the rain. From about 00:58 onwards one can see how tranlucent her saree has become, and reveals her figure quite well. Her dress is designed to reveal more than conceal when wet, but the way Shriya carries it off is remarkable. She is somewhat less funny than Trisha in Varsham, but has way more wet-oomph than her.

However, I don't post videos simply because the heroines slip into a saree and get wet. They must be natural about it. Shriya manages that extremely well here. Notice the period from 1:15 to 1:50, where she walks with the hero, talking to him as if it is a fine morning in springtime. She plays with her wet pallu, seen most distinctly around 1:50-1:55. Around 2:00, she wipes her forehead, as if to brush away a wayward strans of sweaty hair, her hand ending up on her blouse. She plays with the pallu again around 2:05, and, in the HIGHLIGHT of this video, places her hands on her hips around 2:08, looking somewhat unimpressed with the hero's dialogue. The best capture is of course at 2:08, when she has her left hand on her hip, is looking to her left, and has a strand of very wet hair straddling her left cheek. Her wet-violet saree remains wet-wrapped on her bosom, with the wet-wine-red blouse doing its best to peek out from under the wet-transparent wet-violet saree. It is indeed quite amazing what one can do with the English language once one classifies "wet" as a certifiable universal adjective!

The description is somewhat long, but this one deserves it. I once again ask you to pause at 2:08, to revel in the beauty that a wet six yard piece can bring to the female form. I am somewhat disappointed that more of Shriya was not seen when the rains stopped, and the best non-rain wet-shot is proabably around 2:49, at which time the video ends. One can see (somewhat) and imagine (the rest) Shriya slowly dripping off as she heads home, wet to her skin, and deliciously happy!

This is of course basically an appetizer. Shriya and Trisha have done lots more in Mazhai and Varsham, with the former probably pipping Trisha to The Queen of Wet crown. But all in all, another amazing display of a gorgeous soaked-saree-clad drenched actress, completely at ease with her completely hydrated attire!

I, of course, am neither the creator of this video nor do I own any rights --- they belong solely to whoever they belong to. This is for wet saree lovers. And, oh, did I forget to mention, this is HD!  :)

Simple cotton sarees : Meghna Raj in Beautiful

The best sarees to wear at home in the Indian summer are without a doubt old cotton sarees, simple in design and soft to the touch. Meghna Raj's outfit in the Malayalam movie Beautiful provides a good example. Here she is wearing a yellow-orange cotton designless saree, and complements it with a darker blouse. Both saree and blouse look sufficiently worn. A perfect dress for at-home work, or for going outside in the monsoon rains. This particular orange set will change colour when wet, but this is not shown in the movie.




The following is a different outfit combination, with a white-maroon printed saree and vermillion-red blouse. The pictures below compare her (a) doing normal household work while completely dry, (b) with wet hair but dry outfit after having come in from the rain, and (c) fully wet, drenched in rain.
