Roja-Movie-Courtallam Falls

#ashokasays Did you know 259:

We watch so many movies and some beautiful Indian locations are shown in them. But we tend to either ignore or forget the amazing places. Let me try in the next few days to let you know or remind you about these amazing locations.
Who can forget "Chinna Chinna aasai" or "Dil Hai Chotasa" song from Roja where Madhoo goes around the village and to the waterfall. The village shot in Roja seems so gorgeous and rustic that we actually feel like living there, running through the fields and bathing in those waterfalls. This part of the movie was filmed in Courtallam or Kutralam, which is actually a tourist place now famous for those waterfalls.

Courtallam is famous for its Courtallam Falls in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu in Tirunelveli District. Though the falls are located in Tamil Nadu, it also shares the boundary of Kollam district of Kerala State. Also known as Kuttralam Falls, it has gained an extreme popularity, since the water here is believed to have great curative properties for a number of skin problems and even nerve disorders, as they run through a forest of herbs.  The town is famous for its pleasant climate and abundant natural beauty. There are nine places at Courtallam where the River Chittar cascades over 92 m., at varying volumes. The falls are at its best during the rainy season (July to late August) and one can see heavy flow in all the places during this time.
The Green fields around Courtallam Town just fills your eyes with freshness and surely you can go along singing "Chinna Chinna aasai"

Go visit the waterfall and you can sing possibly one of your favorite songs..
INCREDIBLE BHARATHA
