The Meter Gauge EMU service between Tambaram and Beach (Chennai) began operations in 1931. This was part of the Chennai suburban railway network's early development, connecting the southern suburb of Tambaram with Chennai Beach station in the city center. Meter gauge was the standard narrow gauge used in Indian railways at that time.

The last Meter Gauge EMU service between Tambaram and Egmore was operated in 2004. This marked the end of the meter gauge era on this route, as Indian railways began converting meter gauge lines to broad gauge (5'6") as part of Project Unigauge. The conversion improved speed, capacity, and connectivity with the broader railway network.

Tambaram, a suburb of Chennai, was upgraded from a town panchayat to a municipality in 1964 as part of Tamil Nadu's urban development efforts. This administrative change reflected Tambaram's growing population and importance as a residential area.

Vadivelu played the role of a goldsmith (designer) in the film 'Porkalam'. The other options (merchant, lawyer) are not the character he portrayed in this movie.

The Tamil film 'Ethir Kaatru' was released in 1990. It was directed by P. Vasu and starred Sivakumar and Bhanupriya. The other options (1994, 1996, 1988) are not the correct release year.

The phrase 'ila veni ithu vaikasi' is a line from the song 'Kadhal Rojave' (covered as 'Kadhal Rojave' in the options), which is from the Tamil film Roja (1992) with music by A.R. Rahman. This was Rahman's debut film and the song became highly popular. Puthiya Mugam, Kadhal Virus, and Bandham are other Tamil films but not the source of this lyric.

The Tamil film Roja (1992) was produced by Kaja Moideen. This film marked the debut of music composer A.R. Rahman and director Mani Ratnam's collaboration in Tamil cinema. Ravichandran, Siva Prasad Reddy, and Krishna Ramana are producers in other Tamil films but not associated with Roja.
