Moondram Pirai = 3rd birth?
I am not so sure - if its 3rd birth it should be "piravi" not "pirai" , but then my tamil is not very good !
I think Pirai has to do with the moon - the Third quarter of the Moon

This is the phase when the moon is half-lit
http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/ ... moon3.html After first quarter, the Moon would be a waxing gibbous, and continue growing until it reached full. The Moon would then begin to shrink, becoming first a waning gibbous and eventually reaching third quarter. Following third quarter it becomes a waning crescent, and continues to shrink until it becomes invisible at new Moon.And i think in the movies context it probably denotes "Kamal/SriDevi relationship" , something that is equally shared but leading towards a doomed outcome ( the moon vanishes and so does their relationship)
Very interesting analysis. People also relate madness with fullmoon, since Sridevi had amnesia (and to some extent its kid of "mad"), may be it is called 3rd pirai. - WOW I am doing good here.
If its a new movie of current generation, Kamal must have met Sridevi on 3rd lunar night and probably Sridevi also left him on the same 3rd lunar night and thus the name.
