| Timiru
and Aran open big at box office!! |
|
|
|
Two
films have released at the box office
this weekend. Vishal starrer Timiru
and Mohanlal, Jeeva starrer Aran are
the films that are facing off. These
movies now join last weeks release
Unakkum Enakkum which has been steadily
garnering very positive reviews since
its release last Friday. The competition
at the box office is heating up and
the winner will be decided in the
coming days. |
|
| Timiru:
A complete entertainer |
|
Both
the releases carried very positive
pre-release reports and it remains
to be seen whether the movies
live upto the expectations.
Vishal who is eyeing a hat-trick
of victories has chosen to go
in for the tried and tested
formula movie which has stunning
fights, peppy songs, strong
dialogues, comedy by Vadivelu,
three leading ladies to provide
enough glamour and all other
ingredients of a commercial.
The movie has been directed
by debutant Tarun Gopi. The
movie was expected to take a
good opening and it did more
than that with almost all the
shows in the city running packed.
|
|
|
Advanced
booking too is happening very
briskly. The movie released
in the city at Sangam complex,
Sathyam Cineplex, Udhayam complex
and other single screens. All
centers carried positive reports.
The news is that the movie has
taken a bumper opening in Southern
Tamil Nadu and other rural areas
where Vishal’s Sandakkozhi
had seen success. Just 3 movies
old, Vishal seems to have already
captured the imagination of
the audience.

|
|
| Aran:
A different attempt |
|
Meanwhile
Aran opened in the city at Sathyam
Cineplex, Sangam complex and
Abhirami complex and met with
quite a good response. The movie
handles a very different theme,
about the life and struggles
of army officers during the
Kargil war. The movie was shot
in the very dangerous premises
of Kashmir and the results of
the effort reportedly reflect
well on screen. The movie reportedly
looks very life like in it’s
depiction of army life and this
may be due to the fact that
the movie was directed by an
ex-serviceman, Major Ravi.

Though
the movie did quite well in
the city it is yet to really
pick up in the smaller centers
and rural areas. This was expected
because the movie is not the
regular action movie and has
minimal commercial ingredients.
Critics have given very positive
reviews and only time will tell
whether this will convert into
box office results. After Dishyoom’s
moderate run Jeeva needs this
one to click at the box office.
Also veteran Malayalam actor
Mohanlal is testing the waters
in Tamil after a long time.
His last movie in Tamil was
PopCorn with Simran.
|
|
|
|
| It
had failed at the box office miserably.
Aran has released simultaneously in
Malayalam as Keerthi Chakra where it
received a good opening. |
|
| The
race to come first |
| The
release of both these movies has given
competition to Unakkum Enakkum that
was working its way towards being a
hit. Though all three movies look good
only one of them will emerge at the
top. Which is the one? Wait and watch. |
