Chennai: Totally seven movies are going to be released in Kollywood this Friday on October 16, it includes Rudhramadevi, Sivappu, Mayyam, Athiradi, Viraivil Isai, Thiraipada Nagaram, Marapaachi.
The total number of screens in Tamil Nadu is 1200 and out of which every Friday we get more number of releases which ultimately results in lack of screens. Last Friday it is reported that five movies were released in Kollywood. And this week things get worse with seven movies hitting screens.
Amidst these, Kollywood will also face some Hollywood dubbed movies or Telugu dubbed movies. So small budget movies face more trouble. Most of them even feel hard to get the returns. This week will have one big release. It is Anushka’s Rudhramadevi.
The rest of the movies are just like pop-up ads. ‘Sivappu’ under ‘Kazhugu’ fame Sathya Siva direction has some reputation as the movie features some known faces like Raj Kiran and Rupa Manjuri. The movie is all about Eela Tamizhargal. College students have worked and directed the movie titled ‘Mayyam’.
Mansoor Ali Khan’s ‘Athiradi’, Mahendran’s ‘Viraivil Isai’, ‘Thiraipada Nagaram’, ‘Marapaachi’ are the rest of the four movies which will release this week. The exact number of screen count is unknown and as Vijay’s ‘Puli’ is replaced in most of the screens, ‘Rudhramadevi’ is expected to get the maximum. Amidst these, Ram Charan’s ‘Bruce Lee’ will also release on a grand scale.
