It is a tradition
that films are generally
released on Fridays.
In the West, it is
hoped that the ensuing
weekend will motivate
the viewers to go
to the theaters to
watch while in India,
Fridays are considered
auspicious. Anyhow,
Friday sentiment has
stuck firmly. There
is of course an exception
for festival days
like Pongal, Deepavali
and Tamil New Year.
However, there is
a departure from this
trend when films do
not release on Fridays
but on Saturdays.
For example, Sathyaraj
who does not believe
in sentiments, got
his film Englishkaran
released on Saturday
last as also Bharat’s
February 14.
Besides, Thennavan
and Ayulregai
were also released
that day. However,
Madhavan’s Priyasakhi
and Kalaiyadha
Ninaivugal were
released on Friday.
Let us wait and watch
the fate of these
films.
