Having had a decent 2010, Kollywood is all
set to raise the bar in 2011. And what better
way to start the year than the festive occasion
of Pongal. If we have a look at this year's
Pongal releases, it is certainly disappointing
to see no big stars involved in the releases
but otherwise the mix of movies sound quite
promising.
• There were four movies lined up for
this Pongal but it is increasingly looking
like we would have only three releases.
• Karthi-starrer Siruthai and Dhanush-starrer
Aadukalam will release on the 14th of this
month. While Siruthai is a remake of a Telugu
movie and is a mass entertainer, Aadukalam
is based on a real incident that happened
in Madurai in the 1970s.
• Pa. Vijay's Ilaignan is slated for
a Jan 15 release. The genre of this movie
is different from the other two as Ilaignan
is a period movie which is set in the backdrop
of the late 1950s.
• Kavalan was supposed to be released
alongside Siruthai and Aadukalam on the 14th,
but has been dropped due to unforseen circumstances.
But all is not lost as the producers are doing
their best to release the movie on the 15th
atleast. So will it be Vijay vs Vijay duel
on the 15th?
