Thank God it’s Friday |

It’s Friday again and my job is
getting more and more interesting with
as much as five new movies hitting the
screens in Chennai. Two each from English
and Hindi; and one from Tamil.
The happiest thing is that, all these
five movies are from different genre
- a good sign as the audience have a
wide variety to choose from. Of course,
the release of these five movies does
affect the box-office potential of others
in some way or the other.

Last
week, Veerappu and Partner slowly managed to find
acceptance among the movie-goers, but Thee Nagar
missed the mark. This week, director P. Vasu is
all set to launch his son Shakthi with Thotaal Poomalarum.
The movie is made to showcase the talents of his
son and has come out very well. Thotaal Poomalarum
is not expected to create any havoc in the theatres
but good word of mouth can help the movie in a big
way.
There are two animated movies imported from Hollywood
to woo the children. After Madagascar, the Penguin
craze started to spread, which reflected in the
superb reception of ‘March of the Penguin’
- a documentary - and Happy Feet. Both were not
just a box-office hit but also won an Oscar each.
Now the penguins are back with Sony Pictures Surfs
Up and this time around the penguins will be surfing.
The movie is released in India after a month’s
gap from its US premiere.
The next movie is The Simpsons which is the filmy
version of the most loved television series. The
series was such a huge hit that it was named the
best series of the twentieth century. Bart and company
are ready to keep you in splits of laughter for
two hours. Entertainment guaranteed.
In Hindi the much awaited Cash will be out at last.
This action-thriller, directed by Anubhav Sinha,
is said to have some amazing stunts and intelligent
heists. The movie is a multi-starrer with Ajay Devgan
and Suniel Shetty leading the group. The music has
come out very well and is the favorite in any disco
parlor.
Behindwoods’s Pick of the Week
The pick of the week is none other than the most
controversial “Gandhi: My Father”, the
film version of a hit drama Mahatma versus Gandhi
by Feroze Khan. Incidentally he has directed the
film too. The movie is produced by actor Anil Kapoor
with Akshaye Khanna playing the protagonist Harilal,
son of Gandhi.
The movie is about the sour relationship between
Mahatma Gandhi and his eldest son Harilal. Gandhi:
My Father has generated enough hype to get a good
opening and the multiplex audience is sure to lap
up this masterpiece which is being acclaimed all
over the world. The movie also said to have evinced
the interest of Will Smith, the popular Hollywood
hero, as he has expressed his desire to see the
movie; such is the reach for this movie.
