Harvest
festival Pongal has set the stage
for a few big budget releases of the
kingpins of Kollywood. Vijay’s
Pokkiri, Ajith’s Alwar, and
Vishal’s Thamiraparani released
amidst huge fanfare in theatres across
Tamil Nadu. There were initial hiccups
in the release of Pokkiri when the
movie was not released in a few theatres
in Chennai.
Fans
resorted to stone pelting in display of their
anger and they gave it a rest when the movie was
screened little later.
Now that the hype is over with, it is time for
trade analysis and reports from all over. Trade
analysts predict from the initial reports that
are pouring in from Kerala that Pokkiri’s
performance in the state will outdo the collections
of Vijay’s previous hit Gilli in no time.
Sources also suggest that while Alwar has been
categorized as Ajith’s fan-only movie, Vishal’s
Thamiraparani stand a fat chance to have a say
at the box office. Stay tuned for updates on Pongal
releases.
