This year Pongal will witness the release of three Tamil movies, Thaanaa Serndha Koottam, Sketch and Gulaebaghavali. It sure is going to be a fun-filled festive season for the film buffs this Pongal.

Tamil Nadu government has issued an order that allows the theatre owners to have an extra show on January 12, January 17 and 18. This means that a theatre could screen five shows a day on these three days. Since January 13, 14, 15 and 16 are already holidays, the exhibitors could have five shows for seven straight days.  

This would definitely give a major boost to the collections and also be of delight to the audience.
