DIWALI RELEASED MOVIES

Two weeks before Diwali (Oct 27), there is total confusion prevailing in the market. The trade is not sure which film will release for Diwali! The producers and distributors are not confirming any release date.
As of now, the two films that are sure to hit the screens are Ajit's Aegan and Bharath's Seval. Both the films are being marketed by Ayngaran International, who has also booked theatres for these films.
However Ayngaran is keeping the release date a secret, so that opposition (read Aascar Films Vaaranam Aayiram) is kept at bay. It looks like one of the Ayngaran films will release on Oct 24 Friday and the other on Monday Diwali day Oct 27. It ensures that both the films will not clash, and also take an opening.
Meanwhile the tussle over who will release Vaaranam Aayiram, between the producer and Gemini Picture Circuit (GPC) has been settled. GPC will release the film throughout Tamilnadu, while Aascar will release it in the rest of the world.
Now the trouble is GPC is finding it difficult to sell the film to distributors, as they are asking for a high price, and no theatre bookings has been made so far. The market buzz is that they have paid a whopping Rs 14 crore, to get the Tamilnadu rights of the film, twice the price at which Surya's last film Vel was sold in the state!
It looks like Prakash Raj is going to release his Abhiyum Naanum on his own. He has confirmed bookings for the film in Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai. The film is most likely to release on Oct 24. Prakash is confident that the film will be a winner and he will be able to make a profit from the multiplexes alone.
One time leading producer KRG is looking for buyers for his Guru En Aalu, which he is sure will release on Diwali day. Some people in the trade who were shown a few comedy scenes in the film featuring Maddy and Vivek, say it is a riot and Mamta is said to be looking more glamorous than Nayanthara!
The latest news in the market is that S.J Suryah and his producers are desperately trying to push their Newtonin 3am Vidhi as a Diwali release. But in an overcrowded Diwali market, there are simply no theatres available to screen a sixth film. Still S.J Suryah&Co are sure they will squeeze through, as they feel two of the other Diwali releases may not make it.

GURU EN AALU Preview


After remaking veteran director K Balachander's 'Nan Avan Illai', Selvah is ready with the remake of the recent Bollywood hit 'Yes Boss'.'Yes Boss', the original had Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla in the lead with Aditya Pancholi doing a supporting role.'Guru En Aalu' will mark KRG's 49th production - the producer returns to filmmaking after a five-year hiatus.

Says Selvah: 'It's a light-hearted comedy. Guru (Madhavan) is a young ambitious man who will do anything to keep his boss Krishna (Abbas) happy. Guru aspires to start his own advertising agency as promised by his boss and everything goes awry till he meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl.

His boss also lays his eyes on the same girl, a model named Seema (Mamtha) and desires to add her to his list of mistresses.Seema, a middle-class hostelite, has dreams of making it to the top of the glamorous world of fashion. While Guru begins to love Seema, she naively gets taken in by Krishna's smooth talk and is drawn towards him.

'Guru's dilemma is that he has to keep his boss happy to fulfill his ambition and yet he is aware that his beloved is being conned into a false relationship', Selvah says.
