Cast:Narain, Prasanna, Vijayalakshmi
Direction: Mysskin
Music: Sundar C Babu
Production: V. Hitesh Jhabak
It is as if Mysskin knows everything associated with the nuances of movie making without having to burn a huge hole in the
director’s wallet. The movie is three hours long but who’s complaining?
Trade Talk:
No regrets for the producers and distributors and the movie has already garnered more than what is invested.
Public Talk:
Ajmal - count on him.

Sandai
Cast: Sundar C, Ragini, Nadiya, Vivek, Namitha
Direction: Shakthi Chidambaram
Music: Dhina
Production: Radha Shakthi Chidambaram
Sundar has already been successful in detecting the pulse of his fans. With two decent hits (Thalainagaram and Veerappu)
already added to his profile, Sandai is swiftly on its way to being called a hit.
Trade Talk:
Collections remain upbeat in the C centers for Sundar C’s formula fare.
Public Talk:
A clan of Sundar C fans are in the making.

Thozha is still clinging on to the list despite having been given thumbs down by critics and fans alike for the old wine-in-a-new-
bottle content.
Trade Talk:
Thozha is showing signs of settling to the average league.

Cast: SSR Pankaj Kumar, Thejamai

With a whole bunch of unfamiliar faces and debutants, the suggestive Madurai Ponnu Chennai Payan is a love story - without
anything interesting or new to offer.
Trade Talk:
Below average collections registered over the weekend.

Cast: Natraj, Jayasurya, Daisy Bopanna
Direction: Udhayabanu Maheswaran
Music: Karthik Raja
Production: Shree Ashtvainayak Cine Vision Ltd
Chakraviyugam was in the news recently when heroine Daisy Bopanna alleged that the crew had behaved unprofessionally. That
apart, the movie, touted to be a thriller also has Naalai Nattu and Jayasurya playing significant roles.
Trade Talk:
Average opening.

Cast: Bharath, Meera Jasmine, Prem

Production: Rama Saravanan
Bharath’s Nepali has nothing new to offer, save for his few makeovers. However, the actor has convincingly carried off the
multiple roles entrusted upon him with ease.
Trade Talk:
No momentum registered in collections.

Slowing down.

Cast: Prakashraj, Santhanam, Ganja Karuppu, Jyothirmayi, MadhumithaDirection: Simbhudevan
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: ‘S’ Pictures
The hyped Simbhudevan directed Arai En has not provided enough fodder for the public to rave about. Maybe we are yet to be
taken in by the idea of God speaking English and using gizmos to run his show.
Trade Talk:
Collections are plummeting, and the movie’s stand at the box office is now to be decided solely by its multiplex audience.
Public Talk:
Sermonizing and hence uninteresting

Cast: Dhanush, Nayantara, Raguvaran, Karthick
Direction: Jawahar
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Production: R.K. Productions
Stiff competition from other biggies has not fatigued the Jawahar directed Yaaradi Nee Mohini. The movie has a horde of actors
and an engaging storyline that, at first, did well in the B and C centers, but is now picking up at the A centers as well, proving
that it can entertain all sections of the audience.
Trade Talk:
Going steady!
Public Talk:
Isn’t Dhanush considering Nayan again for his next project?

Direction: Raja
Music: Devi Sri Prasad
Production: AGS Entertainment Pvt Ltd
Santosh has brought the Telugu blockbuster ‘Bommirillu’ to Tamil and the movie sure is working its magic among the family
audience. Genilia gets a fresh leash of life (read career) in Tamil while Jeyam Ravi and director Raja prove that their in-house
projects are sure to mark their presence at the box office.
Trade Talk:
Decent word of mouth is bringing in more crowds, thereby increasing the cash flow.
Public Talk:
Summer family bonanza.

Verdict: Hit
Cast: Vijay, Trisha, Suman, Vivek, Manivannan, Malavika, Ashish Vidyarthi
Direction: Dharani
Music: Vidyasagar
Production: Udhayanidhi Stalin
Vijay’s summer bonanza with Dharani (whose earlier credits include the blockbuster Ghilli) hit the screens to mixed response.
Vijay’s ‘Transporter’ act, his chemistry with Trisha, and Vidyasagar’s music are pluses. But what is it with the image building
scenes that eats out most of the film?
Trade Talk:
Kuruvi opened on Saturday to full houses and its sustainability at the box office can only be decided after a week.
Public Talk:
It is Vijay all the way!
