Diwali dhamaka

Will the Diwali of 2009 bring some cheer to Kollywood? The eagerly anticipated head-on clash between Suriya���������������������������s Aadhavan and Vijay���������������������������s Vettaikaran has been avoided, with the latter exiting from the race.
There are going to be only three Tamil releases for this Diwali falling on October 17 and they are Aadhavan, Peraanmai and Jaganmohini.Among the lot, Suriya���������������������������s Udayanidhi Stalin produced KS Ravikumar directed Aadhavan has the clear edge as the best of theatres in Tamil Nadu have been booked for the film which is likely to open in nearly 250 to 300 screens on October 16, making it the widest ever release.
Aadhavan has everything going for it. It has one of the industry���������������������������s top stars Suriya paired with the glamorous Nayanthara for the first time. Also, it has foot tapping music by Harris Jayaraj. Hasili Fisiliye.., the hit song from the film is the most popular ring tone on mobiles. The film has been directed by hit maker KS Ravikumar, the man with the Midas touch, and is said to be a family entertainer laced with action and comedy. It is the only film releasing for Diwali which has been sold out in all areas at high prices. The marketing skills of its producer will ensure a gigantic opening for the film worldwide.
Peraanmai is Jayam Ravi���������������������������s costliest production and he has gone for a total image change in the film. Ravi, who had a romantic chocolate boy hero image, is turning into a ���������������������������Rambo��������������������������� like action hero. He has done risky action scenes like running on top of trees that are 60 feet high in the dense forests of Kerala. There are five new girls Dhansika, Maha, Liasri, Saranya and Vasundhara who play NCC cadets in the film. Ravi plays a tribal forest guard who trains these cadets. He also takes on Roland Kickinger, the Terminator 4 Hollywood action star who plays the villain in the film. The movie has been directed by SP Jananathan, who has made decent entertainers like Iyarkai and E. Peraanmai is said to be an action-packed entertainer which has music by Vidyasagar.
Jaganmohini, a film on witchcraft with terrific graphics and special effects is also confirmed to release for Diwali. ������������������It is Namitha���������������������������s eagerly awaited comeback venture on which she is betting big. The film has been directed by veteran cameraman NK Viswanathan. A remake of yesteryear Jaganmohini starring Jayamalini, the modern version with Namitha will have state-of-the-art special effects and graphics. The music of Ilayaraja is another highlight of the film. The makers of the film feel it will work big time in B & C markets, as Anushka���������������������������s Arundathi, which had a similar formula, worked wonders.
Concludes Abirami Ramanathan, ���������������������������Aadhavan, Peraanmai and Jaganmohini are basically action entertainers ideal for the festival season and are sure to create fireworks at the box office. It will be a cracker of a Diwali.���������������������������
