Massive box office clash on cards for Onam
Just like in the previous years, this time also the Onam season promises to offer a mouthwatering clash at the Kerala box office. Already four films are confirmed to hit screens during the festive season with more expected to be added in the coming days. ‘Brother’s Day’, ‘Ittymaani Made In China’ and ‘Love Action Drama’ are the three biggies that have real potential to emerge as the winner.
The long delayed Nivin Pauly-Nayanthara starrer ‘Love Action Drama’ (LAD) is easily one of the most awaited films of the year. Written and directed by Dhyan Sreenivasan, LAD promises to be a complete entertainer that appeals to a wide range of audience. The movie’s recently released teaser itself was highly promising and gives a clear idea about what to expect from it. Nivin and Nayanthara coming together for the first time is the biggest attraction of the film. Fans as well as common audience have pinned high hopes on LAD, which is expected to hit screens on September 5. Official announcement regarding the release date is yet to be made.
After the record-breaking success of ‘Lucifer’, Mohanlal is back with his next, ‘Ittymaani Made In China’. It is in stark contrast to his previous film as this one is conceived as a fun entertainer that is mainly aimed at the families who visit theatres in large numbers during this holiday season. Mohanlal appears in a dual role in the film, and his fun Chinese character is expected to be the film’s USP. Debutants Jibu and Joju are directing the film and is produced by the superstar’s own banner, Aashirvaad Cinemas. Though a formal announcement is yet to be made, it is reported that ‘Ittymaani’ will be having a grand release on September 6.
‘Brother’s Day’ is the other biggie in the Onam clash that is also eyeing a September 6 release. The movie which marks the directorial debut of Kalabhavan Shajohn has Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role. Aishwarya Lekshmi, Madonna Sebastian, Miya George and Prayaga Martin are the female leads while Tamil actor Prasanna will be seen as the villain. From the promos, it looks like ‘Brother’s Day’ will be a real crowd pleaser. It looks exactly like the kind of entertainer films that a commoner would love to watch.
Besides these films, Rajisha Vijayan’s sports drama ‘Finals’ and Dhanush starrer ‘Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta’ will also be competing at the Onam box office. Both the flicks are confirmed to hit screens on September 6. So, it is certain that we, the audience, are in for a real treat at the cinema halls next month.
