On December 4, another Tamil film is making a big release here in Kerala. It is the film named Urumeen directed by newcomer named Sakhtivel Permalsamy. But the film had created anticipation to of a higher level because of one factor. It is a Bobby Sinha starrer film and he is so much popular in Kerala with his villain role in Alphonse Puthren- Nivin Pauly team’s film Neram released in 2013 and also for his cameo in Nivin Pauly-Vineeth Sreenivasan starrer film Oru Vdakkan Selfie which released this year. His Tamil films like Soodhu Kavvum with Vijay Sethupathy and Jigarthanda with Sidharth is also very popular here and for the character in Jigarthanda he had won national recognition as well last year.
Urumeen is in news for some other reason as well because the hero Bobby Sinha had engaged to the heroine of this film, Reshmi Menon even before the release as they both fell in love and all set for a love cum arranged marriage in 2016 January. Sun Ads and Film Production Company is distributing the film here in Kerala. But the biggest challenge the film is going to face here in Kerala will be the box office jinx that had affected almost all the Tamil films released here in Kerala this year. Mass, Puli, Vedalam and many other big films ate dust at Kerala Box office this year and the question is that will Urumeen overcome that jinx or not..?
Urumeen had raised great expectation among the audience with its fantastic trailer and people had already anticipating a super thriller from the team behind the film. Suriya’s Mass, Vijay’s Puli etc had failures even in Tamil Nadu as well and on the other hand Ajith’s Vedalam had made good box office collection from Tamil Nadu.
The plus point Urumeen has than all other previously mentioned films is that it does not have that unnecessary hype around it and only have the hope of being a good entertainer from the national award winning actor. That can work in favor of Urumeen big time as well. We saw that in the case of films like Thani Oruvan which gained a good mouth publicity and decent collection from here.
