Director AL Vijay is next helming a Tamil-Telugu bilingual film titled ‘October 31 Ladies Night’. It has Megha Akash, Nievtha Pethuraj, Manjima Mohan and Reba Monica John as the leads. Tollywood actor Viswak Sen is also there in a cameo role. The film is produced by M Rajasekhar and it is planned as a direct OTT release. An official announcement is expected soon.

‘October 31 Ladies Night’ is based on Halloween, and hence the title. For the uninformed, October 31 is when Halloween is celebrated. The plot is centred around a friends party and a prank that backfires. Director AL Vijay has previously helmed horror films like ‘Devi’, ‘Diya’ and ‘Devi 2’.

Meanwhile, his much-awaited film ‘Thalaivi’, the biopic on late Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa is expected to hit screens once the pandemic situation gets better. The film, which is also a Tamil-Hindi bilingual, was originally supposed to release by the last week of April.

‘Aarkkariyam’ starring Biju Menon, Parvathy and Sharafudheen is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Though the film had its theatrical release in April, it didn’t have a successful run mainly due to the pandemic. It is only after the OTT release that the film found its right audience. Some detailed analysis and interpretations about it can be seen on movie-discussion platforms.

Meanwhile, the film’s making video has been released online. It is a compilation of the various interesting moments that occurred on sets during shoot. Since the film was shot during the pandemic, all the crew members are seen wearing masks throughout. Director Sanu John Varughese can also be seen giving detailed instructions to his actors and extracting what he wants from them.

‘Aarkkariyam’ set in the post-pandemic world starts off as a regular family drama and turns into a murder-mystery. The film is minimal in its approach and moves at a leisurely pace. There is hardly any spoon-feeding and offers a space for various interpretations.

Since the film is streaming on Amazon Prime with subtitles, hardcore non-Malayali cinephiles are also loving it.
