In the first 6 months of the year, 55 original Tamil films have been released. Apart from 'Anjandhey,' 'Yaradi Nee Mohini' and 'Santosh Subramaniam,' other films did not get great profits for all concerned. Even though 'Dasavataram' is running well, we will know only after 50 days about how much profit has been made.
Compared to last year, success of medium budget films this year is less. Today, 2 medium budget films have been released; the third 'Uliyin Osai' is a big budget film.
It is the first film for 'Subramaniapuram' M Sasikumar. Since no one was ready to come forward to produce this story, he decided to do it himself. Since it takes place in the 1080s, the locations, clothes etc are of that time frame. A film released without mega stars yet doing well, is a healthy trend for Tamil cinema.
'Muniyandi Vilangiyal Moonram Aandu' is second film for Thirumurugan. Since 'Em Magan' was a non-nonsense film, there is lot of expectations for 'Muniyandi..' Featuring Bharath and Poorna, Vadivelu has an important role. Music is by Vidyasagar.
When everyone seems to be gravitating towards the city, 'Muniyandi…' tells the story of a college in a rural area. It is important for such a film to do well in this time frame!
