Diwali-2008 will go down in Kollywood history books as a Diwali with the least number of releases.
During this year’s festival of lights only two star films Aegan, Seval and a film with newcomers Megham are releasing. Normally anywhere between four to six films get released during this season including many big ticket films.
Remember last year (2007), when six star films- Azhagiya Tamil Magan, Agra, Kannammoochi Yaenada, Machakaran, Polladhavan, Vel clashed at the box-office? There was a competitive spirit which added to the fan frenzy. Competition brings the best out of a star, and his true star value can be gauged.
There is no buzz as an Ajith versus Bharath clash at the box-office is an uneven battle, not at all exciting to the fans. If Surya’s Vaaranam Aayiram was there it would have been a battle royale.
As expected Aegan advance booking has been good in Chennai city, where it opens on Saturday, while overseas it is opening on Friday.
Meanwhile Seval has a good buzz around it. The film's overseas release has also been advanced to Saturday, to get the weekend business, while in TN it is releasing only on Diwali day.
Anyway, 2008 is not going to be a cracker of a Diwali!
