Diwali Dhamaka Billa And Chandramuki on TV

On Diwali day (Oct 27), it is fireworks on the small screen.

A big clash is taking place as market leader Sun TV is premiering the Rajinikanth blockbuster Chandramukhi (2005), 42 months after its theatrical release.

The same day, almost same time arch rival Kalaignar TV is premiering Ajit’s Billa (2007), 10 months after its release!

It is battle royal on television, as Chandramukhi is an all time favourite family film and stars Rajinikanth, the superstar of Tamil cinema. It is sure to garner record TRP’s, though skeptics say the film has already been shown in Telugu on Gemini TV and in Hindi on ZEE TV. Meanwhile Jaya TV is showing Kamal Hassan’s Mumbai Xpress for Diwali

Ajit’s Billa is the actor’s most successful film in his career and was a super hit. It is comparatively fresh as the film had its theatrical release in December 2007. The young viewers at home will root for this stylish film, which also has the famous Nayanthara bikini act!

In a way it is Nayan versus Nayan on television, as she is the Chandramukhi heroine, while on Diwali big screen she will call the shots with Aegan!
