Well Bollywood this week sees the release of Amitabh Bachchan's Paa & Himesh Reshammiya's Radio.While Paa has been in the news ever since it was known that Amitabh plays the 13 year old son of Abhishek who is suffering from Progeria, Radio has also been in the news for Himesh's music, his " new " voice and the fact that the producer has already recovered his money.
My take- Paa is carrying good reports,should find acceptance with the multiplex junta,but may not be a mass hit.Nevertheless at a budget of around 15 crores,it should make money. Radio may prove to be a surprise and just about do well- keep watching this space.
Tamil cinema might see Renigunta and Edhuvum Nadakkum releasing along with Vettatam.Edhuvum Nadakkum is an experimental thriller with Karthik Kumar and Aparna Pillai, Renigunta a hard hitting realistic tale on child criminals and Vettatam a rural tale.Cant say much about these films, except that Renigunta has some buzz as it was earlier refused a censor certificate due to some objectionable portions.
Malayalam cinema- Mammootty's Paleri Manikyam directed by Renjith was to release today ( 3rd Dec ) but its release seems to have been put on hold due to a stay order by a court due to some payment issues.Probably Gulumaal may release tomorrow.With Jayasurya and Kunchako Boban in it,the movie is supposed to be a fun outing.Lets see if the audience finds it entertaining enough.Telugu cinema- Amaravathi - a thriller with Bhumika & Sneha released today and lined up for tomorrow is Sarrai Veerraju and Pravarakhydu.
Nothing interesting on the English movie scene though.The movies releasing are New In Town and Ghost of Girlfriend's Past.No expectations from both of them.
Among the earlier releases- 2012 continues to do well across the country and entering its 2nd week is Ninja Assassin.Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is still hanging on- a big hit indeed and De Dana Dan has done better than expected.Pazhassi Raja is still holding on in Kerala and a few other places like Chennai.Arya 2 ( Telugu ) had a very good opening week as expected- lets see if the negative feedback affects the 2nd week majorly as is expected.
Will be back soon with whats up for the next week, keep watching this space.
