Once again it will be a low key Onam (Aug 23) for Malayalam film industry.
Onam is coming in a period of Noyambu (Ramzan fasting period), and the trade normally does not release big films.
45 percent of the Kerala box-office collections come from Malabar area of the state, and its risky to release a big film during this period. So there will not be any M & M biggies this Onam.
As of now, three small films Vinayan’s Yakshiyum Njanum and Rajiv Anchal’s Paatinte Palazhi and Sreenivasan’s Athmakadha are scheduled to release on August 20 and 21.
The producers and distributors of these films have started booking theatres in Kerala.
Yakshiyum Njanum has newcomers in the lead- Gowtham, Shyam, Meghna Nair and late actor Rajan P. Dev’s son Jubin Raj is debuting as the villain. Sajan Madhav, son of late music director Raveendran Master, has also made his debut as a music director with some haunting numbers.
Paatinte Palazhi is directed by Rajiv Anchal and is a musical with Meera Jasmine playing a singer in the lead. In the supporting cast are Manoj K Jayan, Revathy, Nedumudi Venu and Jagathy. The film has a new music director Suresh Manimala who has composed nine songs sung by famous artists like Hariharan, Ustad Faiyas Khan, Chitra and Vijay Yesudas.
Athmakadha is said to be an off-beat film directed by Premlal, a former associate of Blessy and has Sreenivasan and Sharbani Mukherjee in the lead. Jagathy, Kochu Preman and Sreelatha are in the supporting cast. It has music by Alphonse.
