Panthayam, starring Nitin Sathya, Sindhu Tolaani and Prakashraj, is directed by S.A. Chandrasekar. The movie is a Vijay Anthony musical.

'Kadhal Theeviravadhi' is in Vinaya and Jaydev's voices. Slow-paced, gentle and melodic, the song brings about a profound effect on the listeners.

'Lusimbara' in Christopher and Ramya's voices is an exotic number. Starting from its lingo to its tune, the song is different.

Much like old habits, it seems classic tunes too die hard. 'Surangani', a remix in Maya, Megha and Balaji's voices, validates the above theory and the song should become a chart- topper.

'Ammane' cannot be positioned into a particular category. In fact, the song comprises little bits of different styles; the resulting song is truly refreshing and enjoyable. Belly Raj, Nitesh Gopalan and Vinitha beautifully render this extraordinary composition.

Vinaya, Shobha Chandrasekar and Christopher Balaji form the chorus band in 'Chinna Maamiye'. Striking music, hip-hop rhythm and fitting lyrics are the song's highlights.

All the five gems from Vijay Anthony for Panthayam are indeed endearing.

A clever mix of positioning and packaging with the added flavour of superstars can bring in the crowds this festive season..

The Diwali season is hardly a month away and the industry is pinning its hopes on Ajit’s Aegan and Surya’s Vaaranam Aayiram, to brighten the festival of lights. So far, 2008 has turned out to be a miserable year for the biggies with mega-movies like Kuselan and Sathyam bombing at the box-office, while small films like Subramaniapuram and Saroja, made money. Now, there is tremendous pressure on “superstarfilms” to perform. A leading distributor said, “The global meltdown has had its effect on Kollywood. The Diwali films have to be mega-hits only then will distributors and theatres come forward to buy Pongal releases like Kandasamy, Villu and Ayan.

As of now, Aegan, Vaaranam Aayiram and Sevel are the likely big Diwali releases. It’s an even battle as Ajith is considered by the trade to have the best opening after Rajinikanth in Tamil cinema. At the same time, Surya-Gautham Menon-Harris Jayaraj are a deadly trio, who can bring in the family and the youth audiences. Director Hari is the darling of the B & C viewers and with Bharath turning into an angry young man in Seval, there will be fireworks this Diwali.

Everything depends on the kind of marketing by the producers of these films and that’s quite simple. Traditionally, it is also a part of the custom to watch a film during Diwali and the public likes a superstar film. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan had some of their biggest hits released during Diwali. Both stars had turned mediocre films into hits during Diwali.

In any form of cricket whether it is Test match, one-dayers or the latest T-20, it is the openers, who lay the foundation for a win. Similarly, in today’s commercial cinema if a star has a good opening and if the price of the film is reasonable, you have a winner. In other words, a good opening ensures safety cover for the producers. Ajith has a loyal and strong fan base, which will ensure the film opens big, but after the first weekend, it depends purely on word-of- mouth. Surya has a fledging fan base, but his following among the lady audiences is a plus.

Today, all big films invariably open with a large number of prints and in digital format. If the star commands an opening he should be able to get between 90 to 100 percent collections in the first three days of the film's release, which normally works out to 30 to 35 percent of the film’s cost. Let us hope the Diwali films open big and give the superstars the badly needed hit!

Diwali- 2008 is hardly a month away, but the trade is unsure of what
film will release for the festival of lights. A few weeks back the
producers of Aegan, Abhiyum Njaanum, Guru Enn Aalu, Njaan Kadavul,
Seval, Silambattam, Vaaranam Aayiram, confirmed that they are
targeting a Diwali release.

But as of now (Sep 26), only Ayngaran International has confirmed
booking for Ajit's Aegan and Bharath's Seval with theatres across the
world. KRG producer of Guru Enn Aalu has said that he will be
confirming the theatres by Monday, after the film's audio launch.

It looks almost certain that Njaan Kadavul will not make it for
Diwali as negotiations between Zee TV, Pyramid Saimira the original
producers and producer director Bala is yet to reach the final
settlement.

Abhiyum Njaanum has got confirmed booking only at Sathyam Cinemas
(maximum two shows in small screen) and Inox, while in rest of
Tamilnadu nobody has dates for the film!

The producers of Silambattam are yet to confirm a Diwali release
though Simbu is pressing them to release the film on his lucky date.
The biggest setback has been for Vaaranam Aayiram, as producer Aascar
Ravichandran and the film's Tamilnadu distributor Gemni Film Circuit,
are yet to sort out their differences.

Meanwhile Ayngaran has got all the prime screens in Tamilnadu and
overseas to screen their Aegan and Seval for Diwali. For example
Sathyam Cinemas big screen has signed up to screen Aegan four shows,
and the smaller Shantham will screen two shows of Seval for Diwali.
In smaller stations too both these films have got prime theatres.

Theatres across the world are willing to roll out the red carpet for
Ayngaran International, as they have Rajinikanth' s Enthiren and
Vijay's Villu and half a dozen other films lined up for next year!
