It's festive time for Malayalam films

It's festive time for Malayalam films As Keralites gear up to celebrate Onam and Eid in a few days, the film
industry is all set to join in the
celebrations. There have been no
major releases for some time now as
theatres in the Malabar area wore a
deserted look during Ramzan. Here is a look at forthcoming films
that will hit theatres next week. There
are more films to follow but their
release will depend on how these
movies fare at the box office. Pranayam Director: Blessy Cast: Mohanlal, Anupam Kher, Jayaprada Blessy's film is about a love triangle
involving a woman and two men.
And when the woman in question
happens to be the beautiful Jaya
Prada, well, the movie should be
worth all the hype. Anupam Kher is playing Achutha
Menon, and the actor has stated that
Pranayam is among the best seven
films that he has done in his career.
Now, when one of the finest actors in
the country, who has done more than 400 films, says so, the film should be
special.
Blessy and Mohanlal teamed up
earlier to make spectacular films like
Thanmathra and Bhramaram. Let's
hope Pranayam follows suit. Tejabhai & Family Director: Dipu Karunakaran Cast: Prithviraj, Akhila Prithviraj, who was mainly seen in
action roles during recent times, is all
set to make you laugh with his new
release, Tejabhai & Family. Written and
directed by Dipu Karunakaran, the
film has been shot in Thiruvananthapuram and Malaysia.
Prithviraj plays a don named Tejabhai
who virtually rules Malaysia. But he
has to hide his real identity and is
forced to appear in a different avatar,
after he is completely besotted by a beautiful girl named Vedika. The fun,
the twists and turns and all the spice
starts now. Sevenes Director: Joshiy Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Asif Ali, Nadia Moidu, Bhama, Rima Kallingal After the multi starrer Christian
Brothers, director Joshiy is ready with
Sevenes (yes, that's how it's spelt,
may be for numerological reasons),
which has football as the backdrop.
Nadia Moidu, who made a rather forgettable comeback in Malayalam
with Doubles recently, plays a cop. A
group of young stars including
Kunchacko Boban, Asif Ali, Nivin
Pauly, Rajith Menon, Kuttu, Vijeesh,
Amir, Bhama and Rima Kallingal play important roles.
The scenarist is Dr Iqbal Kuttippuram
and the cinematographer is Ajayan
Vincent. My Dear Kuttichathan 3D Director: Jijo My Dear Kuttichathan, which came out
in 1984, was the first 3D film in Indian
film history. It was a great success
and the film came out as Chotta
Chethan in Hindi and as Chutti
Chathan in Tamil with some changes. Now the film is all set to hit cinemas in
a new avatar. The best thing about
the film is its freshness, which remains
intact even so many years after it was
first released.
