Sinu & Saumesh
Retirement Benefits
Drishyam starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph has
emerged as the clear winner among Christmas releases and is also touted to
become the highest grosser of the year. Stars from other languages including
Vijay and Vikram has seen the movie and is reportedly bowled over by it. A
Tamil remake with Vikram as the lead is planned and Mohanlal's brother-in-law,
Suresh Balaji, has bought the rights for the movie already. The buzz is that
Jeethu will return as the director for the Tamil version and he also might helm
a Hindi remake if at all it gets made. Aging stars in Hindi think of it, you’ve
a hit in hand.
Retirement Benefits
Ever since Uday Chopra announced his retirement plans after
Dhoom 3. He made more news than the promotion of the film itself. The twitterati
went on an overdrive with funny comments around it. Good decision, if not for
him, we need a break from his movies. This week he made news with his
itsy-bitsy post on twitter with Nargis Fakhri. Don’t ask who?
Box office
war – Reloaded
It's Deja Vu time in Tollywood,
or sort of. The upcoming box office clash between Mahesh Babu's 1-Nenokkadine
and Ramcharan Teja's Yevadu reminds one of the similar clash between the stars'
movies, Seethama Vakilto Sirimalle Chettu and Naayak last Sankranti season.
Both the movies did well commercially last year. It has to be seen what will be
the fate of the releases this season. Will the sense of deja vu not run the
full course with any movie failing to make it big?
Finally
marriage knocks at John’s door
Whether pre-planned or not, John Abraham’s marriage to Priya
Runchal investment banker and financial analyst made news this week. It took
some time for John to be open about his relationship after his break-up with
Bipasha Basu. After a decade of acting John Abraham is the flavour of season, not
because he has done path breaking work in acting, but as an outsider he
produced path breaking movies. J.A. Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. next Hindi film is
titled ‘Banana’ after critical
acclaimed Vicky Donor & Madras Café.

Clash of the Titans
With two major movies planned for Pongal, Jilla and Veeram,
the former starring Vijay and the latter Ajith, Tamil movie goers and theatre
owners are facing tough choices. But from the look of the movie promotions
online, Jilla is definitely the front runner with its 14 seconds trailer
getting more than a million views in few days while Veeram lags far behind with
less than one lakh views on its official site.
Blair Witch comes
to Sandalwood
The found footage genre Kannada movie "6 - 5 = 2" written
and directed by newcomer KS Ashoka, made news for more reasons than one. This
horror flick revolves around a fatal trek accident, in which three people die
and two trekkers disappear. Only one trekker manages to return home. Produced
at a shoestring budget of ₹20 lakh, this movie collected ₹2 crore at the Box
Office in four weeks. Other language remakes, anyone?
