Onam release schedule

The films which were planned months earlier for the Onam festival has suddenly found turmoil regarding the release dates. As the theatres in the state are waiting eagerly for the biggest grosser of the year, the distributors suddenly is going through different notions about releasing the films later than original schedules.

Mammootty's 'Bhargavacharitham Moonam Khandam' which was scheduled for release on August 18 has now been postponed to Aug 24.

Mohanlal's 'Mahasamudram' which was supposed to open on August 25 has also been postponed to August 31, also due to the better fare of 'Kirtichakra' in the box office. Mohanlal may shoot one more song to be added in 'Mahasamudram'.

Meanwhile Dileep's 'Don' is being speeded up though one more song has to be picturised, but the star is confident that the film will hit the theatres on Onam day (Sep 5).

The film is one of the ventures which tried a live editing setup while shooting.

Suresh Gopi's 'Pathaaka' which has long history of change in release dates is yet to find theatres and no definite dates have come out either... Lal Jose's 'Classmates', which was one predicted to arrive earlier will now get a release on Sep 1.

Jayaram's 'Moonnamathoraal' may find it tough, if it comes out this week into the theatres.

And to put more pressure on Malayalam films, Suriya's 'Sillunu Oru Kadhal' on Sep 1, which will definitely cater best to a part of the audience who finds the present day Tamil thrillers more appealing than the Mallu flicks.

The films which are already in theatres except 'Kirtichakra' is finding the going tough as premature rains also hit the state, preventing masses to arrive.

Flicks like 'Kalabham', 'Chacko Randaaman' and 'Red Salute' may leave the theatres by the arrival of biggies for Onam.
