Another Friday and am back with as much as 10 movies - five Tamil, two Hindi and three Hollywood flicks. As I have my hands full, let’s go straightaway to the subject.

First in the race is the Ranjith-Vivek-starrer Pasupathy m/p Rasakkapallayam. This movie is a family drama with a sprinkling of comedy. Vivek was very upbeat about the project but the early reviews are clearly not in favor of the movie.

Moreover, lack of marketing could also play an important role in the poor turnout. Second in the line is Sringaram, a movie which is seeing the light after many months. It is worth mentioning here that this film has clinched three national awards and two state awards. Sringaram is about the Dasi culture and is targeted at the elite audience. Once again, lack of marketing could play spoilsport in this movie’s success. The third one is the Bollywood entry GO. This Ram Gopal Verma’s flick has also been in the cans for quite a while. GO stars RGV’s favorite Nisha Kothari and debutant Gautam. Considering RGV’s recent poor form, this action film is bound for a poor turnout too; while another factor could be its delayed release. Moving on to Hollywood entry Next - no confusions here! Next happens to be the name of the new action thriller. This Nicholas Cage movie was a disaster at the US box-office and its success in the Indian market also looks bleak. So, let’s move on to the next movie – a Bollywood entry - Chaddon Na Yaar. This film is supposed to be a suspense thriller with Jimmy Shergill in the lead. The only thing that is in Chaddon Na Yaar’s favor is the popular music. But expect the movie to be taken off by the end of this week. Kollywood’s third entry is Veeramum Eeramum, where Saravanan, after drawing the attention of the audience for his role in Paruthiveeran, is back with another village story. There is absolutely no word about this movie and the response from the preview shows have been very average. This naturally means that Veeramum Eeramum will surely find it tough to stay afloat in the market and that too with the biggies lining up to enter the fray in a few weeks time. Next in the line is Thavam. Arun Kumar is back with Thavam, after a hiatus, which is produced by ‘Action King’ Arjun. Even though the movie was not promoted properly, the buzz is very positive for this drama. Thavam is solely relying on word of mouth and we just hope that the movie does justice to that. Now for the two Hollywood entries, one is 28 Weeks Later and the other is Disturbia. Twenty-eight Weeks Later is the sequel to the successful 28 Days Later. People who can digest excessive graphic violence could be the target audience for this film. The movie has come out good and will impress the fans. Now for the modern version of the Alfred Hitchcock’s classic “Rear Window” - Disturbia. The movie is a heart pounding story about a boy under house arrest, who thinks that his neighbor maybe a serial killer. The movie has been made on a larger scale and is very entertaining. If you have time and want looking for some entertainment then this is the best option.

Now for the behindwoods pick of the week Behindwoods.com pick of the week is Kattradhu Tamil The trailer and music have evoked enough buzz among the audience and the movie is hailed by the hero as his career best and a classic. So the expectations were a little on the higher side. The movie has fulfilled its promise and more. Jeeva, as the protagonist, has done a brilliant job. The director, Ram, from Balu Mahendra’s school of film making has done an exceptional job. Kattradhu Tamil is sure to be termed as a milestone in the Tamil cinema industry. And the Bollywood celebrities, who are fighting for the Oscar selection, kindly stop all that and send this instead. Verdict – first watch Kattradhu Tamil, and get Disturbia.
