film news on August
'Unakkum Enakkum...' storms box
office
By Aparna Nath, Indo-Asian News Service
Chennai, Aug 8 (IANS) Prabhu Deva directed the Telugu "Nuvvostante
nenoddantana", which ran for several months and became a landmark
film. Jeyam Raja decided to
remake it in Tamil to salvage his younger brother Jeyam Ravi's
sagging career. Like the Telugu original, the Tamil version has
also stormed the box office.
The top five Tamil films are:
1. "Unakkum Enakkum Something Something" - Director:
Raja. This remake, as expected, has appealed to all those who
love romantic comedies. Many doubted actor
Ravi's ability to match the sophistication of Siddharth, who did
the Telugu original, but Ravi has hit it off as an NRI. And
Trisha has come off better than in the original.
2. "Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi" - Director: Simbudevan.
People are still thronging theatres to see the film and laughing
their hearts out. A blockbuster!.
3. "Uyir" - Director: Samy. It was first publicised as
Srikanth's film. With Sangeeta giving a fiery performance as the
sex-starved sister-in-law of Srikanth, he is no longer in
the posters. It has become a Sangeeta film. Very rarely does a
Tamil film run on the strength of an actress, but "Uyir" is one
of them.
4. "Parijatham" - Director: Bhagyaraj. This is the
surprise hit of 2006. With "Something something", it may lose
its charm because both are fun-filled comedies and
"Something..." is definitely doing better.
5. "Thiruttu Payale" - Director: Susie Ganesan.
The film has completed 100 days, which is a big achievement
these days."
