‘Four Friends’ leads the list

With the arrival of few new movies in Mollywood, the list of the Box Office's best has shown considerable differences from the previous weeks. And as expected the multi-starrer from Saji Surendran 'Four Friends' has opened to good initials to top the list.

1. Four friends - Though there are mixed opinions about the movie, it registered good initials in the first two days. This third movie from Saji Surendran has a very interesting cast composing of Jayaram, Jayasuriya, Boban Kunchakko, Meera Jasmine, Siddhique, Salimkumar, Ganesh Kumar and Suraj Venjarmoodu, which itself is the USP of the movie. Add to that the presence of universal star Kamal Haasan in a special cameo, it is not surprising for the movie with such a good pre-publicity to jump to the top spot from the day one. It remains to be seen how far this collections sustain in the case of 'Four Friends'.

2. Anwar - Though the interest in the movie is getting thinner, the stylish movie from Amal Neerad still registers good collections all across. The presence of Lal, Prakash Raj and Mamtha Mohandas, together with the sensitive topic and interesting visualisations add to list of the highlights of the movie which had a very good first two weeks, as far as the collections are concerned. 'Anwar' remains the second solo hit from Prithviraj after 'Puthiya Mugam' which came out last year.

3. Cocktail - Slowly emerging to the chart tops is 'Cocktail'- a low budget thriller from debutant director Arunkumar. The movie based on an English flick is wisely redone to suit the mood and interests of the desi audience. Featuring Anoop Menon, Jayasuriya and Samvrutha Sunil in the lead, ‘Cocktail’ is expected to become an earner even with a short run.

4. Endhiran - The Rajinikanth magic is still on. The magnum opus science fiction 'Endhiran' from Shankar is till ruling the theatres in majority of the centres, though the initial frenzy ness had died out. Now the movie remains the hot favourite of families and children.

5. Elsamma Enna Annkutty - This Lal Jose starer has ended up as the black horse among the Ramzan releases. The movie into its fifty days continues in 14 of its release centres with satisfactory collections. Also in theatres are Mohanlal's 'Shikaar', Mammootty's 'Pranchiyettan and the Saint' and Suresh Gopi's 'Sadgamaya', continuing with average collections.

Prithviraj in ‘Season’ remake

There is one more film being added to the remake list of Prithviraj. The young superstar of Mollywood will replay the role Jeevan lived by Mohanlal in the remake of the 1989 film 'Season', written and directed by the late P. Padmarajan.

The movie portrayed the of drug mafia in the beaches of Kovalam. Mohanlal played an innocent trader selling foreign goods in the beaches. He is falsely framed for three murders, including that of his two friends who is actually killed by the drug mafia.

Though the movie was not a hit at the box office, the sensitive portrayal of the lead character by Mohanlal was well appreciated. Padmarajan's realistic story-telling style also came for praises. All hope the changed times would do justice to the story now.

Mammootty, busy with functions

The shooting of the new 'August15' holds a special record. The movie will have megastar Mammootty shooting an entire film in Thriuvananthapuram, after a gap of many years. And this seems to end up in shifting of many functions with the megastar, to the capital city.

Ever since the actor was in Thiruvananthapuram, he is busy attending a number of functions every evening. Last week he was in the pooja function of ‘Bangkok Summer’, a youth movie by Pramod -Pappan which will be shot entirely at foreign locales. The megastar lit the ceremonial lamp in the pooja ceremony of the movie, which will be scripted by Rajesh Jayaraman.

Mammootty was also seen in audio release functions of films like 'College Days' which will grace the theatres soon. Mammootty is also surrounded by the TV channels for special interviews, as the capital city remains the headquarters of the television industry and most of the Television channels operating in Malayalam.

Mohanlal gets UAE driving license

For Mohanlal, Dubai is like his second home as he shuttles between the Gulf and India on regular basis for personal and professional reasons.

So with too many commitments in Dubai, Mohanlal thought it would be nice to have an UAE driving license for himself and applied for one. UAE driving license is one of the difficult things to own. But Lalettan appeared for his driving test and cleared it on his first try.

He took the regular 20 classes only and made it in his first attempt itself. El Fateh Abdul Baqi Eljack, the General Manager of Dubai Driving Center which trained Mohanlal said he is very surprised at the finesse with which the actor cleared all the tests.

‘Mangala’ to give a new feel to audience

The combination of Charmme and director Osho Tulasiram was once proved successful in ‘Mantra’. The same is combo is repeating again for ‘Mangala’. Tulasiram himself is producing ‘Mangala’ in association with Ch V Sarma.

Though the shooting was complete long ago, the post-production works are going at a snail’s pace. The producers speeded up the process and busy wrapping up pending work, besides making efforts to release the audio next month.

They say, ‘Our film ‘Mangala’ would be completely different from ‘Mantra’. The story and screenplay were so gripping that everyone would get stuck to their seats from the minute the film begins. The objective of the horror scenes was not just to frighten the audiences, though they get a feel of it. Definitely the film would give a new experiences to all those who watch the movie. The scenes that were shot in Vikarabad forests would be quite interesting. Charmme’s performance is an asset for the movie’. Camera is by Dasarathi Sivendra and music is by Viswa.

Censor gives ‘A’ to RGV’s Rakta Charitra

Ramgopal Varma, who is in the thick of controversies, submitted his latest trilingual film, ‘Rakta Charitra’, which was simultaneously made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages, for censor certification.

The Andhra Pradesh State Board of Film Certification aka Censor Board awarded ‘A’ certificate on the expected lines.

RGV himself claimed that it was highly action-oriented film with lots of bloodshed. As the board objected to use the word Anantapuram in the film, the makers changed it to Anandapuram.

According to RGV’s posting in Twitter, the film is slated for release on October 21. The entire film unit is planning to go to Anantapur to watch the film along with the audiences on the first day to note down the reaction from them.

Basically the film was made with the real life incidents that led to the murder of Paritala Ravindra and the factional violence that is marring the region for quite few decades.

Vivek Oberoi, Suriya, Priyamani are playing the lead roles in the film. As the length of the film was quite long, the producer cum director is planning to release the film in two parts in a gap of one month or 50 days.

The Hindi version is expected to be released one day latter, i.e., on October 22.
