Nanban starring Vijay, Jeeva, Srikanth, Sathyaraj, Sathyan, Ileana is a perfect family entertainer and remake of 2010 bollywood blockbuster '3 idiots'. The Tamil version is directed by Shankar the megamind with music by Harris Jeyaraj. The film had a unique star cast and that's the secret of success says trade analysts.
Vettai which got released one day next to Nanban also got a good opening because of the star cast like Madhavan, Arya, Sameera Reddy and Amala Paul. The film is directed by Lingusamy who is known for his action oriented masala films. The film is said to be doing good buisness next to Nanban. The film had music by Yuvan Shankar Raja and audience feels that the songs are the only letdown for this commercial entertainer.
Mounaguru directed by debutant Shantha Kumar is a movie which needs to be appreciated among all. The movie starring Arul Nidhi, Iniya in the lead roles was released without much promotions and low expectations. But the gripping storyline and narration pulled crowds to the theaters. Even let theater owners to increase the shows because of the public interest.
Finally it is Kollaikaran directed by Tamilselvan who is also a newcomer. The film had Viddharth of Mynaa fame and Sanchita Shetty in the lead roles. It is a usual storyline but filled with funny moments on the lines of superhit Kalavani. Kollaikaran had a decent opening but later faded out.
