BOUNTIFUL PACKAGE: (Clockwise from top left) Thangam, Indralogathil Na. Azhagappan, Vazhthugal, Pirivom Sandhippom, Kaalai and Pidichirukku.
The New Year will usher
in more than half a dozen
films. Vikram

Sandhipom'), Madhavan
(`Vazhthugal'),

(`Indiralogathil Na.Azhagappan')
and Ashok
(`Pidichirukku') are the heroes
whose films will be released
in the course of the
week.
Vikram's `Bheema' is a
film on a dada and his men.
The title is the code word of
the hero Vikram who takes
on the bad guys with a vengeance.
Lingusamy is the director.
The cast includes
Trisha, Prakash Raj, Raghuvaran
and Ashish Vidyarti.
Entertainment galore
`Thangam' is a film with
Satyaraj and Megha Nair in
the lead. After a gap of some
years Coundamani (that's
how he spells his name now)
acts with Satyaraj and both
of them are sure to make the
audience laugh to their
hearts content. Others in
the cast are Jayashree,
Shanmugarajan, Mahadevan,
Ilavarasu, `Delhi' Kumar
and Satyapriya.
According to the director
G.Kicha, the film was shot in
45 days in and around Pollachi.
Thangam is the name
of the hero. There are no
remix songs. Out of the five
songs three are melody
numbers tuned by Srikanth
Deva. Satyaraj appears as
MGR in a song bit and it will
be a highlight. D.Shankar
does the camera work while
the dialogue has been written
by Anbumani.
A laugh riot
Vadivelu acts in three different
roles in `Indiralogathil
Na. Azhagappan.'
This film is out and out a
laugh riot with Vadivelu doing
the roles of Indiran, Yaman
and Azhagappan. "The
film has all the ingredients
to make it to the box office,"
says producer Manicam Narayanan.
Actor Shriya has
done a dance in the film
which has Yamini Sharma,
Nasser, Sumitra, Manobala,
Thyagu and Raj Kapoor.
The film is directed by
Thambi Ramaiah.
Thought-provoking theme
`Vazhthugal' has Madhavan,
and Bhavna. A story of
sentiment and family
bonding, it is directed by
Seeman. The cast includes
Venkat Prabhu, Ilavarasu,
Krishnamurthy, `Koothup-
pattarai' Muthusamy,
Trotsky Marudhu, Panrutti
MLA Velmurugan and Mallika
Sukumaran, mother of

has the music of Yuvan
Shankar Raja.
Star-studded performance
Cheran and Sneha are
the hero and heroine of `Pirivom
Sandhipom,' directed
by Karu.Pazhaniappan.
"The story starts three
months before the marriage
of the lead pair and
ends six months after it.
Nearly 32 known faces such
as Jayaram, Mouli, Lakshmi
Ramakrishnan, Sangeetha,
T.K.Kala,
Rajalakshmi, Mahadevan,
Balasingh, Devadarshini
and Jayalakshmi are in the
film. Except one song all
others are montage songs.
Sneha has dubbed her dialogue
in her own voice for
this film," says the director.
The second venture
Director Tarun Gopi's
second venture `Kaalai' has
Silambarasan and Vedika
in the lead. There are three
persons with the same
name - while one is the
hero, the other two are villains.
The confusion forms
the basis of the plot. . Nila
has danced for a song in the
film.
Story of siblings
Bharath's `Pazhani' also
joins the Pongal race. The
story is about a brother
who thinks his sister is like
his mother.
The mother's role is enacted
by Kushboo. The
problem the hero faces is
told with various twists and
turns. The film is directed
by Perarasu.
Different climax
Hero Ashok who did
`Muruga' comes out with
his next venture `Pidichiruku'
with Visaka as his heroine.
Direction is by Kanagu.
The story is about a young
man who works as a lorry
agent. The films starts with
a bang and ends in a different
way. Ashok says he is
sure of its success.
