Rasikkum Seemane
Cast: Srikanth, Navya Nair, Aravind Akash, Bose Venkat, Mayilsami, Kadhal Thandapani, Sathyan
Director: R K Vidyadaran
Producer: Thirumalai
Music Director: Vijay Antony
After lying around in the can for about 2 years, this Srikanth – Navya Nair starrer has finally seen the light of the day. Stripped bare, it’s a triangular love story, not quite unseen altogether.
Trade Talk:
No word about the release of the movie and the business is predictably dull.
Public Talk:
If only there was something to talk about!

Director: Mithran R Jawahar

Director: Selva Raghavan
Producer: Ravendran.R
Music Director: G V Prakash Kumar
Lyricst: Vairamuthu

Trade Talk:
The movie is losing steam in the wake of other new releases.

Everything from Pia to Melanie Marie and anything in between!

A full-length spoof on Tamil movies released ever since cinema was found, Thamizh Padam breaks away from the stereotypes. Played out by Siva, Thamizh Padam is a comic treat – even the songs never cease to be funny.

Director: Saran
Producer: Prabhu, Ramkumar Ganesan
Music Director: Bharathwaj, Y-Kinz
Lyricst: Vairamuthu

Nothing related to Asal, but Thala’s speech at the CM felicitation
