The Republic Day theatrical releases all over India will surely garner eyeballs. While Bollywood has its eyes glued on Siddharth Anand’s action film Fighter starring Hrithik Roshan, the South industry will see some big clashes too.
The stage was actually set for Rajinikanth starrer Lal Salaam (Tamil), Vikram’s Thangalaan (Tamil), Mohan Lal’s Malaikottai Vaaliban (Malayalam) and Hansika Motwani’s 105 Minutes (Telugu) all set to rock the theatres. However, there has been disappointment over the postponement of Lal Salaam and Thangalaan. This has made the competition around Republic Day weaker for sure!!
All eyes are on Mohan Lal to rock in his brand-new avatar. This highly anticipated period action film directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, is preparing for its release on January 25. The teaser of the film has indeed raised curiosity, especially with Mohanlal’s character Avalaram speaking the words, ‘What you have seen is the truth, what you have not seen is a lie. What you have seen till now is a lie. What I will show you now is the truth.’ The movie features a stellar cast led by Mohanlal, Sonalee Kulkarni, Hareesh Peradi, Danish Sait, and others.
And the cash registers have already started to ring when it comes to the advance booking for Malaikottai Vaaliban. According to the Indian box office tracker Sacnilk, Malaikottai Vaaliban is expected to perform well at the box office. A huge sum of 158177 tickets have been sold already in advance on Day 1 of Advance booking. Are you all ready for this extraordinary display of cinematic experience with Malaikottai Vaaliban?
Coming to the next release around the Republic Day weekend is Raju Dussa’s psychological thriller film starring Hansika Motwani, titled 105 Minutes. This film has already entered the history books as it is the first film to be shot in a single take with a single character. The film’s concept and the unique manner in which it has been shot challenge the norms of filmmaking. The film is creating a lot of curiosity, for one will only see Hansika Motwani on the screen and nobody else in the film. The movie has a run time of 145 minutes. Critics are already talking about the meticulous ways in which the makers have shot this film. This film is believed to take Telugu cinema to a higher level, setting a new benchmark when it comes to credibility in filmmaking and working out innovative experiences.
Both films are for sure, cinematic masterpieces. The genres of the films are very different. Mohan Lal teases his fans with every new role of his, and this is a larger-than-life character that he portrays in Malaikottai Vaaliban. All eyes will surely be on him, and we can tell you a fact that Mohan Lal seldom disappoints his fans. Hansika Motwani is part of this experimental masterpiece titled 105 Minutes. A big responsibility for a young actor like her, and if she succeeds in calling the shots in this single-character film, there is no looking back for her!!
