The box-office fight is between love and friendship this week. And the very mention of the titles, 'Engeyum Kadhal' and 'Pasakkara Nanbargal', are just enough to tell you more.
While Sun Pictures is publicizing 'Engeyum Kadhal' in its usual way, by using the media might, the 'Pasakkara Nanbargal' team too is doing its best in terms of publicity.
However at the end of the day, it's the quality of the product that matters than a beautiful wrapper. Like in the past, the audience will decide on the fate of both films and before that, we will take you on a fam-trip.
Engeyum Kadhal, the 'Jayam' Ravi-Hansika Motwani starrer directed by Prabhu Deva has created huge expectations due to various reasons.
The film produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram's AGS Entertainment will be released by Sun Pictures. A strong technical team, including cinematographer Nirav Shah, is behind this movie.
And songs composed for 'Engeyum Kadhal' by Harris Jayaraj are already topping the charts. "It is a cute romantic story directed in a beautiful way by Prabhu Deva. Youngsters will enjoy the film a lot," sources say.
Pasakkara Nanbargal, after 'Chennai 28' and 'Vennila Kabbadi Kuzhu' that spoke on cricket and kabbadi, a host of new movies based on sports have become rampant.
'Pasakara Nanbargal', directed by Firoz Khan, is one such film. He says, "My son Ajmal Khan has been learning kick boxing since childhood. And I thought it would be appropriate to do a movie based on his strength. The movie is about an orphan, who prepares for a kick boxing championship and wants to win it for a cause. I play his trainer in this film."
The director adds: "Kick-boxing is the central theme of the film. Ajmal trains in the sport and aspires to become world renowned. Against all odds, he scores high in a world meet. How he does this and the challenges he faces form the plot of Pasakkara Nanbargal."
