May is normally the big blockbuster month in world cinema- Hollywood,
Bollywood,and Kollywood. Every year without fail, the first Friday and the last
Friday of May will see a Hollywood mass movie mainly a big franchise film
releasing.
This year from Hollywood, it is Spider-man 3 on May 4 and Pirates of the
Caribbean 3 on May 25, both big movies with their Tamil versions. Surprisingly
there are no big Hindi movies this year, other than Shoot out at Lokhandwala
and Cheeni Kum both due on May 25. As far as Tamilnadu is concerned, there is
only one big blockbuster scheduled for release in May- Rajnikanth's magnum opus
Sivaji, which according to the trade is due on May 17. The latest we hear
from sources close to Shankar is that they are trying their best to complete
post production work of the film and release it on May 26. Remember Shankar's
big blockbusters Indian and Jeans were released in the month of May? The
leading exhibitors in Tamilnadu are not taking bookings for any new Tamil films
in May, as they are all waiting for Sivaji. Already half a dozen big and
small films producers have made it clear that they will release their ventures
only a month after Sivaji. Ajit's Kireedam, Vikram's Bheema
will announce their release strategy only after the release of the blockbuster
film. Along with that some small films too do not want to get in the way of the
mighty giant.
