Four films likely for Christmas

After a very dull Onam (the dullest in the past many years) and a rather dull Ramzan (with just one of the Eid releases likely to turn a big hit), it's now Christmas that the Malayalam film industry is looking forward to. And to cash in on the Christmas season, it's heard that four films are getting ready.

While Mammootty and Mohanlal will clash once again during Christmas at the box office, there is also a Dileep starrer in the offing plus Shafi's youthful flick Lollypop. Mammootty will have for this Christmas the bilingual Vande Matharam (Aruvadai in Tamil), in which he co-stars with Tamil star 'Action King' Arjun and with Sneha as the heroine. Mohanlal will have for his Christmas release the Shaji Kailas-directed murder mystery Red Chillies, scripted by A.K.Sajan.

Dileep, who hasn't had a release for quite some time, will most likely have one this Christmas in the Deepu Karunakaran-directed Crazy Rascals (that seems to be the name that the makers have finalized at last, after announcing almost half-a-dozen other titles). The Shafi-directed youthful Lollypop, with Prithviraj, Jayasurya and Kunchacko Boban in lead roles, will also hit screens during Christmas and given Shafi's track record, which comprises of hits only, this film is likely to turn a hit too.

In addition to these four films, some other smaller ones too may find their way to the theatres during or immediately before the Christmas season. AMMA's prestigious multi-starrer Twenty Twenty may probably get released this month itself, while a couple of Suresh Gopi films (Bullet and Boss) too are awaiting release. Another Suresh Gopi film Violet, which is in the making, may also make it to the theatres during the Christmas season. Well, there's still lot of time for the final picture to emerge
