As things reveal, the November and December months are going to be interesting with value films which have been pushed by force or postponed by choice hitting the theatres in regular succession.
As for this Friday two serious stories – ‘Magizhchi’ and ‘Mandhira Punnahai’ – along with a mass masala ‘Nagaram’ are releasing. On the Hollywood dubbed frontier the Tamil dubbed ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ as ‘Haary Pottarum Uyir Rahasiyamum’ is releasing.
‘Magizhchi’ is the film adaptation of the classic Tamil novel ‘Thalaimuraigal’ written by distinguished author Neela Padmanabhan.

Director Gauthaman says the film will satisfy all classes.‘Mandhira Punnahai’ is another film which has its director debuting as the hero as well. Karu Palaniappan who captured our hearts with sensitive films like Parthiban Kanavu and Pirivom Sandhippom is out with another story of human emotions.
The story of ‘Mandhira Punnahai’ is about a person who is unaffected by any thing, not even love. The hero in the film is an architect who leads a carefree life without any concern for others and the heroine is a modern girl with ethical values tries to change his notions. When their different ideas on love and life try to converge it diverges from the core point. It is about the real feeling of the term love. There is no disconnecting villain in this film. All wars are fought with emotions and sentiments.
Karu. Palaniappan is known for his deft handling of human relationships in his films and this film too is eagerly awaited. Meenakshi is the heroine. Santhanam is also a mainstay in the film as the friend of Karu. Director Nakulan Ponnuswamy and Deala No Deal fame Rishi are some interesting new faces to watch out in ‘Mandhira Punnahai’.

Anuya of ‘Siva Manasula Sakthi’ is the heroine and she lip-locks Sundar C in a scene. Veteran character actor G Srinivasan resurfaces as a villain in this film. Thought to be a sequel to his earlier ‘Thalainagaram’, Sundar C denies it.‘Harry Pottarum Uyir Rahasiyamum’ is dubbed from ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’.
