No Onam releases this year !!!

Malayalam film industry is going on with it's poor box office results. Out of the films that got released in this year's summer vaccation only four films were able to recapture the amount of money spent on it's shooting. Except those 4 films, Lal directed 2 Harihar Nagar, Jayaram's Bhagyadevatha, Dileep and Sreenivasan starrer Passenger and Mohanlal's Saagar Alias jackie - Reloaded all the other films were met with a disaster at the box office.

Now it's the time to move on and think about the next major festival season in Malayalam film industry, Onam season. But if the sources are to be believed then there will be no major Malayalam releases for Onam 2009. This is happening for the first time in over a decade and the major reason for this backing up is the Noyambu (Fasting period) season. Onam which falls on September 2, is exactly in the middle of Noyambu, starting on August 20 to September 20.

There is a strong belief in the Malayalam film industry that films which are releasing in the Noyambu season will be a flop. It's a true fact that those films will have to suffer severely due to poor collections. Keeping all these in mind, almost all the films that are earlier slated for an Onam release will now only release on September 18.

It will have to be checked whether any of the makers will dare to release their film in the Noyambu season. The films that are shifted to the Ramzan period include Mammootty’s epic magnum opus Pazhassi Raja, Mohanlal’s untitled film with Roshan Andrews, Dileep’s Bodyguard and Prithviraj’s Robin Hood.
