Film Review: A Man, a Woman
and a Gun Bamako, You Kill Me and Brand Upon the
Brain!
There's something about the pressing issues of the day—global warming, the
war in Iraq, the American healthcare crisis—that can sap a filmmaker's
imagination.

Kanda Naal Mudal is
produced by National Award-winning actor Prakash Raj's production house, Duet
Movies. Its first production, a small film titled Azhagiya Theeya (starring
Prasanna and Navya Nair) was a surprise hit at the Tamil box office. This
love story has Prasanna and Laila in the lead, with Karthik, the hero of P C

MUMBAI:
While Bollywood is going to town with the hype and promotions around the two
upcoming film releases on 20 October 2006;
Hollywood
is also ‘animatedly’ ready to release two foreign film biggies this festive
season.
On 20October 2006, Farhan Akhtar's Don
and Saajid Nadiadwala's Jann-E-Mann
will release alongside Open Season
and The Ant Bully from Sony Pictures Entertainment and Warner Brothers
respectively.
While
Don stars Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Rampal
and Isha Koppikar; Jaan-E-Mann stars Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and
Preity Zinta. Open Season and The Ant Bully, on the other hand
are animation films.
The
question here is – Will these animated characters get enough space to breathe
alongside the Khans of Bollywood?

"Why
not?" says Sony Pictures Releasing of
India
head PR and acquisitions Vikramjit Roy. "Since Open
Season is an animated film, our target audience is kids, unlike Jaan-e-Mann
and Don,which are primarily targeted at the youth. Although the multiplexes are
booked with the multiple screenings of these films, they do realize the
importance of an audience for animated
Hollywood
films. So we have been given our space to serve our niche. Besides, this is the
festive holiday season, which is the best time to release films for kids,"
Roy
adds.
According
to industry sources, Warner Brothers’ The Ant Bully is releasing all
over
India
with 25 prints. The movie was released in the
US
on
28 July, 2006
and did business worth $25 million at the box office.
On the
other hand, Open Season opened at the
number one position and did a business of $23.6 million in its first week and an
overall business of $65 million.
"Open
Season is Sony Pictures' eleventh film to open at number one position at
US
box office in 2006 and the tenth film to have opened above $20 million mark. So
such collections of the film have further boosted us to have a Diwali /Eid
release in
India
," says
Roy
.
On
one hand where Bollywood films have marketed themselves aggressively to grab the
audiences' attention,
Hollywood
films are not far behind. Warner Brothers has tied up with Pogo and Cartoon
Network for The Ant Bully ad campaigns. They have also tied up with HBO
to give two free tickets to Movieworld
Australia
.
Sony
Pictures has tied up with Sanctuary Asia magazine
to promote the subject of the film, which is broadly based on environmental
issues. Booproo chewing gum brand has also tied up with Open
Season and its commercials are on Toon Disney, Disney, Hungama, HBO and Star
TV. Contests, activities, P.O.S. and free tickets are also being given away. Open
Season is also releasing at Imax Adlabs in the Imax format, which will be
screened at its dome theatres.
It’s
truly Bollywood versus
Hollywood
this festive season!
