The Andhra Pradesh box-office, like it’s counterpart in Tamil Nadu, is superstar driven. Nagarjuna’s biggie “Don”. It is the lone Telugu Christmas release and is directed by choreographer, actor-turned-director Lawrence, who last gave Nag the big hit “Mass”. For Lawrence, it is a crucial film – first, because it is first attempt at music direction and, second, he has to deliver a hit what with his last two directorial ventures “Style” and “Muni” sank without a trace. Yoga teacher-turned-starlet Anushka is the heroine in “Don”.
Christmas is the second biggest festival season in Kerala after Onam, and the best time of year to watch movies. There are three big films — Mohanlal’s comedy-cum- psychological thriller “Flash”, directed by Sibi Malayil, who has made some classics (“His Highness Abdullah”, “Bharatham” and “Kireedam”) with the master actor, then there is “Katha Parayumbol”, in which Mammootty plays a superstar and bonds with his childhood friend, a barber, played by Sreenivasan, and Prtiviraj’s “Kangaroo”, which is about the travails of an auto driver who has to take care of an abandoned baby!
