As the year's Onam which coincided with the Muslim's fasting period ended up as a lackluster affair with half a dozen small releases ending up as sob stories in the Box Office, the viewers are all set to receive their four big movies from superstars planned to get into theatres for this Friday. The four releases which will be on theatres by this 10th will be Mammootty’s ‘Pranchiyettan & Saint’ and ‘Vande Mataram’, Mohanlal’s ‘Shikaar’ and Lal Jose directed ‘Elsamma Enna Aankutty’.

The super star films are all expected to go for wider releases with at least 65 or more release centres. M. Padmakumar directed Mohanlal’s ‘Shikaar’ will make an appearance in 80 centres on September 9. Released through Maxlab, this is a revenge story with Mohanlal playing a lorry driver Balaraman. Sneha, Ananya, Samuthirakani, Kalabhavan Mani, Kailash and Lalu Alex are also part of the cast of ‘Shikaar' which is said to offer some thrilling fight sequences.

Megastar Mammootty will have two of his movies released on the same day for this Ramzan. It is after a decade that Mammootty is having two films on the same day. His Renjith directed ‘Pranchiyettan and the Saint’ is said to be a satire, which has impressed with its first promos. The other movie 'Vande Mataram' is a bilingual action thriller, which also features Arjun, Jagadheesh and Sneha in important roles. Directed by T Aravind, this movie is produced by Henry.

’Elsamma Enna Aankutty' by Laljose is widely expected to emerge the dark horse among these four movies. Telling a soft, light hearted story wound around characters played by newcomer Ann Augustine, Kunchakko Boban and Indrajith, the movie is basically a fun film. The posters of the movie are already an instant hit, which will work much in favour of the movie, to boost its initial collections.
