'Classmates' gets its timing right
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,February 28 2007]
Classmates in Malayalam was a sort of cult movie. It broke all the existing box-office records when it was released last year.
Director K Vijay Bhaskar and producer Sravanthi Ravi Kishore are now remaking Classmates with the same title in Telugu. Sumanth and Sada play the leads.
The director and producer had a few years back successfully remade another Malayalam cult classic named Niram as Nuvve Kavali.
So they have enough experience in reworking things around. Incidentally, Sumanth missed out in acting Nuvve Kavali.
But the second time he has caught the bus.
The film is a frothy collge campus story with enough intrigues and suspense. A murder of a student adds to the intrigue.
The music was also a great USP for the movie. Sumanth plays the role that prithviraj played in the original.
Classmates will release in April just in time to catch the youth set, who will be out on holidays. Smart timing indeed.
