One days to go for Pongal day (Tuesday, Jan 15), most producers and distributors want to stick to tradition and release their films only on Pongal day. Nobody is willing to experiment by releasing their film on Jan 11 or 12 to get the benefit of the weekend collections.
There is a belief in Tamil film industry that collections will be poor if it is released before the festival day, as people are either shopping or making preparations to celebrate, and movies are last on their priority!
At the moment those who have come out with theatre listings for Chennai city and have censored their films are-
