Madraskaran vs Vanangan
Madrasakaaran is competing with Vanangan at the Kollywood box office. The Arun Vijay starrer, directed by Vali Mohan Das, flopped in the home state. Vanangan has performed better in Tamil Nadu. The auspicious occasion of Pongal festival may help in increasing the number of Madrasakaran in their home state in future.
It will compete with the over a decade-delayed film Madha Gaja Raja, directed by actor Vishal, starting tomorrow (January 12, 2025). Other rival releases are Kadhalika Neramillai and Nesippaya. The Nithya Menen-starrer and Akash Murali’s acting debut are both scheduled to release on January 14, 2025.
The makers of Madrasakaran released its trailer on YouTube a few days ago. It has managed to garner good publicity ever since its announcement. The Tamil film also features a remix version of the popular song Kadhal Sadugudu from R. Madhavan’s 2000 film Alaipayuthey.
