It will rain films this May

Now, this May could be a crucial one for the Malayalam film industry.

With several films lined up for release, the fortunes of quite a few could be decided in the days to come.

Mammootty, whose latest release Cobra was not really a memorable one, is waiting for his son Dulquer Salmaan`s Ustad Hotel, which will be released on May 11. Mohanlal`s Grandmaster is all set to hit the screens on May 3. 

Lal Jose will come up with his own production, Diamond Necklace, on May 4.

Mallu Singh, starring Unni Mukundan and Kunchacko Boban, will hit the screens on May 11. Prithviraj, who was originally slated to play the lead in Mallu Singh, will have his Hero at the theatres in early May. Jayasurya`s Vaadhyaar is also expected to reach the theatres during May this year.

The performances of these big films will decide the releasing dates of a few more. M A Nishad`s No 66 Madurai Bus, Pradeep Nair`s Cherukkanum Pennum, Aji John`sNamukku Parkkan and Aneesh Anwar`s Mullamottum Munthiricharum are at various stages of completion and will go for a May release, if the climate is favourable.

The coming weeks will decide the fate of a few big names in Malayalam. As they say, the plot thickens now and all of you movie buffs out there get ready for action!
