What's The Status Of Malayalam Movies Slated As Onam Releases?
As many as 5 Malayalam movies were scheduled to hit the theatres during the Onam season. Now, when will these movies hit the theatres? Read on to know more.
For sure, this Onam season won't be the same for Keralites and many will be skipping the celebrations as a mark of support to all those who have been affected by the massive floods. The year will be devoid of the Malayalam movies that usually add an extra flavour to the festival season of Onam and for which the audiences eagerly wait for even months before their actual release dates.
Importantly, the heavy lineup of Malayalam movies for the Onam season was expected to grace the theatres since August 17 onwards. The array of releases was expected to be inaugurated with the arrival of Biju Menon starrer Padayottam, which was initially scheduled to hit the theatres on August 17, 2018. Now, when will these Malayalam movies grace the big screens? Read on to know more about the same.
