Ramsubramaniam's
Tamil
drama
Thanga
Meengal,
which
was
originally
scheduled
to
release
July
26,
has
been
pushed
to
a
further
date
due
to
lack
of
screens.
The
director
says
he
won't
release
the
movie
until
he
gets
maximum
number
of
theatres.
"The
delay
has
been
due
to
lack
of
screens.
We
can't
expect
a
solo
release
nowadays,
but
my
film
deserves
to
get
a
good
number
of
theatres
for
release.
I
won't
release
it
until
I
get
maximum
number
of
screens
for
release," Ram
told
IANS.
Two
Tamil
films
Pattathu
Yaanai
and
Sonnaa
Puriyadhu
released
July
26,
and
both
the
projects
opened
to
decent
response
at
the
box
office.
Ram
now
hopes
to
release
his
film
in
August
provided
he
gets
screens
amidst
the
rush
of
big-budget
flicks
such
as
Thalaivaa,
Chennai
Express,
Attarintiki
Daaredhi
and
Yevadu.
"Shah
Rukh
Khan's
Chennai
Express
will
definitely
have
a
big
release
in
Tamil
Nadu
as
well
because
it
has
a
strong
south
Indian
connection.
In
fact,
one
shouldn't
be
surprised
if
the
makers
plan
a
bigger
release
in
the
state
vis-a-vis
other
south
Indian
states,"
trade
analyst
Trinath
told
IANS.
"Today,
it's
very
unlikely
to
get
a
solo
release.
Each
week
a
minimum
of
two
films
in
Tamil
are
hitting
the
screens,
and
it
is
likely
to
continue
in
the
weeks
to
come,"
he
added.
Seven
Tamil
films
released
in
July,
and
of
them
only
Singam
2,
which
managed
to
get
a
solo
release
on
July
5,
emerged
as
a
box
office
winner.
Other
films
include
Dhanush's
Mariyaan
and
low-budget
flicks
such
as
Anba
Azhaga,
Kaadhale
Ennai
Kaadhali
and
Sathiram
Perundhu
Nilayam.
Ram's
Thanga
Meengal,
which
features
him
in
the
lead
role,
is
based
on
a
relationship
between
a
father
and
his
daughter.
It
highlights
the
importance
of
primary
school
education.
