Three Malayalam movies — Basheerinte Premalekhanam, Theeram and Team 5 — are set to hit the theatres this Friday, July 21. Though made on small budgets with no big stars to boast of, the upcoming films have been able to catch the audience's attention with their promo videos and songs. It has to be noted that all the three films are releasing this week after being postponed several times.
Watch Ramaleela second teaser
Meanwhile, two other movies — Ramaleela and Kadam Kadha — which were earlier scheduled to hit the screens on Friday have been postponed. The makers of Dileep-starrer Ramaleela are yet to announce the release date of the political thriller as Dileep is currently in judicial custody for his alleged involvement in the abduction case of the south Indian actress.
However, Vinay Forrt's comedy flick Kadam Kadha has been postponed due to unknown reasons, and the makers said the movie will be released on July 28. It will likely lock horns with superstar Mohanlal's upcoming thriller, Villain. "This is to inform you all that, our release date got postponed to 28th July 2017. Expecting heartfelt support from all of you," the team posted on the movie's Facebook page.
