In Kollywood there have been 53 releases in the first six months of 2009 (January 1 to June 30) of which 9 will recover their cost or make profits. Compare this with last year’s figure for the first six months of the year, there were 61 (out of the total 119 in 2008) and 10 of them were profitable.

It has been very encouraging year for movies made on a small budgets of Rs 3 to Rs 5 crore budget, as the success of Siva Manasulla Sakthi, Yaavarum Nalam,Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu, Pasanga, Nadodigal illustrate. The biggies except for Suriya’s Ayan and Dhanush’s Padikkathavan have all failed to cover the cost of production and marketing.

1. Ayan- Blockbuster

10. Arundathi (Dubbed)** -Hit

* Early days, how big hit it turns out, can be known only later as the film released on June 26.
