The shooting of Dhanush’s anticipated Om directed by Rajkumar Periyasamy, is nearing its final stages and the film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on October 16th.
Since the announcement, Om has generated massive expectations among audiences, as it is Rajkumar Periyasamy’s immediate next film after the massive success of Amaran and also because solid performers like Dhanush, Mammootty, and Sai Pallavi are part of this film.
Yesterday, as a birthday special for Mammootty‘s fans, the makers of Om released a special glimpse video of Mammootty from the film and it has become a viral hit with super positive responses from the audience.
So far, the makers of Om have released a title glimpse video, the first single Alaaka Loova and a special glimpse of Mammootty. Interestingly, all three promotional materials have won the hearts of the audience and emerged as hits. Consequently, Om has gained solid hype among audiences and many people believe that this film will emerge as a huge blockbuster success.
Many Dhanush fans claim that Om is the best-promoted film for Dhanush in recent times and suggest that if the remaining promotional materials also perform well, Om has a huge possibility to emerge as the highest-grossing film of Dhanush‘s career.
Meanwhile, since Dhanush is returning with Om following the back to back failures of Idli Kadai and Kara, the success of this film is very crucial for the actor to reclaim his market.
On the other hand, while a few days ago director Rajkumar Periyasamy opened up in an interview that Om would be postponed to a new release date due to delays in shooting, surprisingly, the release date wasn’t changed in the recently released glimpse and was still mentioned as October 16th.
Subsequently, this created a lot of confusion among audiences about whether Om is clashing with Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2. In response to this, many trade experts suggest that Om should be postponed and not clash with Jailer 2, as they feel that Jailer 2 is a huge pan-Indian film and if Om clashes with it, its collections would be heavily affected.
Therefore, they feel that after creating solid hype with the promotional materials, the makers of Om should not waste it by releasing the film on the wrong date, claiming that the makers should choose a good release date to unlock the full box office potential of Om.
Ultimately, with the success of its promotional materials, Om has gained huge hype and if Rajkumar Periyasamy maintains this momentum by delivering an interesting trailer, Om has all the possibilities to become the career-best opening film for Dhanush.
