The Tamil Diwali releases, Japan and Jigarthanda Double X have registered disastrous advance bookings in Tamil Nadu and Telugu States. It is widely known that Japan is the landmark film (25th Movie) in Karthi’s career, and Jigarthanda Double X is a big-budget film starring Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah in the lead roles.
Both films were expected to open big at the box office, but the advances have started on a disastrous note. The promotional content, like songs and promos, did not work for the films, and the pre-festival period might have affected them significantly.
A positive word of mouth is necessary for both films to gain momentum. Both films will have a significantly lower opening in all territories. The makers of Japan and Jigarthanda Double X had applied for the extra show in Tamil Nadu, and the government had permitted them to screen the special shows.
Japan, written and directed by Raju Murugan, is described as a heist comedy film and has been given a U/A certificate by the CBFC.
Japan’s ensemble cast comprises Anu Emmanuel, Sunil, KS Ravikumar, Jithan Ramesh, Bava Chelladurai, and more, in addition to Karthi. Dream Warrior Pictures, a company known for films like Kaithi and Sulthan, provided funding for the movie, and GV Prakash Kumar composed the music. The film is believed to portray Karthi as a thief who has stolen 200 crores worth of jewelry.
Jigarthanda Double X is a follow-up to the 2014 film Jigarthanda, which Karthik Subbaraj directed. According to reports, the film has been provided a U/A Certificate by the CBFC and will run for 2 hours and 52 minutes. Stone Bench Films, Five Star Creations, and Ivenio Origin have worked together to produce the film.
The music for the film has been composed by Santhosh Narayanan, while S Thirunavukkarasu has cranked the camera.
