Surya overtakes Vijay on Tamil screen

Chennai, Nov 27 (IANS) Vijay's 'Azhagiya Thamizh Magan' got a fantastic opening but it is Surya's 'Vel' that is at the top after a week. The surprise Deepavali package is 'Polladhavan' which makes it to number three in the list of Tamil blockbusters.

The top five Tamil films are:

1. 'Vel'- Director: Hari. The director has made a neatly packaged film, which has gone down well with the B and C centre crowd.

2. 'Azhgiya Thamizh Magan' - Director: Bharathan. With each passing day, this Vijay film is being pushed to the back. In another week, Dhanush's 'Polladhavan' is sure to overtake this masala-less film.

3. 'Polladhavan'- Director: Vetrimaran. This is the surprise hit of Deepavali. Slickly made on a neat script, the film is going to be a blockbuster of 2007.

4. 'Kannamoochi Enada'- Director: Priya. This light comedy has been liked by the multiplex crowd and the number of shows has gone up.

5. 'Machakaran'- Director: Tamilvanan. Till a new film is released, this boring film will be in the theatres.
