As far as the pre release announcements there are four major films lined up for April 14 2005 release.
1. CHANDRAMUKHI - widely expected film of rajini after two years of the disastarous bombing 'Baba'. Well Rajini had been pondering over this for few months and he announced 'Jakkubai' with K.S.Ravikumar but when he was not convinced with the screenplay and struck upon a kannada movie 'Aapathabandanam' directed by P.Vasu he decided to go for 'chandramukhi'. With the initial gossips going around we can decide this may be a comedy movie with no political orientations by Rajini. Every one is with crossed fingers to know the outcome.... Vidyasagar composes the music.
2.ANNIYAN - A Shankar - Vikram - Harris jayaraj Combo. This too is Film, which has created much expectation. Shankar known to have given 5 hits in a row came up with 'Boys' a widely opposed film in his career that also proved to be a commercial flop. Vikram known to chose his films selectively has gone in for this film. Also the shift of Shankar to choose HJ over ARR for this film stirs up lot more expectations.
3.GODFATHER - A K.S.Ravikumar-Ajith-ARR combo. After Rajini ruthlessly left him out from 'jakkubai' K.S.R. has brought in a wonderful team of technicians to fight for his career which has created much hype for this Film. This should be the film that has everything and everyone fighting for a big hit. Ajith who proved to be a loudmouth over his films gave nothing and his recent 'Attagasam' is only an average grosser. ARR who doesn’t have any more projects in Tamil has a job to do and he seems to understand this, which can be sensed well from the BGM that runs thro the web site released for this film. This web site and music itself has created much expectation within me and many more cine fans and we expect the team to keep up to our expectations.
4. MUMBAI EXPRESS - A Singeetham - Kamalhassan - Ilayaraja combo. This is the coolest team of the lot, which never cares for a hit and does a job, which sounds satisfying to them, and may sometimes prove to be a big hit. The last known film of this team was ‘Michael madan kamarajan’ which was a film that ran with packed houses for 175 days in 1990. All their earlier ventures were big hits and we expect this film too to prove that the team is in form after 14 years. This film is a bilingual made in hindi and tamil and Kamal has stated that this is going to be light hearted comedy movie. He is penning the dialogues for the first time, as his ace dialogue writer for all his comedy movies Crazy Mohan is unavailable right now. Ilayaraja who has proven to give great music for all movies he has teamed up Kamal will never let his fans down this time too.
Apart from these movies ‘Thottijaya’ a simbu Starrer and ‘Mayavi’ produced by Bala and starred by Surya may join in the race.
My views over the movies are that Chandramukhi and Mumbai Express being comedy-oriented movies may not create much box-office buffs apart from Rajini and kamal factors respectively. While Anniyan and Godfather have all ingredients to expect them to be big box-office hits.
Post in your views.

I think all those films are going to do good business...
Rajini and Kamal have opted for comedies... safe bet!
Shanker is in his element with a social theme for Anniyan. Still cannot digest the fact that HJ is scoring the music for this film!!!
KSR is clearly trying to create something big... with a dream team (ARR+PCSriram)...
Thotti Jeya and Mayavi... not sure about these two...

Mayavi was supposed to be a Feb 14th release,when did it shift to April 14th.Thotti jaya is maintaining a very low profile,no one knows it's release date.Mumbai Express is a Feb/March release-at least Cinesouth claims so(i have provided the link to this in the Mumbai Express thread).That leaves us with Chandramukhi,Anniyan&Godfather.It's very difficult to predict how they will fare,CM is a remake of a very popular kannada film(Aptha Mithra)which is running currently in theatres in karnataka,Anniyan is a grand venture&looks like a film in the Gentleman,Indian mould,Will it strike a chord with the people?Screenplay has always been KSR's strength&if he does a good job in that,Godfather will be a safe bet

Mirattal was supposed to be Surya's release for Apr 14th. That will be a good one as it will be directed by A.R. Murgadoss (Ramana and Dheena fame).
Ajit prefers to release his movies (if any) and God Father many be released around May 1st.
Selvaraghavan will be smart to release his "Oru Naal Lru Kanavu" by June-July types to save Dhanush's sagging fortunes.

BTW, I didn't know that Chandramukhi is a comedy subject.. i thought it was pretty serious as Shobana won a National Award in the Malayalam originla by Fazil.

Sharah,
Aptha Mithra(Dir-P.vasu) on which CM is based is also not a comedy movie but Vishnuvardhan's character(Rajni in Tamil)is comedy oriented.The movie has garnered critical acclaim&BO success here&i have been wanting to see the movie for quite sometime now(the movie is close to the 100 day mark)but have not been able to.I will see it the following weekend&post my views on it.BTW,any body who has seen AM can review it.
Also in the latest issue of AV,John Mahendran,the director of 'Sachin'-Vijay's movie for Thanu with Harini(Genelia D'Souza of Boys fame!)&Bipasha says the movie will be released for Tamil New year which means 'Thotti jaya'will release either B4 or after(which producer is crazy enough to release 2 of his movies on the same day?)also Sharath is right when he says Godfather might release for May 1st(Ajit's B'day)¬ April 14th.

ANNIYAN WILL BE THE BOX-OFFICE HIT IN THESE ALL. BECAUSE OF VIKRAM(NATIONAL AWARD WINNER), SHANKAR WHO IS BIG DIRECTOR, HARRIS JAYARAJ WHO BROUGHT SUPER MUSIC TO TAMIL AFTER ARR, DIFFERENT STORY, AND SECOND BIG BUDJET IN INDIA AFTER SALMAN KHAN'S MOVIE. SALMAN'S 30 CRORES, ANNIYAN'S 29 CRORES.
