Pongal Relese Movies 2007

The theater set for Pokkiri is the best set for Vijay in recent times.
The theater set for Aalwar is the worst set for Ajith in recent times. Selva why isnt Aalwar releasin @ Albert(here parutthiveeran is releasin Shocked

Ya at Chennai I agree Aalwar has an edge as far as theaters are sideline theaters are concerned Crying or Very sad

Releasing in some traditionally Vijay theaters in NSC areas Crying or Very sad

But the 4 mainline theaters Razz

In fact Sathyam is the only huuge screen where its releasin.And Sathyam usually takes tamil movies for a 25 day term Rolling Eyes

Navin,
I heard that AALVAR is releasing in new set of theatres. It has an edge over Pokiri with one thing. Being a friend to producer MOHAN NATARAJAN, Thala had sold the movie at low price with MG for theatre owners.. That is why new theatres have been selected for screening AALVAR Very Happy

But this is only for Chennai. Madurai and Kovai (Traditional thala forts) have got very good theatres.. esp Madurai - Sundaram complex Very Happy

This guy usually fixes more price for ticket rates. They will easily pay some MAAMOOL to police to escape from govt rule Cool

I amm 100% sure that THALA will rock with opening as usual esp in Chennai, Kovai and Madurai Very Happy

Neengaley sollipinga Thalai fortsnu.
Pokkiri according to our sources is distributed by an altogether different set of distributors(except main Chennai where Vijay himself will continue) Crying or Very sad

Madurai screens for Pokkiri is good Boo

Same 4 screens where Chandramukhi released Wink

Covai

releasin in 3 theaters.I agree that the set's nowhere near to a Gilli/Sivakasi(released in 6 screens).
Well anyway again KG'la release aaguthu Victory

(biggest theater in Covai).
Covai Madurai patthi avlo theriyaathu.But mark my words,Pokkiri will have a bigger opening than Aalwar this time at Chennai Cool

Agasthya is much much bigger than Bharath pa
Ive been to all 3 main theaters at Thiruvatriyur
Agasthya(Gilli)
Bharath(Aathi) and
Maharani(Sachien)
Agasthya>Bharath>Maharani (but quality in the reverse order)
Agasthya is perfect for mass films.And more than that its Vijays lucky theater(THirumalai,Ghilli,Madurey,Thirupaachi,Sivakasi etc)

Opening isn't something that comes from theatres alone. It depends on several other factors as well.
AFAIK, Madurai opening cannot be ruled out by anyone. Check with ur own sources for this They will confirm the same. I am 200% sure on this,

AFA, Kovai is concerned check with Villan or anyone of ur sources
Kovai - I think it is releasing in 4 screens

Will Mayajaal sell tickets at Rs 15?
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 26 December , 2006, 20:13
Mayajaal multiplex on ECR on the way to Mahabalipuram is one of the most popular getaways for up market young IT crowd in Chennai. The six- screen multiplex (seating capacity- 960) has the highest admission rate in Tamilnadu- Rs 150 to 200. Still on week-ends it clocks 90 to 95 percent occupancy!

The big news is that from January 1st, 2007 as per the new government order, Mayajaal will have to sell their tickets at Rs 15! Ridiculous it may sound, but unfortunately Mayajaal falls in a Panchayat area in Kancheepuram district, where as per the Tamilnadu government order the highest ticket rate there can only be only Rs 15!

The multiplex is currently the �Collection King� among theatres in NSC area. Recently Vetayadu Vilayadu, created a record there by collecting a distributors share of Rs 25 Lakhs. Now it will be a miracle of sorts if the Pongal releases like Pokiri or Aalwar collects a share of Rs 1.50 or 2 Lakhs from Mayajaal, with the new rates coming into effect from Jan 1st.

Now the big question is- Will Mayajaal close down? It is impossible to run the multiplex on the proposed new rates, as it will not be sufficient to run their AC plant! And the up market exclusivity of the theatre also vanishes. Above all it will be Tamil film collections that are going to be badly hit!

An emergency meeting of the distributors association and producers of Pongal Films are to be held on 28 Dec. The distributors of NSC area will demand an exemption for Mayajaal, as it is the goose that lays the golden egg for them. But the Tamilnadu government is unlikely to exempt any theatre in the state from the new admission rates.

A few days back, a very influential exhibitor in the state had tried to work out an exemption for his multiplex with one of the bigwigs in the state government. However the person concerned made it clear that nobody will go against the wishes of the Chief Minister and the new admission rates will be implemented.

Then Pokiri 1`st day black tickets thaan

`Thalai` triumphs!

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 23 October , 2006, 10:59

Sify.com had coined the title ‘King of opening” to the ultimate star Ajith and the actor has once again lived up to his reputation with Varalaaru. The film has taken the best ever opening in Tamilnadu at the Diwali box-office. (seepic: A fan offering Paalabhishekam on Ajit hoarding)

Varalaaru has taken an extraordinary opening all over Tamilnadu and overseas. In Chennai city and Chengalpet area on the opening Diwali Day, Varalaaru has taken 110 percent opening! The extra 10 percent comes from Ajit fans who watched the film standing and sitting on theatres floors in Chengalpet area!

Says ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran, who is distributing the film in North& South Arcot and Tiruchi area: “Varalaaru is the clear Diwali winner by a mile. It is going to be a milestone in Ajit’s career. The film has not only taken a bumper opening but is all set to be a super hit”.

Added Balasubramaniam of Baba Films, who are distributing the film in Kovai area: “Varalaaru has created a new box-office record in Coimbatore city by collecting a net of Rs 20. 5 Lakhs from four prints in two days”.

Not that he's EQUAL to Vijay and Ajith. Obviously he is not as big as these two, but Vishal has earned a good name for himself as a mass hero with some good hits and now he is joining with Hari. That's all.

Thaamirabarani - Could you please justify this ?

I don't have any "KoLai Veri" on VishaaL but everyone in the hub seems to have been affected by the hype created during Thimiru. Sivapathigaaram didn't have a great opening and couldn't even sustain with Rendu (Masala). IF vishaal is such a big mass hero (IF not like Ajith and vijay) his Sivapathigaaram should have got the same opening his Thirmiru got! Opening is not a matter of time but something close to reality !

Could you please justify the star value of VishaaL ?

All his films contain one scene which will depict Madurai and its surroundings. Except that do u think except Madurai every other area will give the same star value? In Madurai, IF u take any crap film based on its surroundings, it will run for good number of days.

IMO,
Aalwaar
Pokiri
Veeraasaamy (TR too has a star value and his marketing skills will be big plus for him)
Paruthiveeran (Dark horse which carries AMEER)
Thaamirabarani (No change family audience will embrace it esp after AARU and Hari's treatment of violence, blood etc)

what was so great abt Sanda Kozhi??? come on, i have seen 1000's of better action flicks and action heroes than that........wat was so eye catching/critic rousing in vishal's performance?? he is a normal actor and doesent deserve the hype and support he is getting.....

ok, i stop here, time will answer Vishal's admirers and well wishers....

.......but yes, placing him equal to Ajith/Vijay and calling him better than madhavan will evoke some reaction from me......i'm really sorry for that.....

From: selvakumar on Thu Dec 28 1:29:49 2006.

I didn't refer to how good Thamirabarani will be. I just referred to the STAR VALUE which you were talking about. As u said, it depends on the right director and not the actor VishaaL

What about Sanda Kozhi selva? Rolling Eyes

Best e.g. is Sivapathigaaram (not sure whether you have seen this or not). Sandaikozhi - THere was nothing wrong but Rajkiran was amazing and the screenplay was racy though the scenes were copied from popular tamil classics and superhit films. You watched Thimiru

That fell badly in most of the areas of TN except Madurai and Chennai ! Madurai it is a diff reason. Chennai - No need to tell.

I will post you 100th day paper AD for Sivapathigaaram. HOpe atleast at that time people will realise what is there !

Even b4 the movie some of u guys are asking are there punch dialogue or fight scenes in aalwar.So what does that imply u guys are going in to the cinemas to just see ur hero say some punch dialouge and do some fight scence which will please u guys.That what i meant by pleasing the masses and diffrence between pleasing the audience and good storyline.No offence

We cannot be confident that Aalwar and Pokiri and going to be the obvious winners.......remember last pongal.................... a small movie like Paruthiveeran will surely make it big...........

Last year's Pongal had Paramasivan become a super-hit when it was released on time. Saravana came a close second, but got the brickbats for becoming a "Ghilli-2."

Aathi's release was delayed till Sunday and reviews panned the film as a violent masala and got brickbats from the Tamil filmdom council hence the Red card on Vijay.

Despite running for 100 days, the film flopped miserably.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking at Pongal 2007, Pokiri may have an average run but since Vijay's only release was Aathi last year, his "fans" will compensate for the bumper opening. Aalwar however gets his 90-100 percent opening, hence Ajith's "king of b.o" status.

Vishal should also get success as well. His fanbase is growing and is sure to get a bigger opening than Thimiru and his last film. Ditto to Bharath. Mani Ratnam's GURU (tamil dub) would do good business as this is awaiting among Kollywood for a long time now. Vijaykanth's Sabari would be the average runner.

As for Paruthi Veeran, if people can't get tickets for the biggies, this would do some business, but not that big.

Keep in mind of the recent ticket slash. The above op percentage may vary based on that, but not by that much.

From: mareen on Mon Jan 1 14:42:27 2007.

I vote for AALWAR, I am a ajithian and i love THALAISAM

Aalwar is the most expected movie this pongal, becoz of strong come back of thala in VARALARU,

I hear the songs of alwar which are fantastic melodies,

I am sure this movie will create new records

Aalwar has 2 good songs "pidikum " and "pallandu" . others are loud n total waste of time

Pongal season promises fireworks
IndiaGlitz [Friday, January 05, 2007]

With Pongal round the corner and big budget and topnotch movies ready, this week may not see much action at the box-office.

In fact, the last two weeks had been pretty hectic with a slew of movies making it to the theatres.

Many producers have privately complained about too many releases in short time.

But they couldn�t do much about it as the situation was such that they couldn�t delay it anymore.

This Pongal day, the most happening releases would be Pokiri, Aalwar, Sabari, Thamiraparani. Paruthi Veeran may also release.

Films like Deepavali and Pachaikili Muthucharam have pulled out of the race at the last moment.

Manirathnam�s Hindi movie Guru, dubbed in Tamil, will also release this season and it is seen as a contender as Madhavan plays a journalist in this filmi saga of Dhirubhai Ambani.

Let�s hope this harvest season turns out to be a good time for the film-makers too.

Speciality of Aazhwaar is that : It doesn't have the usual intro song and has very soft and pleasing numbers except one kuthu song. Plus - It has a very good devotional + classic number ! Not sure any other film songs u have mentioned can match the quality of "PaLLaandu" !

I am personally happy with the o/p of AAZHWAAR Audio ! This pongal ! right from TRAJENDAR, Captain etc every hero is going to get introduced with trumphet sound It will be one hell of a comedy ! In that way, AAZHWAAR will stand as a unique one !

Hear the intro song of TR in Veeraasamy and hear the other intro songs as well. You will get the feel !

Big brother steps in!
By Moviebuzz | Monday, 08 January , 2007, 11:28
Surya�s love for his brother is well-known as he came forward and promoted Karthi who is making his screen debut with Paruthiveeran, in the trailer of the film.

Now big brother and his company `Studio Green` has come forward and purchased the film produced and directed by Ameer for NSC and Chennai City, the biggest area in Tamilnadu.

Everyone in the trade is heaving a sigh of relief as Paruthiveeran is now sure to release on Friday, Jan 12 and clash with biggies. Earlier Ameer, the producer of the film was finding it difficult to sell the film on his terms.

Surya is going all out to promote the film and is also trying to get good theatres for screening during the Pongal season. However, Paruthiveeran carries good reports and has got an UA certificate from the censors.

Ameer, Surya and Karthi are confident about their product and they have to be admired for taking the big risk of releasing the film along with Vijay and Ajit films.

IF a movie has been taken for less money, then it is a real advantage for that movie.

From: Warden on Tue Jan 9 3:17:06 2007.

Thirumalai(2003) though not a silver jubilee was def a superhit.
No movies bet Friends to Ghilli was made to run for 175 days Evil or Very Mad

Hes given 1 silver jubilee a year from 1996-2005(except 2002)
vera enna venum Cool

But release theaters and movie pricing say otherwise.
I trust Vijay.Theres been no one in kollywood as consistent as him in the last decade

Add 2003 also in your list.

After Friends , His Genenuine Silver jubilee is "Ghilli'. Other than this , all are made it run for 175 days by him or Producer. Cool

I said, After Friends, His Genienue Silver Jubilee was Ghilli till today.
Badri - Hit (100 days)
Shajahan (Flop - ran 100 days)
Tamiizhan (Below Average to Flop 100 days)
Youth (Average - 100 days)
Bagavath(Average - Flop 100 days)
Vaseegara (Flop - 100 days)
Pudhiya Geethai (Flop - 100 days)

Thirumalai is a Hit not a Superhit.. First 3 weeks Pithamagan had a vary good run than Thirumalai.

So ALl the above movies except Badri and Thirumalai made it run for 100 days.

2004 - Madhura (average Made it run for more than 125 days)

2005 - Thirupachi - A super hit had a very good run (50 days)and Made it run for Silver Jubilee Record.

Need;ess to say about Sachien. Sivakasi also a Hit

Here my point is After friends, his real siver jubilee is Ghili. Others are made it run by him or his producer.

I am also Expecting his Pokiri after Ghille.

That is what I meant. Until or otherwise, We know someone who can update us on the theatre which plays the respective movie, we cannot conclude ! btw, AAZHWAAR - They have chosen B and C centre screens in most of the places where it can have a safe long run ! Pokiri on the other hand has gone for bigger theatres in some places which can replace any movie shortly ! FYI - Ganesh in Sivakasi is much bigger compared to THANGAMANI. But Thangamani is at the centre of the town and it is a small theatre which hardly replaces the movies! It is close to the heart of the town. Ganesh is known for replacing the movies within 25 to 30 days FYI

Refer my previous post. Ganesh is good and it is the bigger one. But that guy replaces the movies shortly and he releases the new movies. PMS ran here for 30+ days. AADHI released in Palani AAndavar - The only theatre with DTS in Sivakasi. Thangamani is much smaller. but can ensure a long run - Thirupaachi was made to run here for 100 days. (After 40 days, it was made to run fro 60 days since Sivakasi for following it up)

AmirtaRaj Again - A theatre which can run a movie for many days. But RajaLakshmi (Pokiri release) is the best. But can replace it shortly IF any new movie comes in !

Since the producer for PMS and Pokiri is the same guy, he has gone for exactly the same theatre in many areas. But AAZHWAAR being a mass film is getting ready for rocking the B and C centres

I know you like Sachin a lot - prob.. YOu might have become a fan of vijay after this Wink

That doesn't mean it is a HIT. It is a FLOP and theatres stand to lose as it was sold based on "OutRight" basis. Thanu escaped only coz of this !

IMHO -> Sachien is better movie than Aadhi,Tirupachi,Sivakasi and Madhura and good entertainer too.,But it was average in Chennai and dud in other places.

Definitely It is benchmark for the films which are running more number of days with out crowd.

75 days with 4 shows achievement was made by Producer Dhanu.

As per Sify;s BO report, Sachien vanished after 4 th or 5th week.

So Is it deserved for 220 days?

Dhanu is known for these cheap tactics and no wonder the movie was running for 4 screens in the 75th day. It completed 200 days in Baby Albert. Guess now
THINK atleast with this correlation. It may be b/w flop to average in Chennai. (Remember SAC normally buys the city rights and he marketed it well )

Crisis brewing!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 10 January , 2007, 10:20

A major crisis is brewing in Kollywood, as distributors of Pongal releases are refusing to take delivery of prints. Suddenly distributors are not willing to screen new releases in B and C centers where ticket rates have come down after the new government rates have come into effect.

Earlier theatres which were charging Rs 40 to 50 for new releases have found to their dismay that they can charge only Rs 15 to 25, as per the new rule! Hundreds of releasing centers which used to collect Rs 5 to Rs 7 Lakhs weekly net on superstar films, found that under the new rate card it would be just Rs 1.5 lakhs to Rs 3 lakhs per week!

So these theatres were unwilling to give Minimum Guarantee(MG) amount to the distributors, who in turn has refused to take delivery. The alarming thing is that the producers are yet to issue work order to processing labs to start printing, even after getting censor certificate. And overseas prints of Pongal releases which are traditionally dispatched on Tuesday�s are yet to leave the labs.

Meanwhile producers of Pongal films are claiming that they will release as scheduled. The release schedule is as follows--

Aalwar- Jan 13th, Saturday
Pokiri-- Jan 14th, Sunday
Paruthiveeran- Jan 15th, Monday
Tamarabharani-- Jan 15th, Monday

Initially, We were told that it will release on Jan 12th. But after that we got news that the team was keen for a "Saturday" release including Ajith ! This was attributed to the fact that Saturday is an auspicious day for Lord Vishnu and the title too is related to Lord Vishnu. That is why it is releasing on Saturday and ofcourse Bogi is on Saturday. But not sure whether all these films will see the light in the respective dates ! Even now AALWAAR release date is not confirmed through the paper ADS ! But our circle says it will definitly release on Jan 13th.

`Thamarabharani` gets ’U’!

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 10 January , 2007, 19:47

The biggest surprise is that Thamarabharani has managed to get a ’U’ certificate with cuts from the censors. What caught Kollywood analysts by surprise was that, other Pongal releases in the same action genre have either got `A` or `UA`!

It augers well for Vishal and Hari as Thamarabharani will be the only film for the festival season that can be viewed by the family audience. Added to that the producer of the film Bharathi Reddy can sell the satellite rights of the film without any problems.

Bharathi has also made a smart move to release the film only on Pongal day (Jan 15th), so that she avoids clashing with the big two. Added to that, as per filmi astrologers Jan 12 and 13 are Ashtami and Navami, bad days to release a film!

I know. I saw a preview of Aalwar and I must say, it's mind-blowing. Thala simply rocks as the tailor-made role done by chella.

To reinstate, there's NO ADULT content, minimal violence. You want entertainment, Aalwar's it for you.

As for the predicitions on D-day, Ajith's Aalwar will take first position, despite the ticket-rate slash issue. Lapping it up will be Pokiri or Thambarani (pundits are claiming the latter since Vishal's "hot property". Also note the U rating) Then Pokiri and/or Paruthi Veeran.

Veerasamy will be a C-grade movie, hence a flop. Tamil GURU depends whether people want to watch a dubbed version when they can watch the hindi one there itself. Course, this would benefit the rural folks.

It�s Vijay Vs Vishal?
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 11 January , 2007, 11:14

The focus in the trade for Pongal 2007 is not a clash between the traditional foes - Ajit and Vijay. It is clearly a battle between the Periya-V and Chinna-V, that has caught the attention of the industry.

Yes, the simmering feud between Vijay and Vishal who has taken a leaf from his style book is an open secret in the industry. Vishal has modeled himself on Vijay and also caters to the same mass audience and had two resounding success in Sanda Kozhi and Thimiru. And the big joke in the industry is that Vijay�s favourite weapon the Aruvaal has also been stolen by Vishal in all his films!

The trade also went out of their way to promote Vishal. They had their own axe to grind against Vijay as cost of his movies were going up due to his astronomical salary. So many of Vijay�s traditional distributors quietly started buying Vishal movies at one third the price of the superstar film and made a fortune.

Last year Vijay�s only release Aathi, turned out to be a colossal flop and distributors burnt their fingers. And to rub it in, his father the producer of the film refused to compensate the buyers, which further tarnished the star�s image. At the same time Vishal gave the impression that he was hard working and not interested in stardom for the sake of money!

This tactics adopted by his dad G.K Reddy, long in the film business and his brother Vikram paid rich dividends. Thamarabharani producers were asked to market the film at a reasonable price, and all areas were sold out even before the shoot of the film began. Now even if this Pongal film takes an average opening, the distributors will cover their cost.

At the same time, distributors of Pokkiri, has purchased the film at record prices, and the film has to be a super hit for it to recover its cost. Added to that the new ticket rates does not look encouraging for the biggies. ( )

And the big buzz in the industry is that director Hari has gone all out to make Thamarabharani a mass movie and some of the inputs are from Vijay�s earlier hits. In the trailer of the film the stunt scenes done by Vishal looks very similar to Vijay�s wire-rope technique used in Madurai and Tirupachi!

Taking another leaf from Vijay�s guide-book Vishal is marketing his film as a mass family entertainer. ( ) And the sheer co-incidence is that both the actors are distributing their Pongal films in Chennai City, as part of their salary! ( )

Ultimately, it will be the paying public who will decide the winner at the box-office. Kollywood is truly democratic, as the King and pretender to his throne battle it out in the theatres this Pongal.

1) Pokiri - Oscar RAvi will make sure that his releases makes to the NO.1 spot
2) Thaamirabarani - Vishaal and his dad will make sure this
3) Paruthiveeran - Surya will make sure that this film attracts the attention so that his brother can grow up
4) GURU (Hindi)

Ajith vs Vijay this Pongal
Like in 2006, this year too it is battle royal between Ajith and Vijay for Pongal; the two most awaited films are Vijay's Pokkiri and Ajith's Aalwar. In 2006, Ajith's Paramasivan directed by P Vasu (after the runaway success of Chandramukhi) was pitted against Vijay's Aathi. That was when Ajith was going through one of the worst phases in his career and Vijay was riding high on the successes of Gilli and Thirupaachi. The result was Ajith had a hit in Paramasivan and Vijay's Aathi was a disaster. The situation is totally different now. Ajith has just about had the biggest hit of his career, Varalaaru.

This is also Asin's Pongal. She is the heroine for both Ajith and Vijay. Mani Ratnam's Guru is also releasing this Pongal, but it has been dubbed into Tamil from Hindi. Here's a look at the Pongal releases:

Owing to the festive season, the association has approached the government seeking consent to run new releases for five shows in theaters as opposed to four shows -- to cash in on the festive crowd.

Pokkiri

The theater owners association in a press release made the announcement yesterday. Now that the theater and multiplex rates are slashed, theaters are expecting full houses during the Pongal festive season.

Aalwar is the only movie to have got A...

Reason is here got from some source

Hari movie getting U Shocked

I know. I saw a preview of Aalwar and I must say, it's mind-blowing. Thala simply rocks as the tailor-made role done by chella.

To reinstate, there's NO ADULT content, minimal violence. You want entertainment, Aalwar's it for you.

As for the predicitions on D-day, Ajith's Aalwar will take first position, despite the ticket-rate slash issue. Lapping it up will be Pokiri or Thambarani (pundits are claiming the latter since Vishal's "hot property". Also note the U rating) Then Pokiri and/or Paruthi Veeran.

Veerasamy will be a C-grade movie, hence a flop. Tamil GURU depends whether people want to watch a dubbed version when they can watch the hindi one there itself. Course, this would benefit the rural folks.

which theatre and where did you see the movie...tell me nick...

U were the one who lied aadhi was booked for 21 days ROTFL

http://forumhub.mayyam.com/hub/viewtopic.php?p=318134&highlight=#318134

People its simple logic :

85 rupees is for bigger screen.... simple logic.... wholesale stores gives u cheaper prices bcoz u buy more.... retailers give it for more cost bcoz u buy less.

Sathyam is bigger screen... so the ticket price is low... see for varalaru its 95 rupees bcoz of smaller capacity.

IF such miscreants utter gibberish based on SOK [ 3 days ellam full olu ROTFL

] how come SATHYAM is screening AALWAR n MANIRATNAM's GURU IN SANTHAM?

Before commenting on 85 rupees to be cheap look at the rates of tickets on the image u posted for Devi theatre :

I wish this time, both film will be hit, ( sources from our friend circle who saw the preview)

POkiri:
Comic action movie, we can expect a jolly action movie, but story nothing new, a ordinary movie,
but for vijay fans, its releasing after one year, so i wish it will be hit. hype is high for the film, and more over SUNTV is there to give no 1 position, and SUN music is there to frquently play the songs.

Aalwar:
seems to be a different story, and guy who watched preview telling, its classical entertainer with good screenply, so not a ordinary movie. but , promotions are very low, but i sure, it will be hit

But when u see the previou releases, PMS and AAthi, PMS won the war but PMS doesnt had a good screenply, there was lot of negative comments also

if both Aalwar and pokiri are hit movie, again there will be comparsion, and which movie will be the more talk,

as a Ajith fan, Aalwar seems to be different story and screenply, Allwar And Ajith will be the talk of the town,

eventhough Pokiri is hit, its ordinary story movie, nothing fresh or different for tamil audiences.

Devi has sold very few tickets in counter and theatre people r selling tickets in black. Thats why that houseful board it seems

My friend in egmore has gone there 30 minutes back n informed me about it

Seems like they r doing this to get back the hefty sum they spent on buying the movie thinking ticket rates wont go down

I am not an alter ego of any other hubbers here.

I said you are right because of you talked with some sources in Theatre. And some of my friend said "ALwar" tickets are available in Sathyam and Kamala theatre. Now it proved wrong.

Still i have a confidence about the success of Vijay's Pokiri.

So i dont have any split personality like Ganga in Chardra Muki and Ambi in Anniyan.

And I booked ticked for pokiri in Mayajal on 14th.I will post my review on 15th .

Wait for one more week. Results will be out. Pokiri is the first blockbuster of the year 2007.

Vijay starrer Pokkiri has run into trouble with the distributors. Behindwoods has confirmed reports that Pokkiri was not screened today in the following areas: Ambattur, Tambaram, Koyembedu, Kolathur, Poonthamalee. Unconfirmed reports say that one of the theatres has been vandalized by fans for not screening the movie. There were many disappointed fans who had to leave theatres with heavy hearts.

Pokkiri

It is said Oscar Ravichandran is trying his best to solve this crisis as early as possible as he is facing a loss of upto 1.5 crores because of this issue. Behindwoods has learnt that it is the same old issue of Aadhi for which Vijay and his father SA Chandrasekar did not compensate the losses suffered by its distributors. After maintaining silence till the last minute, some of the distributors have raised their objection on the screening of the movie and prevented the reel boxes of the movie from reaching some theatres in Chennai city. Although there are efforts being carried out to solve this issue and release the movie as planned, there is good news from other areas of the state. Theatres in Nagercoil had a festive atmosphere and had the first show of Pokkiri at 6:00 AM, with Government permitting theatres to showcase five shows a days for new releases.
Paruthiveeran

Meanwhile another pongal release Paruthiveeran too is facing a crisis. It is learnt that Paruthiveeran has pulled out of the Pongal race. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the losses incurred by Sillunu Oru Kadhal would have prompted this crisis for Paruthiveeran. Remember it is Surya�s brother Karthee who is making his debut in Paruthiveeran. But on the other hand, close associates of Director Ameer say that the movie is still not complete and hence the delay. But there was no information or intimation from the production team in the postponement of the movie until the penultimate day of the release. Behindwoods will keep you updated on the developments.

My Friends Just called me after the evening show from vetri, which was only 80% full.
Mr. AANDAVAN had definitely given a wrong information.
The Buzz is that Pokiri sux and its a sure flop. one of my friends, who hailed aadhi, told that the 2nd half of pokiri was very bad, while the first half was ok.

Pokiri
Reviewer's Summary - Good

Language: Tamil
Year: January 13, 2007 in the U.S.
Actors: Vijay, Asin, Prakash Raj, Vadivelu, Nasser, Napoleon
Director: Prabhudeva
Producer: Ramesh Babu
Music: Mani Sharma

Pokiri - Fine Pongal Gift for Tamil Movie Lovers

Pokiri is a first class Pongal gift for Tamil movie lovers worldwide.

Loaded with charm, the highlights of Pokiri include an above average story, solid performance by Vijay ably supported by Asin and superb music.

A remake of the successful Telugu film of the same name starring Mahesh Babu and Ileana D'Cruz, Pokiri is a riveting and slick film focusing on the activities of a vicious criminal called Tamil (Vijay).

Unlike most Tamil movies where love occupies centerstage to the exclusion of everything else, director Prabhudeva has deftly integrated the love angle featuring the talented actress Asin into Tamil's violent life.

While Vijay's breakout performance in Pokiri sent our pulses racing, the glowingly beautiful Asin delights with a sparkling performance.

The love scenes featuring Vijay and Asin were done with finesse, particularly the scene where Asin learns to whistle.

Pokiri has more than its share of violence but the stunt scenes are mostly well handled by Tamil movie standards.

Music director Mani Sharma has done a superb job. Our favorite songs in Pokiri were Nee Mutham and En Sela Peru but we also liked Doli Doli, Vasantha Mulai and the Pokkiri theme music.

Prakash Raj is effective as the villain Ali Bhai.

Just when things had started to drag a bit towards the end, Pokiri throws in a clever twist adding to the pleasure of watching this film.

One thing Pokiri could have avoided is the Vadivelu comic angle. Most of the time, the comedy scenes involving Vadivelu are crude beyond belief.

In summary, Pokiri is a delightful movie and the clear winner in the Pongal race between Pokiri and Aalwar.

Pokiri has Ilayathalapathi Vijay playing the hero with Asin as his love interest. Prabhu Deva wields the megaphone for this action packed entertainer. Ramesh Babu produces this film for Sri Kanakarathna Movies. Music is by Mani Sharma and cinematography is taken care of by Nirav Shah. Prakash Raj also plays a prominent role in the film. Pokiri promises to provide as a package action, romance and sentiments, in the right proportion. Everyone knows that Vijay is adept at dance. Since this film has dancing sensation Prabhu Deva behind the camera, it goes without saying that the songs sequences would rock!

Aalwar is Ajith�s offering for this Pongal. Since this film comes fresh after the stupendous success of Varalaru, Ajith�s fans are much eager to watch this film. They are sure that the ultimate star would repeat the magic. Debutant Chella directs this flick and Mohan Natarajan is the producer. Music is by Srikanth Deva and camera is cranked by Rameshji. Dialogues have been penned by Ravi Maria. It�s a memorable Pongal for Asin as she is the heroine of this flick too! Sathyan, Lal and Vincent Asokan also play prominent roles in this film.

thats cool:D ahah:P random info:D

I think this is the appropriate forums to post my review on the movie i watched than actor vijay's forums.

It is a shame that vijay is in tamil cinema I came home after wasting my money and watching this nonsensical bunk called pokiri
what is new in it?nothing!

Why are vijay's films anti-women by default he utters lengthly dialogues with a wooden voice and fails miserably
there is an awful lot of double meaning dialogues--not really double meaning; they are more of other meaning.

Dance for the dole dole song was exceptionally good and hatsoff to vijay's dance sequence though the lyrics were just embarassing women and men alike.

viijay tried to step into Mahesh's shoe rather than creating one style of his own

this is following the step of aathi in becoming another disaster for vijay and vijay fans, be happy it's a blessing in disguise for vijay will start acting in reasonable films.

i should be paradoxically happy and sad because it was a free ticket for me, and i wasted almost three hours
cinema is art and entertainment; vijay's short term goal might be to dish out entertainment but his long term goal is to eradicate the good tamil cinema pokiri can be categorized neither art nor entertainment but irritation to the core.

even vijay fans won't find it interesting .
i'll be watching paruthi veeran soon the producer could have released two NT sivaji ganesan's movies instead of this pokiri and yet be smiling.

My review of Pokiri is in the Vijay thread.

Just an update of here. No one could even get tickets for Pokiri and in fact many people (who were online, ended up going to Azhwar b/c of the full shows for Pokiri...those who couldn't go to Pokiri yesterday returned today for Pokiri and we got the last tickets for it available)...so it's getting a great response here...HONEST.

I haven't seen Azhwar yet but the people who've seen it said it's good, (some people said it's very similar to Anniyan) so hoping to see it soon.

alwar has had a grand opening as usual. Ajith stars with Asin in this movie.

Pokkiri is also running to packed houses and it has Vijay and Asin in the lead roles.

By Moviebuzz
Hari has been taking his viewers on a guided tour of Tirunelveli, Tuticorin and Kanyakumari towns and villages in all his films right from Saamy days. The story, screenplay is based on ethos, culture, social fabric, caste conflicts and the dialects of south Tamilnadu.

The writer director�s latest Thamarabharani is no different. Here the hero�s name is Bharani taking a cue from the river Thamarabharani that flows through Tirunelveli town. All the characters, mansions, the background, villagers and locales are familiar to audiences who have seen Hari�s earlier films.

For the director, South Tamilnadu is like the wild west that you see in cowboy films of 50�s and 60�s. The characters speak loudly, sports walrus mustache, wears starched white dhotis and shirts, moves around in Mercs and white sumos and are always armed with arruval!

Bharani or Kettavan (Vishal), as he is called by friends is an angry young man and beats up anyone who even talks badly to his maama Saravanan (Prabhu) known as �Salt Saravanan� as he is in salt business. They live in a palatial bungalow along with Bharani�s mom (Rohini) and grandmother (Manorama). Their biggest rivals are PVS family (Vijayakumar, Nassar, Nadia Moidu and others).

Bharani sees Bhanu (Bhanu) and after a few meetings they start liking each other. But our poor hero does not know that PVS family is their own family as Sakunthala Devi (Nadia Moidu) is Saravanan�s wife and Bhanu is his cousin!! In fact, she had walked out on Saravanan as she could not digest her husband deep love for his sister and nephew. Now it is Bharani and Bhanu�s turn to bring the estranged couple together against all odds.

The story is nothing new and Hari seems to have been inspired by the Bharathiraaja classic Kizhakku Cheemayile. The director has this habit of populating his scripts with too many supporting characters and sub-plots into the main story resulting in mish-mash of too many things happening at the same time.

Ganja Karuppu and his comedy track is terrible and irritating. It�s a pity that we are so starved for good, genuine comedy in films. Comedians resort to some stupid, farcical jokes and lines which they think will make people laugh? (the so-called rape scene on TV while policemen are having food is an example)

Yuvan Shankar Raja�s music is ok with just one song Thaliyae.Thevai... sung by Hariharan and Bhavatharani that is pick of the album. Hari and cameraman Priyan has dressed up Bhanu to look like Nayanthara (in Ayya) The girl looks raw with no screen presence and very average looks.

Vishal plays his part competently but is there anything new from what he did in Sandakozhi, Thimiru or Sivapathikaaram? He excels in action scenes, though the manner in which he comes flying down and pins down the villain with his knee become repetitive. He has tried doing comedy in the first half but lacks the timing. The actor has to take care that he does not get typecast in future films.

Among the supporting cast it is Prabhu who shines. Nadia�s character with negative shades and Nassar as her brother- looks like caricatures, while Rohini grabs sympathy with her underplayed emotions.

Verdict: Average

Pokiri strikes it rich
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, January 16, 2007]

This Pongal absolutely belongs to Pokiri . The action-packed entertainer starring Vijay and Asin and directed by Prabhu Deva has emerged the clear winner. The movie has opened to 100 per cent collections all over the State. Similarly, it is collecting huge revenue in overseas markets too.

A typical Vijay-film, Pokiri with action-romance and humour at the right mix, has won rave reviews. Also Mani Sharma's music and Nirav Shah's slick photography have helped the movie's cause.

Expectations were sky-high since Vijay�s last release was almost a year ago.

Living up to all expectations is Pokiri.

Yes Navin,

You are right this is the best film that i've ever seen Laughing

, ungulukku manasatchiye illaya,

+'s Prakashraj's Acting, better then telugu, and some dance movements by vijay, simply awesome.

Flaws- Songs, Vijay's Dialouge delivery, Movie loses momentum, and Vijay looks dull...

IMO this can never be a Ghilli, I hate Tirupachi, Probably better tha Pudiya geethau

A typical Vijay Film .......it is a scene by scene remake of Mahesh's Film. I expected some change in the script and screenplay. honestly, i didn't find any change and i felt like watching the Telugu version with different star cast .....Song picturisations were different for a couple of songs and was good. I liked the small dance sequence where PD and Vijay dance together. That was excellent Mambalam song backdrop was nice.

.....Vadivelu's comedy track was better than Brahmi's ..........Suttrum Vizhi dance seq was awesome My favourite kid (gundu paiyan) was there too Asin looked good in this movie unlike Aalwar where her make-up was too much ( maybe she wanted to look better than Thala which eventually backfired her )

IMO, too much violence. This kinda violence is just nothing for Telugu audience but, i don't think it would impress Tamil audience...Some filthy double meaning scenes of asin could have been avoided. It would have been much better if Vijay have portrayed the character in his own style instead of copying Prince It didn't suit Vijay

People who have not watched Telugu Pokiri will enjoy this movie Vijay's voice modulation was not good b'cos he was trying hard to match Mahesh's modulation He should have sticked to his own style Ghilli was better than pokkiri.

I know nobody would accept an Ajith fan's review on pokkiri.. but, this is my honest review

Sify is paid to do Vijay's biasm. Never believe a thing they say.

However, the real winner of Pongal is GURU. It's taken a 80-90% opening in Chennai and other states compared to the likes of Pokkiri. With a trimmed bhang song and Maddy-Vidya smooch, the film is being appreciated by both critics and audience. Why the boost? Thank the engagement for happening.

Aalwar's in second place while Pokkiri's third. Remember that Pokiri had issues when releasing everywhere, and it only released in some parts of the south instead of all of them.

Even if Aalwar isn't a "ghilli", Thala is still AHEAD of Vijay. Kireedom's almost done and he's got the hyped Billa 07.

If sify is paid ,so be it .In today's world media is everything .SRK does it ..How many screens did Guru release in chennai or TN for that matter? It defintely cant be compared to any straight tamil film in TN.Expecting the movie is run if its good is normal.Expecting aalwar to run is not rooted in reality.Even if he is better than Vijay at the moment as u might argue, his attitude is his biggest downer.

Kalakkarae Chandru release ayidutcha?

From: nickraman on Tue Jan 16 18:21:24 2007.

If you actually read THE NEWS, GURU released from 75-115 screens. The trade has confirmed that in Chennai, it took the 98 percent opening in Chennai and South states while it was 80% in North, West and East states. In fact, the movie was trimmed in Chengalpet and some areas so the pacing can be fast. Last I heard that post "engagement" news Sunday night, GURU's attendance is going beyond 80% and it's on it's way to becoming one of the biggest hits of 2007.

Watched the 2 Pongal movies, I take Aalwar over Pokiri. The problem with Pokiri is that it's got no substance at all. The story is also not Prabhu deva's credit. It's Puri Jagan's. Comparing tamil with the original telugu is like comparing a black banana to a fresh banana. The black banana tastes the same, however, it's not as FRESH as the fresh one. Sure Aalwar is run of the mill, but it certainly garnered BETTER reviews than Pokirri. Indiaglitz goes too easy on Tamil reviews so really, you can't compare on that. They'll say stuff like "oh, it's a routine fare, but it's commendable and whatnot." Another plus point for Aalwar is that it actually RELEASED everywhere in the south while Pokirri didn't. So really? Thala is at advantage and his fan club members are promoting their thala's film as we speak. Heck, I wouldn't be suprised if Vishal's flick gets the better than Pokiri.

Sanjeevi brother,
Wouldn't term this one as yet another Jana/Anjaneya etc. IMO, It is better than those.

I agree with you. He made a mistake and I must say after giving movies like Villan, Varalaaru etc he should have been little more careful with the new director and the script.

I expect that Kireedom will satisfy us in terms of performance and the script. Billa will be good and I have full confidence on Vishnuvardhan.

Pokkiri Pongal !

http://sify.com/movies/tamil/boxoffice/fullstory.php?id=14370955

This week, it is a five day Pongal special report on box-office. It was �Pokkiri Pongal� all the way. The Vijay starrer took an amazing 97 percent opening from five city theatres in three days and is clearly the number one. The masses are loving it and they are coming back to see it again as Devi and all other theatres screening the film has kept ticket rates at Rs 40 and Rs 30!

Mani Ratnam's Guru (Hindi) had a head start over the Tamil films as it was released two days before, is doing roaring business and is at a steady 90 percent. After two days at the Sathyam big screen, it was shifted to a smaller screen to accommodate Ajit�s Aalwar, but still managed to be at number two due to steady collections. If 2006 ticket rates had prevailed, Guru, would have been in the number one position!

At number three is Aalwar which is creating shock waves in the trade. The famous Ajit opening was missing after day-one as the fans were hugely disappointed by the film. Added to that, the film opened in big screens like Sathyam, Sangam,Bharat, Kamala all with 1000 plus seating capacity, which added to its woes.

In the fourth position is Vishal's Thamarabharani, which carries the best report among Pongal releases as a family movie but could not take an opening due to the biggies. It may pick up if the opposition weakens.

Thala's generosity
- 18.01.2007
In giving as well as keeping it a secret, there's none to beat Ajith.

Because of the reduction in cinema ticket rates, the theatre owners came to a decision that in the name of minimum guarantee, no advance will be given to distributors. This upset the distributors who then approached the producers, asking them to reduce the area price. In reaction, the producers delved into the salary packet of the stars.

They demanded that heroes should reduce their acting fee, otherwise their films will not be released for Pongal. Vijay and Vishal did not accept that. 'Pokkiri' and 'Thamirabarani' got released anyway.

However it is reported that Ajith returned a part of his salary, that amounts to nearly 2 crores.

Ajith is indeed generosity personified!

seen azhwar just now my review

First half is good.. Second half is Good too but the first half is much better i guess... as second half u can guess whats gonna happen next

+ Ajith Only, less Violence , maile maile song:), teh movie clearly justifies the Punch dialogue.

-Asin comes only for songs and just a bit
Climax let me down ... wht the hell happend an explosion and then a Fax :O
-How could he survive 3 hits on the head ... mebbe a treatment or somesort no GOD's blessing okkk acceptable .. but no scar?? ( i hated this in Aathi too when the shirt burns but nothing happens to Vj or the shirt, Only kamal in VV had a scar ) not much worried abt that.
-Story seems to a Mixture of Citizen and Gentleman

overall i think this movie is better then Thirupathi but no way better then Varalaru!!!

This is my Sincere Review not Biased or anything

Cant you post without editing my post ?

Pongal releases � the initial Box Office status

By Behindwoods News Bureau.
January 19, 2007
Now that the Pongal fever and the initial obsession for the movies are over with, the movies that are in the race are starting to show their true colors at the box office. If initial reports are anything to go by then take our words for it: Pokkiri is emerging as a winner at the box office.

Thanks to the slashed ticket rates Pokkiri had the biggest of all the openings among the Pongal releases. The close competition came in from Ajith�s Aalwar and Vishal�s Thamirabarani. Popular dancer-cum-actor Prabhu Deva�s Directorial debut in Tamil lived up to its pre-release expectations. Reports suggest that the movie is running to packed halls as opposed to the other releases.

Pongal does not seem to be the sweetest time of the year for Ajith. Though the movie opened to full houses on Pongal, the next few days seems to be a let down. It can turn out to pick up in the later days to come. The third movie in the race is Thamirabarani. With diverse reactions at the box office, it is learnt that Thamirabarani is definitely catching up slowly.

Paruthiveeran hasn't seen the light of the day yet and if good reports and word of mouth of this 25th Jan release gets in motion, the other three movies might have a dent in their collections, specially in the B & C centers.

these reviewers get paid nicely to review a movie...if the movie has to be reviewed very nicely..then he will be getting unheard of sum....its the true with the critics.....I am just wondering how would a Ajith critic write about Aalwar...he will blast away.....as for vijay critic...no comments...as the critic already knows the shortcomings of vijay.....but in the case of ajith....he has proved that he is a good actor...and there will be heavy expectations from the people alike....so I am sure an ajith critic would have blasted the movie.....

anyways aalwar has turned out to be moderate with the lack of punch which the ajith fans were expecting for....but gear up for Kireedom....right now its Kireedom only....what has happened to the promotions of Kireedom...haven't seen a poster till date....

Guys dont worry much about AALWAR

its doing good bussiness,its a average movie,better than PMS and TPT

so nothing to worry about, i think family audiance will support AALWAR because of less violence

there is no glamour also so the film may create ripples the comming week, if it do that then AALWAR will be the winner

if not ,sorry to say, it gonna be great disaster in THALA CAREER

He has also added according to the box office status, both the movies share the same.., no big difference.., when i asked about the results in sify and behindwoods and news paper results.., his reaction is , he said not to beleive, its purely politics.....,

Last but not least he said, Producer and distributors of alwar are happy with the outcome...., he said no way they will loose the money by taking aalwar....,

anyways...this is not new to thala....he will learn the less on the hard way....our thala if he gives a flop..he will not cow down for a year.....our thala will come back with kireedom strongly...on thala day....

well im a sort of person who just loves to watch family sort of movies for example "Something..Something" as it a nice relief from all action movies ( i like them too ) but too many out nowadays !!

this story is set in tootukoodi and then a fight between 2 family ... Vishal shown as an angry boy and a girl follows him .. Vishal's uncle is prabhu and he gt business rivals and later he finds out this girl is the daughter of his uncle's business rivals so he winds her up n mess's up with her but later he finds out they are all family and the story unfolds when they say how they were split and vishal does sacrifies to get the family together!

there are plenty of twists and the songs are Very kool as well ... Director Hari done an extreme job getting this movie right plus the vishal in this movie matches the performance of Sanda Kozhi even the climax is shot that way

The movie is so darn good... it is better then Something something and surely will occupy either the No1 or No2 spot in the Box Office for sure !!

also a brilliant Family movie

Do u think Pokiri is block buster and alwar is flop if so Laughing

this is my reaction for you, you immatured guy, the main problem with u guyz is, u think that only sathyam, devi, Abirami, mayajaal theatres are in tamil nadu, hello we do have theatres in al over tamil nadu. I can also show you only 20% of the people sitting in weekend shows for pokiri in various districts but as u said It will be too uncivilised and unwarranted to post such snaps. Rolling Eyes

. Dont think you are too smart Laughing

. I dnt wanna reveal any distributors name. But look.., Truth Never triumphs...,

Even with the support yu are not able to sustain and get succeed against our thala....., neengaellam ethuku man paesreenga Laughing

Neenga solra maari padathuku koota varalaenna..., the shows would be reduced not increased..., as u guyz said alwar sold out less than pokiri.., but rleased more theatres than pokiri, a simple maths will show u Alwar has aquired the amount with less amount of distribution and more shows...., dont try to play cheap game like media that supports your Thalapathy, then there will be no difference between you and sify people Laughing

Small proof:

[1] Aazhwar - 124 shows daily - 30 screens (2nd weekend)
[2] Pokiri - 102 shows daily - 22 screens (2nd weekend)

(ippo 10:15 show start in 15 mins.Still gaali).Its bein removed from Sathyam next week.
Almost all the other movies in the same complex are running packed Sad

Chennai is a crater in Mars rite Laughing

jus look at www.thecinema.in
Weekend shows running completely empty Embarassed

And we already have lots of photos with 30% ppl seated in Kamala,Bharath theaters from our friends Smile

Shobana whatever stats u give at this point seems pointless. Aalwar is big, no doubt, but as far as reviews go Pokiri seems to be leading. Regardless of whether it emerges THE winner or not in the long run, it is definitely a Pokkiri Pongal as far as the merits of the masala entertainer go. Guru is THE best IMO. Vijay did NOT pay Ramakrishna, Bayarea, & others who said Pokiri is good and Aalwar isn'y. They spoke neutrally, which proves Pokiri had won this time.

had Ajith remaked a Mahesh' babu's blockbuster, it could've been a super hit, but he did not. it is easier to remake than to make.

if majority of Ajith fans did not like it, it will not click with common audiences. the media is against him which is a fact. sify tore aalwar as this was the worst film ever. suntv gave it 4th place and people diffuse negative reviews.

it was done by a certain politically influenced party. Ajith is alone fighting the media and cinema. how long can you block the the fire in a man? he'll do the needful to send media and cine related people into hibernation

See there double clearly :

Opening Lines for TAMIL POKIRI

Quote:

Pokkiri is a power packed mass masala entertainer. If you are looking out for some fun and time-pass entertainment then Prabhu Deva and Vijay combo is sure to make your day.

Thrill-a-minute is the calling card of this unpretentious film which plays to the gallery. Superbly choreographed action and song sequences, fast moving storyline laced with Vadivelu’s comedy, romance and subtle sentiments - all make this film a festival treat.

Opening Lines For Telugu Pokiri

Quote:

If you like Mahesh Babu, well then you will enjoy Pokiri, a typical formula potboiler that is etched out of a Hollywood film with various scenes from Tamil and Malayalam films. The highlight is ‘Prince’ who looks cool, hip and is in complete control.

So what’s wrong? The plot, that’s truly ancient and the treatment is shoddy! Sorry, Poori Jaganath- there is not even one single original scene in the film which is watered down version of the Johhny Depp- Al Pacino Donnie Brasco which was already remade into Malayalam as Evar starring Jayaram and Biju Menon. Added to that the comedy scenes are lifted from a Tamil comedy track!

I have never heard anyone calling asin as a good pair for vijay.... though he tried to repeat the rasigan techniques in pokiri also Smile

Quote:

Whilst on the subject, we guess that Vijay’s earlier movies Rasigan and Visnhu have had romantic scenes that would make Pokkiri look little. Agree with us?

Glamour comes with the package...she was going to have to get glamorous sometimes...The difference is that in the telugu Illeana had the revealing costumes and the camera worked overtime in the tamil one. But she still didn't wear "revealing" costumes...

Look you guys have to accept the truth sometime, and some Ajith fans have...I don't think Pokkiri ran solely because of Asin, but if saying that helps you deal with the success of Pokkiri, I guess it's up to you.

Dear Ajith/Vijay fans,

I released POKKIRI and AALWAR in NJ, POKKIRI did well in box-office, but AALWAR even didn't give tough to POKKIRI. For example say POKKIRI gathered 500 people in a day, after two weeks completed AALWAR s' total crowd around 350.

AALWAR movie itself has not been shaped well in all perspectives (Story,Camera,Music and other).Here after Ajith should take care of these areas or he has to select best people in the respective areas. That is the only way Ajith has to regain his VAALI place. Yesterday I watched VAALI in K TV, actually he did well in that movie, but in AALWAR his expressions' are little behind the average. Is this directors mistake..? Or Ajiths' mistake..?

sorry but, you moved to a different theatre which most of them were not informed earlier. They have put up ads everywhere that Aalwar would be releasing in Moviecity complex and Pokkiri at CinePlaza......looks like you moved Aalwar to Cineplaza on saturday without even informing the Moviecity guys.....most of them were not aware of Aalwar being played at Cineplaza

Chennai box-office - (Jan 19-21 )
"Pokkiri" rocks at the Chennai box-office! It has created a record 28 shows (Jan 14-20) continuously houseful at Devi (1170 seats) where tickets are priced (Rs 30 & Rs 40) less than some theatres in NSC area! Guru continues its stranglehold and is the second position. There is a marginal improvement in the collection of Thamarabharani which has moved up to the third place. Thiruvilayadal Arambhamis steady at fourth place while Aalwar has slipped to fifth position.

Hi Atqsar72,

dats okay...it all happens........ i asked b'cos i was disappointed after going to moviecity on sat .......and for ur question, i would say it's definitely the director's mistake.....IMHO, Ajith was not used properly ..........i think it's time for him to concentrate on the scripts as well, instead of being a director's actor

hmm...by the way sify has termed pokiri as super hit....and aalwar as flop....

sify is very good at all these....

Quote:

Oh yeah and all the other websites and theatre reports from the US and London are good at this too... Rolling Eyes

oh Yeah SIFY is 100% PURE when it comes to genuine news and Leo referred to all websites and media in his post. Didn't he ?

Behindwoods terms AALWAAR as an average. FYI ! Cool

SIFY terming this as a flop is pretty ridiculous esp when the hero slashes 2 crores! so, SIFY analyses everything on budget and collections of the movie ! Laughing

Leo - My Friend, Please avoid shouting at other movies and we need ur work in our thread. Smile

selva, I was expressing my anger towards sify....well you know it...anyways...no worries...as this is not new to us...

What happend to pongal release movies?

I heard that 'Alwar' became 'super duper flop'.

What happend to 'King(?) of Opening? My brother told me that Even in the first day, Madurai theatre-la kaathu vaangucham

people are coming to watch 'Pokkiri'. but not much crowd.(may be due to the movie released in 4 screens)after 3 week idhuvum kaaathu vaangidum...

Guru failed in Madurai.

So only 'pokiri' became hit among pongal releases.

Finally saw Aalwar...

I have to say it wasn't as bad as some hubbers said it would be. It seemed similar to Paramasivan with revenge again as the backdrop but other than that it was an enjoyable film. Very Happy

Ajith's intro scene was spectacular...I was awed by how much the classic Krishna attires suits him...At first I thought I would laugh but his posture and subtle actions just captivate you. Again he has a serious, can't- be -caught- smiling role, which I don't because as Vivek said in the movie...siricha avaru azhaga iruppari ana sirika mattari. I missed seeing the energetic, ethusiastic Ajith but again he needed an almost Zen-like serious conviction to his role, which he did with aplomb. Wink He clearly carries the film on his shoulders.

Some Ajith fans were saying that Asin didn't care about this film/betrayed Ajith and all Rolling Eyes but she looks as bubbly as ever in this movie, especially in the songs. Her role is a little pathetic/unlikeable initally because she doesn't seem like a good person and her reasons for following Ajith are not really justified. The chemistry that the two shared in Varalaru is missing here due to the fact that the storyline and Ajith's character doesn't allow it. But towards the end, when Ajith gets arrested, both Ajith and Asin convey the romantic emotions through their eyes which was cute.

Vivek and Manorama were cute and definitely added to the proceedings. Keerthi Chawla just got lost in the whole screenplay I guess. Sadly I didn't even realize she was the other heroine until the "let's just be friends scene." The songs, hearing didn't really hook me, but the picturization was awesome, esp Sollitharava...Ajith and Asin looked adorable.

There were some slow parts here and there, but overall it was pretty entertaining and one can definitely see that hard work put into it. Even the violence wasn't too bad compared to Pokkiri...If this film has released after Thirupathi or something, it definitely would have become a hit I guess, but expectations were sky high after Ajith's fantastic comeback with Varalaru... Whatever it is, it's worth a watch or two.

Thanks, I try...kb, I meant the songs when heard didn't really stick with me, but thanks to Ajith ( he was much different in the sons) and Asin's cute expressions, the songs were nice.

The only reason why Thamirabharani is running ok in Paradise and Chandiran is bcoz no tickets for Pokkiri are available at Devi,Udhayam,Mini Udhayam Razz

Vishals biggest hit Sandakozhi collected 10 crores Cool
