I guess its a new concept! Covering 3 cities in one single day! Birthyday, Audio Launch, Publicity, Velaikku velaiyum aachu alamaariyum vellai aachu
This is more interesting than the launching in SingaporeMalaysia, or low profile launch in satyam theatre which won't help for publicity!

Good title, Sakala. Even I believe it is a good idea to cover three cities in one go for the audio launch. Like you said, it should be more effective than the standard ones held outside of India or in Sathyam....

Kamal hires chartered plane for audio launch
It is not just his films that Kamal Haasan wants to be different. It looks like even the events surrounding his film need to be unique. The actor is holding the audio launch of his upcoming Viswaroopam in three cities on the same day, a first in Tamil cinema! The audio release function will take place in Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai on November 7, which also happens to be the actor's birthday.
Speaking to CT, the actor's spokesperson said that the actor will be attending the launch in all three cities. "We have hired a chartered plane for the day. Kamal sir will be first flying to Madurai to launch the audio. Next, he will release it in Coimbatore and finally, in Chennai," he said.
However, the plans for each city are still being put in place. "We are working out details like who the guests will be for each event and what kind of events each one will have," he added.
The music for the trilingual has been composed by the Bollywood trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.Viswaroopam, which also stars Pooja Kumar, Andrea, Bollywood actor Rahul Bose and directorShekar Kapoor, will also be the first Indian film (and second in the world) to be released in the new Auro 3D sound format.

"In India it is considered as an entertainment media. But is not considered as an essential commodity (service) like hospitals"
:scratchhead: What kind of a lame comparison is this?
"the cost of entry tickets is less compared to the cost of Cola sold in developed countries"
Naanga developing country kooda ille Sir,pin-nokki poyitirukkom.India is developed/developing only for the well networked privileged few.
"Asked whether the increase in price of movie tickets would not affect the common man, he shot back "people buy a jeans for Rs 10,000 and shoes for Rs 5,000. Either you want to drink tea at a roadside tea shop or you want to drink tea at a five star deluxe hotel, the decision is yours. I definitely support it (the idea of increasing the cost of film tickets)".
This makes sense.Creator prices his/her product and it is upto the consumer to decide.However this is possible only if the creator does not get benefits from the government.Tax exemption adhu idhu-nnu ketta,they will interfere in the pricing.

Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroop' to Be Released in Barco's Auro 3D Cinema Sound Format
http://www.dcinematoday.com/dc/pr.aspx?newsID=2990
Barco, a global leader in digital cinema technology, is pleased to announce that one of India’s leading film producers, Kamal Haasan, has selected Barco Auro 11.1 for his next action thriller ‘Vishwaroop’, slated for release in January 2013.
What’s more, Barco’s 3D sound technology is quickly gaining traction in India, with installations scheduled at SPI Cinemas (Sathyam) in Chennai, the Prasad facilities in Hyderabad and Mayajaal in Chennai, one of India’s largest 16-screen multiplexes.New possibilities in storytelling.“When I first heard demonstrations of what Barco’s 3D sound technology is capable of, I immediately saw the potential for my next movie,” comments Kamal Haasan, producer of ‘Vishwaroop’. “As Barco Auro 11.1 creates the most realistic sound effects, I believe it will definitely bring added value to ‘Vishwaroop’. The movie is an action thriller, with a lot of fighter planes flying overhead and other sound-driven visuals – so the system’s immersive and realistic sound effects will surely add to the suspense.”
The future of cinematic sound
“We are really proud that Barco Auro 11.1 is being installed at Indian theaters and at leading exhibitors around the world. This is further evidence that it’s the future of cinematic sound,” says Brian Claypool, Senior Director Strategic Business Development at Barco. “Thanks to the efforts of Kamal Haasan, Indian moviegoers will be treated to an unforgettable movie experience.”
Three layers of sound
Barco’s 3D sound format is designed with three layers of sound (surround, height and overhead) rather than the singular layer offered by traditional surround sound. Adding more than just speakers overhead, its three layers of sound come from all around and above the listener, transforming conventional cinema audio into a fully immersive 3D sound experience. As the system is fully compatible with existing formats, only a minimal hardware and installation investment is required to upgrade from traditional 5.1 to Barco Auro 11.1.

I think after Alavandhan, he has picked up a subject which has violence.
Eventhough DASA had that "hook piercing scene" and "breaking necks", other than that I do not remember seeing much violence in recent Kamal Films.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Looks quite interesting though. I feel that these scenes would be happening in a flash in the movie now.

If these scences were objected by Censor board, then how about Adhi Baghawan Rap : The lyrics goes like this :

"b4 the aka splatters body parts on the ground"
(and much much more like "blood thristy", "anihilate", etc. etc.)
Does song lyrics and picturisation get different treatment from the censor board !?!

'Kamal Haasan and I have similar values'
Apocalypse Now. Face/Off. The Matrix. The Lord of the Rings. The Great Gatsby. These acclaimed movies have one person in common - Hollywood producer Barrie M. Osborne. The 68-year-old producer was in the city recently to attend a media and entertainment conclave helmed by Kamal Haasan. Having recently worked with Amitabh Bachchan in The Great Gatsby, he's in talks now with the Ulaganayagan for a Hollywood project. And he got chatting to CT about production, Kamal, cinema and more...
So is this your first trip to Chennai?
I have been here several times before. I was doing the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) and Madhu Sudhanan, who's a VFX supervisor here, desperately wanted to work on the film and pursued me through the making of the movie. Eventually, I took him seriously. It was tricky for me because Peter Jackson wanted all the work to be done at Weta but I did give him some pieces of the film and we became friends through that. But I haven't had time to explore the city. On my next trip, I think I'll incorporate a little vacation here!
What's your perception of Indian cinema?
I like the song-and-dance but it's a different way of storytelling. For western films, you can't stop the narrative and do a musical piece. You'll lose the audience if it doesn't have a narrative flow. In Indian films, I suppose there's such enjoyment at watching the performance, the music and the choreography that it reflects the mood of the moment.
Any Indian collaborations...
I am hoping to work with Kamal Haasan and I have watched his films. I was going to do pictures with Skekhar Kapur and Vidhu Vinod Chopra and I have watched some of their films. I have seen Ashutosh Gowariker's Lagaan and a few south Indian films too.
How did the association with Kamal Haasan begin?
When I was at FICCI in 2008 that Madhu introduced us. We talked about doing something then but it never materialized. More recently, I met him when he was finishing Viswaroopam. We started to pitch ideas and he had an idea that I liked. It's too premature to talk about it in detail. I guess I am superstitious. (Smiles) What we know is we share some similar ideas and similar values and we want to work together. And I am committed to making it work.
You reportedly got a funding of US$200 million from a company in Qatar to make a movie on Prophet Mohammed.
I have been talking to a group there about a picture about Prophet Mohammed. Again, that was a premature announcement. I'm still talking to them and advising them; what my role in that film will be is yet to be determined. But I liked them and I liked what I believe their objectives are. I think if it's well told people will embrace it worldwide regardless of their religion. If you are doing a film about Mohammed, you obviously can't show him. Now if you can't show him, then it has to be dramatically about people around him and the evolution of the religion and its effect. That's what my idea is. It's very challenging.
You are aware of the recent controversy around the movie Innocence of Muslims.
I never saw that movie. From what I have read about it, it was a poorly done production and it sounded like it had a political agenda. I do believe that you should be able to say whatever you want to about anything. However, I think it was a bad idea to make that film. You should make movies that people embrace and create a commonality amongst men, not hatred.
You have been a producer of the most commercially successful films like LOTR and Matrix. How much did you contribute to them?
When I worked on Godfather II and All the President's Men, I was a trainee getting people coffee and so on but making a contribution none the less. Lord of the Rings was Peter's idea based on Tolkien's work and he orchestrated that film. But I helped tremendously on that both from a logistical standpoint and from managing the relationship with the studio; from helping when it was so overwhelming in marshalling the right group to getting story issues resolved. I was very involved in that film figuring out how to get the movie delivered against all odds when we were up against a huge amount of pressure on the delivery of the third film. Of course, it was Peter that got it done but I actually made it possible in many ways.
Have you never thought about directing a film?
On LOTR, I did some second unit directing and I think I am pretty good at that but that is not directing actors. Do I think I could direct actors? I have no idea if I could. I didn't particularly have the ambition to do that. I like writing and producing. I haven't written anything but I have some good stories.
So what attracts you to a project?
First and foremost, it's the screenplay. Then it's the director, cast and the key crew that's going to work on the film; some of which I may have a voice on who those people are depending on the project. If I don't have a voice on who those people are, I won't work on the film unless I feel I can have a collaborative relationship with them. I must say most of the time my judgments are fairly good and I make the right choices. So it's script first, then the people involved and what my role would be - if the role's challenging, interesting and one that allows me to make a contribution.
What do you think is the future of cinema?
Very good question but very hard to predict. I think cinema will continue to do well. Certainly in the US, the economic downturn hurt the film business. It drove production levels down somewhat and had an effect on what people make in the film industry but I think that's a cycle. The film industry, like all industries in the US, will bounce back and it's starting to. Some healthy things come out of that like how much money is spent on a film. Now how you choose to make a movie will affect the budget of the film. In big blockbuster films, the money is not spent recklessly. It's spent to compete in the marketplace and if you want to do gigantic VFX movies, they will cost a lot of money. The VFX alone on these blockbuster films can cost between US$30-50 million dollars. You need to zero in on what you need to tell a story at a cost you can afford.
Your thoughts on indie cinema... I think it's cool. (Laughs) What's interesting is trying to figure out how to tell a story. I think you can do interesting things in independent cinema. And I don't think it's any easier to make a film in indie cinema.
And who are you rooting for this upcoming election - Obama or Romney? Obama!

Sandy’s Desi Cousin Nilam Alters Kamal Haasan’s Plans
MUMBAI: Kamal Haasan’s lofty plans have fallen prey to Sandy’s desi cousin Hurricane Nilam which has stuck the Southern coastal regions.
Plans of a simultaneous 3-city music release for his new film ‘Vishwaroop’ on November 7 (Kamal Haasan’s birthday) have been seriously altered.
While earlier the event was supposed to unfold in huge open-air theaters simultaneously in Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai those plans have now been drastically revised.
Informs Kamal Haasan, “Nilam has restricted our plans severely. Because of her we can’t have the music launch in open-air stadiums, as planned. That would mean a very wet and soggy attendance. We’d now have to have the music function in covered areas. The attendance would have to be serious scaled down from the original 15,000 people at each venue.”
Quips Kamal Haasan, “Nilam is such a spoilsport. Such is life – man proposes, woman disposes.”

I am not against any religion: Kamal Haasan
The Auro 3d version trailer of Kamal’s Viswaroopam was released today (Nov 7) morning along with a media interaction at Satyam cinemas.
Speaking in response to questions from the media after the screening Kamal said, ‘Auro 3D is a special sound system that enhances the sound effect. It seems as if it’s almost coming straight into your head and not just from all sides. Satyam cinemas has specially installed this at my behest and so have 30 odd screens in TN where the film will be screened using Auro 3D. It would make one feel immersed into the sound and enhance the effect of the film.”
Asked if the film was anti terrorism, anti Islamic terrorism or against Muslims, Kamal replied, “I am not against any religion and I respect humanity in general. I celebrate the spirit of mankind, not festivals in particular. So I would not disrespect anyone. My film is also like that. As a civic society we have to find out why terrorism exists at all and analyze if we can find a solution to it. Viswaroopam makes a statement though I don’t know if you can call it a solution.”
On the UA certificate he clarified, ‘It would need a certain maturity to see the film that’s why perhaps it was granted.’

என்னடா பொளுது போயிருச்சே இன்னும் ஒண்ணும் நடக்கலையேன்னு பாத்தேன், நடந்துடுச்சி
விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை முதலில் எங்களுக்கு திரையிட்டுக் காண்பிக்கவேண்டும் : தமிழ்நாடு முஸ்லீம் முன்னேற்ற கழகம்
நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் இயக்கி நடித்து இருக்கும் விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை முதலில் தங்களுக்கு திரையிட்டு காண்பிக்கவேண்டும் என்று தமிழ்நாடு முஸ்லீம் முன்னேற்ற கழகம் கோரிக்கை விடுத்துள்ளது.
முஸ்லீம் முன்னேற்றக் கழகத்தின் தலைவர் ரிஃபான் இது தொடர்பில் பேசுகையில், "நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசனின் விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தில் முஸ்லீம்களை தீவிரவாதிகள், வன்முறையாளர்கள் என்பது போல சித்தரித்து உள்ளதாக அறிகிறோம். தமிழகத்தில் கடந்த சில ஆண்டுகளாகவே சுய லாபத்துக்காக முஸ்லீம் விவகாரங்களைக் கையில் எடுத்துக் கொண்டு, அவர்களை வன்முறையாளர்கள், தீவிரவாதிகள் என்பது போலவே காண்பித்து படங்கள் எடுத்து வருகின்றனர். ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் போரை முன்னிறுத்தி கதை பின்னப்பட்டது போல விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தின் பல காட்சிகள் இருப்பதாக அறிந்தோம்.
எனவே, விஸ்வரூபம் திரைப்படத்தை மனித வள மேம்பாட்டு ஆணையம் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் , மற்றும் எங்கள் அமைப்பினை சார்ந்தவர்களுக்கு முதலில் போட்டுக் காண்பிக்க வேண்டும். அந்த படத்தில் சர்ச்சைக்குரிய காட்சிகள் இருந்தால் நீக்கிவிட்டு திரையிடட்டும். இதுதான் எங்களின் வேண்டுகோள்" என்றும் கூறியுள்ளார்.
இதற்கிடையில் நேற்று தனது பிறந்த நாளை முன்னிட்டு கமல் தமிழக முதல்வரை சந்தித்தார். இந்த சந்திப்பும் கூட, படத்தை திரையிட எந்தவித தடையும் இல்லாதவாறு பார்த்துக் கொள்ளத்தான் என்றும் கூறப்படுகிறது.

I only hope he has done a thorough home work, in case the main story is about Afghanistan-Terrorism-USA. It's unbelievably complicated with various actors, interest groups, dynamics, political agendas and many more and it is certainly not an easy task to convey things within 3 hours. I really do not want to see him glorifying any one particularly, Osama and Taliban or for that matter any actor that is related to Afghanistan and the war. None of them deserve any kind of glorification or justification. I have this feeling that he will try to play to the gallery by blaming everything on the USA. I am really looking forward to this movie, only to see how far he succeeds in portraying the real situation of Afghanistan and the war.

Remember Hiroshima ; Remember Pearle Habour

In Viswaroopam trailer
His death cannot wash all sins !
Sins comitted by Whom ? Which side is he in (I strictly mean the character) ?
clue - We cannot celebrate death of A MAN as Diwali !
Now its your capacity and understang that comes into picture. Growing up reading the history told by the winners we tend feel that he is blaming USA.
Whatever it is, good attempt and I have confidence on Kamal to give us an excellent Entertainer.
[I am one of the minority who got stonned when I said Alavandhan was good ! Further I said that "for the first time in Indian Cinema I see terror on Screen" - That scene where the Lorry explodes and Motta Kamal walks - A venomous walk, looks like a snake walking at you - Thinking about it, hair raising now also. It was FDFS at SSR Pankagam Saligramum. At that time there was no Online booking & Number of theatres were limited. Got to get the tickets "Mannan" Style. Potti varala, show retarded, huge crowd, fights .. excellent days / fan experience.
Same goes to Guna (Chandran) & Anbe sivam (Avm).
But now they consider these movies as Cult. Funny world - as Kamal predicts]

The dialogue in the latest trailer "enna irunthaalum oru manushaa seththatha ippadi kondadanumaa" (not verbatim) is I presume is about Osama's death and celebrations in America. ( I remember Shruthi Haasan tweeting the same at the time Osama was killed). Intha maathiri maempoakkana karuthukkaL in the name of Manitha Naeyam, is very juvenile thinking and of course 'playing to the gallery'.

நீச்சல் தெரியாமல் கடலில் கால் நனைப்பவரல்ல கமல் என்பதற்கு இதுதான் நல்ல http://www.tamilcinema.com/CINENEWS/images2/ameer09.jpgஉதாரணம். ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் நடைபெறும் ஒரு சம்பவம் 'விஸ்வரூபம்' படத்தில் மிக முக்கியமான பகுதியாக இருக்குமாம். இதில் அவர் முஸ்லீம்களை தீவிரவாதிகளாக காட்டியிருக்கிறாரா, இல்லையா என்பதை இப்பவே யூகிக்க முடியாது. ஆனால் ஒரு சின்ன பிரச்சனை கூட வந்து விடக் கூடாது. அப்படி வந்தாலும் அதை எப்படி சமாளிக்க வேண்டும் என்று மண்டையை கசக்கிய கமலின் அசகாய யோசனைதான் ஒரு முக்கிய வேடத்தில் அமீரை நடிக்க வைத்தது.
ஒரு நாளைக்கு ஐந்து வேளையும் தொழுகை நடத்தும் பக்தி நிறைந்த முஸ்லீம்தான் அமீர். 'இறைவன் புறத்திலிருந்து சாந்தியும் சமாதானமும் உண்டாகட்டும்' என்று போகிற இடமெல்லாம் பிரார்த்திக்கும் அவர், எந்த காலத்திலும் முஸ்லீம்களுக்கு எதிரான கருத்துக்களுக்கு துணை போக மாட்டார் என்ற நம்பிக்கை அவரது மதத்தினருக்கு உண்டு. அவரையே ஒரு முக்கியமான ரோலில் நடிக்க வைத்தால் எல்லா பிரச்சனைகளையும் அவர் பார்த்துக் கொள்வார். நமக்கு சாந்தியும் சமாதானமும் நிச்சயம் கிட்டும்' என்று கமல் கணக்கு போட்டிருப்பார் போலிருக்கிறது.
படத்தில் அமீர் நடித்திருக்கும் இந்த கவுரவ தோற்றம்தான் படத்தின் சிக்கலை நீக்கி கவுரவத்தை தேடித் தரப்போகிறது விஸ்வரூபத்திற்கு.
வாவ்... கமல் ஒரு தீர்க்கதரிசியேதான்!

Fingers crossed. I found that particular dialogue in the trailer to be very juvenile. Of course many who are going to watch the movie hardly know anything about the 'Real' issue of Afghanistan, so who knows, such things might go well with them. Originally Posted by joe

Guess it would be better not to count the chickens before they have hatched. Yes the movie does seem to run the risk of suffering from superficiality. But I honestly feel we should probably wait before passing any comments on the treatment of the subject. I am equally excited about the movie as you. Hopefully we could get some insights from you about how Kamal's handled the issue when the movie releases. Originally Posted by Roshan

Korean women were forced to the war front to serve the Imperial Japanese Army as sexual slaves, called comfort women..." - from wikipedia.
i guarantee you wont get any sympathetic response - likewise, ask some vietnamese abt china's attitude towards them ! vietnamese immigrants in the US cannot outlive the terrors that haunts them even today (from the past from chinese aggression).
and ask sri lankan tamils in canada and elsewhere abt what they have gone through last 20 years, or, perhaps the worst of these scenarios, ask a sudanese refugee with no family, friends - having lost all of them in a single day - abt what the sudanese govt with the aid of chinese weapons did and continue to do in chad and darfur!
its a complex world, with no realistically simple solutions - interestingly, no journalist worth his/her salt will ever have a discussion with Kamal abt the above - world history, wartime crimes etc - am sure it would be a deeply engrossing conversation - and will do ample justice to the thinking man that Kamal is - instead, avar kitta poi "neenga lip-to-lip muthham kodukkareenga - adhu yaaen ?", ippadi asattuthhanamaa / arai nijaar thanamaa / silrathanam + kepmarithanam kalandha kelvi kekkaraanga - aanaa adhukkum madhippu koduthhu andha manushan badhil solraaru paarunga, anga thaan orey pullaripps!

Exactly.. If that scene is seen by an american or a japanese, it will make sense to them. Even part of the motto of Pearl Harbor Survivor Association is 'Remember Pearl Harbor' and FDR told it will live in infamy. Pearl Harbor death is around 2500.. But that made US to enter to the war giving a casualty of almost 500000 soldiers which is more than Atomic bombing civilian death. So it depends on Kamal's perception why that dialogue was written that way. Can't support and can't ridicule without knowing Kamal's perception. Originally Posted by irir123

I can appreciate good music irrespective of the composer. Here it is plainly clear, that this movie has very good music.
I can also see that some so called kamal fans here are hopeless people who can't do anything better than nit picking and polambifying .

About Audio release only,maiam status is "vegu viraivil " and we are on November 20th.
Some goof up's have happened,postponing audio launch citing weather conditions when Nilam had come and gone,refusing to announce release date saying it's a challenge to release 3000 prints(Bollywood-il sarva saadharanam,is not a technological challenge also).
Hopefully,it will surmount all these obstacles(some are self inflicted IMO)and the quality will be worth the wait.

Nov,
Having a trail show is indeed a good move.Filmmakers(the best of them)can get emotional about their movies and overlook faults.A trail show can get them to the ground and if done well in advance of a WW release,will have time for corrections.
At the same time,in a highly politicized,crab mentality industry,how will he ensure vested interests don't get inside the show and use the ever hungry media monster to spread wrong opinion on the film?

I think announcing Jan 11 2013 (I forshadowed right from the time, Subhash Jha wrote about Auro 3D and film release to Jan 2013) was the best date (and ideal) for all three versions. When MX released in 2005, it went up against CM (Tamil) and a Salman Khan film (Hindi version). This will be the first time to virtually have no competition up North (there's no big hindi release until republic day.) As far as Pongal releases go, no one has really announced their date, they've simply tossed their hat into the fray. Akin to saying, I'm going to climb himalayas before actually doing it.
Slight dig when I go back to Robo, it had to face a 2 hindi films (despite being a dubbing + media reviews), but ended up as above avg grosser. End dig. So we will be all set but only if Sir goes and pushes his film to the media.
-
From: Arvind Srinivasan on 30th November 2012 10:26 PM [Full View]
True but I guess wrt the North, the success of the film solely depends on the promotions. If you take Robot, the hindi version, there was a tremendous hype about the movie. The rajini mania took care of it and the promotions prior to release made it even better. But sadly there has been minimal effort if not nil from Kamal till now. The last time he addressed the NI media was in iifa which was six months ago.People would have long forgotten about the film by now. So I feel he needs to pull his socks up asap with just 40 days left for the release.

If my understanding is right,Airtel DTH users will be able to watch this movie by paying 20 or 30 bucks and schedule the show timing as per their convenience.
The catch would be that irrespective of the fate of the movie at the BO,they will put it up for viewing within a month of release.
Then,there would be a seperate satellite deal,right?
-
From: Anban on 1st December 2012 09:59 PM [Full View]
anyway the movie is going to be released in Youtube the same day of release.. and ppl will watch it without giving money... this is better.. as ppl outside India can also watch ..
get the profit before release.. and share whatever theatre collection with theatre owners .. so that nobody loses any money ..
the premiere is supposed on the night before the release.. !!

Assumed" premiere" as in a show for industry colleagues.
Then VR will hit theatres and youtube simultaneously while AIRTEL DTH subscribers will get to watch it a day earlier.
How much on the youtube deal or adhu free-ya(doesn't make sense).
Pudhusa irukku but I guess this will pull down the rates for theatrical release and the satellite deal.
If the product is good and everyone makes money,no complaints but people will talk that film didn't get a proper buyer and hence was taken directly on TV.There is always resistence to new ideas-nnu vida vendiyathu dhaan.
Who knows,this might turn out to be a boon esp for small films in future.
Anyways,let's await an official confirmation.
-
From: pushpak on 2nd December 2012 05:43 AM [Full View]
Cinefan,
If it happens, it will not be 20-30 Rs. Even for other "premier" movies which they show after 30 days of release, the charge is ~50/-.
So this will be atleast 100.
Now I have to switch to Airtel or what !!!!!!
But watching the first time sitting in a room on a 32" screen is unacceptable... Better wait an additional day...
-
From: Anban on 2nd December 2012 07:22 AM [Full View]
I think that the rate had to be more than 300. Anyway pirated print will get to YouTube in one day .. they can block it easily these days ..
-
From: pushpak on 2nd December 2012 08:21 AM [Full View]
Even with 300 many families may prefer that to avoid the traffic / save time and still a better deal if atleast two watch the movie.
A non-Kamal fan watched the trailer from theater and sounded so excited about the movie. especially about the dance sequence..
-
From: Cinefan on 2nd December 2012 08:44 AM [Full View]
Pushpak,
You are right,charges are about 50,for a film gettting released directly on DTH,will be higher.
This is on demand and cannot be overpriced,guess will be 150 range.They would have worked out the potential b4 coughing up 50c(assuming all this true).
But yes,this will be only a part.There is an audience which will want to watch it in theatre,the you and me types.
Enna,distributor/theatre owner will resist and will not want to pay any fancy amounts.He will have to most probably get theatres on rent,cut out the distributor and release.
Edho try panraru,will set a trend if it succeeds.
Estimate that such deals will greatly favour small films or big films too if producer is not gettting the rate demanded and he/she is supremely confident on the product.
Let's see how things pan out.

[/[QUOTE]
That is the point. If it comes in HD quality (DTH) in TV it will hit the multiplex viewership big time. That is because a major portion of the multiplex viewers go there not just for the 'theater effect' but the fact that the normal theaters cannot be visited with families due to various reasons. So this crowd will watch only from TV and that is not a good news for any distributor.
Any new concept can be good... But watching it FDFS with whistles and claps.. nothing can beat it...

From: ajaybaskar on 2nd December 2012 09:02 AM [Full View]
Can't the film be recorded and be made available in the torrents before the show starts off in the theatres?
Of course, people associated would've thought of all these factors but just wanted to know how they'll prevent that from happening.
OTOH, there are many positives to this initiative. Even before the film's theatrical release, the producer is safe. The distributors/theatre owners will get their copies at a reduced price compared to the previous Kamal movies and therefore will enjoy higher revenues. Airtel DTH, a company which is finding its feet in TN, will get a major boost in mileage. A win-win-win situation. Genius!!

The whole idea of watching a newly released movie on your TV set is interesting. But again nothing comes like watching it in theatres though. Kamal has always analogically compared watching a movie in theatres to going to Tirupathi and having a direct darshan of the Lord. So him taking this decision is a little surprising. But I guess from a producers point of view this sounds profitable.

why we need to take such deserate measures. sincerely hope and wish all ends well for viswaroopam and becomes the milestone film in true essence.getting reminded of nayagan ,thevar magan , guna , kuruthipunal etc which has a humongous cult classic status quo
very important to build up the expectation in a positive manner with everyone rooting for the film to do well ...
was to a gathering yesterday and was glad that the news of jan 11th release is atleast known to everyone and ppl are lookng forard to the movie.
this shekar kapoor - may be its just me,but he seems to be not into the role at all ,has a dead pan face reaction in all the scenes he appears not to mention in the vijay tv spl that came somoetime back in which he looked totally uninterested to even talk.

world cinema has reached our streets... LoP is an example...namma ooru backgroundla,namma mozhi( it being massacred is a different issue) has already been sowed in the world stage who else than kamal can make it root deep?

I think this is an excellent move, it is not going to affect the Movie business much. Very less people in TN have Airtel DTH and the people who dont want to come to the theaters only are going to watch. No need for these distributors to get panic..

Points that would have been considered IMO
A DTH release will not impact the theatre going crowd.Why because,only people who are in two minds/not interested about watching the film in theatre(let's wait for reviews,time kedaicha paarkkalam)will watch it on DTH/DVD.
The person who wants to watch it only in a theatre will def do it.
Thus,a DTH release is only adding to the # of people who will end up watching the film and not reducing it.
For ex:My house is a family of 4 adults and two children.We do not watch films in theatre(do not remember the last non Kamal Tamil film we/I saw in a theatre)nor do we watch it on TV-timing,# of ad breaks etc.
As a policy I do not prefer watching on pirated prints or doing illegal downloads.So I am not watching any of the odd ggod/interesting movies which come out once in a while.
As the Tamil film industry is still lagging behind on release of original DVD's(TV channels buying those rights too using money and muscle power and not releasing them at all),I am deprived of the chance to catch up on movies and producers are losing one customer.Am sure there will be many like me.
If I had an AIRTEL DTH,surely my family will watch VR and I will def catch it in theatre.
So,the loss in NIL while the gain is 3 wrt our family.
However he has to take on the distributor cartel which is politically controlled and who have probably control on all the major theatres(esp single screen).
The move KH is planning is to by pass them for which he needs theatre owner support.When they are themselves under the control of the distributors,how will they stand behind him even if they want to.
All the cartel has to tell is,"one VR will not make a summer,next nee engitta dhaane varanum?"
This will catch up only when producers line up behind him and say we are going to deal only with the theatres in future.That has hitches as many start films depending on the money the distributor gives them,banks loans are a dream.It's a vicious cycle.
Probably he will succeed if some big guns and the government support him and frankly I do not forsee that happening.
However,if he pulls this off it will be a small step in freeing the industry from the clutches of the political cartel which is dominating it.
Let's wait and watch as despite talking of a original DVD release to beat piracy for many years now,he still has not been able to do anything.

Got this from FB.
From a friend
Kamal is now taking Viswaroopam in the industry and the theater owners are now like vamanans. Let me rewind to 2003.
When I took a break from the media and worked with Kamal for one year for Virumaandi in 2003 as creative head I got a chance to observe from close quarters his creative marketing genius side. Editör Gowtham worked with me in this project.
Kamal and I devised a secret plan to use the then powerful cable TV industry considered and officially declared as "enemy" of the Tamil film industry for ruining and killing the theatrical release.
After a negotiated deal, Raaj Kamal supplied clips in CDs officially to 700 cable TV operators all over Tamil Nadu week after week about the making of Virumaandi and some shots from the movie to the content-starved cable operators with a written guarantee that they will not screen pirated version before or after the release of Virumaandi. It worked.
Cable TV operators in B and C areas even advertised the name of the theaters where the movie will be released and provided the much needed publicity to the movie. We supplied the contents to the operators and viewers glued to the channel to see Kamal's new venture and it increased their advt revenue. The local cable TV operators instead of killing the movie advertised that they are partners with great actor Kamal Haasan and took justifiable pride.
Support came from unexpected quarters and I had to do some hard ball with the Cable TV kings to plunge deep into the venture and had even arranged a meeting with them and Kamal in his office in Alwarpet.
Some entrepreneur Cable TV operators even tied up with local theater owners and sold tickets via the cable TV networks for a percentage. The whole thing worked out good for us and took a new dimension.
The Hindu sensed it and gave a four column report on the new venture by Kamal and a new kid in the block to the industry. Theater owners in metros were rattled came running to me to know what's going on with Kamal the producer and what's in his mind. My lips were zipped. Finally the theater owners accepted the conditions of Kamal and released the movie.
We also did some unique international marketing. Kamal did not sell FMS to Yahya bhai or Karuna or Pudupet guys till the end making the distributors wonder what's going on or is Kamal going to release in the US by himself. I created a chain of distributors across the US - all new comers from the IT- and released through them and Raaj Kamal International got 100 times more revenue thanks to this new chain than what they would have gotten if they had gone through the normal route. It was an exhilarating experience working with him for one year before I got back to the US to continue what I was doing.
I got a call from Vijaykanth office to do similar work for Engal Anna that was also released during the same time and they offered any amount. I had to refuse as the movie was already bombed and told them that Kamal and I had the same unique wavelength from the day one making it easier for me to take a plunge. Read more in the book I am planning after a few years from now. Many thanks Prakash M Swamy for this info

The "Stage" of the screenplay is decided by the screenwriter. Kamal as the writer can choose to show some things and hide not expose some other things or ignore as he chooses as a creator. Ofcourse, if i didnt like the film i shall lament it, but that doesnt take away the right of the creator to make what he feels to be showcased. Everyone's got an agenda. Originally Posted by joe

I saw that the censor board muslim member who was part of the certification process(concluded by 18/10 or so) for VR was Hasan Mohammed Jinnah, i think this is the same DMK lawyer who stood for 1000 lights constituency instead of Stalin.

Kamal Hassan is known for novel ideas in his movies. Last weekend he threw in a new concept for the release of his movie Vishwaroopam.
This novel idea has already irked the theatre owners to an extent that Vishwaroopam might even get banned from theatres. So what did Kamal do to invite the theatre owners ire?
Kamal Hassan was trying to sell his Vishwaroopam for Rs 100 crore from the last six months. Many discussions happened on this and it all fell flat. Kamal Hassan devised a new plan wherein he would be releasing Vishwaroopam exclusively on television simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
All major television networks were contacted for this and a deal of Rs 50 crore was signed. As per this deal Vishwaroopam will be screened on DTH (Tata Sky, Dish TV, Reliance and Airtel) on the same day as its theatrical release.
A leading distributor came to know about this plan and alerted all the theatre owners. This worried the theatre owners as their collections would get hit if the film was released on television and theatre simultaneously. They have already expressed this dissatisfaction on Kamal`s new distribution plan. Kamal is yet to revert to this.
Sources inform us that Kamal Hassan might announce this new plan during the audio release of Vishwaroopam. This film is slated to hit theatres on January 11th in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
One question to the Distributors/theatre owners-You are not happy with the rate asked for and refused to buy the film.So why run to him with a compliant when he comes up with an alternate revenue plan ??????? :scratchhead:

It is confirmed that Kamal Haasan and his Raj Kamal Film International (RKFI) will directly release his magnum opus Viswaroopam in theatres. RKFI has now started booking theaters in Tamil Nadu for Vishwaroopam which will be the big Pongal release on January 11.
A few days back there were rumours that Kamal had tied up with a major DTH player to have a simultaneous release in theaters and on television.
The Tamil Nadu theater organisations is said to have protested and the plan was quietly shelved.
A veteran distributor is helping RKFI to get good screens. Viswaroopam has already been censored with an UA certificate.
The promotions for the film will start from December 7 when the audio of the film will be launched in three key cities in Tamil Nadu.

Kamal has ensured that working with SEL, he has not missed IR big time, or ARR !
friends, if this much attention to detail had gone into the music of a film with apparently no scope of music, I can only imagine how the rest of the film is gonna be!
DASA's experience must have taught Kamal a lot and a reincarnated/renewed Viswaroopam!
me-thinks it is a blockbuster round the corner!
fingers crossed!
but my expectations have sky-rocketed

Vishwaroopam on DTH before theatre release!Kamal Haasan has confirmed at a meeting of producers on Wednesday (Dec 5) evening at Film Chamber in Chennai that his magnum opus*Vishwaroopam*will be shown on DTH platforms.The DTH premiere will take place 8 hours before the film’s first show in theatres prior to the film's release. It is the first ever time in the world that a big film is being shown on DTH before its theatrical release.A major DTH operator will work out the finer details of the teltecast and its costing. They are planning to rope in other DTH operators, so that the film gets a wide viewing. Kamal and the DTH operator will be sharing the revenue.Meanwhile the Tamil Nadu theatres are not taking it lying down. They have called for an emergency meeting of the association today and will take a call.*Said Abirami Ramanathan : “ We are holding an extraordinary meeting tomorrow to discuss thisVishwaroopam*on DTH issue . It is a very serious matter that will have far reaching consequences for theatres in Tamil Nadu. We will talk after the meeting is over.”***

அணு விதைத்த - கொஞ்ச நேரம் கேட்கும்போதே கமலுக்கு பதில் வேறு யாரேனும் பாடியிருக்கலாம் எனத் தோணுது. முழு பாடலையும் பல முறை கேட்கும்போது அபிப்ராயம் மாறுகிறதா எனப் பார்போம்!

It looks like that the theatre owners have spoken to KH yesterday and likely to give more screens to Vishwaroopam. They have requested him to keep the DTH plans on hold as of now.

"nam noikku anbai vida veru marundhillai"
"nammil yaar irandhaalum, oru thaai azhuvaazh"
"karuvaraiyyum veedalla"
"nirandharamaai namadhendru sollum idam illai"
"there is a place far away - I wanna go there some day" is an indirect reference to an afterlife which is a relief from the pains/ sufferings of this temporary earthly abode!
wow! my guess was right - the lyrics are rich in moral mystic philosophy of persian poets such as Rumi etc, who are the sufi equivalent of sitthars.
and Kamal is an atheist ? are you kidding me ?

opening a possible can of worms here!
"unnai kaanadhu" pallavi bears strong resemblance to the original "raghupathi raghava rajaram" melody!
in the 'far away' song, the places where Kamal goes on a higher octave "nammil yaar irandhaalum, oru thaai azhuvaazh" bears very strong resemblance to the higher octave frenzied "nadhiyey neeyaanaal karai naaney" from 'pudhu vellai mazhai' (ROJA) by ARR!
maybe both motifs being very popular the whole of India, prompted kamal to insist on using them as templates for these two songs!

Industry and fans celebrate Kamal at Vishwaroopam's audio launch
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...-07-12-12.html
The audio of Vishwaroopam was launched in a grand manner today across three prominent cities of Tamil Nadu – Madurai, Coimbatore and Chennai in that order. The Chennai leg of the event kicked off after a late start at around 7 30 pm at the YMCA Grounds in Royapettah. A medley of famous Kamal songs performed by Jaya TV’s Ragamalika troupe acted as the curtain raiser for the event.
Popular Malayalam actor and a close friend of Kamal since many years, Jayaram acted as the anchor for the event. He reminisced about his friendship with the Ulaganayagan and told the crowd about how Kamal acted in a cameo in one of his recent films without charging a penny.
The composer trio Shankar – Ehsaan – Loy was humbled by the presence of Isaignani Ilaiyaraja at the event and Shankar termed him as the King. Kamal made a grand entry on the stage along with his two lead ladies Andrea and Pooja Kumar.
Kamal cheekily remarked that artistes like him will never get tired of applause and that he was in fact greedy for more and more applause from his audience. He termed that the bottom-line of the event was the unconditional love and care that he shared with his fans and well-wishers.
Pooja Kumar impressed the audience with a brief speech in broken Tamil before shifting to her more customary American English. When she said that she grew up watching Kamal’s films ever since her first Kamal movie Ek Dujhe Ke Liye, Kamal quickly interrupted her and jokingly said that it was a needless comment.
When Jayaram asked Kamal who he would love to kiss among the likes of Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lopez when he goes to Hollywood soon, Kamal said light heartedly that he isn’t going to Hollywood to taste another person’s lips. He instead intends to show how good he can act, to the Hollywood honchos.
Karthik then came on stage and literally dazzled with his energy levels and range, as he performed some landmark Kamal songs. The audience and the celebrities were truly floored by the ace singer’s performance. Andrea also showed how stylishly she can sing when she and a guitarist performed ‘Ninaivo Oru Paravai’ and ‘Nee Paartha Paarvai’.
Pooja Kumar decided to show off her dancing skills as she performed for the delightfully classical ‘Unnai Kaanadha’ number from Vishwaroopam. Kamal also showed his ‘konnakol’ skills when he sang the starting portion of this number which was later fully rendered by the brilliant Shankar Mahadevan. Shankar also performed the title track of Vishwaroopam with unbridled energy and passion. The result was a true adrenaline rush for the audience, replete with goosebumps.
Many prominent directors from the industry like Lingusamy, Murugadoss, Dharani, Bharathiraja, K.S.Ravikumar and Vasanth spoke about how they have admired Kamal Haasan since ages. Bharathiraja talked about the famous scene in 16 Vayadhinile which featured Kamal in just the bare minimum clothing. He felt that no one has Kamal’s guts, passion for cinema and self-confidence. Vasanth was in awe of Kamal’s ‘konnakol’ skills which he said actually takes years of practice for even experts. Ravikumar appealed to the star on behalf of his fans that he needs to do atleast a movie a year and balance his path breaking attempts with commercial entertainers as well. The other aforementioned younger directors also spoke enthusiastically from their heart. Prabhu Ganesan was emotional and touched the audience when he said that his family will always travel with Kamal and support him forever. His elder brother and son also came on stage along with him.
The audio was finally formally released by Ilaiyaraja and received by Bharathiraja. The entire bunch of celebrities who attended the event came onto the stage for the grand finale. Vishwaroopam also marks the first Raaj Kamal Films production which doesn’t feature Raja’s music. Kamal, therefore, made it a point to personally invite Raja for the launch and make him release the audio.
All in all, this was an event which was a feast for the Ulaganayagan’s fans and well-wishers. The entire arena was decked with banners, cutouts and posters of Kamal in his countless avatars. Vishwaroopam’s music promises to be memorable particularly the title track and ‘Unnai Kaanadha’.
Expect these songs to top all the countdown charts in the coming weeks as Vishwaroopam gets ready to release on January 11th, 2013.

Unnai kaanadhu naan:Pick of the album for me,the tune and delightful vocals from S.Mahadevan.
Next would be Tuppakki engal thozhile:Has a quality International feel to it,Anu vidhaitha:The lyrics and the mood the music creates.
Title track:Perfect massy intro number and superb singing by Suraj.Am rating it last simply because this kind of song looks odd in a film like this.can't visualize how and where he will place this.
Overall:Quality stuff.SEL have proved the detractors wrong.

There's a place far away : You cannot paint spiritual or philosophical background to this song. I feel this song follows an attack in a village, and the violent events the bombing provokes are masked with a soothing song, rather a soothing voice. It may be the vision of an abandoned kid running around to seek shelter .. feeling that one day he would reach a peaceful place knowing well that his mother's womb was a temprory secured place ...
Title track : Well, well .. firstly its the theme, and the song has all the greatness as the title of the movie. If i am not wrong, it will be placed everywhere in the movie where you as a spectator want it to (just like the bond theme) ... helps to increase the tempo and sink you in the hard hitting suituations. Secondly, it holds a personel message from the legend to all the small boys in the industry :
Yavan Endru Ninaithai ... Aethai Kandu Sirithai
Thadaigalai Vendrae Sarithiram Padaiththavan ... Nyabagam Varugiratha
Yenna Roopam eduppan evarukku Theriyum ... Sondha Roopam Maatri Maatri edupaan Vishwaroopam
Unnai kaanadhu naan : As discussed with Irir (by IM), the only fear I had with this so wonderful song is the lyrics. The 2nd part certainly has all the materials for a hindu activist to revolt. Eventhough Irir is positive that no one cares about lyrics, myself still fell that there is a pack out there to profit publicity from Kamal's work, as usual.
Thuppakki Engal : Old school Rock ... But I do not know how it is going to be taken if it is pictorised for the training in terrorist camp.
Remix : Perfect, not spoiling the real track. Dubstep sprinkled here and there is a major plus.
On the whole, an impressive album - vocals, sound, instrumental, mixing are top notch. Eventhough not quite original (has signs of Alavandhan, Hey Ram, Mission Kashmir, Sherlock Holmes soundtrack, etc.,) it lives up to the hype created around it and pays back well the wait.
On a side note : Glorification of the other side of the camp cannot be dismissed. Will Vishwaroopam justify its concept or will fall flat like Dasa or Hey Ram is to be seen.

Heard on FM yesterday (from memory, so some paraphrasing might be possible!):
ஏன் மதுரையில் வைத்து ஆடியோ ரிலீஸ் செய்கிறார் கமல்?
கமல்: இது முதல் முறை அல்ல. முன்பே செய்திருக்கோம் (விருமாண்டி). இது என்னுடைய வட்டாரம்.. என்னை நன்றாகத் தெரிந்த, வளர்த்த வட்டாரம் என்பது மட்டும் காரணமல்ல..என்பால் அன்பு கொண்ட உள்ளங்கள் நிறைந்த வட்டாரம் என்பது மட்டுமல்ல, "ஏவியேஷன்"-காரர்களும் இப்படி (மதுரை, கோவை, சென்னை) செய்தால் சரியாக இருக்கும் என்பதால், என்பால் உள்ள அன்"பால்" நழுவி ஏவியேஷன் "பழத்தில்" விழுந்ததும் ஒரு காரணம்!
என்னை விதைத்த நிலம் இது - இப்போ வளர்ந்து நிக்கிறேன்; இங்கே அறுவடையை எட்டிப் பாக்க வந்திருக்கேன்!

for eg. consider there is a new release of Ajith every week.. 52 films per year.. don't you think theater owners will be smiling all days..

Honest,
Overall collection will be less , that is known ..But when there is no MG , theatre owners loose nothing .. let them reduce no of theatres ,so can accommodate other small movies as well , unlike 1 or 2 movies occupy 95 of the theatres on festival releases .

note: am not saying VR will have scenes mixed from the above 3 films - am talking abt the ambience and the feel from the three films - technically it will be a pathbreaker am sure - there will be some stunning vistas of the desert a la National Geographic videos, but in no way unconnected to the main script - there will be dozens of hidden subtleties packed into conversations even camera angles (remember Hey Ram - saketh's visits his new bride-to-be's home and mythili falls at his feet, the camera angle shot is from above Saketh's head, and Saketh's hands rise to bless mythili and the finger that has his former lover/wife's ring trembles and IR gives a short piano riff of 'nee partha'!! only possible in a kamal film) the obvious anti-Bush props etc etc!

'விஸ்வரூபம்' படத்தினை dth-ல் வெளியிடுவது குறித்து கமல் வெளியிட்டுள்ள அறிக்கை!
புதிய முயற்சிகளை,கண்டுபிடிப்புகளை முதலில் உதாசீனம் செய்வதும் ஏளனம் செய்வதும் ஏன்...அவைகளைக் கண்டனம் செய்வதும் கூட உலக வழக்கம்.
உலகம் உருண்டை வடிவம் என்று சொன்ன விஞ்ஞானி கலீலியோவை எரித்துக் கொல்ல வேண்டும் என்று சொன்ன இஸ்பானியராணி முதல் இன்றைய சினிமாத்துறையினர் வரை இம்மனப்பாங்கு நீடிக்கிறது.
ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனத்தின் dth முயற்சியையும் புரிதல் இல்லாததால் ‘புறக்கணிப்போம், புறந்தள்ளுவோம்’ என்ற பதற்றக் குரல்கள் எழுகின்றன. தேவையற்ற புரளிகளையும் கிளப்புகிறது ஒரு கூட்டம்.
ஆனால் திரைத்துறையில் ஒரு பெரும் கூட்டம் – பெரும்பான்மை – ‘இது சினிமா வர்த்தகத்தின் புதிய பரிணாம வளர்ச்சி; தமிழ் சினிமாவை, ஏன்… உலக சினிமாவையே புதிய வருமான எல்லைகளைக் கடக்க வைக்கும் முயற்சி’ என்று என்னைப் பாராட்டுகிறது.
இது சந்தோஷமான செய்தி. Dthற்கு வெகுவான வரவேற்பு உள்ளது. இது சினிமாவை வலுப்படுத்தும் இன்னொரு வியாபாரக்கிளை.
ஒரு சிறுபான்மை மட்டும் இது நாசம் விளைவிக்கும் என்று ஆவேசம் கொள்கிறது.
இந்த dth என்பதுஎன்ன?
எல்லார் வீட்டிலும் இருக்கும் தொலைக்காட்சிப் பெட்டியா என்றால் இல்லை. நல்ல வசதி உள்ளவர்கள் அதிகப்பணம் கட்டி ஒரு கருவியின் மூலம் பல சானல்களையும் சினிமாவையும் பார்க்க உதவும் கருவி.
சினிமா அரங்குக்கே செல்ல மறந்த மறுத்த வசதியான கூட்டம் சினிமாவை வீட்டோடு அனுபவிக்க உதவும் ஊடகம் இந்த dth. இப்படி வீட்டோடு தங்கியவர்களையும் சினிமா பக்கம் ஈர்க்கும் முயற்சியே இது. இதை விடுத்து படம் சரியாக அமையாததால் கிடைத்ததைச் சுருட்டிக் கொண்டு ஓடப்பார்க்கிறார் கமல் என்று புரளிகள் கிளம்புகிறார்கள். கிடைத்ததைச் சுருட்டும் பழக்கம் எனக்கில்லை என்பதற்கு என் சினிமா வாழ்வும் நான் எடுத்த சினிமாக்களும் சான்று. என் படம் முடிந்து 7 மாதங்களாகின்றன.
இப்பொழுது என் படத்திற்கு விலை கொடுத்து வாங்கப் பலர் பெரிய விலைகளைச் சொல்லியும் விற்காமல் எல்லா ஊடகங்களிலும் படம் நல்ல வசூலை ஈட்ட வழி செய்யவே இந்த முயற்சி. முழுமையாக மக்களின் ஆர்வம் வருமானமாக மாறி படத்தயாரிப்பாளர் கையில் சேர்ந்தால் திரை உலகுமேம்படும். நேர்மையான வியாபாரத்தில் அனைவரும் ஈடுபட்டு நல்லபடி வரிகட்டி அரசிடம் எடுத்துச் சொல்லி கறுப்புப்பண விளையாட்டைக் குறைத்துக் கொண்டால், 5 வருடத்தில் தமிழ்சினிமா இந்திசினிமாவின் வசூலுக்கு நிகராகும்.
ஒரே நாளில் விஸ்வரூபத்தின் தமிழ் இசை இந்தியாவிலேயே அதிக விற்பனையான இசைதகடாக இருக்கிறது. இன்னும் சில தினங்களில் இந்தியாவிலேயே அதிக விற்பனையான இசை தகடாக முதல் இடத்திற்கு விஸ்ரூவருபம் என்கிறது வியாபார வட்டாரம். இது ஒரு வர்த்தக சாதனை. ஏற்கனவே உலகவர்த்தகம் இந்திய சினிமாவை நல்ல பொருள் ஈட்டும்களம் என நம்புகிறது. உலகத்துக்கு இருக்கும் நம்பிக்கை உள்ளூரிலும் இருக்க வேண்டாமா?
Dthல் ஒரே ஒரு காட்சிகாட்டப்படும். இதை பதிவு செய்யமுடியாது. பிரத்தியேகக்காட்சி முடியும் போது படம் dth கருவியில் தங்காது. ஒருமுறை இப்படத்தைப் பார்க்க 1000 ரூபாய் கட்டணம். தியேட்டர் கட்டணத்தைப் போல் பத்து மடங்கு. காட்சியை வீட்டில் பார்த்த சந்தோஷம் தவிர சினிமா தியேட்டரில் கிடைக்கும் அனுபவம் கண்டிப்பாய்க் கிடைக்காது.
விஸ்வரூபத்தில் ஒலி அமைப்பு இதுவரை இந்திய ரசிகர்கள் கேட்டிராத அளவு அற்புதமாக செய்திருக்கிறோம். ஹாலிவுட் படத்தயாரிப்பில் அதுவும் மேல் தட்டுப்படங்களில் மட்டுமே தென்படும்தரமிது. இத்தனையும் செய்தது tv-ல்காட்டுவதற்கு மட்டும்அல்ல.
Dth வசதி தமிழக ஜனத்தொகையில் 3 விழுக்காடு வசதி படைத்தவர்களிடம் மட்டுமே இருக்கிறது. அதில் நாங்கள் 1½ விழுக்காடு வாடிக்கையாளர்களிடம் மட்டுமே காட்ட முடியும் என்கிறது கணக்கு. 100 பேர் ஒருவனுக்கு பயப்படுவது ஆச்சரியம்.
7½ கோடியில் ஒரு விழுக்காடு படம் பார்த்தால் குடியே கெடும் என்பவர்கள் நமது வருமானத்தில் 50% ஐகள்ள dvd வியாபாரி கொண்டு போவதைத் தடுப்பதற்கு சிறு முயற்சிகளே செய்கிறார்கள். கள்ள dvdக்காரர்களுடன் கூட்டுச் சேர்ந்து பயிரை மேயும் வேலியை விட்டு விட்டு நேர்மையான வியாபாரத்தைத் தடுப்பது கண்டிக்கத்தக்கது.
திருடனுக்கு 50% கொடுத்தாலும் கொடுப்பேன்; உடையவனுக்கு ஒன்று கூட சேரக்கூடாது என்பது நியாயமில்லாதவாதம்.
இந்த முயற்சியால் தியேட்டரில் கூட்டம் குறையாது. தொலைக்காட்சியில் இலவசமாய் படம் காட்டினால் வியாபாரம் கெடும் என்று எதிர்த்துத் தோற்ற இதே வியாபாரிகள் இன்று சுபிட்சமாக வாழும் சான்றே போதுமானது. பகுத்தறிவாளனாக இருப்பினும் பெரும்பான்மையினர் புரிந்து கொள்ள ஒரு பக்தி விளக்கம். வீட்டில் பெருமாள் படம் காலண்டரில் தொங்குவதால் யாரும் திருப்பதிக்குப் போவதைக் குறைத்துக் கொண்டதாய்த் தெரியவில்லை. கிட்டதட்ட அந்த நிலைதான் சினிமாஅரங்க அனுபவத்திர்கும் வீட்டில் மின்விசிறி இருப்பினும் காற்றுவாங்க கூட்டம் கடற்கரைக்கு வருகிறது. ரேடியோவில் தன் குரல் கேட்டால் புகழ் குறையும் என்று, நினைத்துப்பாடாமல் இருந்த கர்நாடகபாகவதர்கள் போல் இருப்பது உசிதமல்ல. சமையலறையும் நல்ல சமையலும் பலவீடுகளில் இருப்பதால் ஹோட்டல்களை மூடிவிட்டார்களா என்ன?
முடிவாக இது முஸ்லிம்களை தவறாக சித்தரிக்கும் படம் என்று சந்தேகப்படுகிறதாம் ஒரு சில முஸ்லிம் அமைப்புகள். இந்த முஸ்லிம்கள் படத்தை பார்த்து, மனம் மாறி, தேவையில்லாமல் கமல்ஹாசனை சந்தேகப்பட்டுவிட்டோமே என்று மனதிற்குள் வருந்துவர். அவர்கள் மனதிற்குள் வருந்தினால் மட்டும் போதாது. நான் விடமாட்டேன். சகோதரனைச் சந்தேகப்பட்டதற்கு பிராயச்சித்தமாக அந்த முஸ்லிம் சகோதரர்கள் அடுத்த பக்ரீத்துக்கு அண்டாஅண்டாவாக பிரியாணி விருந்தளிக்க வாக்களிக்க வேண்டும். அத்தனை பிரியாணியையும் நான் ஒரு ஆள் சாப்பிட இயலாது. ஆதலால் நம் அன்பின் சான்றாக பசித்த ஏழைப் பிள்ளைகளுக்கு அதை விருந்தாக்குங்கள். எப்போதும் போல அக்குழந்தைகளின் சாதி-மதம் பார்க்காமல் அதைச் செய்யுங்கள். அப்பெருவிருந்தில் கலந்து கொள்ள நான் பசியுடன் காத்திருக்கிறேன்.

Wrong comparison b/c in India Rs 1000 per family wanting to see the movie (before its theatrical release) could be worth the premium. The target audience for this may not be huge but no one can be real sure until it is tried out. I bet that other producers of big movies released this year are right now feeling that they couldn't come up with this idea earlier.
When 3D TVs become commonplace, for example...something like Sivaji 2.0 would be a good fit. Technology marches on...

DTH is aimed at those who are unlikely to go to the theatre.Whether there is Auro 3D,Visual 3D,fantastic reviews,indha koottam will not go.
For them 1000 Rs for a family of 4 is cheap.
And whereever did KH tell this will eradicate piracy.He is telling we are already losing to piracy,atleast let's give a % of that crowd a legal alternative to theatre.
Of course there will be a collateral damage where he will lose some theatre going crowd to DTH and a better print will hit the market on Day 1 but still feel this will be a viable revenue stream for the investor.

Selva has a point here. Overseas-la 200 mile car-la poyi padam paakuravanga might have a better option. If I'm not wrong, for some recent releases like '3', the producers made a deal with some anti-piracy firms. They were quite effective in removing the pirated versions from sites like TPB, isohunt etc at least during the first week. If this is not done for VR, we might have a DVD print version, hours before the release. I'm quite sure, Kamal must have engaged them too.

Good if it reaches a common man, like Unmai Vilambi. But the niche audience to whom it is targeted at, might consist of a much bigger chunk that what we expect. One main source of revenue is celebs from the film fraternity who watch only the preview or special shows and not mingle with the public.

சென்னை: விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தில் முஸ்லிம்களுக்கு எதிராகக் காட்சிகள் இல்லாவிட்டால் 10000 ஏழை சகோதரர்களுக்கு பிரியாணி விருந்து அளிக்க தயார் என்று தேசிய முஸ்லிம் லீக் அறிவித்துள்ளது.
விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தில் முஸ்லிம்களை தவறாக சித்தரித்துள்ளதாகக் கூறி, அப்படத்துக்கு சில இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகள் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்திருந்தன.இந்த நிலையில் அதற்கு மறுப்பு தெரிவித்த கமல், படத்தை பார்த்த பிறகு மனம் மாறி என்னை சந்தேகப்பட்டதற்கு பிராயசித்தமாக பசித்த பிள்ளைகளுக்கு முஸ்லிம் சகோதரர்கள் பிரியாணி வழங்க வேண்டும் என்றும் கூறியிருந்தார்.
இதற்கு பதில் அளித்து இந்திய தேசிய முஸ்லிம் லீக் தலைவர் ஜவஹிர்அலி வெளியிட்டுள்ள அறிக்கையில், "சகோதரர் கமலஹாசன் தயாரித்து நடித்து வெளிவரும் 'விஸ்வரூபம்' படத்தில் முஸ்லிம் சமூகத்துக்கு எதிரான காட்சிகளும் வசனங்களும் உள்ளதாக செய்திகள் வெளிவர தொடங்கியுள்ள நிலையில் கமலஹாசன் வெளியிட்டுள்ள அறிக்கையில் முஸ்லிம்கள் இப்படத்தைப் பார்த்து மனம் மாறி தேவையில்லாமல் சந்தேகப்பட்டு விட்டோமே என்று மனதில் வருதப்படுவார்கள் என கூறியுள்ளார். 'ஹேராம்' மற்றும் 'உன்னைப்போல் ஒருவன்' படம் வெளிவந்தபோதும் இப்படியே கூறினார். ஆனால் அத் திரைப்படங்களில் இஸ்லாமியர்களை காயப்படுத்தும் வகையில் வசனங்களும் காட்சிகளும் அமைந்திருந்தது. ஆனால் அச்சமயம் எங்களுக்குள் வலுவான ஒற்றுமை இல்லாததினால் பெரிய அளவில் எங்களின் எதிர்ப்புகளை காட்டவில்லை.
ஆனால் இன்று முஸ்லிம் சமூகத்துக்குள் மிகப் பெரிய வலுவான ஒற்றுமையும் உணர்வும் வந்திருப்பதால் முஸ்லிம்களை காயப்படுத்தும் வசனங்களோ, காட்சிகளோ எந்த திரைப்படத்தில் இடம் பெற்றாலும் அதை எதிர்க்க தயங்க மாட்டோம்.
'விஸ்வரூபம்' திரைப்படத்தில் இஸ்லாமியர்களுக்கு எதிரான காட்சிகள் இல்லாமல் இருந்தால் சகோதரர் கமலஹாசன் கூறுவதுபோல் அவர் முன்னிலையில் ஏழைகள் 10 ஆயிரம் பேருக்கு பிரியாணி வழங்க இந்திய தேசிய முஸ்லீம் லீக் தயாராக உள்ளது," என்று குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்.

‘Kamal’s DTH move is disruptive, he is creating a super premier’
“Superstar Kamal Hassan is firm on his decision to release his upcoming film, Vishwaroopam, on DTH (Direct- To- Home) platforms eight hours prior to its release in theatres. In fact, Hassan is charging a whopping price of Rs 1000 on the one time screening that will be available on DTH networks.
What will be interesting to watch is, if viewers will barter the theatre experience for the drawing room sit back. Even if tickets for three often add up to Rs 1000, one is willing to pay for the big screen not a small TV experience. The large flat screen that, perhaps, Kamal is targeting is a luxury that few homes in India enjoy,” Firstpost had reported this morning.
STAR India CEO Uday Shankar disagrees. “It is a very strategic and disruptive move by an industry veteran. All that Kamal Hassan is doing is to create a super premier which will be very niche but very impactful. The pricing is a statement both for the movie and the opportunity and for the fans of Kamal Hassan, wouldn’t be too high. The industry has always benefitted from such disruption and I think once again both the film industry as well as the film lovers will benefit from it. I don’t think it will have any impact on the theatrical potential, if the movie is successful. If anything, it might work as a powerful multiplier,” Shankar told Firstpost.
Harit Nagpal, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Sky Ltd, sees the move as just one other opportunity thrown up by technology and sees no threat to theatre collections whatsoever. “Kamal Hassan has spotted the opportunity thrown up by technology. Before DTH, the opportunities to monetize films were first limited to only theatres. Then came the DVD, giving producers another opportunity to monetize. With it came TV channels as well. Typically, a film would release in the theatres for a 4 week run, move to paid DTH for a week or so, and then to the movie channels on TV. What Kamal Hassan has seen is the non-duplicable and non-replicable aspects of DTH, which means there is no danger of piracy, unlike the case with DVDs. With this one-day airing at Rs.1000, Kamal Hassan is just taking advantage of the new window,” feels Nagpal.
Nagpal dismisses the threat to theatre collections. “With this premium pricing, the kind of people who will pay this are not the kind who will queue up to buy tickets at the multiplexes. In a way, these are new audiences, who will, because of their capacity to influence opinion, talk up the movie if they enjoy it and theatres would gain,” says Nagpal.
Nagpal also brings the volumes into perspective. “Even if 5000 people choose to watch the movie at home on DTH, that is just about a day’s capacity at a single multiplex. How can this number, then, be a danger to theatrical collections?”
On the pricing, Nagpal says that this is an example of price discovery. It might work at Rs 1000, it might be overpriced, and it might be underpriced.
What Nagpal is clear about is that, since technology has made this new monetization window available, if Kamal Hassan had not done it, someone else would have, sooner or later.
Welcome to the world of premium-priced movies in the comfort of your home. Watch the movies in your shorts, fix your self a drink and ask the maid to serve the snacks. Your home is now your theatre!

I dont know abt rediff review of Sivaji, but i do see rediff praising skyhigh every other film score of SRK, AK, Bachhan etc as 'brilliant', 'outstanding' etc - obviously pre-determined of course.
and notice the way rediff ends the review, 'If there's anything Kamal Haasan has earned a name for in his long and distinguished career in the film industry, it is the novelty he brings to anything he does' - can it get any more patronising than that ?? as if Kamal has earned a name just for bringing in some 'novelty' ! how abt using words like 'creativity', 'path-breaking' etc ?
when Amitabh recited that song in PAA, every other website went gaga over that, 'Bachan creates history' etc with barely any mention of the celtic style string usage in that track by IR! likely coz the morons who write for rediff know as much abt music as the teaspoon (that i use for making coffee) does !

Game changer? - SUDHISH KAMATH
Kamal Haasan’s plan to release his Vishwaroopam on DTH platforms ahead of its theatrical release has received a shot in the arm with producers coming forward to support the move.
On Monday morning, the Producers’ Council and the Film Chamber of Commerce backed Kamal Haasan's decision to premiere his spy thriller Vishwaroopam on Direct-To-Home platforms eight hours before the theatrical release during Pongal. The industry urged theatre owners and distributors from across the State to co-operate for the smooth release of the film after a section of them from the Tamil Nadu Film Exhibitors’ Association and Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association expressed their reservations over the move.
“We will not co-operate with the theatrical release of the film if he doesn't reconsider his decision,” R. Panneerselvam, general secretary of Tamil Nadu Film Exhibitors' Association, told MetroPlus. “There used to be over 2,600 theatres in 1984. Now, there are only about 1,250 cinema halls because many of them shut down due to the growth of cable and satellite TV. This will wipe out the remaining theatres too,” he said.
Dispelling fears
“The other exhibitors are already on board,” Kamal Haasan told The Hindu. “There is too much at stake and nobody has the right to make spot judgments on the issue before understanding the merits of the case.”
On Sunday evening, Kamal Haasan released an audio statement on SoundCloud to dispel these fears, stating that both cinema halls and DTH platforms could supplement each other, and this extra stream of revenue would open up more avenues for small producers and independent filmmakers who are unable to get adequate screens.
“ A single preview show on DTH platforms priced at Rs.1,000 ahead of the release will only help spread the word about how good it is, like a trailer,” filmmaker Bharathiraja said, speaking on behalf of the Producers’ Council. Producer-director A. Kothandaraman (KR) said that a film of this scale — with a Rs. 95-crore budget — would require other streams of revenue to cover costs, especially since Kamal Haasan is not demanding a Minimum Guarantee.
Traditionally, producers of big-budget, hyped films resort to making distributors and theatre owners pay an advance amount as “Minimum Guarantee,” a non-refundable amount irrespective of how the film really fares. Minimum Guarantee (MG) amounts are usually huge for the most hyped films and the risks have often driven distributors to bankruptcy in the event of the film bombing. Rarely, have producers voluntarily returned the MG amounts.
“MG comes into play only when you are not confident about your product,” says Kamal Haasan. “I have done it too, so I am actually arguing against something I have done in the past. The way it should be is like a farmer taking his produce to the market. If the fruits are good, they will sell.”
Defying convention, Kamal Haasan has offered Vishwaroopam to theatre owners on a percentage basis. A move that will cut out the middlemen.
Cutting out middlemen
“Films usually don’t make money because there are too many middlemen who have to recover the MG they paid to acquire the film for their territory from bigger distributors. The more the middlemen, the more the chances that not everyone will recover money,” says S. Sashikanth, producer, who runs Y Not Studios. “DTH will benefit quality small films more than big films. It will open up the market dynamically. Small films don't need the grandeur of the theatre. Which is why we wanted to release Kadhalil Sothappuvathu Yeppadi on TV first. It's a great platform for a film like Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom or a Pizza, which may actually be scarier when you watch it in a dark room alone.”
The president of Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association, Abhirami Ramanathan, hadn't reached an agreement with Kamal Haasan at the time of this issue going to print, and was unavailable for comment.

Full first page coverage of DTH premiere issue on today's Deccan Chronicle all over Andhra Pradesh. DTH premiere or no premiere, what this has done is creating the much needed hype and publicity about the movie, lot of my hospital docs discussing it over breakfast now. Exactly a month to go for the release ( hoping things fall into place ), the awareness and interest in the movie here in Hyderabad is definitely much more than in was for Dasa. DTH disruption idea ...... hats off Thalaiva.

Thanks K. The clarification from my side is .... most of my cribbings have been heartfelt and genuine, and mostly linked to choice of films by KH. I am sure you remember our last phone conversation before Manmadhan Ambu. You were asking me why I was being so negative at that time, and i told you that it was a no gain - only loss possible situation. In other words, even if MMA was a superhit, no feather is gonna be added to the cap while there was every chance of it turning out to be a dud, which it did in my honest opinion ..... Originally Posted by Anban

There's more to the film than such a basic plot. The kathak dance poster separating the war and peace zones, the recently released KH with the gun poster showing Arab warriors on the left and US cops on the right, the dove in every poster ....... the lyrics and orchestration of songs, tri city audio release and now the so called "Disruptive Innovation" in the form of DTH premiere .......
I admit, even I have begun to scale up expectations like never before.

http://www.bangaloremirror.com/article/25/201212102012121020225890699456723/Why-Kamal
Kamal Haasan’s plan to release his new film Vishwaroopam on DTH ahead of theatres is widely regarded as perspicacious, but a section of Kollywood believes that it’s an asinine idea germinating out of a nebulous situation the legendary actor has found himself in. Rattled, theatre owners are huddled up to squelch the move at the budding stage itself, while Kamal, with no qualms whatsoever, dubbed the knee-jerk opposition Rip van Winkle-ish.
Sources privy to the developments say there is more than what meets the eye behind Ulaga Nayakan’s ‘master-stroke’.
Trade sources say the film, which was shot for around Rs 90 crore, has been lying in the can for want of distributors for the last five months. Not that there were no takers, but no one was willing to buy what the industry describes as the “exorbitant price” Kamal was quoting for his ambitious tri-lingual film ( Tamil, Hindi & Telugu).
Graveyard year for Tamil
According to trade insiders, the actor was demanding about Rs 140 crore for the film (Rs 80 crore for Tamil, Rs 40 for Telugu and Rs 20 for Hindi) from prospective buyers like Eros, UTV and Reliance for the three languages. Interestingly, no production house was willing to buy the film for such a whopping price in what industry describes as a graveyard year for big-budget films. The actor was willing to budge an inch or two, but the production houses weren’t.
“He was ready to come down to a figure of Rs 110 crore, but sadly no one was willing to take that risk. The film cost the producer around Rs 90 crore. The price quoted came up to a maximum of only Rs 80 crore. It was a shock for Kamal. In such a scenario, he knew that he was not even getting back the production cost,” a top Tamil producer told Mirror. Besides, no one confirms the production cost – Rs 90 crore –includes his remuneration as well. Kamal, in fact, enjoys a pay pack of Rs 20-25 crore. (“At least that’s what he is demanding nowadays,” says a producer.)
For Kamal, it was a moment of epiphany how the ground beneath his feet has eroded. New-age stars like Suriya have climbed up the ladder at breakneck speed. Kamal was the indisputable No 2 for many years. (We don’t even need to mention the No 1, do we?) But the scene changed dramatically over the last few years with Ajith, Suriya, Vijay, Dhanush and even Karthi rising to the top.
“Yes, Kamal should be there in the top 5, but every equation is changing at lightning speed. Suriya was clear No. 2, but Thuppakki’s blockbuster success has taken Vijay ahead of Suriya. Vijay’s previous two films too were massive hits. Ajith rose to No. 2 soon after Mankatha, but then Billa 2, a dud at the box office, played spoilsport. If his untitled film with Billa I director Vishnuvardhan delivers, he will be back at the top,” says a veteran Chennai-based journalist, who is closely tracking Kollywood.
Reasons for lukewarm response
According to trade analysts, there are a number of reasons why Kamal’s film elicited a lukewarm response from the top production houses.
“First of all, Kamal is directing the film. His directorial ventures are not known for their commercial value. He is viewed in the market as an intelligent director, not a ‘masala’ director. Secondly, other than Kamal, there is not a single factor to pull in the masses. The film neither boasts of a top heroine, nor a top technician. Even the music composer is from Bollywood,” says another trade tracker. To make things worse, Kamal’s last film, Manmadhan Ambu, was a disaster at the box office.
Kamal as astute as ever
Back to the DTH drama being played out, Kamal was shocked by the turn of things, but not heart-broken. Seeking his pound of flesh, he went back to the drawing board, and started discussing with DTH players, who quickly sensed a golden opportunity to rake in some quick bucks on a single day. Moreover, they realised that would open up many more opportunities. In fact, Sun TV is actively pursuing a similar release for Karthi’s Alex Pandian. According to reports in the Tamil media, Sun TV has already paid Rs 10 crore to have the film released a day before Pongal.
Though there is concern in the industry, producers are gleefully backing Kamal’s idea mostly because it is another revenue-generating window in a crisis-ridden period. The year 2012 saw some big-budget Tamil films biting the dust, with the sole exception of Vijay’s Thuppakki. Low-budget films like OKOK and Pizza have collected more money than some of the top films like Billa 2.
A producer says, “It is a win-win situation for us. It makes no sense for us to blindly oppose a revolutionary plan, that too by a stalwart like Kamal.” Interestingly, he too sought anonymity.
Theatre association fuming
But the theatre owners beg to differ. Says Abirami Ramanathan, the president of Tamil Nadu Producers’ Association, “We have huge respect for Kamal, but make no mistake, it will be a dangerous precedent. The industry is battling serious problems. We are all worried about the emerging scenario. In the US, they don’t have this plan. Nor is it there in Bollywood. Then why is Kollywood jumping the gun?”
Ramanathan says they had their first round of discussions with Kamal, in which they requested him to drop the idea altogether.
Concerns galore in industry
So what transpired in the meeting? “We expressed our concerns. Kamal says he has plans to hold a single screening on DTH ahead of the release, but what if someone else decides to have multiple screenings? What if clubs and hotels decide to publicly screen Vishwaroopam like IPL matches? What if people in rural area hire an auditorium and decide to screen the film with a projector?” asks Ramanathan.
And what did Kamal say at the meet? “He was listening patiently, but did not say much. He tried to alleviate our fears, saying that nothing of that sort will happen. But what’s the guarantee? He said he would get back soon.”
Asked about the perceived happiness of producers, Ramanathan says, “Yes, they are, but the happiness is momentary. In the long term, they will suffer. Out of 115 films, only 15 are big. The DTH players are eying only this 15. They don’t care about the rest of the films. What about those lower-strung producers? Will they be happy as well?”
Though Kamal has made it clear that he will go ahead with the plan through an audiocast on Sunday, some industry veterans are still optimistic that Kamal will drop the plan. Some say he won’t or can’t, given the fact that the deal with DTH players is irrevocable. On Kamal’s latest statement, Ramanathan said, “What can we say now? He is sticking to his stand. We are meeting all the distributors across Tamil Nadu on Tuesday. Shortly, we will be meeting producers as well. At this point, we are not planning to hold talks with Kamal. It’s his turn to get back.”
Kollywood optimistic
Can Kamal swing back to the top with Vishwaroopam, said to be a spy thriller? What if the film turns out to be a dud at the box office? If he goes ahead with the plan, will theatre owners refuse to release the film? Will Kamal, who had the audacity to do a silent film in the 80s itself, change the industry equations forever? Kollywood is eagerly waiting for all the answers this Pongal, one of Tamil Nadu’s biggest festivals.
In cricket, they say, you are as good as your last innings. Then, in films, you are as good as your last film –DTH or no DTH.

This is just my personal opinion. Dont jump on me after reading my post. Nothing against Kamal sir or Vishwaroopam.
This whole DTH thing will be a failure for sure. Though they say it cannot be recorded since its encrypted you cant stop anyone to shoot the film with good cam. So every Tom, Dick and Harry in every town will have good quality DVD ready for sale by next morning. So those who planned to watch it on DTH will think whether to pay 1000 rs today or wait for a day and pay 30 rs to watch the movie. The people who want to see the movie in theater also have an option now. If there is a good print available 90% of common movie goers will watch it in pirated DVD. I am not talking about fan boys (including me) who will anyway watch it in theater. Its a different experience altogether.
Moreover I personally dont agree on the view of targetting the upper middleclass / rich people. Who said these people will watch through DTH? They become rich only by saving money not by spending it (exceptions are always there). I know of lot of people who are rich and have dish connection at their home but still watch movies in pirated DVD (not even on VOD). If they are going to save 970 rs in a day definitely they will prefer to watch it in pirated DVD.
These days for any movie pirated DVD (good quality) is available after a week or two. So the movie will make good money opening weekend and subsequent week provided the movie's word of mouth is good.
I feel DTH guys will not be able to recover the money paid due to above reasons. If that is the case the whole concept would die.
What if it works out? Good for cinema industry. Though I personally feel this wont work but its good to TRY. Lets see.
On a personal note I am eagerly waiting for this movie. I listened to songs once. They are good especially the title track and Unnai kaanaadu naan.

Regarding your view on recording do you think taping at home will very hard for people who tape the same from theater which includes lot of risks?
Your post reminds me of Vasool raja MBBS comedy. Prabhu and Karunas gives strange calculations for room number. Just because they want it to be like that they have their own explanations. Similarly just because you support this move you have an answer for everything. I am not opposing this move but feel it wont work. Thats it. No hard feelings.
Anyway I dont get into discussions (read arguments) as its waste of time and finally we have to agree to disagree. Have a nice time.

Generally in the government(central/state) organization employee quarters, the cable operators have a DTH and provide the houses with those channels... It will be risky if the Cable Operators can provide the channel by this way(like Mudhalvan) to multiple houses. May be that's why there is a need of support from government too in this aspect.
Moreover, people will also be eager to get it free and find ways to see the movie free of cost. Who knows, even the Theatre owners can subscribe the DTH one time and show in their theatres as a preview show and earn a lot of money.. One month time given to plan out the technology to get it to many houses/people. Should have been a last minute decision which would not be blown out of proportion like now.

abhi, Understood your point. Thats why I said there are experts. But do you think Kamal or the DTH guys would not have thought about it? As I said before, some encrypting has to be (hopefully it will be) done to avoid or at least minimise piracy. Additionally, a good anti-piracy firm needs to be engaged. If the makers have not considered it, it sure is a big mistake.
The hype has increased in the past few days and is expected to increase manifold in the coming weeks. I have feeling that watching such a spectacular production in thiruttu print is not an option many would go for. Adding to what nick and Anban said, watching a (Kamal+big budget visual extravaganza+First Day) on DTH is a matter of prestige for some upper-middle & upper class families. This includes actors, film-makers and technicians from film fraternity.

Will not work as a last minute decision-Lot of money involved,1st time,modalities to be worked out.Time is required.One month time given to plan out the technology to get it to many houses/people. Should have been a last minute decision which would not be blown out of proportion like now.
Secondly,piracy is an existing problem.There is a revenue loss,run of a film in theatres has cone down,people are looking to earn in 10 days or so.This will continue.Why are you guys talking as if a DTH premier will spell doom?
This is a legal alternative to piracy and a effort to reach untapped audiences.

DTH will not dent anything.
Neither theatre collections not piracy.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if many people pay Rs.1000 to watch it at home.
My annual tata sky subscription including all channels they have on offer and 12 movies (many relatively new) works out to only Rs.6000.
If I didn't have that I would have to pay some 50 bucks to watch a movie-on-demand. I don't think I'd've done that.
It is not about money, it is about the idea of paying something to watch *once* on tv.

The DTH Plan might not go well in Tamil Nadu as we have the movie released in maximum no. of theatres. The regular movie watching public will prefer watching it in theatres as it is cheaper as well. However the general public (tamilians) from all the other state might go for it. I believe he is targeting this segment. Apart from this we have the Hindi and Telugu versions as well. That will be an added bonus.
I have a gut feel that the family audience who can afford a DTH connection (paying around 7000Rs / year) will go for it.
The issue has given a huge amount of publicity. No doubt with that. My worry is that the issue has to be sorted out ASAP so that he can start working on the promotional activities instead of responding to the queries and issuing statements. Efforts has to be put in for the advance booking in theatres so that the loooooong weekend is completely booked across all the cities.

There is this talk that Kamal seriously started to pursue the DTH route *only after* some Muslim groups started seriously issuing warnings about Protests in front of theaters a la they did for "thuppakki!". It is speculated that he thought this would pull the plug on the *designs* of these groups..
I dont think so - coz he has in the past talked about doing stuff like this. Also 1 more thing is the *timing* of the DTH release.
Jan.10 being a week day and speculations rife that DTH reelease is *8 hours* before theatrical release, if we take the theatrical release as 7am of Jan 11, are they talking about 11pm of Jan.10 for DTH?? It's better if they have a 8pm premiere.
As Nagpal of Tata had said earlier, the 1000/- is a typical example of Price Discovery and am sure DTH companies would not mind taking this risk as well as Film producers henceforth.
This is a niche market segment, and a passionate Kamal Fan / cinema lovers - would still want to go to a Cinema. This is a win-win for all parties.

Business Line caught up the man in the centre of the controversy over screening of his movie on the direct-to-home platform before it is released in theatres. Visiting the Prasad Studios for another appointment, this writer was pleasantly surprised to find the actor there, who acquiesced to an interview on the brouhaha. In an hour-long free-wheeling interview actor and film-maker Kamal Haasan spoke at length on the issue and why his move will be win-win for all in the industry.
Your decision to release Viswaroopam on the DTH platform has drawn flak from different quarters of the film fraternity ……
DTH is another ethical avenue that offers a platform to monetise. If anybody says no, he will be the loser. It’s a technological growth, and we can’t resist it beyond a point. Now, we are fighting a war against technology, only to realise that the latter wins. Always. We can’t win this war. If I don’t do it today, some day, someone will do it. Why should I wait till that someone comes and does it. Twenty years ago, I said the same thing about satellite TV. Now, it’s a reality.
So, are you going to go ahead?
Yes. I am not going to be nailed on this cross. The protest has only made me stand firmer on my ground. We are going ahead, booking theatres. And, they have seen me doing that before. I am releasing it on DTH on January 10, and it will hit theatre screens from the next day. It is also going to premiere in Los Angeles on January 10, for which I am going there.
I don’t understand the dichotomy among the film fraternity. DTH is only a parallel medium, and a transparent system. It is in no way going to impact theatrical revenues.
But then why are distributors protesting?
They do not understand that. Now, theatre owners in North too have joined them, saying if I release my movie on the DTH platform, they will not support me. It’s a nexus, and unfair. I am not going to release the Hindi and Telugu versions on DTH. It’s my film, and I am going to release it myself. I have not demanded minimum guarantee from anybody, though I am sure the film would make much more than that.
Do you think you can coax them?
Of course, yes. As it is, they have softened their stand. All producers are by my side. Distributors support me. Even theatre owners in all other cities are with me. The theatre owners association in Coimbatore has already passed a resolution to back me. Other centres such as Tiruchi are also by my side. In fact, over 15 cinema halls are getting new sound systems installed specially to screen this film. The protest is only from the Chennai city and neighbouring districts. I think all it calls for is persuasion. I have to talk to them, and make them understand that it will only help bringing in more people to the theatre. Moreover, my intention is not to violently force it upon them. I only want to convince them.
They fear two things. One, they say it may give a fillip to piracy and secondly, if all other producers follow your footsteps, the traditional exhibition medium will become redundant.
As I already told you, DTH is a transparent system. The DTH connections at clubs, bars and hotels will not be in the loop. Besides, piracy is impossible. If any one shoots with the hand-held camera and prints and sells, we can identify them with ease. It’s technically possible. I do not want to go into much detail, as somebody can come out with a smarter technology to do it. I told you, technology will be the winner... (he laughs).
For your second point, I am sitting on Rs 95 crore (cost of the film) and doing business. You tell me, how many people can do it. Every one would want to make quick money and go. Besides, how many can command Rs 1,000 just to watch once. I do not think many can take this route. Even if some do, going to a theatre is in our tradition. It will not die down. It has not happened in the US yet.
Have you signed up with all the six DTH players?
No. So far, we have signed up with Airtel, Dish, Videocon and Reliance. They came as a consortium.
How many DTH homes do you expect to watch the movie at this price point?
The DTH players we have tied up with so far, collectively reach around 15 lakh homes. I expect at least 40-50 per cent would watch.
Have you already sold the satellite rights of the film?
Yes, to Jaya TV.
How much do you think Viswaroopam would gross?
I do not want to predict. But I can safely say the movie would gross at least Rs 150 crore.
How many screens are you planning?
Globally 2,000 screens. Of this, 400 in Tamil Nadu, 1,200 in other parts of the country.
Would you be able to rope in so many with this kind of protest?
In politics and business, there is no permanent enemy. The same people who are on my side now were on the other side of the fence when I said we cannot fight satellite channels 20 years ago. This is the way going forward, and we have to embrace technology and sail with that.

This is the only concern. Isn't 40-50% a bit too optimistic assumption?
To cover 40C, 4 L group of viewers required which is around 27%. So anything more than 27% is a profit.
Initially I was thinking around 20% would watch. Let us wait !
For example I have DTH, but I will not opt for it because my first viewing must be in a theater !

May be there is a deal that after 2-3 weeks these DTH can show the movie any number of times at a price of their choice.
Then if they make it 200/- and can cover another 60%, then it becomes another 18C. Total 33C. Still tough !
Ya.. but in the 200/- shows, they can show advertisement and then they can make huge profits !

No offense to Kamal or Kamal fans...But this is the second or third time this year, that I have the seen him make a statement that Viswaroopam is not anti-Muslim. If he is so sensitive to the feelings to a people of a particular faith, then I hope he can be equally sensitive to all religions and communities too... I would greatly admire him if he takes up arms against 'ALL faiths and religions' like Christopher Hitchens or a Richard Dawkins. But he seems to be careful in choosing his target...and that...IMO is not praiseworthy...As an artist, let him use the same black brush against all faiths...not be selective..

My Dear Friends,
Say if all the DTH companies put together 50C. The Return on investment for them is not only the revenue from Vishwaroopam premiere. It also includes the following
1. A major breakthrough in the TN DTH market
2. Lots of new connections with tons of futuristic revenue.
3. Excellent awareness and publicity about DTH which would have taken much more than 50C to achieve.
Hence, forget about revenue through Vishwaroopam bookings. These DTH guys have already made their money easily. Any Vishwaroopam watch-on-demand booking is a bonus.

Nowadays lot of desktops (All-In-Ones) are shipping with built in support for TV (Lenova for e.g). I haven't tried it but recording the movie in reasonable quality should be possible (I guess).

sari adha vudunga - do you all seriously think DTH will impact VR's collectons in a way to break even, much more than what the theatre-going makkals are going to pay for repeated viewings ?? why is Kamal so bent upon this ? are makkals that crazed up to watch VR at home through DTH ? even if they did, if 10-15 ppl get together to spend Rs.1000 for a viewing at home, wouldnt that be Rs.100 per head which is the same as watching in a theatre ?
the one possibility is that a few ppl watching it DTH will help word-of-mouth awareness and more makkals will go watch in halls

Nth time repeat-KH is not under any illusion that people are crazy to watch the film.He is tapping the "enna aanalum theatre-kku pogamatten"crowd and believe me it's substantial.
This crowd even if they venture out,will run to a multiplex where tickets don't come at 100Rs.
Friends and families koottam podradhu is collateral damage but not much.
Guess he is supremely confident of his product and believes Good WOM from this crowd will help him attract newer audiences.
For DTH operators it's just not how much invested and ROI,they are hoping to increase the subscriber base-fresh members not just for VR but on the fact that going forward more films will follow.

In terms of DTH, don't most families crowd by TV during holidays like Pongal given the movies being telecast. This DTH opportunity could take up on that chance.

Kamal Haasan’s decision to premiere his next venture Vishwaroopam (in Tamil and Telugu versions) on a direct-to-home (DTH) platform a day prior to it’s release had irked exhibitors across India. And though the south India theatre owners have now fallen in line, those on the Hindi movie belt are harder to crack.
“He has had several meetings with Ajay Bijli, the chairperson and managing director of PVR regarding the DTH plan for Vishwaroopam. Haasan wants to air it on the evening of January 10, 2013 – a day prior to the film’s release,” a source told Mirror. But Bijli, was apparently not quite pleased with Haasan’s plans and threatened to boycott the film’s release in his chain of theatres in northern India.
The threats have however failed to budge Haasan from his decision. “I gave Mr Bijli a very clear option. Does he want to adhere by the status quo? Or would he like to look into the future with me? Unfortunately the theatre owners read a doom signal in my DTH plans. This is unfortunate since I would never plunge into any cinematic mission without weighing the pros and cons. At the same time I am not going to stand at the seaside wondering how cold the water is. I’ve always taken the plunge and I know what I am doing,” the actor told us.
In fact, the Haasan said that if PVR or other multiplex chains in northern India refuse to screen his film, he will still go forward with his DTH plan – alone if need be. “I will also ensure that the single theatres in North India and Mumbai release the film without feeling threatened by the DTH premiere. I will fly down to places like Kanpur and Lucknow on a chartered plane to supervise the release in single theatres,” he said.
And though exhibitors may feel otherwise, Haasan maintained that the DTH screening of his next venture would only increase footfalls into theatres. “Families love to eat at home. But they still go to restaurants, don’t they? Why don’t the petrified multiplex chains understand that by premiering my film on DTH, I’m actually enhancing the audience-profile for it?” he questioned.
Interestingly Ekta Kapoor’s Balaji Motion Pictures has taken on the distribution of Vishwaroopam. It will now be interesting to see how she tackles the proposed boycott of the film by the multiplexes.

The action-thriller ‘Vishwaroopam’ is to release on January 11 in
Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. The movie, which was produced at a cost of
around Rs 95 crore is likely to sell the DTH rights (for one show) for
Rs 60-70 crore.
Besides the domestic DTH player, Kamal Haasan is also in talks with
Malaysia-based Astro, which holds stake in Kalanithi Maran-run Sun TV’s
DTH company Sun Direct, Singapore-based SingTel, two companies in the
Gulf region and to players in Australia.

Kudos..vishwaroopam song in No.1 in top ten songs. http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/...da-dec-13.html
My views after hearing the songs several times:-
Anu Vidhaiththa Boomiyile: I will not be surprised if he receives best singer award for this. What a rendition. Charanam ‘illai’ la lowest note aagattum ‘yaaaar’ la high note aagaattum thuli kooda pisire illamal honey voice. Chance a illa. (hey ram nee paartha paaravai saayal vadudu illa?)
Unnai Kaanadhu Naan: Shankar at his best. Summa manushan uyir koduthrukaan mettu la. Edhirpaaramaleee la oru cut varude impossible. Kamal konnakol sweet. (pattinathil bhootham andha sivakami maganidam saayal varudu. Kapi/pilu raagam? Don’t know)
Vishwaroopam: Excellent theme song. May come throughout the movie after vishwa’s real identity is revealed I think.
Thuppaki Engal Tholile: ok ragam. Innum konjam catchy tune potrukkalaam. But this is a spoiler if heard carefully. ‘War is imposed on us’ means he is fighting on the side of Taliban. Cannot really say how he will justify it in screenplay.
Overall I loved it (we may not see any song sequence in the movie except unnai kaanadhu)

It is confirmed that Kamal Haasan’s ambitious Rs 90 Crore Vishwaroopam will have one screening on the night of January 10 in DTH platform. The film will have a theatrical release on January 11 in Tamil and Hindi worldwide.
As of now a consortium of DTH players led by Aircel, Dish TV and a few others will telecast it on pay per view. The DTH major Tata Sky has expressed its inability to have a single screening as they have an existing consumer base which has a ‘bunch of DTH films’. As of now Sun Direct the big DTH player in Tamil Nadu is not part of Vishwaroopam DTH plans.
Meanwhile Ekta Kapoor and her Balaji Telefilms will distribute the Hindi version Vishwaroop in upcountry multiplexes from January 11.
The Telugu version of Vishwaroopam will not be releasing simultaneously with the Tamil version on Jan 11. Two big Telugu films Nayak and SVSC have blocked all screens as they are releasing around the festival date of Jan 11.

KUALA LUMPUR: Acclaimed Indian actor Kamal Hassan is currently in town promoting his upcoming big-budget thriller Vishwaroopam.
Written, directed and produced by the 58-year-old thespian, who also stars in it, the film is already making waves with its slick trailer that features multiple exotic locations and what appears to be a terrorism plot.
Speaking at a press conference here late Saturday, Kamal described the movie as one of the biggest ones in his career thus far, with a budget of roughly RM53,300,000.
"It's an international story, and we wanted to a film that looks excellent. If we've met that international benchmark, we've done our jobs," said the four-time Indian National Film Award winner and holder of India's prestigious Padma Shri title.
The film also chalks up a number of achievements, such as being one of the first few films in the world to be equipped with the Auro 3D sound format, and the first Indian film to be releasing 3,000 prints worldwide.
Also attending the press conference was debutante actress Pooja Kumar, who alongside Rahul Bose and Andrea Jeremiah, plays a key role in Vishwaroopam.
Vishwaroopam is slated to open on Jan 11 next year.
Kamal also made a guest appearance at the Kuala Lumpur International Indian Music Festival (KLIMF) at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil Saturday night, which featured South Indian music director Yuvan Shankar Raja.
The crowd was thrilled when Kamal not only screened two trailers for Vishwaroopam, but also sang with Yuvan's father, music maestro Ilaya Raja.

Well it seems like Kamal's challenge has been accepted ... And he might he get his Biriyaani...
I only hope that he shows the same sensitivity to Hinduism too...Will a promise of Thayir Saadam help to tone down his 'specific' attacks on Brahmins ? Just kidding...
anyways...here is wishing the movie all success and hoping that it will not hurt sentiments of a particular community or religion. Will be my last post. thanks

"Where a smile has been refused." ....... in a sympathetic tone comes from the right speaker ( East on the imaginary map )

Hi Anban
You said "now show me where are his unjustified specific attacks on Brahmins ??? "
That is not my point at all.... I was only trying to say that if he is really an atheist ...let him attack all communities, castes & religions...because one can find some fault or other with all of them..Why single out one for bashing...and try to be nice to another ? ... if he is really worried about offending sensibilities, then let him not offend anyone...Else I would accuse him of appeasement or even worse hypocrisy.
I would say that just as some people use religion for profit and politics...he uses atheism for profit...in a cold calculated way...
In most of his movies...even in his critically acclaimed ones...his negative characters have been Hindus. Nasser as a 'Saivaite' villain in Anbe Sivam, The Mahanadhi villain who is a pedophile..but does a lot of Pooja and Homams ...And those attacks ... The picture of the mother goddess (mute and powerless) in the background ...in Mahanadhi, when he finds his girl in a brothel ......or the same mother goddess in Rani Mukherji's house in Hey Ram ?
From a cinematic perspective...these touches are great...But will he have the guts to share his message using symbols and deities of other religions ?
Can he come out with all guns blazing like a Christopher Hitchens...taking on Christianity, Islam AND Hindusim.... ?
This will really be my last post in this thread...thanks.

Very well said. KH very well knows if he portrays/ridicules other faith there will be strong opposition, so he doesn't have the guts to do it. Hindus are known to be (or rather become tolerant... and kind of victim of "ivan romba nallavanda" syndrome) and don't react. In TFI, Tambrams are to believers as what KFC/Coca Cola are to Capitalism and US of A, whenever there's a protest against US of A, it is always the KFC that gets vandalized.

in Dasavathaaram, the villain is a Christian..
in Mahanadi, one nasty character was named thulukkaanam.. athellaam ivangalukku theriyaathu pola..
the majority in our country are hindus.. hence the majority of villains and negative characters are also hindus..

the late christopher hitchens mainly attacked his own religious roots - christianity
both Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett and Sam Harris attack religious basis of understanding reality and also initiate / trigger provocative discussions / debates on the nature of reality - Dawkins as an evolutionary biologist, and Harris & Dennett as neuroscientists, approach the issues at hand with their respective educational background - Dawkins and Harris especially come down hard on Islam for reasons that cannot be refuted and often give statistics and real figures to support their arguments - Dawkins gets emotional and every now and then forays into areas where IMO he would be better off avoiding since he does shows signs of not being able to handle himself - Dennett is the most soft-spoken of these new-age atheists
Kamal has a right to say anything he wants to / chooses to - its entirely upto you or me to pick and choose what he portrays and interpret it our ways - but am fairly certain that Kamal reads or has read the scriptures - Hindu, Christian or Islamic - before he even tries to say anything about them in his films - one has to give it to him - he is well-read
does he use the supposedly gullible junta to impose his one-sided rationalist ideas to make money ? if he did so, in the long run, he wouldnt survive, coz, ppl would see through such nonsense!
anyway, on a related and yet digressive note, saw Ang Lee's "LIFE OF PI" - absolutely brilliant take on faith, religion and 'god' (the main character worships Vishnu, Christ and Allah and even goes to the Kabbalah!!) - brilliant visuals and a plot of Somerset Maughamian proportions - no offence directed at any religion but very subtly compares them all, even gives muted laughs at the very nature of 'belief' as against 'reason and rational thinking' !
this is where Kamal often fails, and gives the impression of offending some religious belief or the other - his references to 'dasarathar had a 1000 wives, kumbudra saamingalukkellaam rendu voodu' kindof quotes - though maybe true - do not go down well with audiences who probably look the other way, when it came to such questions regarding polygamy of their gods on the one hand, and their own personal 'moral' code on monogamous sanctity on the other - adhaavadhu "naama kumbudra saami rendu pondattikku mela vachhirukkum bodhu, naama yeppadi, mathhavanga antharanga vaazhkaila advise panna muddying ?" appdeennu yaen makkal sindhikka maattaen yengiraargalnu Kamal sollaama sollraar! oru vidhathhula vaasthavamaana pecchu thaen - enakku prachana illa - but i cant speak for others

Some folks conveniently forget that Kamal is being fiercely accused by some Muslim groups, of wrongful depiction of Muslims in Hey Ram and Unnai pOl oruvan! (that UPO was just a remake of Naseeruddin shah starring "A Wednesday" doesnt matter to these Morons!).
And there was this gentlemen who had a twisted interpretation of Sakteth Ram Questioning Gandhi on that Calcutta House's Window Scene in Hey Ram "Are you not responsible?" that Kamal is pointing fingers at Suhrawardy/Muslim league for the 1946 August riots. NONE have made an art/padaippu which was more eloquent, well-informed, absolutely balanced than Hey Ram. He damningly indicts both the Islamists and the Brahmins/Hindu Orthodox as outsiders to the Indian realm - by that Conversation that Saketh and Amjad have in those Dark Alleys of Chandni Chowk - which infuriates the learned souls of the double born more than the other variety!
The same Saketh who questions gandhi/Suhrawardy also questions his mAmA's orthodoxy and makes fun of the jOsiyar who portends that since he deals with Dead artefacts(of Indus Valley Civilisation) he is cursed and so he does not have a happy life.
And the most poetic scene - is the one at the Maharaja's bungalow in Maharashtra on Ram lila night - where every "bhakthA" Wines and dines extravagantly with Painted Harridans and copulates with them furiously, whencet he mahArAjA with the backdrop of Hitler's portrait cajoles the "sevaks" to avenge the defiling of bhArath mAtha by killing Gandhi.
AnbE sivam so very beautifully depicts - in a simple canvas, that which Life of Pi does on an extraordinarly Large scale (Kamal is a connoisseur - thanks to him a Large number of people came to know about Life of Pi).
I just love how Virumaandi starts to wear a "thilakam" in red over and above the Ash, on his Forehead, after - he is embraced by the nAyakkars and back-stabbed by his own community, Priest and God! It's about the People.
IMHO Kamal probably has the most exquisite, exhaustive understanding of Religion/Spirituality among the Indian film makers.

IMO it way larger than that. It is about the vacuity of 'outsider' arguments in a civilization like India. Originally Posted by geno

And while trying to save him, Saket, calls him Bharath - Ram's devoted brother who, according to some was several times his better ஆயிரம் ராமர் நின்கேழ் ஆவரோ தெரியின் அம்மா always acted as a lesser, younger brother. And, even when given the throne, gave it to Rama's slippers and ruled in his name. That is pretty much the 'practical' solution of Yusuf Khan becoming Dilip Kumar!
But relinquishing one's identity to fit into the bullies' demands of acceptability is rejected by Amjad. 'en pEr Amjad Ali Khan...and if you want, you can add a Pathan!'
Mohenjo Daro scene
Amjad: kuzhandhainga viLayAda bommai vENumnu ninaicha civilizaton
Saket: correct dhaan, aanaa neeyum naanum ippo vaazharadhu andha civilization illaiyE
Chandni Chowk
Saket: Khyber kaNavAi vazhiyA vandha vidhEsi
Amjad: aanaa appo naan poRakkaliyE..naan un kooda piRandhavan dA
As simple as that!
Amjad is telling Saket something that he knew but simply clouded up under the sway of fundamentalist influence
Saket (to Chari): inge yaarumE svayamA pEsaradhE theriyalaiyE...ennai pisAsu pEsa vaikkaRadhu 'ngREL neenga, ungaLai en mAmA kudukkuRa kAsu pEsa vaikkaradhu 'ngREn naan.
Can we, the viewers, actually disagree
Just that it is not the kind of spectre Chari thought of, but an ideological one that has changed Saket.
What is a 'svayam' after all if not an accretion of ideas and influences crystallizing into a worldview, which itself one sees morphing (one believes evolving, but that's just another belief!) over time.
What brilliant writing!
Hmmm.....

“The biggest jolt that the film is getting is in the form of Kamal Hassan’s biggie Vishwaroop which is a spy thriller. In fact in terms of budget, scale and grandeur, it is leaps and bounds above ‘Matru…’.

Remember that the MohenjaDaro scenes where Sir Mortimer Wheeler (who strongly postulated and reinforces the AIT) - is the Guru of Amjad and Saketh Ram. This is what many people who are uncomfortable to accept what Kamal is alluding to by having him in the Film's script, and making Both Amjad and Saketh as his under studies do!
This kind of Dishonesty is at best Laughable!
When Jannal opening can have much meaning (thanks to this link : http://www.uiowa.edu/~incinema/HEYRAM.html) - how could someone with no hidden agenda seek to nullify the presence of mortimer wheeler?!!
Both Saketh ands Amjad knew about the AIT and there is the obvious reference to it by Amjad in Chnadni Chowk.
Missing Mortimer Wheeler in Hey Ram's script is nothing short of willful misrepresentation of Facts!
Thats the more comfortable interpretation - The actual Fact is Hey Rams script exposes that both the Warring Idealogies are "outsiders" in the First place. Originally Posted by P_R

Amjad: Jinnah’s daughter considered India as her own country, and stayed back. I am Gandhi’s son. I have decided to stay here.
Saket: Decided? With whose permission?
Amjad: I don’t need anyone’s permission to live in my own country!
Saket: Your country? You foreigners walked across the Khyber and ruled us for 700 years!
Amjad: I was not born then. I belong to your times. Many came from the Khyber. Why pick on me? You call me a Foreigner! Aren’t you also a foreigner?
Amjad: Some say that your Lord Ram came across the Khyber.

I have mentioned the 'outsider Rama' line in many discussions earlier. In particular Amjad's retort 'sari, unnOda raamanai paththi pEsalai...ennOda Raamanai paththi pEsarEn..what's happened to you - pinning him to the wall with anger borne out of love.
In this discussion it wasn't relevant methought. Now my intention is not to point out that Kamal's focus is to say how the Hindu right wing - feeling emasculated (munnooru varushamA engaLai aaNda thimiru dA ungaLukku) is itself on weak ground - if one were to make a historical precedence argument. Because the same could be said to him.
The most important line in the scene is Amjad's 'appo naan porakkaliyE'. It directs it to the important problem: that the newborn India is to come to terms with its present. And it is vitally vitally important that it is said by an archaeologist and not by someone who wants to ignore history. Because one HAS to have an interest in the past and understand what happened. But never ever forget that history is....well, history. Else we will confuse grandfathers and grandson, we confuse individuals and groups, typify and stereotype and nurse hatred forever.
And as if it were not already clear, he has the doctor ram the point clearly again: look at that child. It has not even decided it's religion yet.
The line 'izhandhadhai uNarndhidu' - a fundamentalist could take it his own way: 'we' have lost so much because of 'them'. But the same line is an indictment of the losses suffered by fundamentalism itself.
It exposes the exaggerated relevance and guaranteed disaster of insider/outsider thinking. Particularly in a complex civilization with centuries of coexistence. Originally Posted by geno

Apologies for coming back..after stating earlier that my previous post will be my last...
But , I couldn't resist replying after seeing some great posts. And it is wonderful to see the kind of decency and objectivity of responses ...in this forum.
Not being a regular member of this forum, I now see that this topic has been discussed in the past too...
Well, I just wanted to make a few more points...
First a note on Christopher Hitchens...He was not just anti-Christian...You must watch his you tube debates against the Jewish Rabbis...or his take on Islam...and his points against Hinduism in his debate with Shashi Tharoor. He was anti religious and an atheist in the truest sense. And he beat ALL religions with the same stick.(No majority/minority business). He cared sh*t about who will get offended and who will not...I agree that everyone need not be like Hitchens...but I was trying to give an example of what a good atheist would be like ...
Second, My post was in response to a news item, where Kamal goes out of the way to explain that his movie Viswaroopam will not offend Muslims. And followed up with a 'Biriyani and Haasan is your brother' comment...It shows that he cares for the feelings of a certain community...So as a Hindu ...I wanted the same sensitivity and respect to be shown to Hinduism too...
I definitely think that he makes calculated attacks....knowing whose feathers to ruffle and how much.
If it is true that a majority of his fans and a large number of people feel that his selective targeting is perfectly acceptable...and he is only being a good Periyarist...
then...there is nothing much to discuss...
But, I personally find him hypocritical...And I would label him a Anti-Hindu rather than an Atheist...or a rationalist...
Lastly, Anyone who is pained by what is said about Hinduism and raises his voice ...automatically does not become a Hindutvaadi...or Hindu Munnani-vadi or an evil Brahminist...He may just be a pained Hindu...voicing his opinion...like me ...that's all.
Note: If the moderators permit, I would like to open a separate thread on Anbe-Sivam...where Kamal hassan has shown a dichotomy...between 'Religion or Religiosity' vs 'Humanity or Human brotherhood'. Or in other words 'Religious Sivam' vs 'Anbe Sivam'.
In Anbe Sivam...I was not surprised when the typical Kamal Hassan brand Hindu-prototype-villain keeps on saying 'Thennadudaya Sivane Potri' or 'his Varam' before hatching his evil plans....But I was genuinely taken aback when Kamal said that the inspiration for the movie was 'Aham Brahmasmi' ... in a public function...I then felt that he cannot have it both ways...
BTW...the flawed or incorrect translation of 'Aham Brahmasmi' is 'Naan Kadavul'

This is very very important to ensure - to record, accept and acknowledge - how the Outsiders have completely razed down any Space for Indigenous cultures in India. Organized Religion has killed the Tribal Spirit/Spiritualism and Space for ethnic cultural ethos to root and nurture. This is clearly recorded as the subtle irony of the whole bloody situation of Religious Fraud masquerading as varna/Cast and Religious fundamentalist wars destroying the Indian subcontinent.
This is an important instrument/tool - to Desconstruct the Domineering organized religions and cutting them down to size - that task is even larger than that of any individuals - be Amjad or a Saketh.
Ulaga amaithi, Vasudaiva kudumbakam, anbE sivam, vengaayam - all these are there in every other recounting of Conflict zones and their discourse..but every Conflict shall be Told and Acknowledged for what it is rather than poosi mezhugifications!
Kamal the Periyarist who discourses about Neelakanda Sastry and Sindhu samaveLi nAgarikam - has written the script of Hey Ram. Any Tom, Dick and Harry would understand and acknowledge - what Kamal is trying to imply by including Mortimer Wheeler and the by that conversation in Chandni Chowk. One should not try to subvert the obvious and expect not to fall flat on the ground!
Justice flows out of Honest intentions - not by manipulation of facts!
Hey Ram Calls the Hindu Bluff very subtly - which left some Maneuvering space to Spin doctoring Goebbelsian agents; which is why he explicitly called the Hindu bluff in Dasavatharaam, where no fly-by-night operator can Put "kOnAr notes!" for what he wrote in the script!

I disagree with your reading. I find it highly constrained.
As long as history is viewed as the good guys the bad guys and their respective scions, who are to be considered indistinguishable from their forbears, disaster is guaranteed.
That is what the movie seems to be saying. But it said that without advocating a shunning of history or identity, but putting them in the context of the times. In my opinion, it would take a bit of effort to miss that.
I have my questions about Kamal's Periyarist claims, particularly how that sits with his Gandhian admiration. That panjAyaththu is for another day
That said, let me also apply for anticipatory-bail wrt Viswaroopam - and therby become relevant to the thread
With the progressive decline in his aesthetic edge and subtlety in writing and with the natural constraints of the market gamble now, I will not be surprised if Kamal ends up being disappointingly simplistic. (I will gladly eat my words if it proves to be otherwise). But that in itself should not urge us to read his earlier works like Hey Ram, Mahanadhi etc. in a narrow manner.

So many questions and concerns if it is a Kamal movie.
Why Kamal really did not get shot at the climax scene of Kuruthipunal. He should have got special permission from government and asked the other actor to really shoot him dead. Now we all know Kamal's hidden agenda of liking to live longer and hence did not become realistic.
Blah blah blah.

but i repeat again pl. let the discussions be about the movie and news surrounding it.

The politically correct way for criticizing any religion is to say "Do not blame the religion just because a few 'bad' people have interpreted it wrongly and are behaving badly "... IMO, this rule does not seem apply to Hinduism, particularly in Kamal movies...where the target is the religion itself...and not the bad eggs...
I expect that this politically correct message will be imparted again in Viswaroopam.
Anyways...respecting the comments from other hubbers here...I will not proceed further.
The trailer looks fantastic... And I wish all success for the movie. And hope that Kamal Hassan , the great creative artist that he is...gives us a great film...

Nowhere in the entire Hey Ram - are the Muslims (including the Muslim League) shown to conspire to "finish off" the Indian leadership and its soul (at that time) MK gandhi.
Hindu Mahasabha's conspiracy to finsh off Gandhi is shown in excruciatingly painful detail! Why would Kamal do that if he was just trying to make a "feel good" or "preachy good" film like " A Beautiful Life"?!
Kamal builds a Damn good case against the Hindu Mahasabha / RSS - right from the "indoctrination" to "seeding the evil" of dichotomy of society, Hypocrisy of Killing Ravanan's effigee - while indulging in debauchery/Drunkardness/Soma rasas!
Let us not forget the "Hitler" Motif strongly indicting the "natural affinity" of the Brahmanical Hindu Mahasabha with the Nazi regime / philosophy..
The lamentation of Maharaja that "all doors are shut for 'people' like him in the Independent nation " thereby exposing how the Varna system colluded with the Maharaajaas in perpetuating casteist/totalitarian social system by empowering the Vain glorious Rajas while operating from the sidelines....
Exposing that there were many attempts to assassinate Gandhi, thereby how murderously thirsty the Hindu mahasabha/RSS was against the Gujarati Baniya "Shudra" Gandhi!...
The Dalit who thinks 100 times before coming into the house to deliver the telegram ( "mAmA illaiyE uLLA vA")...
- the film is full of expose`s of the Varna Villainy and the RSS attempts to bring back Manuvaadhi Indian social system back....
Kamal presents the case against the Brahmanical/Varna/Hinduisation project of the Saffron variety - so very very well that the BJP Govt. then (in 1999/2000) sent half of the "cabinet Ministers" to see the film and "filter" it!
Remember the Gandhi assassination aftermath in Hey Ram:
Saketh waits at the Birla House as Lord Mountbatten arrives and he tries to pacify the crowd by saying that it was a Hindu, not a Muslim, who killed Gandhiji. They have this conversation:
“Nehru:
How did you know it was a Hindu?
Mountbatten:
I didn't. Was it a Hindu?
Nehru:
Yes.
Mountbatten:
Thank God for that! Or the country would have been torn apart.”
Kamal the dispassionate writer - clearly indicates what would have happened if a muslim had killed Gandhi, if his motive wasn't to discuss or put on trial who was guilty, or in more explicit terms, what "identity" was the culprit - why then, should he have had this scene ?!
We all know that "Hindustan" safeguarded RSS, Veer savarkar and other Hindu Mahasabha "stalwarts" who were part of the conspiracy to assassinate the "Father of the Nation!"
The ban on RSS was lifted in a couple of years!
Now, Pray tell us, whom are these Self-anointed "Humanist researchers" trying to hoodwink!

What can one say about people who miss the "Bigger Picture" of Hey Ram - it is not about 2 individuals or even group of individuals - the individuals are mere tools in the Hands of the Writer/creator who Showcases, thru their lives and times, the Grandiose lie that was the Hindu Conglomerate religion with its "cream" of Alien priests and virulent and unjust and machiavellian ideaologies - and how the Indian sub-continent was being crushed on the weight of organized Religions' pet Wars which were against the people.
A tailpiece on Periyar's reaction to Gandhi's assasination:
Periyar deeply regretted the assassination of Gandhi by a Brahmin. In a obituary, Periyar suggested that India
should be named as “Gandhi Nadu (Nation)” in honour of Gandhi’s martyrdom.
This inspite of the fact that Periyar strongly opposed in principle , Gandhi's politics and continued to oppose after Gandhi passed away too!
We can open a separate thread to discuss How Periyar exposed what/Whom/Why Gandhi was killed - if it would not be shut down!!
But that was all in later stages, earlier Periyar when he was with congress - was probably the best organizer that congress ever had - almost all the successful struggles that congress backed - the Vaikom struggle, anti-untouchability movements , Prohibition movements - to ban Toddy (kaL), periyar cut down 100s of coconut / palm trees in his lands - just because Gandhi had called for a massive movement against Toddy.
Gandhi had remarked that he could not stop that Massive கள்ளுக்கடை மறியல், but it can be stopped only by periyar's wife nAgammai and his sister Kannammai, such was the commitment to Gandhian Politics/Policies that Periyaar had in early 1920s.
Perhaps, Kamalhassan has actualy read history and acknowledges it for what it is, rather than listening to his mAmAs' version of history! (its altogether a different matter that one or two of Kamal's mAmAs were actually rationalists!)

geno,
I've been following this exchange between you and P_R (and some of your earlier Kamal-related posts as well). If I may barge in..
The puzzling thing for me with your readings (even if I might agree with the points you make) is that it doesn't have much to do with the central concerns of the film (Hey! Ram) itself. I mean, let's ask ourselves a very simple question. If the film is really about "how the Outsiders have completely razed down any Space for Indigenous cultures in India," how "Organized Religion has killed the Tribal Spirit/Spiritualism and Space for ethnic cultural ethos to root and nurture. any Space for Indigenous cultures in India," why don't we even see much of these indigenous cultures in the film?! Why is there no scope in the film's narrative to even dwell on these aspects for a while? In other words, and to put it quite bluntly, I find your unreserved praise for Kamal (even in the previous instances) quite odd and puzzling considering your own strong conviction in these matters on the one hand and how his film on the other hand doesn't deal with all these undercurrents more meaningfully.
Let me make this very clear: Kamal has indeed thoughtfully put these as passing lines in the film. (Actually I doubt even P_R suggests otherwise but I'll let him speak for himself.) But it must be said that these are passing lines in the film. It can even be argued that, while Islamist invasion is mentioned pretty openly, the point about Ram is left ambiguous, had to be mentioned in a "oh the jury is still out on that one" tone within the film. You may say it must have been the pressure of the censors and so on, but doesn't it point to P_R's reading either way?
And as for your previous post, I totally agree with what you're saying here.

Just to clarify, here I mean this post where you talk about how the film exposes the politics of Hindu fundamentalist forces, details their plans to finish off Gandhi who himself was profoundly Hindu, makes it explicit it was a Hindu, links it to the rise of Hindutva politics in contemporary times, and so on. (இதெல்லாம் ஏன் சொல்றீங்கன்னு தான் புரியல. I mean, I don't get where exactly is the disagreement/argument between you two here?) I hadn't read the next post when I wrote this.

One may not agree with AIT, but doesnt take rocket science to understand - that someone (THE ONE AND ONLY MAINSTREAM FILM MAKER TO DO THIS IN INDIA - KAMALHASSAN ) who Directly tells the "Holy cows" that their roots are from elsewhere, and so they better stop the Varna Fraudulent drama in the name of Tradition/Religion/bharatha varshaa, is the man who is the voice of the stolen / shredded Generations of Varna oppressed and the ethnic communities.
If i dont / one doesnt call - someone who does that - as a Voice of the Indigenous "agathi" permanently locked up in the realms of varna, what do we call such an artist?
This is a political move, otherwise Kamal the creator wouldnt choose to go down that route - to talk about religious fundamentalism.
One has to be just a onlooker , not a researcher, to accept the fact that this inclusion of this "Historical version" implies the Politics that go with it; there couldnt be two ways about that.
Tch..tchh.. Let's not play this game from the beginning shall we? Amjad makes an "informed"/"expert"/direct Piercing Poser - to Saketh which infuriiates the normally composed (outwardly) Saketh.while Islamist invasion is mentioned pretty openly, the point about Ram is left ambiguous, had to be mentioned in a "oh the jury is still out on that one" tone within the film.

If one wants to play ignorant about Periyarist Kamal having AIT as a very critical backdrop for his Film criticising Religious Fundamentalism (of all hues) they can..but the truth is, whether one agrees with AIT/Periyar or not, one has to agree that the "Politics" that goes with Proposition of AIT is the Dravidian/Ethnic politics.

Forget outsiders razing down the space for indigenous cultures, why are they not present even in Kamal's own film (except in fringes, like the Dalit who hesitates to enter Saket's house and so on) if it's supposed to be about all that?

அதென்ன "background implicit voiceovers?" (How exactly does the film reference 'parAsakthi' or any of the 1950s Dravidian movement-related films?) And what is he stating? (When does the film imply anything to that effect?) Sorry to belabour the point, but I think you haven't answered my question yet. Why does the film seriously get into examining the Hindu-Muslim religious hate politics and not into the dubiousness of claims of indigenous among aryans (brahmins, upper caste Hindus or what have you) which it seems to add (thoughtfully, no doubt) just as footnotes of sorts? Originally Posted by geno

"whats the brouhahah!... you dont even belong here!" If this is what the film means to convey -- i.e. whom the place actually belongs to, why does the film not bother to actually represent the truly indigenous people?
As I said, (I do think) the film is a view of the past and the current (the latter is also just as crucial) religious fundamentalism refracted through Dravidian politics. But that doesn't automatically mean the film is about who the true indigenous people are. Quite on the contrary, as PR argued earlier, the film points to the dangers of such an exercise -- while at the same time emphasising that it is important to excavate the past to understand the current (which is exactly what the film does). Dravidian politics goes well beyond the question of "who the natives are" and is one of the forerunners in progressive politics in all of India with regard to the "outsiders" question. Just because they defied/defy brahmin hegemony and in general took on the brahmins do not mean their politics is in its essence exclusionary.
Anyway, here's how I think it's refracted through Dravidian politics. The film, though it admires the Gandhian position of sanity amidst all the hatred and violence, does problematize his mixing of politics and religion (a dangerous combination as the other Saket Ram puts it at a point in the film). Gandhi was a profoundly Hindu figure (and also one one who privileged the traditional over the modern on some counts) and he put it to full use in the realm of politics. There's an overlap between this soft Hindu mobilization and the destructive aggressive Hindutva forces that the film examines. In this sense, I think the film's viewpoint is informed by Dravidian politics.
A couple of great pieces (the latter is actually a collection of thoughts from multiple people): http://jamalantamil.blogspot.in/2007...g-post_27.html, http://satyamshot.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/232/

That's probably because of Kamal's credibility! That's why inspite of being opposed to his stance on certain issues - like FEFSI issue, South Indian Film Actors asociation name issue - people like me (and many others) still respect him. Probably bacause he put the "pan indian" pseudo-creators firmly in their place by redefining the meaning of rooted, earthy and indigenous film in giving "thEvar magan"(1992).

I already made this request to the "Kamal Fans association" here before. One has to see the complete video footage of the interview that Kamal 'granted' to Sun TV in August 2000 (the interviewer was Vairamuthu). That was just a few months after Hey Ram was released - the interview was so Candid and in your Face that Sun TV "jeeyars" decided to censor the interview so very badly that just about 10-15 mins of it was actually aired!
It would be great if only someone could get the "entire, unedited, uncensored" video of that interview, a lot of "guides" to Hey Ram, can be retired peacefully!
donno if Any Kamal Fans are up for this job.
---------------------
UPO seems to be "quite at odds with the ideological position" that Hey Ram takes(according to some) and Dasaavathaaram seems to be more steps closer to the Politics that Hey Ram carried (according to me) by "Pulling the Carpet from under the (Hindu) Feet" - de-masking that there was no Hindus - but just a bunch of different religious denominations warring over space/resources just until a few hundred years ago in India! (Kamal pissed off many holy cows with Dasa than he did with Avvai shanmugi!)
And i have said this before - and will say this again - No matter what happens with "rest of Kamal's career" whether i like VR or not, i would continue to Respect him. One more reason for that would be that introduced "pErAsiriyar tho. Paramasivan" to the Mainstream Thamizh kaLam, by crediting him for that Famous final scene dialogue (KadavuL illainnu sollala; irunthirunthA nallA irukkumnuthAn solREn). Incidentally tho.pA is an expert on thamizh thol marabu / indigenous art, culture.

I feel theatrical release (esp in chennai) is very very important to cross 100 crore mark. DTH issue is all water under the bridge. let sir drop that and concentrate on releasing the movie smoothly.

He needs to blame himself!
Perhaps you know this already, but to put on record i have slammed KH for both his film work / non-film work before! And KH never invokes/utilses thamizh thEsiyam and so we dont have too much of an expectations from him on that count.
Ofcourse - the Man who wants to make marudhanaayagam and who talks about Us and Them/ethnicism/indegenous when it comes to Walmart - will be expected to have consistent standards and i will criticize him if he sticks up for a totalitarian regime like then one we have in India currently.....

The 'rama rajya' is mentioned in passing the prayer speech. I felt the film was not particularly critical of Gandhi's unabashedly Hindu vocabulary. If the film was indeed refracted through Dravidian politics, it would have problematized this. I felt it did not do that enough. And I can understand that too. It was because at that stage in the film, what needed to be conveyed was that the Gandhian way as rising above hatred, was the only damn way out. And thus I felt Kamal chose not to grapple with the complexities in Gandhian politics itself (which has, at various stages been criticized, for being dreamy and soft on traditional socioeconomic oppressors).

Of course, the Hindu right-wing's criticism of Gandhi as someone as an anti-Hindu force is presented extremely well (the Raja's Vijayadashami speech).
It is quite likely a vast majority of the audience are woefully ignorant about the background of Gandhi's murder and what the Hindut right wing had against him. That was succinctly expressed without compromising the plausibility of the scene (pardon the usage of the 'p' word ).
For centuries we have been worshipping the instruments of valour. Today he wants us to give that up and worship a new God. Himself

Taking about Agent Vinod or Ek tha tiger, they are Spy Film genre but does not really capture anything on Agent stuff. They both landed up as "Didi tera devar dewana" rather than spying.
Cannot pronounce for Vishawaroopam, yet.
As Kamal mentioned about Spy movies made by French Film makers, I recomend Triple Agent by Eric Rohmar. You have known double agents, now meet the Triple and its set in 1936. Masterpiece.

Again a lot of History needs to be assimilated before completely taking in all the implicit messages that Kamals screenplay leaves in every Frame of thEvar magan.
people who are not aware of the "mudukuLathur kalavaram" of 1957, When maRavar community indulged in arson against Dalit communities - may not understand the what the writer imports into the scenes during "pORRi pAdadi ponnE" song.
I had previously written here:
http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...l=1#post866902

Periya thEvar of "maRavar nAdu" gives the most important place in the order of his social milieu - to Periyaar, has a huge significance, since Periyaar actually was the only Political leader who opposed the Muthuramalinga thEvar lead "kalavarm" of 1957 mainly targetting dalit communities.
History/background of the 1957 mudhukulathur kalavaram:
http://www.keetru.com/index.php?opti...012&Itemid=752
Periyar's role in opposing the Caste hindus violence against Dalits:
முதுகுளத்தூரில் தாழ்த்தப்பட்ட ஆதி திராவிட மக்களுக்கு எதிராக நடடநத சாதிக் கலவரத்தில் முத்துராமலிங்கத் தேவருக்கு எதிராகக் குரல் கொடுத்த ஒரே தலைவர் பெரியார் தான். 1957 ஆம் ஆண்டு பெரியார் அறிவித்த சாதி ஒழிப்புக்கான சட்ட எரிப்புக் கிளர்ச்சியே முதுகளத்தூரில் தாழ்த்தப்பட்ட ஆதிதிராவிட மக்களுக்கு எதிரான கலவரத்தின் தொடர்ச்சியான தாக்கம்தான்.
http://www.keetru.com/index.php?opti...011&Itemid=641
முதுகுளத்தூர் கலவரத்தைத் தொடர்ந்து, முத்துராமலிங்க தேவர் கைது செய்யப்பட்ட போது பெரியார் விடுத்த அறிக்கை: ‘உயர் திருவாளர் பசும்பொன் முத்துராம லிங்கத் தேவரை ஆட்சியாளர் கைது செய்தது பற்றி ஒரு சில கும்பல்கள் முதலைக் கண்ணீர் வடிக்கத் தொடங்கியிருக்கின்றன. பார்ப்பன ஏடுகளான ‘தினமணி’, ‘கல்கி’ போன்றவைகள் அவரை விடுதலை செய்ய வேண்டுமென்று கசிந்துருகிக் கண்ணீர் மல்கி எழுதுகின்றன. கலவரப் பிரச்சினையோடு சம்மந்தமில்லாத பல்வேறு சங்கதிகளைக் கலந்து, முதலமைச்சர் மீது தவறான எண்ணங்களைக் கற்பித்து விஷமத்தனமாக எழுதியிருக்கின்றன. ‘சமாதானக் குழு என்ற பெயரினால் புறப்பட்டிருக்கிற எதிர்க்கட்சிக்காரர்களின் கலவரக் கும்பலும் கோவிந்தா! கோவிந்தா!’ என்று இம்மாதத்தில் சனிக்கிழமைக் காலையில் சிறுவர்கள் வீடு தோறும் சென்று கத்துவதுபோலக் கத்திக் கொண்டிருக்கிறது. ‘திரு. தேவர் அவர்களுக்குக் கட்சியு மில்லை; கொள்கையுமில்லை. ‘சுபாஷ் போஸ் உயிரோடிருக்கிறார்’ என்பது மட்டும் ஒரு கட்சிக்குக் கொள்கையாகிவிடுமா? தேவர் தம் சிறந்த பேச்சுச் சக்தியைப் பயன்படுத்தி, தம் ஜாதிக்காரர்களின் தனிப் பெருந் தலைவரா யிருந்துகொண்டு, அதன் மூலம் சட்டசபை அல்லது பார்லிமெண்டில் பதவி பெறுவது என்பதே அவரது பொதுத் தொண்டாயிருந்து வருகிறது. எதிர்க்கட்சிகள் தேர்தலில் வெற்றிப் பெற்று மந்திரிசபை அமைக்க முடிந்தால் அதில் தமக்கொரு மந்திரி கிடைக்குமா என்பதற்காக 2, 3 பேர்களைச் சேர்த்துக் கொண்டு தனிக் கட்சியமைப்பவராதலால் அந்த வாய்ப்பு இல்லையென்றவுடனேயே பார்லிமெண்ட் உறுப்பினர் பதவியை வைத்துக் கொண்டு (அதிக ஊதியம் அதில் இருப்பதால்) எம்.எல்.ஏ. பதவியை உதறிவிட்டார். தன்னந் தனியாய்ப் பார்லிமெண்டில் போய் இவர் என்ன சாதிக்கப் போகிறார் என்பதைப் பற்றி அவரைத்தான் கேட்க வேண்டும். ‘ஜாதி வெறியை வளர்த்து மற்ற ஜாதிகளை ஒடுக்கி வைத்துத் தான் ஒரு தனிக்காட்டு ராஜா மாதிரி இருந்து வந்தால் ஜாதி ஒழிப்புக் காரராகிய நாம் வருந்தாமலிருக்க முடிய வில்லை. ஜாதி வெறி வேரூன்றிவிட்டால் ஜன நாயகத் துக்கோ, பகுத்தறிவுக்கோ, பொதுநலத் தொண்டுக்கோ, ஒழுக்கத்துக்கோ, நீதிக்கோ இடமில்லை. ‘தேவர் சிறைவாசத்தை நாமும் விரும்ப வில்லை என்றாலும், இந்தச் சூழ்நிலையில் அவரைச் சிறைப் பிடிக்காதிருந்தால் சாதிச் சண்டை நின்றிருக்காதென்பது உறுதி. அவர் வெளியிலிருந்த வரை கலவரம் நடந்து கொண் டிருந்ததும், கைது செய்யப்பட்ட பின் கலவரம் அடியோடு ஓய்ந்திருப்பதும் குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

Geno, I really appreciate your posts. Myself, I get a lot of interesting information.
But coming on track realted to cinema and history (retold), the common audience should be educated, else the whole esence is lot. They are completly out of place or ignorant when viewing the movie. And dont ask me about the critics who without any research write reviews as discussed in tea shops.
I claim every work of Kamal being it Comedy or Drama a well experienced work. Even in 5tantram, the regional potrayal was wonderful. Include Mumbai express too. But do all get the same feeling.
When Hey Ram bombed, Kamal himself accepted his mistake for not making the movie in par with the audience. How many noted the sync of bgm with the scenes. Each and every raaga was chelsed to adopt the visuals. Notable when he writes the letter to quit and leaves in the morning.
My point is that : Take European and American cine promotions. I draw a comparison :
Here the actors do a press meet and self advertise that they are great human beings. If thats marketing, and thats how they sell their movie, how will the concept of the movie and film making techniques reach common man.
In Europe, several weeks before a movie's release, they put documenty on the films concept on TV. They construct internet sites giving inside information. They promote the links thru super market. Interviews are purely on film making. They make sure the audience are prepared before. Just for the sake : If its about Ghandhi, you see an awareness created around him just before the release. His speech, views and works are released and through strategies, the people are forced to accept and buy them. Here you get an educated audience.
To go further they arrange debts with the audience at the end of the screening. Spl screening for critics, answer their questions so that the fruit reaches the future audience thru reviews. Much care is taken in all this activity which is actually the "promotional". Not just the hero being humble on the stage and letting him talk in the end to keep the crowd and the crowd going "gaga" as soon as he utters his first sentence.
But here how many know Ghandhi's life except seeing him daily on the currency. Turn your TV, and programmes on movie is basically larger than life potrayal of an individual actor. Dont just ask me the questions they ask to the film makers.
If this trend continues, the Kamal's concepts will be often questioned as only limited people are present to defend.

I dont know KH has acted as a dalit fo southern TN yet unless Marudhanayagam comes out. Marudhanayam may never come out. IMO, Ameer has addressed this issue much better than anybody in paruththiveeran if one carefully looks at the plot and the dialogues in it- by showing saNdiyar's mom as a dalit and revealing the ugly attitude of some of the "so-called higher caste" people. Somehow nobody protested against that in "maRavar bhoomi" and ameer got away with it.
-
From: selvakumar on 23rd December 2012 10:30 PM [Full View]
Reason why Ameer got away with that one is that he balanced it nicely with dialogues praising the upper caste by Karthi's father before he dies. I could see people in the theater clapping and whistling a lot for those dialogues more than any thing else. So, I don't see Paruthiveeran ever as a film succeeding in portraying that. The only film that came close to that was Bharathi Kannamma. But there also Cheran has to balance it with a 5 minute "potri paadadi ponnae" song as dialogues by Vijayakumar. Compared to all these films, Sundarapandiyan criticized the attitude directly in a much better way.

Ace actor Kamal Hassan begins shooting for 'Viswaroopam 2'
If it is Kamal Haasan, you can expect the most unexpected. The actor-director, who has always surprised his fans and film-buffs, is now silently busy with one such attempt. In association with Bollywood veteran Shekhar Kapur, Kamal is shooting for a sequel of 'Vishwaroopam'.
"It will hit the screens close on the heels of Vishwaroopam's release," sources say.
Interestingly, Shekhar Kapur has played a crucial role in 'Vishwaroopam' too. The film, scripted, directed and produced by Kamal, will see the light of the day on January.
The film revolves around International terrorism, and sources close to Kamal say that it will be highly balanced and there will be no controversies.

Vishwaroopam is a hot topic in social networking sites for its DTH issue. Earlier reports suggested that SUN DTH won't sign the deal with Vishwaroopam but now closer sources says that SUN DTH has signed the deal already along with Airtel,Tata Sky,Videocon,Dish TV and Sky Tv. Videocon DTH already started their promotional campaign which states that Vishwaroopam Premiere will be telecasted on Jan 10th 9.30 pm and they quote 1000 RS for the Tamil version and 500 RS for Hindi Vishwaroop. Mean time apart from Tamil nadu ,now Kerala theater owners also decided not to support Vishwaroopam. But today Kamal will be flying to Kochin for promotional campaign.

Will Sun give additional money over an above the 40C? This will help Kamal to cover the cost and make a profit even without a release.
And after the premiere show in DTH, theatres will relaize that a huge mass are yet to watch and they will release.
So it is a win-win-win situation for DTH folks, Kamal and theaters. Only hardcore fans will suffer because they will have to wait 2-3 days (till theaters realize the fact) to watch the movie in big screen.

Thanks! I could see that you have a point there. That kind of "social dialogue" requisite for appreciating a Good film is also applicable for a good story/art. Perhaps, as you say, some kind of interest could be developed, but since Kamal likes to keep the Story/concept a surprise, he might not like to reveal anything related about it prior. It is the process of Discovery for a Viewer/movie goer - that is magical for him/any good film maker, it would seem. Originally Posted by mappi

I dont see any of the participants in any of teh discussion even broaching State Sponsored/State abetted /State Policy rapes, which happen thru Armed forces and Police forces and Paramilitary forces thru out the Indian "nation". They dont even talk about "Khap" Panchayats which order "rapes" of women (esp. Dalit women) who violate "Gao")Village) Constitutions!
How could we believe that these Delhi wallahs or for that matter, learned/Middle class people - would show their solidarity with less proivileged and terrorised tribal/Kashmiri muslim/NE women?
That beats me. And im truly sorry about this.

No. marudhanaayagam is from veLALar community (piLLai) in maRavar nAdu (Today's Ramnad district approx.). MK university has literature on Khan Saheb/marudhanaayagam's life. Prof vAnamAmalai has written about him. He was a Rebel, puratchiyALan of those troubled - tumultous times. He rebelled against the varna society and was banished from his caste and village for his "betrayal"....goes the story. Originally Posted by thamiz

Yes Ameer's PAruthi veeran was very real and credible in portraying the tensions because Paruthi veerans mother is from kuravar community.(more of tribal than a Dalit if i remember right)...
And if you count "vincent Poovaragan" in Dasavatharam, who was from nagercoil, than Kamal has indeed played Dalit from Southern TN!

It was a sloppy film and it wasn't even his writing.
And he did not even 'make it his' like he elevated Drohkaal (which was atrociously bad IMO) to Kurudhippunal (which raised the level of discourse exceedingly well).
Here it was a simple right-wing vigilante thriller, which he shouldn't have done in the first place (being anything but a common man), but ended up taking it and dropping the ball. Almost every single slick moment in the original was messed up.
Every change he made to Shah's performance detracted, including the famous teary monologue. yOv, idhellAm subtle-A sonnAlE purinjukkuvOm-yA. engaLai remba mattamA neeyE, adhAvadhu neeyE, ninaichcheennA eppadi - was the overarching feeling.
Like hell 'karappAmboochchi extermination' as a parallel for dealing with terrorists is Kamal's PoV.

Any ads / updates is Reliance Big TV for the premiere?
A short interview yesterday with Kamal in a Malayalam channel :
- English movie is "Yavarum Kelir"
- Viswaroopam 2nd part already started
- Interested in acting "Randamoozham" if he gets a good role because he has to act (compete) with two "rakshasas".
(Talaivare, do not accept it unless you get the role of Bheema or Duryodhana.)

Just spoke to one of my patients who distributes major telugu films in Hyderabad and Telangana belts. Following points he told
# No distibutor or theatre owner in AP is concerned about the DTH premiere and he feels it will not at all affect theatre viewership.
# He told it is some UFO type model ..... ( dont understand what that meant )
# He has already taken distribution rights for Warangal, Karimnagar and Nizamabad districts
# Hyderabad rates quoted were very high and he did not want to take the risk
# He feels viewership of Kamal movies is high only among elite class in AP unlike Rajnikanth whose movies are watched by all sections especially in the last 10 years
# He is very confident that release date of telugu version is 11 Jan, but sometimes things do change in the last week also.

Ayngaran International
Vishwaroopam promotions on
Vishwaroopam is the magnum opus directed by our ulaganayagan Kamalahasan. This film has Pooja kumar and Andrea as the leading ladies. The film had a unique multicity audio release recently and the songs by Shankar- Eshaan-Loy is topping the charts. The film is all set for release during the 11th of January 2013.
Kamalahasan has started his international promotions and during such a promotion for a Singapore FM channel he has confirmed that a sequel to Viswaroopam is confirmed and it will follow the prequel at the earliest. It seems some of the scenes related to the sequel has been already shot and kamal has to complete some more scenes and complete the same. Kamal as usual great.
good to see Ayngaran also started promoting...

One Good thing from Kamal this time around is that he has started the promotions quite well in advance. Since he is introducing the DTH screening for the first time ever, there is enough time to solve the issues surrounding the release.
When the promotions for DTH viewing is already on, now the focus and expectations are on theatrical screening this movie. There is enough amount of interest created in the minds of Tamil people about this movie, most of them eager to know in which theaters the movie is going to be released so that they can book the tickets in advance..
Heard that there is a meeting organized on 28th December in Chennai with Kamal and all the stake holders to take a final decision, Let us hope for the best... I think there should be some peaceful protests against the XXXXnathans & xxxxselvams before that meeting on 28th so that there are lesser problems..

ஹேராம் தோல்விக்குப் பலகாரணங்கள்.
கமலே சமீபத்தில் சொன்னது போல, 20ம் நூற்றாண்டு வரலாறு கூட மக்களுக்குத் தெரியாது என்று கமல் எதிர்பார்க்கவில்லை. "ஓ கோட்ஸே இந்தியரா? வெள்ளைக்காரர் இல்லையா?" என்று யாரோ கமலிடமே கேட்டார்களாம்
"நீங்கள் டிவி'யில் ஒளிபரப்புவதற்கு முன், 1946-48ல் நடந்த நிகழ்வுகளைப் பற்றி newsreel போடுங்கள்" என்று சொன்னார். அதுகூட பத்தாது. 'கிலாஃபத் மூவ்மெண்ட்' என்றால் என்ன என்று தெரியாதவர்கள், அப்யங்கர் என்ன சொல்கிறான், எதனால் சாகேத்துக்கு திடீறென்று காந்தி மீது வெறுப்பு என்றெல்லாம் புரியாது.
தன் வாழ்க்கையில் நேர்ந்த அனுபவங்களால் சாகேத் முஸ்லிம் விரோத மனப்பான்மை அடைந்ததை மக்கள் புரிந்துகொண்டிருப்பார்கள். ஆனால், அவன் ஏன் காந்தியை எதிர்த்தான் என்று புரிந்துகொள்ள சிரமப்பட்டிருப்பார்கள். சுராஹ்வர்தி-காந்தி காட்சிக்குப் பின், அப்யங்கர் 'தாத்தா பக்ரீத் கொண்டாட போயிருக்கார்னு தெரியாது, மட மந்தைக்கு' என்று சொல்வதெல்லாம் போதாது.
புனித மகாத்மாவான காந்தியைக் கூட விமர்சிக்க முடியும், என்பதே பார்வையாளர்களில் பலருக்கு அதிர்ச்சியாக இருக்கும்! இப்படிப்பட்ட சூழலில் இந்தப் படத்தின் மையக்கருத்தான காந்தி-விமர்சனத்தை, இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் விளக்கி இருக்க வேண்டும். அதை வளவளக்காமல், படத்தின் அழகியலுக்கு பங்கம் வராமல் செய்வது மிகப்பெரிய சவால் தான். 'போதுமான அளவு செய்தாகிவிட்டது' என்ற கமலின் அனுமானம் தப்பாகிப் போனது. (Of course it is comfortable to pass these judgements in hindsight. As an artist you take a leap of faith, that this will click and this will not.வேறெப்படியும் செய்திருக்கமுடியாதோ என்றும் தோன்றுகிறது)
மேலும், ஹிந்தியோ..குறைந்தபட்சம் ஆங்கிலமோ கொஞ்சம் கூட தெரியாத ஒருவருக்கு திரையில் நிகழும் பல விஷயங்கள் புரிந்துகொள்ள கடினமாக இருக்கும் என்றே தோன்றுகிறது. இதை (இன்று) ஒரு திரையெழுத்தாளனின் சறுக்கலாகவே பார்க்கிறேன்.
ஆனால் ஒரு விஷயம். இவை எல்லாவற்றையும் மீறி, அப்படத்தின் basic dramatic value அளவிற்குக் கூட ஓடாதது பெரிய ஏமாற்றம் தான். அதை விளங்கிக்கொள்ள முடியவில்லை.
அதனால், சகலோருக்கு எளிதாக விளங்கும் 'எளிமையான' படங்களைத் ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை ஆண்டவர் தர மறுப்பாராக. எல்லோருக்கும் ஏதாவதும், மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பார்ப்போருக்கும் நல்லனுபவமும் மிக்க படங்கள் அருளி, விருமாண்டிக்கு பின் விட்டதைப் பிடிப்பாராக.

மேலும், ஹிந்தியோ..குறைந்தபட்சம் ஆங்கிலமோ கொஞ்சம் கூட தெரியாத ஒருவருக்கு திரையில் நிகழும் பல விஷயங்கள் புரிந்துகொள்ள கடினமாக இருக்கும் என்றே தோன்றுகிறது. இதை (இன்று) ஒரு திரையெழுத்தாளனின் சறுக்கலாகவே பார்க்கிறேன்.
ஆனால் ஒரு விஷயம். இவை எல்லாவற்றையும் மீறி, அப்படத்தின் basic dramatic value அளவிற்குக் கூட ஓடாதது பெரிய ஏமாற்றம் தான். அதை விளங்கிக்கொள்ள முடியவில்லை.
அதனால், சகலோருக்கு எளிதாக விளங்கும் 'எளிமையான' படங்களைத் ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை ஆண்டவர் தர மறுப்பாராக. எல்லோருக்கும் ஏதாவதும், மீண்டும் மீண்டும் பார்ப்போருக்கும் நல்லனுபவமும் மிக்க படங்கள் அருளி, விருமாண்டிக்கு பின் விட்டதைப் பிடிப்பாராக.
I feel Viswaroobam will satisfy you. I hope KH will do many films like Virumandi,Mahanadhi and etc.

Watched Super Singer show yesterday in Vijay TV. It was really great to see him talking.
As usual his speech was informative & interesting, not even once we relalize that he has come there for promoting Viswaroopam except the portion about DTH.
The participants were bit nervous and could not control the excitement to sing in front of him. On top of that Playback Singer Karthik added "though I am singing for movies in the last 10 years, I got a chance to sing in front of Kamal only 10 days before, you guys are very lucky to sing in front of him in your very early days".
The show was nicely packaged..

Good that I am not a musician, otherwise I would have been envying him "! OrE nAl unai nAn was the first shot picturised in Ilamai Onjaladugiradhu.

COIMBATORE: Amidst rumors that actor Kamal Hassan was going ahead with his plans to make available his latest film 'Viswaroopam' on DTH network a day ahead of its theatre release, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association on Wednesday appealed to him to desist from any such attempt which may turn detrimental to the Tamil film industry already in crisis.
Talking to media persons here, association office bearers also hinted that they would not allow the film to release in theatres if the actor goes ahead with his plan. "We will not cooperate with the film release if he makes it available to DTH network a day ahead of the release,'' said R Panneerselvam, general secretary of the association after presiding over a meeting of theatre owners in Coimbatore and neighbouring districts.
'Viswaroopam' is a spy thriller and is being directed at a total cost of Rs 90 crore. Kamal had announced that the movie would be released in DTH Format through a private provider a day before the theatre release to televisions. Kamal justified his move by saying that such a move was necessary to get back all the investments being made in the film. This has caused a lot of uproar among the theatre owners.
Panneerselvam slammed the move saying it will adversely affect the theatre industry. "People reach theatres to see the heroes. If they can see them at their homes, how many would think of coming to the theatres," he said. The theatres are facing trouble after 'SMS' regarding films are sent from foreign countries like Singapore where they are released a day before. Moreover, piracy and free availability of the movies in several formats have also affected the theatre business. Once Kamal Hassan comes with such an idea, other producers too will follow suite, he said.
Regarding Kamal's argument that he was merely adopting technological trends, the theatre owners said that even Hollywood films are released on DTH format only after a year of its release.

Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam’s Telugu and Hindi versions (Vishwaroop) too are going to be premiered on the direct-to-home platform. Earlier it was decided to premiere only the movie's Tamil version.
According to industry sources, while the charge for Tamil version is Rs 1,000, for other languages it has been fixed at Rs 500.
In addition to the four DTH players — Airtel, Dish, Videocon and Reliance Digital – industry sources say Kamal Haasan has signed with Sun Direct too. Sun Direct, part of the Sun TV group, has close to 60 per cent of the total DTH connections in the State. According to industry estimates, there are over 4.5 million DTH homes in the State.
Tata Sky too is pretty much interested in taking the film on board. “We are in talks, and will surely bag the rights,” Harit Nagpal, Managing Director of Tata Sky told Business Line. If this works out, the initiative, the first of its kind in India will enable all DTH homes in the State to watch the movie. If we count in its Telugu and Hindi versions, and the resultant expanded reach, the number could be many times higher than this.
The Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Federation and Distributors Association is protesting this initiative saying it will affect theatre revenues. Commenting on this development, Abirami Ramanathan, President of the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Federation, told Business Line that the two bodies will meet in Coimbatore on December 26 to discuss these developments, which will followed by another meeting in Chennai on December 28 to take a final call on this.
Airtel Digital has announced that it has started accepting bookings for the movie in all the three languages. Nationally, it has 7.5 million subscribers. To book the movie, Airtel DTH subscribers can SMS VISHWA from their Registered Telephone Number to 54325 and an Airtel DTH customer care representative will call back to complete the advance booking formalities.
It has also been announced that the DTH player will accept bookings for the Tamil version for a charge of Rs 1,200, and the Telugu and Hindi versions for Rs 500. However, pre-bookings of the Tamil version will be available until January 8, for a charge of Rs 1,000.
So, as its stands now, the movie would release in theatres on January 11, 2013, it will be premiered on DTH’s Pay Per View at 9:30 p.m. on January 10 in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

One thing that could happen and in turn dim down Thiruttu VCD by this DTH release is : There will be more service through TV. You will get cathup TV, Movies on Demand, Serials on Demand, Makin of ... etc., all in your box.
Even though I am against DTH release, aspects that would raise the meter of Service rendered cannot be dismissed. In Future, production houses will fight to get a place in these services + start releasing their movies on DVDs with a healthy competion. You cannot deny that TV viewers > theatre viewers

I think senior exhibitors like abhirami ramanathan would definitely go ahead with the screening. After all he installed dolby when kamal requested him for kuruthippunal release. Either this opposition would fizzle out or there would be a split. Will get to know thalaivar's clout in the industry during these tough times.

Daily Times of Pakistan has this article on Vishwaroopam:
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default...12-2012_pg9_10
Kamal Hassan aims for int'l benchmark with new flick
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/images/...0121217_12.jpg
Kamal Hassan is hoping to grasp international audience with his big-budget thriller 'Vishwaroopam', Zee News reports.
Written, directed and produced by the 58-year-old actor, who also stars in it, the film is already making waves with its slick trailer - featuring multiple exotic locations and what appears to be a terrorism plot.
Hassan described his movie as one of the biggest ones in his career thus far, with a budget of roughly 53,300,000 Malaysian ringgit.
"It's an international story, and we wanted to a film that looks excellent. If we've met that international benchmark, we've done our jobs," the Star Online quoted him as saying. The film has already chalked up a number of achievements, such as being one of the first few films in the world to be equipped with the Auro 3D sound format and the first Indian film to be releasing 3,000 prints worldwide. In addition to Hassan, the film also features debutante actress Pooja Kumar, Rahul Bose and Andrea Jeremiah.

How can Kamal and his cohorts take pride in being featured in newspapers of "Drohkaal" Pakistan - who snubbed the "centuries of co-existence" with Bharatha mAtha?!
-----------------------------
Im also hoping that Kamal would be asked Questions and also Kamal would answer - regarding the pending "execution/Judicially sanctioned Murder" of Afzal Guru; then lets also hope he would talk about the craziness of executing pEraRivALan, sAnthan and Murugan.

Taking a film is easy but reaching the audience is tough. Kamal's effort is to reach more. The whole industry is prayng for his success: SAC

30 lacs looks inflated. On Friday Airtel said 2 lacs across three languages.With closing date being Jan 8th,they might end up with 5 lacs.Dish,Videocon and Reliance might together do 5 lacs.
Sun has come on board and if the tweet posted by h_h is true, so has TATA Sky.
Prob Rajkamal has negotiated seperately with these two apart from the 40-50c paid together by the initial group of 4.Guess together Sun and Tata would have bought 25c and an additional 5 lakh people might subscribe with these two.
My estimate is 15 lakh people watching it over 6 DTH operators.
@500 per screening(am discounting the additional Rs 500 being charged for the Tamil version),it works out to 75 crores(what Rajkamal would have been paid).
So clearly these guys will make a profit plus the huge value addition this has created in the market for the DTH concept while even b4 release,Rajkamal will be sitting pretty.
Win-win situation for all.
Just hope the content is strong enough to succeed in the theatres so that he will be able to conclusively prove that a DTH premiere will not eat into theatrical collections.
Keeping fingers crossed

In the Vijay TV -Super Singer programme - Kamal openly declared that he wouldn't hurt "minority sentiments" ("minortiy-ya pagaichikka mudiyaathu..") - he also went on to say that KalaignarkaL (artistes and creators) are the most Minority groups - and hence he would not hurt other minorites like "islam, kiRiththavam (christians), saivam, bouththam(buddhists) and vaishnavam" .
We ought to get the intricate use of words here by Kamal - he differentiates between Saivam and vainavam (not one as Hindu!) and also he says with some Sarcasm " minortiy-ya pagaichikka mudiyaathu.." and in same breath declaring creators/artists as minority.
He also mentioned in the recent press conference - that he reflects the World-at-large like a Mirror does, when asked why he dwelves with Terrorism as a Subject of his movies!
Pretty interesting! Holy Goat Muslim groups are already smarting at his strategic move to premiere his film in DTH!

Seems like KH's bold plan with DTH has really opened up a golden path as he states. Everyone from Kadhal to Kochadaiyan (if & when it releases) will be eager to try this new option out.

geno,
I and you are on the opposite end's of the spectrum but I have to tell you(for my own satisfaction)that you are anything but a hypocrite and are very consistent with our views.
To talk with people like you is much more easier than the so called liberals most of whom are intellectually handicapped.
Wrt Kamal,he has got into a bad habit of trying to be too politically correct and showering unneccessary praise on undeserving people and yielding space selectively.Firstly I don't understand what the hell was he doing releasing a book on PC when his ambitious film is just 2 weeks from release and a lot of things are still murky.What are PC's contributions to the soceity as an MP and minister,Nonsense.
CR,
If the DTH premiere is on a revenue sharing model then Rajkamal will make less than 75 crores.Hope the deal is not 50-50 but more in favour of the producer.
My estimates still hold good,total revenue from this stream across 6 operators would be around 75c(+ or - 5c).
Think he will end up earning > than 50 % of his budget from this.
BTW is Tata Sky part of this,any official news?

On a serious note,on Friday@the Airtel press conf,a two lakh booking was mentioned which translates to 10c@500/booking.
With that figure I estimated 15 lakh bookings by Jan 8th.
If it's really 30 lakh bookings till date,I am :shocked:
On a side note,though figure looks inflated,am happy that there are ppl to support and hype Kamal too.

His hyper active "voice" against FDI in retail / Wal Mart issue just a month ago - and now giving huge credit to P Chidambaram, the man who was largely behind the PR for that act, stands gapingly contrary to Kamal's own views.
Kamal would have already realised that it would be a free-for-all when it this is pointed out.
And regarding thamizh thEsiyam ive already told / know that we dont have much to expect from him.

geno,
I meant it as a compliment only.
Ideological positions get formed due to upbringing,influences,books and other factors.
As you grow up,all this is asssimilated,goes through a thought process and gets reinforced if you see a truth in it.
Once a position is taken,there should be consistency in that and everyone/everything should be viewed through the same ideological prism.
Majority of decision/opinion makers lack that quality and for me it's very frustrating.
All I see is double talk,shameless hypocrisy etc etc etc.
@kanna,
Is it?Wonderful news.
Then there is good chance of bookings crossing 20 lacs across all operators.
Now the content should deliver,that's all.

Happy New Year to all !!!!
2 more weeks (+2 or 3 days) of waiting for Vishwaroopam to break all box office records...
One more interview with Nammavar in a Malayalam channel - nothing new except for a higher confidence in the movie. He talked about no MG from theater owners; some have given returnable advance etc. Then Marudanayagam shoot is done till a shot where it is shown "12 years later".... so the shooting can be restarted (though the gap was not planned)
The interviewer was all tensed facing such a legend and was not "listening" to Kamal... may be inspiration from Kamal - he never allowed that guy to complete his questions
Called up Reliance digital - they are not yet sure of whether they will show the premiere on 10th !

Manmohan was picked by Rajiv Gandhi back in the day for RBI and Finance Ministry positions and was the superstar, Victor Hugo quoting FM, under PVN.His picking had little to do with '84 riots. He was quite an unlikely minister in '92, don't you think? Originally Posted by geno

As per the following website, total active DTH connections is around 30 million (seems genuine).
http://www.saveondish.com/forum/T-so...breakup?page=4
If 3% of the users subscribe to the movie, it translates 900,000 viewers translating to collection of Rs. 45 crores (conservatively assuming Rs.500 per view). Anything above 5%, cost of the movie is recovered. But if it happens, I believe it will seriously affect theater business.

கடந்த ஒரு வாரமாக சூடு பிடித்திருக்கும் விஸ்வரூப சிக்கலில் இன்று மற்றொரு திருப்பம். வரும் 3-ம் தேதி திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்க கூட்டம் திருச்சியில் நடப்பதாக உள்ளது. இந்த கூட்டத்தில் எந்தவிதமான ஸ்திரமான முடிவும் எடுக்க முடியாத நிலைதான் ஏற்பட போகிறது. நடிகர், இயக்குனர், மற்றும் தயாரிப்பாளர் கமல்ஹாசன் தன்னுடைய கடைசி அஸ்திரத்தையும் திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்கள் மேல் ஏவியுள்ளார்.
தன்னுடைய செல்வாக்கை பயன்படுத்தி கமல்ஹாசன் தமிழக முதன்மை செயலாளர் மூலம் தன்னுடைய தொழிலுக்கு பாதுகாப்பு ஏற்படுத்தி கொடுக்கவேண்டும் என்றும் தன்னுடைய தொழிலுக்கு இடைஞ்சலாக இருக்கும் திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்களை கண்டிக்கவேண்டும் என்றும் வேண்டுகோள் விடுத்திருந்தார்.
இதன் அடிப்படையில் அரசு தரப்பில் இருந்து இது குறித்து வாய்மொழி உத்தரவு ஒன்று பிறபிக்கபட்டுள்ளது. இதில் படம் வெளியிடுவது தயாரிப்பாளர் உரிமை மற்றும் படத்தை வெளியிடுவது திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர் விருப்பம், ஆகவே சங்கத்தை காரணம் காட்டி இந்த படத்தை வெளியிடுவோர் மேல் நடவடிக்கை எடுத்தால் அரசு அதற்க்கு ஏற்றாற்போல் சங்கத்தின் மேல் நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கும் என கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதனை கேட்டு இப்பொழுது திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர் சங்கத்தினர் சற்று அதிர்ச்சியில் உள்ளனர்.
அடுத்த கட்டமாக இதற்கு என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று யோசித்து வருகின்றனர். இந்த நிலையில் திரையரங்கு உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்க தலைவர் அபிராமி ராமநாதன் அவர்களே தன்னுடைய திரையரங்கில் இந்த படத்தை வெளியிடும் நிலையில் இருக்கிறார். ஆகா கமலின் இந்த கடைசி அஸ்திரம் வேலை செய்யும் போலத்தான் தெரிகிறது.

No need to worry - In the last 10 years none of Nammavar movies go this sort of hype - so sure record initial whichever theater it releases.
If at all better theaters run AP, they will take Vishwaroopam after 3-4 days.
Time to enjoy....

Studio Green is a regular distributor and they have a good hold over some theatres in TN. so cant do anything about it .. Studio Green offered to release Vishwaroopam, but Kamal rejected..
DTH revenues are going to be like a big factor to make Kamal completely safe before the release.. as Theatres are taken only on rental/sharing basis, there is nothing to worry for them also..
inspite of the ballistic AD campaign for Alex pandian, makkal kitta oru reaction-ume illai.. ANoushka-kku ellaa theatre-layum cut out vaikkurathu thaan last hope..

‘விஸ்வரூபம்’ பிரச்சினை பற்றி ‘‘பேச்சுவார்த்தைக்கு தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் தயார்’’ ‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் பேச்சு
சென்னை,-
‘‘விஸ்வரூபம் பட பிரச்சினை பற்றி பேச்சுவார்த்தை நடத்த தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் தயாராக இருக்கிறோம்’’ என்று ‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் பேசினார்.
பட விழா
பாண்டி முனி பிக்சர்ஸ்–கே.எம்.கே.புரொடக்ஷன்ஸ் தயாரிப்பில், புதுமுகங்கள் நடித்துள்ள ‘ஊராட்சி ஒன்றியம்’ படத்தின் பாடல்கள் மற்றும் டிரைலர் வெளியீட்டு விழா, சென்னை பிரசாத் லேப் தியேட்டரில் நடந்தது. பாடல் குறுந்தகடை டைரக்டர் கே.பாக்யராஜ் வெளியிட, தமிழ்நாடு திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்கள் சம்மேளன தலைவர் ‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் பெற்றுக்கொண்டார்.‘டிரைலரை’ பட அதிபர் கேயார் வெளியிட, டைரக்டர் ஆர்.கே.செல்வமணி பெற்றுக்கொண்டார்.
விழாவில், கேயார் பேசியதாவது:–
வெற்றி
‘‘2012–ல் 146 படங்கள் வெளியாகியுள்ளன. அதில், வெற்றி பெற்ற 8 படங்களும் சிறு முதலீட்டு படங்கள். சிறு முதலீட்டு படங்கள் வளர்வதே சினிமா தொழிலுக்கு ஆரோக்கியம். ஆனால், இப்போது சின்ன படங்களுக்கு திரையரங்குகள் கிடைப்பதில்லை.ரஜினிகாந்தும், கமல்ஹாசனும் அறிமுகமானது சிறு முதலீட்டு படங்களில்தான். 62 படங்கள் தணிக்கையாகி, வெளியிட முடியாமல் முடங்கிக் கிடக்கின்றன.
‘விஸ்வரூபம்’ பிரச்சினை
இப்போது, ‘விஸ்வரூபம்’ பிரச்சினை விஸ்வரூபம் எடுத்துள்ளது. அந்த படத்துக்கு திரையரங்கம் கொடுக்க மாட்டோம் என்கிறார்கள். இந்த பிரச்சினை வளரவிடாமல், சீக்கிரம் பேசி சுமூக முடிவு எடுக்க வேண்டும் என்று அபிராமி ராமநாதனை கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறேன்.’’இவ்வாறு கேயார் பேசினார்.
‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் பதில்
அதற்கு பதில் அளித்து, ‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் பேசியதாவது:–‘‘சிறு முதலீட்டு படங்களை நம்பித்தான் தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் உயிர் வாழ்கிறோம். சிறு முதலீட்டு படம் எடுப்பவர்கள்தான் எங்களுடன் இருக்கிறார்கள். கேயார் பேசும்போது, டி.டி.எச். பிரச்சினையை பேசி தீர்க்கலாம் என்றார்.பேசுவதற்கு யாரை அழைத்தார்கள்? ‘சேனலில்’ படம் போடுகிற பிரச்சினை வந்தபோது பேசினோமே...நாங்கள் திறந்த மனதுடன் இருக்கிறோம். கண்டிப்பாக அழையுங்கள். வர தயாராக இருக்கிறோம்.’’மேற்கண்டவாறு ‘அபிராமி’ ராமநாதன் கூறினார்.

Kamal Haasan’s film will hit many homes before its theatrical release, a first in the world for a mainstream film.
SUDHISH KAMATH
Unnerved by the controversy of a section of exhibitors boycotting his film, Kamal Haasan has tied up with over 400 cinema halls in the State and the six big DTH providers — Tata Sky, Dish TV, Sun Direct, Videocon D2h, Airtel Digital TV and Reliance Digital TV in the country to release his film Vishwaroopam during the Pongal. season. The one-time DTH premiere of the film will begin at 9.30 p.m. on January 10 and is priced at Rs.1,000 per home (Rs. 500 for the Hindi version Vishwaroop). Vishwaroopam, that has cost Kamal Haasan Rs. 95 crores approximately will hit an unprecedented number of homes before its theatrical release, a first in the world for a mainstream film.
With 50 million DTH homes in India, if it reaches out to target five per cent of the DTH base, it could potentially collect Rs. 175 crores. After tax and revenue sharing with DTH providers, it could make about Rs. 50 crores. As Vanita Kohli-Khandekar, media expert and author of the Indian Media Business estimates, “Maybe a one or two per cent reach is a more realistic estimate especially with this pricing. What DTH creates is a long tail, particularly for the migrant agglomerations of regional populations in the metros. There is a huge Tamil population in Delhi and Mumbai where the number of screens for regional cinema are limited,” adds Vanita. The move will help beat piracy. “Pricing, timing and quality are the three gaps that pirates exploit. The moment you start breaking down the windows between theatrical, home video and TV, you plug the gaps and piracy dies,” she explains.
As Kamal Haasan himself clarified on the piracy issue, “It’s easier to track down the person who has made a print from DTH than any theatre,” he said. What he didn’t say — that it can be tracked down to the home/address of the pirate because films flash a unique code generated by the set top box assigned to each home. This is the first time that all DTH competitors have come on board together to premiere a film on TV. “I would like to congratulate all competitors who have come together,” Kamal Haasan said at a recent press conference to announce the release.
Good backing
The actor was backed by representatives from all DTH providers, South India Film Chamber of Commerce, Director’s Union, Producer’s Council and even exhibitors from Coimbatore who pledged support and lauded him on the brave, risky move of releasing his film without collecting a single rupee as minimum guarantee from the exhibitors. “I am not a visionary. I just know that when someone invents a cell phone and brings it to the market, you can pick it up. Yes, there maybe people who are scared if the cell phone will heat up and explode who are hesitant to touch it but I am just the guy who decided to take the call when it rang,” said Kamal Haasan to dispel fears that DTH will eat into theatre revenues. “I do not want to disturb my ecosystem. I am very protective of it. Which is why I took all the efforts to ensure that I don’t sign up with DTH players before they promised me that the Digital Video Recorder would be disabled and that the film will not be available in commercial establishments. An hour ago, Tata Sky too has come on board,” he announced recently.
“When a tractor is available, a farmer needs to embrace it instead of saying he will only use the bull. Only I have everything to lose. When I produce a film, it’s at my expense. If you are releasing it, it’s an asset. I find it silly to even say don’t be scared,” he said, referring to the exhibitors who have refused to release his film on the grounds that a DTH premiere may set a bad precedent and result in shutting down of more cinema halls. As R. Panneerselvam, general secretary of Tamil Nadu Film Exhibitors’ Association, told MetroPlus a few days ago: “There used to be over 2,600 theatres in 1984. Now, there are only about 1,250 cinema halls because many of them shut down due to the growth of cable and satellite TV.” But Kamal Haasan pointed out “Only the theatres that have been in bad shape have shut down over the years.”
Tiruppur Subramaniam, Coimbatore-based exhibitor, speaking on behalf of exhibitors of his region, said that they didn’t have the slightest hesitation before signing up to release the film. “Theatres have been shutting down because of the scourge of minimum guarantee that had taken over the business over the last five-six years. Mr. Kamal Haasan was the first to introduce us to digital cinema and thanks to digital cinema, the print cost has reduced from Rs.50,000 to Rs.10,000,” he said. “Karnan even today runs for a hundred days despite being screened on TV, despite availability of DVDs in the market,” he added.
“When moving pictures were first screened, people thought the moving train would run over them. When talkies came, they were scared of sound. Eastman colour came and replaced black and white and digital have replaced film rolls. Yet labs survived by adapting and so has cinema. Scientific progress is inevitable and has to be embraced,” said director Bharathirajaa.
“I have seen the film and I can say that it is truly world class. A film we can be proud of. So far you only know of him as Kamal the artiste, with Vishwaroopam, you’ll see Kamal the technician,” he added.

After discussing with my NI friends, the impression I get is that Vishwaroop gets more visibility compared to Dasavathar. But they perceive it as an art movie / off beat movie... the promos are nothing compared to its competitor – MkBkM
Gone are the days where the theaters extend the support by running the movie till word of mouth feedback starts bringing people in. Now if there is no crowd in the first one or two days, that is it !

Before she became the formidable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalalitha was one of the top actresses of Tamil cinema. She retired completely from acting in 1980 to devote herself to politics.
But her keen interest in cinema never died. Now one hears Jayalalithaji is taking more than a passing interest in the new Kamal Haasan starrer 'Vishwaroopam' and has in fact expressed a desire to see the film after being one of the privileged few to see the rushes of the much-awaited film.
Unfortunataly no one, not even the most powerful woman politician in Tamil Nadu is allowed to see the film before the DTH (Direct To Home) telecast on January 10.
Reluctant to speak of his powerful political association Kamal Haasan says, “Jayalalithaji and I have known one another for the longest time. But I really don’t see the need to flaunt my association with her.I’ve the highest regard for her. Yes, she has been kind enough to show some interest in my film.She has seen bits and pieces of the film and we’d love to have her watch the whole film as soon as possible.”
One wonders whether this means that Jayalalitha is moving back towards cinema or whether it means Kamal Haasan is moving towards politics.
Quips the actor, “I am a very good actor. But not good enough to be a politician.”

The Vishwaroopam DTH premiere is well and truly ON. The publicity and promotional machinery has started in the form of big ads in newspapers and advertisements through the various DTH players in their respective eco-systems. It makes sense to spend some time now to understand the nitty-gritty of this plan. We shall do a quick SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) of Vishwaroopam’s DTH premiere which is scheduled for January 10th 9:30 pm.
All the six major players – Tata Sky, Airtel, Sun, Reliance, Videocon and Dish have signed up for this deal and a potential 48.8 million subscribers are set to be covered. The number of active subscribers is just 29.8 million though. Assuming that around 5 % of this subscriber base pay 1000 Rupees each for the Tamil version of Vishwaroopam (it is 500 rupees for the Hindi version), the potential revenue, even after tax cuts and revenue sharing with the DTH players, could be handsome for Kamal Haasan. But some analysts feel that given the high pricing, not many would be interested in signing up for this feed. We have to see how it goes.
Now coming to the strengths of this initiative, being a highly hyped film, the DTH premiere of Vishwaroopam would attract a lot of potential viewers who would not have otherwise gone to theaters. For example the Tamil folk living in cities like Delhi, Pune and Mumbai would be interested in seeing the Tamil version of the movie atleast through DTH as there is no guarantee that the movie would be hitting screens nearby their home. Spending 1000 Rupees and seeing the movie with the entire family is a reasonable bet for such Tamils even if the theatrical experience can’t be matched.
This DTH premiere also comes with the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) option disabled and therefore the feed can’t be recorded, as feared by many. Commercial establishments will not get this feed and any doubts that places like pubs and clubs can make a killing by charging a hefty amount per head for the feed, have been dispelled.
This entire DTH episode has also given tremendous amount of goodwill and positive hype for Kamal as well as the movie. Not to mention, the pride and bragging rights that would be invested in a person who actually watches the movie on his DTH a day prior to the theatrical release. Their FB walls and tweets would be totally devoted to how they are among the privileged few to have experienced this ‘first in the history of mainstream cinema’ occurrence. All this translates to more buzz for the movie.
As part of the weaknesses, the DTH experience can never come near a theatrical experience. And with Kamal using Auro 3D surround sound and state-of-the-art explosion mechanisms in his movie, such phenomena can’t be perceived through the DTH feed, even with big home theaters around in many houses. Not to mention, the theatrical ambience, the dark and other acoustics. The pricing also could be too high for the average man to view the feed with his family. The penetration of this DTH premiere in rural areas is questionable, even considering the dominant presence of Sun DTH in rural markets. This plan seems to be clearly targeted at the urban well-to-do families. Does it also point to the movie’s target audience as a whole?
If by a remote chance, the movie doesn’t live up to the expectations, word of mouth about the movie would spread fast thanks to social media and the movie’s theatrical opening in the first weekend might take a beating.
Given the fickle power scenario in Tamil Nadu, what if there is a power cut when the feed is happening? Hard to imagine the angst that the head of the family will experience when his 1000 Rupees is compromised by a power cut.
Also, being a ‘first’, there might be some scope for technical concerns and blips. Until the premiere happens successfully, fears of such issues cropping up will loom large.
Now, let’s look at the opportunities created by Vishwaroopam’s DTH idea. Already, thanks to Kamal’s trendsetting move, other biggies in the near future are being trumped for similar DTH premieres. The entire Indian film industry must be watching this ‘pilot’ episode closely for the very many possibilities and outcomes. This is yet another technological progression made by cinema and it opens up another distribution avenue for filmmakers. Not to mention, the crores of money that is potentially up for grabs.
Smaller films in particular, will now be looking at the DTH avenue closely. Given, the tight crunch for theaters, smaller movies can now eye the DTH platform in addition to a quick TV premiere. Wider genres of movies can also be made now with an eye on the DTH platform.
Finally, the threats posed by piracy are in focus yet again. Despite talks of the DVR being disabled, commercial establishments being left out and the easy tracking and identification mechanisms in DTH, there are always some loopholes in technology. Don’t be surprised if you notice a DTH CAM Rip of Vishwaroopam doing the rounds in the net on January 11th.
Theater owners’ fears of DTH luring the audience away from theaters aren’t without reason either. If in future, a proper pricing model is worked out and if Vishwaroopam’s DTH premiere is a big success without any technical blips and issues, there is no stopping DTH. All future movies will hop on to the DTH bandwagon and the opening weekend might be affected. Given the nature of the current day business, when the opening weekend is of prime importance, theater owners won’t appreciate such a competitor.
All in all, the DTH premiere of Vishwaroopam opens up a whole lot of possibilities and debate. As always, Kamal Haasan has set the ball rolling and has blazed a trend. We wish him all success on this path-breaking venture and also for a grand box-office success.

Vishwaroopam will have to stand in queue for theatre release
R. Ravikumar
Screens in Tamil Nadu full on January 11, when the release is scheduled
Chennai, Jan. 2: Kamal Haasan’s mega movie Vishwaroopam seems to be in a fix now, as it may not get to cinema halls in Chennai, North Arcot, South Arcot, Chengalpattu, Tiruchi, Tirunelveli, Salem, Cuddalore and Madurai in Tamil Nadu.
“Even if theatre owners are agreeable” to screen the film, theatres are not available on that date, said an industry source.
“There is absolutely no theatres available in Chennai for January 11 release of Vishwaroopam, as all of them have signed up for two other Tamil films — Alex Pandian and Kanna, Laddu Thinna Aasaiya — and a Telugu film, due for release around same time,” said a theatre owner and an active member of the association of Tamil Nadu theatre owners.
postpone?
According to him, besides Chennai, in other centres, too, not many theatres are free to screen Vishwaroopam as they are blocked by these two Tamil movies. And in some theatres, the recently released movies such as Thuppakki and Kumki are running to full houses, and continue to run well beyond January 11, he explained.
Usually, ‘A’ and ‘B’ centres are the major catchments for Kamal Haasan’s films. Now, since most screens in these centres are already blocked for other films, “Kamal Haasan may have to reconsider Vishwaroopam’s release date,” said a film industry pundit.
Actor and film-maker Kamal Haasan, however, stands his ground that Vishwaroopam will be premiered on the direct-to-home platform on January 10 despite protest from various theatre owners, and will be released in theatres the next day. In some advertisements, it is reconfirmed that the movie is scheduled for theatre release on January 11.
In a recent press conference, he said the movie will be premiered on the direct-to-home platform through all the six players — Dish, Tata Sky, Sun Direct, Reliance Digital, AirTel Digital TV and Videocon D2H, adding that the next day, the movie will be released in at least 400 screens across Tamil Nadu. The DTH players, too, have started rolling out advertisements in electronic and print media.
According to Abirami Ramanathan, President, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Federation, a final decision was due to be taken in the federation’s meeting on January 3 in Tiruchi.

Except Tamil Nadu, they will get good theatre elsewhere. I am very much disappointed with Coimbatore city with the theatres they are releasing. Not even a single screen is in the good books. Hope it gets sorted out after today's meeting. If the regular theatres are booked, history will be created on the day one collection itself.
So far, have made 3 persons to subscribe to DTH. Still keep on marketing.
BTW... any news on how many subscriptions received...?

CR,
I read a report that actually Kamal wanted to postpone release as two biggies were releasing but Dasari wanted to cash in on the holiday season and pushed this through.
Guess SVSC is still in post production and they had not got down to booking the theatres.Dasari seems to have used the opportunity plus KH is highly respected in Andhra unlike his own state where there are constant efforts to pull him down within the industry and in the media.

As of now this option is not there for VR.. That will totally kill Theater revenue. Probably someone may use that if theaters are not screening.. After 3 or 4 weeks of release many Hindi Movies are doing this way.. Originally Posted by joe

Will Kamal lie on 390 theatres?????
My guess,there will be a boycott but it will make it to multiplexes and 2nd grade cinemas in TN.
Since hindi is also happening,a PAN india release,DTH,overseas,AP,Kerala and Karnataka will see Rajkamal through financially.
But fans will miss watching it in the best single screens with all the celebrations.
If content is strong resulting in demand and AP turns out to be a dud,theatres will fall in line from the 2nd week.That's the best we can hope for.
He backing out of a DTH release is ruled out.There is assured money there which he will not compromise for the vagaries of the BO.
Fans will have to sacrifice for his sake.
Cheer up guys,am sure Sir will prove his detractors wrong.

So,as fans we need worry too much on the finances,Thalaiver will make money without causing heartburn to anybody.
We should wish that the film's content is so good that demand will outstretch supply and the boycotted theatres will be forced to screen the film.
Also,Pan India the film should be received well-commercially and critically.
Andha vetri will be much more sweeter.

Not much new info but new interview:
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/a-...tars/1054237/0
A Man of Many Avatars
Dipti Nagpaul-D'Souza : Fri Jan 04 2013, 00:54 hrs
Your decision to release Vishwaroop on direct-to-home (DTH) platform a day before the release on January 11 has been met with resistance from multiplex owners
The film will release in the multiplex chains that have agreed to screen it. DTH is the way forward as it is a new avenue to collect revenue. Many people cannot go to halls to watch films and DTH allows them the opportunity. The reach of DTH is limited to large cities, and only three to four per cent of all television owners. This is a one-time show and those who fail to catch it on DTH will have to head to the theatres.
What is your idea behind making movies for a pan-world audience?
India has evolved to occupy an important place in the world. We are an everyday topic in international newspapers and our economics affects the world. My films reflect this fact. But the prominence of Bollywood and the perception that Indian cinema is only about singing and dancing sometimes limits the scope of Indian films.
The themes of battle against social evils runs common in your films. Vishwaroop is also about terrorism.
The way media is angry about the rape that happened on a bus recently, constantly writing about it, I am angered by terrorism, corruption and other social evils and constantly address these issues. All filmmakers have one theme in their mind and all their films are a variation of that. So if my secular and tongue-in-cheek rationalist view is visible in my films, it is because that is what I am.
You are known to have a strong dislike for songs in films. What made you dance to a song choreographed by Birju Maharaj in Vishwaroop?
I was a choreographer in films well before I became an actor and had already choreographed 400 songs before making my on-screen debut. But when I look back, I realise nothing has changed in all these years. We focus on the pelvic thrust and terrible lyrics without realising there is more sensuality in Gopi bhav. The song he has choreographed for Vishwaroop is picturised on my character of an Indian classical dancer. It is unlike the songs one sees in films these days.
You are the director, writer and actor of most of your films and often play multiple roles in these. Is this self-indulgence?
I am qualified to do these jobs. All artistes are bahuroops (multi-faceted) and love to showcase their art. I am merely old-fashioned. I acquired the desire to do more than one job from my guru, Avvai Shanmugam. The legendary theatre artiste whom I trained under as a child artiste, would play a man one day and a woman or warrior on another. Even my other guru, K Balachander, is a director, writer and a gifted actor, although he doesn’t showcase his acting skills on a platform.
Was it success as an actor that goaded you on to showcase these skills?
I did not get a proper education in any field. So, whenever audience applauded my efforts in any field, it inspired me to do better and I trained myself in various aspects of filmmaking. I didn’t turn writer now — my very first film was penned by me. I trained as a make-up artiste for 20 years. I know Bharatanatyam and studied Carnatic music for three years under maestro Dr Balamuralikrishna.
Your views in both your personal and professional lives are considered liberal.
My father played a huge role — he never shoved his views on me — which helped me shape my intellect. At 15, when I wanted to give up formal education, he allowed me to follow my dreams and stay in Chennai even as my family returned to our native place. And when I turned into a rationalist, he, although a believer, accepted it.
Are you as accommodating as a father to your own children?
I don’t want them to mimic my life. Unlike me, Shruti is a believer. When Akshara decided to drop out of school, I tried all the pretenses of anger and coaxing to gauge if she was sure and then I let her be. They can seek me out if they fall, but I encourage them to dust themselves and move on. Very few fathers have conversations with their daughters of the kind I can have with Shruti — about relationships, movies and friends. Sometimes she takes on the role of my teacher.

Muslim groups want screening of 'Viswaroopam' to them prior to release
Controversies surrounding Kamal Hassan's upcoming 'Viswaroopam' refuse to die down with some Muslim groups demanding that the film be screened to them prior to its January 11 release, expressing concern over the depiction of the community in the movie.
A total of 23 organisations under the banner of Federation of Islamic Movements and Political Parties claimed the actor had a history of portraying Muslims in “bad light” in his earlier movies 'Hey Ram' and 'Unnai Pol Oruvan' (the latter being a remake of Hindi superhit 'A Wednesday', with the actor donning the role played by Naseruddin Shah in the original).
“There are not only reports but we also have reliable information that he has depicted Muslims and Islam in bad light. Let him screen the movie for us before releasing it. If there are objectionable scenes, they have to be removed. Else, we will be the first to support the film,” A K Mohammed Haneefa, coordinator of the federation said.
He said the demand had been placed with the actor, but he has not responded so far.
“We are a big community. Such depiction hurts us,” he said about the much anticipated big budget flick that stars among others, Shekhar Kapur and Rahul Bose.
Haneefa warned of “democratic protests”, should be held if their demand be not met and if the community was portrayed in objectionable way.
On pointed out about Hassan's clarification earlier that the Muslims were not portrayed in a negative manner, he said 'Hey Ram' and 'Unnai Pol Oruvan' had done so.
The actor's representatives were not available for comment.
'Viswaroopam' is already caught in a controversy with Hassan and a section of theatre owners in a tug-of-war over the actor's decision to release the film on DTH platform also on January 10, a day ahead of its theatre release.

Now a days the major theatrical collection (80-90%) comes from the first week of release.
If the number of theaters are reduced even to one third, still the movie will overall collect the same in 3 weeks.
Only issues is that if some cities totally boycott the movie. If each city/town gets one third of the preferred number of theaters, it is god enough.

விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்கு தடை கோரி வழக்குத் தாக்கல் செய்துள்ள நிலையில், நடிகர் கமலஹாசன் இன்று நீதிமன்றத்தில் பதில் மனு தாக்கல் செய்துள்ளார். மர்மயோகி படத்துக்காக வாங்கிய கடனை திரும்ப அளிக்கவில்லை என்றும், எனவே, விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை வெளியிட தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும் என்றும் அந்த வழக்குத் தொடரப்பட்டது.
இது தொடர்பாக ரீஜெண்ட் சாய்மிரா எண்டர்டைன்மெண்ட் என்ற நிறுவனம் சார்பில் ராஜேந்திர ஜெயின் என்பவர் அந்த மனுவை தாக்கல் செய்திருந்தார்.
மர்மயோகி என்ற திரைப்படத்தை தயாரிப்பது தொடர்பாக சந்திரஹாசன், கமல்ஹாசன் ஆகியோரை பங்குதாரர்களாக கொண்ட ராஜ்கமல் பிலிம்ஸ் இண்டர்நேஷனல் நிறுவனத்துக்கும், எங்கள் நிறுவனத்துக்கும் இடையே கடந்த 2.4.2008 அன்று ஒப்பந்தம் கையெழுத்தானது. அதன் பின்னர் படத் தயாரிப்புப் பணிகளுக்காக பெரும் தொகையை எங்கள் நிறுவனம் அளித்தது.
ஒப்பந்தப்படி 18 மாதங்களுக்குள் படத் தயாரிப்புப் பணிகள் முடிவடைய வேண்டும். எனினும் திட்டமிட்டபடி படத்தின் தயாரிப்புப் பணிகளை ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனம் மேற்கொள்ளவில்லை. இதனால் படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளர் என்ற வகையில் எங்கள் நிறுவனத்துக்கு ரூ.10 கோடியே 50 லட்சம் நஷ்டம் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.
இந்த நிலையில் ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனம் தயாரிப்பில் கமல்ஹாசன் நடித்த விஸ்வரூபம் திரைப்படம் விரைவில் வெளியாக உள்ளதாக செய்திகள் வந்துள்ளன. ஏற்கெனவே மர்மயோகி படத்தை தயாரிப்பதற்காக எங்கள் நிறுவனத்திடம் வாங்கிய தொகையை ராஜ்கமல் நிறுவனம் திருப்பித் தராத வரை, விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை வெளியிடக் கூடாது என நீதிமன்றம் தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும் என்று அந்த மனுவில் குறிப்பிடப்பட்டிருந்தது.
இந்த மனு நீதிபதி கே. வெங்கட்ராமன் முன்னிலையில் விசாரணைக்கு வந்தது. அப்போது, இந்த மனு தொடர்பாக கமல்ஹாசன் உள்ளிட்டோர் பதில் மனு தாக்கல் செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று உத்தரவிட்ட நீதிபதி, விசாரணையை ஜனவரி இன்றைக்கு ஒத்தி வைத்தார்.
இன்று நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் மற்றும் ராஜ்கமல் பட நிறுவனம் சார்பில் பதில் மனு தாக்கல் செய்யப்பட்டது. அதில், “மர்மயோகி படத்துக்காக வாங்கப்பட்ட கடன் திரும்ப அளிக்கப்பட்டு விட்டது. எனவே படத்தை வெளியிட அனுமதிக்க வேண்டும்” என்று கூறப்பட்டுள்ளது.

I am not happy with Vishwaroop (Hindi) promos. Still I am seeing only teasers and not trailers whereas MKBKMD is very agrressive in its promo.
With the current promo, I expect a maximum of 10-15C collection for Hindi version which will be treated as a flop.
And no matter howmuchever we collect with DTH and Tamil version, once it flops in Hindi all the media will brand it as a flop movie (liek dasa).

"media will brand it as a flop movie "
That the media will do anyways unless the evidences are so strong that they will have no other option.Esp the ToI is the biggest culprit in this regard.
They have favourites(who have become so becos of certain considerations I guess) and shamelessly promote them while pulling down the others.

Anban,
You have point on the potential loss of revenue.
Assuming DTH was not there,it would have been screened in X number of theatres with Y seating capacity.
We will have to see if flooding of multiplexes and complexes will account for the same Y seats.
Of course,we might lose out on covering the geography of the city with movie limited to certain areas only.
Paarppom,as you said 1 week is a long time.Anyway publicity has been more than taken care of.
In an NDTV interview,he mentions a big theatre chain promising something ,backing out and now throwing it's weight around.Is it PVR?
In all the galatta,the Hindi version again seems to have lost focus.Hope it will not end up like those countless dubbed ventures.

Wrt Devi trimming Aalavandhaan,it's a business and he would have back then paid a bomb to acquire it.Poor response,panic reaction and he trimmed it.Ethically wrong but we are also talking big money.
Why would anybody do the same if movie is going great guns?Should we not hope for that scenario

this will be like only a low budget venture in Hindi... anything above 20C is a big bonus .. with DTH and satellite rights surely touching 20 C , anything in theatres will be a bonus..
also.. this movie does not have native tamil characters much like aalavandhan.. hence need not worry abt the bilinguality spoiling the tamil version.. the star cast wudnt have changed much anyway ..

Mouth publicity or word-of-mouth is still happening, but it is quite fast now. A movie which does not open well on Friday, might pick up on Saturday or as Taran Adarsh says, 'Monday onwards' there is usually an increase in collections for good movies. However, 'Makkhi' the Hindi version of Naan-EE/Eega which was not promoted well, was appreciated by critics but still did not perform well. The Hindi version of Mumbai Express was also a critic favourite but still did not win. However, it outperformed the other low budget films released on the same day. In the case of Chachi 420, the movie performed well in cities but became a huge hit later in Television. The TV/satellite rights must have fetched a handsome amount.

hmm...Kamal himself is a very big brand....so I don't think a WOM is required....the trailer itself speaks for itself and induces a great level of curiosity among the audiences to go and watch it in theatres....
the DTH premiere is for the people who don't like to go to theatres and also spend huge money on the f&b. but a very few percentage would be affected who indeed would like to watch it in theatres but would like to watch it through DTH at home....
and why is it that Tamil DTH is Rs 1000/- and Hindi/Telugu Rs 500/-....this is not fair...I don't understand this...can anybody explain...

The people who have Airtel or any DTH connection will definitely know that this movie is getting released in theaters across.. and almost all cinema websites are having the trailer... It is not aggressively promoted by Balaji in other media.. one more thing, normally they release the songs 3 months before in all the tv channels, that is not possible for VR... If it gets a wide release then definitely get some good collection.. Originally Posted by hattori_hanzo

it is very absurd of the the theatre owners to think that it will affect their business. when there were only single screens, they were threatened by the multiplexes and now these single screens are threatened by the DTH.
lets see how it is going to affect their business and who is going to be benefited with this model a lot?

One mundane thought. Sir has spent 100 crore in this movie. Assume this is not his home production and he was engaged by some production house; he would have earned appx 70-100 cr (for acting, directing, story + screen-play + dialogue + lyric + singing etc). in my view, the break-even point should be hovering around 170-200 cr. Can he recover this and earn profit also due to the fact of not having vantage cinema halls in TN? Correct me if my assumption is wrong.

If we think purely based on callsheet, if Kamal had "acted" in 4-5 commercial movies for other producers during these two years, he would have easily made close to 200C.

Dramatic twist to Vishwaroopam issue!
Jan 04, 2013
The ongoing battle between the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association(TTOA) and Kamal Haasan on the topic of Vishwaroopam’s DTH release has just taken a dramatic twist. Popular Cineplex Devi Theatres have offered to screen Vishwaroopam on the announced date of January 11th and seemingly standing opposed to what the TTOA have requested from its members.
TTOA’s General Secretary has categorically gone on record saying that they will not support or co-operate with theatres that screen Vishwaroopam. Devi Cineplex’s decision could trigger an effect where many more theatres would boldly take the same decision and give the film a big release in Chennai.
But, one thing is for sure, there definitely is as much tension as there is anticipation for Vishwaroopam as the all important date draws closer and closer.

Slow clearing of this issue -- Devi has announced and perhaps Sathyam too with its Auro system installed specially for this. Speculation is that the CM is involved and influencing the resolution of the issue. The Moslem group issue is not a big issue. Pyramid's notice has been dealt with and routine process will likely follow to handle the court's proceedings
Sreedhar Pillai @sri50
#Vishwaroopam gets a big boost . Devi Cineplex Chennai dares Tamil Nadu Theater Owners Association dikat and will screen it from Jan 11!
#Devicineplex has become the 1st theater in TN 2 endorse #Vishwaroopam. Varadaraja Chettiar of Devi has always screened all Kamal biggies.
#Devicineplex has allotted its most prestigious prime Devi big screen 4 Vishwaroopam from Jan 11.

the point Kamal made about how the same industry that doesnt give a damn about piracy, is crying hoarse about DTH, was a slap in the face!

I'm working on the sequel of Vishwaroopam: Kamal Haasan
http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.a...nal&nid=313146
Mid-Day.com | Friday, January 04, 2013 (Mumbai)
When it comes to his films, Kamal Haasan is a chameleon in disguise. After doing around 250 films both in Hindi and regional languages, the veteran actor is back with a bang with his next movie Vishwaroopam. In an interview, he talks about the secrets of his good looks, his upcoming film Vishwaroopam and why the country needs to wake up.
Question: You had a huge row over the DTH issue for your film.
Kamal Haasan: The matter is now solved. We are going ahead with the DTH release. Things began to go wrong when a cinema chain ditched us and went back on their word. Right now it is not about money but about bringing a revolution.
Question: You are looking younger than ever.
Kamal Haasan: Compliments like these help me look the way I look. In fact, it is thanks to my father. He would play tennis with his granddaughters; he would be all over the place. I need to thank him for my health.
Question: How is it that your actresses are always so much younger than you?
Kamal Haasan: (Laughs) You wouldn't believe that in one of my earlier films when I was 19, I had an actress opposite me who was in her late thirties and she had already done over 100 films. And with this film she got a new lease of life. In fact, I had acted with her as her kid in one of her many films. So getting adjusted opposite older actresses comes naturally.
Question: What is your secret to playing more than one character in your films?
Kamal Haasan: My current film is a completely different film. It is very similar to what Dilip Kumar saab did as Ram and Shyam in Ram Aur Shyam. As an actor, you are always greedy. You keep pushing the envelope for your audience.
Question: How did your latest film take shape?
Kamal Haasan: Most ideas are already in and around us but in a different form till we realise them. The basic idea of this film goes back to The Mahabharat. However, it doesn't mean that the film is Hindu-centric.
Question: Would you consider this your toughest film ever?
Kamal Haasan: I always take inspiration from K Balachander (Kamal Haasan's guru). He has always taught me to push the envelope. When I began my career, there wasn't a bifurcation like a good film or a bad film. There were only four categories a good commercial film, a bad commercial film, a good art film and a bad art film. I have gone through that phase when I wasn't allowed to make a film. Even the posters of my film were torn up. But this is the first time a cinema chain has thrown its weight around. My film is now releasing with 700 prints in the South (400 in Tamil Nadu alone), 200 overseas and with around 900 prints in North India.
Question: What about the LA premiere?
Kamal Haasan: It is happening on January 10 at Grove Theatre. The entire theatre has been fitted with an Auro- 3D music system. I'm just the third person to do it after Steven Spielberg.
Question: What's next?
Kamal Haasan: Firstly, I have to release my film and then I work on the sequel of this film. It was after the first schedule that I realised the film had a scope for a second part and I then began writing. In fact I have already shot 10 per cent of the film.
Question: You have two daughters. As a father what do you gave to say about the recent Delhi rape?
Kamal Haasan: Yes, I'm concerned. In this country, we celebrate satis. Women have such a low position in our society. It is high time we wake up. However, we cannot become a mob who lynches the rapists. We need stronger and quicker justice, as justice delayed is justice denied.
Question: How have you trained your daughters to stand up and fight?
Kamal Haasan: I have been scared for my kids. And that was the reason why I made a film called Mahanadi, which dealt with flesh trade among kids. I have trained my kids to be aware and conscious that such a thing can even happen to them. I taught them this when they were very young. They needed to learn about the atrocities of the world.

This article appears today on the Front Page of The Hindu (Chennai edition)

Last ditch effort to scuttle Vishwaroopam on DTH
Where the rest of the film industry is yet to take baby steps, Kamal Haasan is attempting to run a marathon. And every one is running scared.
The decision of the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners’ Association and the Tamil Nadu Film Distributors’ Association to “not screen and distribute movies that are released on the Direct-to-Home platform,” taken at a meeting held in Tiruchi on Thursday, seems to be a last-ditch effort to scuttle the novel move by Kamal Haasan to release Viswaroopam on DTH platform as a pay-per-view screening on January 10, a day ahead of its intended theatre release. Theatre owners and distributors are not convinced that DTH is video piracy-proof and believe the showing will drastically cut ticket revenues. Mr. Haasan has been insistent that theatre owners have nothing to fear.

Only consolation seems to be from A.P. as Bad Boy (Alex Pandian) whose release date was planned and announced two months back as Jan 11 is now being postponed to Jan-end. This is the only way Vishwaroopam can get decent number of theatres in A.P. (as the other two Sankranti biggies have taken up the better ones, 50+ each in Hyd alone!).

Kamal Hassan to premiere Vishwaroop in LA
By Subhash K. Jha , Jan 5, 2013 - 10:54 hrs IST
To avoid a direct confrontation with the multiplex theatre chains in North India, which are up in arms against Kamal Haasan's decision to hold a Direct To Home (DTH) premiere of his new film, Vishwaroop would be premiered only in Los Angeles on December 10. Says Kamal Haasan, "We knew all these problems would happen. A DTH premiere of a new film has not happened anywhere in the world. I am willing to take the risk because this move is going to change the movie-viewing experience. We have a premiere in LA on December 10. We couldn't get a DTH deal in the US worked out in time. I am flying down for the LA premiere with all the technicians. I want to show off the technical crew that pulled the films visual effects. They are on a par with what we see in Hollywood. Shekhar Kapoor, who plays a role, would join us."
Kamal Haasan's partner Gauthami who has done all the costumes in Vishwaroop, left for LA a few days earlier than the rest of the team.
Kamal Haasan says Vishwaroop's DTH premiere in the South has not affected its theatrical release. "We've 400 theatres in Tamil Nadu alone. We've confirmations of theatres all across Malaysia, Singapore. In Kerala, even the government is supporting our DTH plans. In Andhra Pradesh, the well-known producer-director Dasari Narayan Rao has taken Vishwaroop for distribution. He believes the DTH screening wouldn't affect its theatrical run."
He admits he would now have to release Vishwaroop on DTH in the North and skip the theatrical release on Friday, January 10. "We have theatres in the North India but not in numbers that we require. We wanted 900 theatres. We are short of that target."
The actor-director-producer says the PVR chain of theatres backed out of a "verbal agreement". Says Kamal, "I had a gentleman's agreement with PVR that if I don't do DTH in the North India, I'd have his full support for a theatrical release all across North India. Then when I went ahead with my DTH plans for South India, PVR changed their mind and said they won't give me their theatres even if I did DTH only on the South. We had to call off the deal. There's a confusion of priorities between the North and South. The North chains feel, 'Wahan manaa kar rahe hain to yahan mana karna padega.'"
However, Kamal Haasan is going ahead with his all-India DTH plans on January 10. "I am not worried. If the theatres don't come forward to release Vishwaroop in the North, I am ready to go straight to DTH in the North. After they see that the DTH in the South would not affect the film's theatrical performance in the North, they'd want a delayed theatrical release after the DTH screening. I am confident this move would prove a positive game-changer for the movie-going experience."

Finally, something from Rahul Bose. He is Omar referred to in the trailer.
http://www.starblockbuster.com/rahul...rview-issue27/
Rahul Bose: ‘Omar does not believe what he is doing is wrong’
Fourteen years after his first negative role, Mr Iyer changes tracks again to play an chameleon-like khalnayak
by Roshmila Bhattacharya
How different was Takshak’s (1999) villain, Sunny, from Omar, the bad man of Vishwaroop/ Vishwaroopam?
On the surface, totally different! But the sense of power and the entitlement to do as one pleases that perpetrators of evil acts possess, was a common link between the two. Sunny was fuelled by money and power, Omar is driven by ideology that powers most radicals. At no point does he believe that what he is doing is wrong.
Did the film require any kind of physical transformation?
I had to grow facial hair, but that apart, Mr Haasan (producer-director-actor Kamal Haasan) was happy with my physicality. We worked hard on the stunts, some days we were caked with mud from head-to-toe. And since Omar has a physical deformity, I sat through long hours of prosthetics telling myself it was terrific for the character and me as an actor because people wouldn’t see Rahul Bose in Omar. There’s a 180 degree transformation in the character’s look from the first half to post interval.
Omar is Afghan, you didn’t need to learn the language or affect an accent?
Mr Haasan was very clear he didn’t want an Afghan or even a half Afghan-half Kashmiri accent. No character from any socio-political background speaks in a geo politically correct accent. That’s the only concession he’s taken.
What was the experience of working with a legend in the 100th year of Hindi cinema?
We have a lot of screen time together and working with Mr Haasan was a pleasure. With all his experience, he knew exactly when a line needed to be re-looked and a shot re-located.
We’re told the special effects are unlike anything we’ve seen in Indian cinema screen before. True?
Commercially and visually it is a very ambitious film and the in-camera photography is stunning. The parts shot in Jordan and Chennai are breathtaking. But I’m clueless about what I shot against the green screen and waiting like you to see what unfolds on screen. It’s my first big, action-packed film and besides actual stunts, there’s a lot of wire and CG work.
There’s talk of a sequel, ready for Part 2?
There’s also talk of him cutting the film in half and releasing it in two parts. Along with a sequel, there are speculations about a prequel too. Both are possible, but only Mr Haasan can tell you if he has any such plans and if I’ll return. I can only tell you that my next is Deepa Mehta’s Midnight’s Children, followed by Shesher Kobita (The Last Poem), a Bengali period film based on a Rabindranath Tagore novel.

Kovai fans, can you throw some light on tirupur subramaniam's clout in that area. With so much confusion , thalaivar's presence in chennai can definitely boost the morale of other theatre owners who are supporting him. unfortunately, he'll be in LA on 10th. definitely there will be some last minute arm twisting to prevent the screening.

I think Kamal is not getting any REAL support from colleagues other than statements like "Kamal is thinking ahead...", "Great" etc.
If the top 5 stars and/or producers have taken a stand that they will follow DTH approach or they will not give their movies to theaters if they don't cooperate with Kamal.. then situation would have been different.
It is a two way dependency relation - not one way - better the theater owners realize it !!!

Every one is watching. They dare not show their support in case the idea flops.
Wait till its successfully done and then sit back and watch the celebrities tripping one over another with statements such as I had no doubts, kamal is great, etc etc.
Which also brings us to the question why kamal is doing this ....

Press Trust of India | Updated: January 06, 2013 18:53 IST
Chennai: Amid stiff opposition to the release of his movie 'Vishwaroopam' on Direct-To-Home (DTH) format, actor Kamal Haasan today complained to police he has been receiving threats that the movie would be pirated and power supply to the cinemas screening it will be suspended.
"I have been receiving threats that the film will be pirated and electricity supply to the theatres which have decided to telecast it will be suspended. Since these are against the law, I preferred to lodge a complaint with Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order)", Mr Haasan told reporters in Chennai.
The 58-year-old actor, also the movie's director, sought the state government's help and met Home Secretary R Rajagopal, sources said.
The Rs. 90 crore movie landed in controversy after the actor decided to release it on DTH platform on January 10, a day ahead of its release in cinemas.
Though several theatre associations, including Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and Madurai-Ramanathapuram United Film Distributors, threatened not to screen the movie, Mr Haasan said the film will be released across 390 theatres.
He described the move as an "evolutionary growth" and insisted it was the "way to go forward".

Mumbai: The cast of Kamal Haasan's 'Vishwaroopam' doesn't boast of big names and the veteran actor-filmmaker says he didn't want stars to overshadow the film -- but he has all intentions to team up with stars in the future. Releasing Jan 11, the Tamil-Hindi bilingual will see Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah and Jaideep Ahlawat playing important roles along with Kamal and Rahul Bose.
"I didn't have patience to work with stars in the film ('Vishwaroopam'). As a director, I wanted to make a film that works around the schedule and not scheduled around the work," Kamal, who has also directed the movie, told IANS.
He further added: "I am not against stars' directors like Ramesh Sippy who had patience to work with stars. I don't have that, probably I lack it."
Won't you work with stars in the future?
"No, it's not like that. The film is too big and I didn't want stars to look bigger than the film. I am a star myself, obviously I will work with stars in the future," he clarified.
A day before its release, DTH will showcase 'Vishwaroopam' on PPV (Pay Per View).
"It is Rs.1,000 to view in Tamil and Rs.500 to view in Hindi and Telugu. We made up our mind to go ahead with Hindi and (dubbed) Telugu much later," said Kamal.
"DTH is available out there and I didn't invent it. I only discovered it and I am happy that people are liking this idea," he added.
Kamal assures that 'Vishwaroopam' is primarily a Hindi film.
"I want to clarify that this is primarily a Hindi film... It is a national film."

watched the audio launch function - I dont understand why all the present day singers / performers have to resort to stupid gimmicks on stage during such functions ? Karthik was pathetic in his rendition of some of Kamal's songs, and hit rock-bottom with 'megan kottatum' which was not done proper justice to, by even Kamal (in the original album) - Karthik's rendition of the same = sagikkavillai - on top of it, under the pretext of engaging the audience, interrupting the song in-between asking them to join - totally unnecessary - somehow I feel most of these singers have been given way too much credit than what they truely deserve.
OTOH Pooja Kumar's dance towards the end was far more aesthetically pleasing (though she seemed to struggle a bit every now and then in maintaining a 'flow' - but maybe because it was live it felt that way)

From: nickraman on 6th January 2013 10:42 PM [Full View]
Same. I feel present day movies' audio functions are built up as a political press conference. Best is to just showcase 2-3 song clippings, movie trailer, audio release and open floor for questions. No more of this, "ivan medai ku naan koopturen, avan pathi konjam sollalam, padathuku experience" We have Youtube for that now. Originally Posted by irir123

few other things that are getting increasingly hilarious:
1. Bharathiraja's obsession with Kamal's 'kovanam' !
2. the way IR responds to certain comments from ppl - the man is just not used to public appearences for more than 20 years - and having done nothing but music, music and more music, the best platform for him in the public arena is either onstage as a performer / conductor, or in conversations pertaining to music

Vishwaroopam on DTH v/s TNTOA – Battle Royale
The DTH operators have started the biggest ever campaign to popularise Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam DTH premiere on January 10 @ 9.30pm. The film is getting huge hype as DTH operators are promoting it through a big print and television campaign.
There is a huge buzz and as per a spokesperson of a DTH operator – “The booking for the premiere is good and will pick up more towards the telecast day. Kamal Haasan is a pathbreaker and the entire Indian film industry is keeping a close watch on Vishwaroopam DTH premiere, which will open an all new revenue stream for the producers.”
Meanwhile Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association (TNTOA) and Tamil Nadu Film Distributors Federation (TNFDF) are opposed to the DTH screening. At a big joint meeting in Tiruchi on January 3 they have passed a resolution not to screen and distribute movies if they are released on the Direct-to-Home platform.
TNTOA president RM Annamalai said they were ready for talks with Kamal before the release of ‘Vishwaroopam’ on DTH platform. And once it is premiered on DTH, they will not be coming forward for any talks, clearly hinting they will not screen the film.
Annamalai said: “What Kamal Haasan is doing is like kicking the ladder after climbing up. He attained star status only after his movies were screened in cinemas all these years”. TNTOA general secretary Paneerselvam wanted Viswaroopam in DTH only after three months of its theatrical release.
At the same time Devi Cineplex, one of Chennai’s better maintained theatre complex has come out strongly in support of Kamal Haasan. Devi’s prestigious big screen has been given to Vishwaroopam. Today (Jan 4) Devi Cineplex has issued an ad saying “Vishwaroopam is releasing shortly”. Devi has been traditionally screening all Kamal biggies from the 1980’s and theatre management has good relationship with the star.
And in Coimbatore Vishwaroopam has come out with an ad listing 32 theatres mainly controlled by Tiruppur Subramaniyam. Remember Subramaniyam was there at Kamal’s press meet when he announced his DTH plans.
After these theatres announced screening of Kamal starrer, TNTOA has said that they will not cooperate with cinema theatres that screen Viswaroopam. The coming week is going to be crucial as Kamal Haasan and TNTOA lock horns.

VR 2 :
Chennai: `Vishwaroopam` is slated to release Jan 11, but superstar Kamal Haasan reveals he has also started shooting for its sequel.
"Right now we are in the process of making `Vishwaroopam 2`. We have finished the script and we have even started shooting for the film," Kamal told IANS.
We will have the same star cast because we are starting the sequel from where we left the first one. It will be a continuation," he added.
Kamal reveals the sequel to "Vishwaroopam", a bilingual action-thriller, will be entirely shot in India.
"This will be completely shot in India because `Vishwaroopam` was shot abroad. You will understand why it is shot in India once you see the film," said the 58-year-old, who has directed "Vishwaroopam" and even acted in it.
Asked if it is his immense confidence in "Vishwaroopam" that he has already started shooting for the sequel, he said: "Of course! That`s what we live with... we plan for tomorrow. I live my life with hope."
`Vishwaroopam` also features Pooja Kumar, Shekar Kapur, Rahul Bose, Andrea Jeremiah and Jaideep Ahlawat.

I read your comment with joy and did a quick internet search. I am sad to tell you that the release of the film in France is doubtful for the moment, accordig to this site : http://tamilexpress.fr/index.php?fil...te&news_id=331 Originally Posted by Cinemarasigan

Note : 3 major companies distribute Tamil films in France : Ayngaran, BR et Anna Film (there is Canal/Gaumont et Pathé also]
No one knows who got the rights for France but the rights for Europe is held by Ayngaran - Can't follow this line, but thats what it says.
This "unknown" has spent 60.000 Euros on Viswaroopam.
Why no release in France on 11th : No theatres were planned. In the end it says that films like 3 Idiots, Don were bought, but never released in France.
[I think it must be Canal who got it - If so the movie will not release, and I do not know why they do that : Buy and keep it in the box. ]

Vishwaroop has to cross 150 crores otherwise it's a failure for me - Kamal Hassan
IndiaGlitz [Monday, January 07, 2013]
Indian cinema's ace talent Kamal Hassan is set to mesmerize again with his next 'Vishwaroop' which has topped the controversy pages for Kamal 's decision of having a DTH release on Jan 10 before the actual theater release.. in a rare interview with indiaglitz Kamal - one of the leading method actor of Indian cinema speaks up on Vishwaroop, the DTH controversy and much more..
We see you less in Hindi?
Its my fault. I was busy making this film.
Is it the most ambitious project of yours?
It's the most costly project and ambitious too by virtue by what we have tried to achieve and the ambition was realized because of the technicians. I have the best team working with me.
There were speculations about Deepika and Sonakshi joining the cast of Vishwaroop then why you later decided to go without star?
They (Deepika, Sonakshi) didn't walk in the project we just negotiated. so many things happen when things don,t work out. The actor can say I don,t like the story, the actor can say I don't like the money or can say I don't have dates. In our case the dates didn't match. This film is not about stars I would love to have stars in it but this film is about the content. Everybody else has to be the subservient about the content and even if you are a star you must understand that the content is big. I can only work with those kinds of people.
How you roped in filmmaker Shekhar Kapoor for the film?
It's the trust and the friendship and it took just 5 minutes to approach him. It took me longer to hire other stars he didn't talk about the money nothing he just walked in.
When was the last time you auditioned for a role?
I audition for a role almost every time even if I am producing it in a sense I keep trying and there are various tests going on not that I will be hired but I keep working till I earn the job.
Is your past box office failure is the reason behind the release of Vishwaroop on DTH platform?
There is no question of non takers in the regular theatre platform. Especially in south 'Vishwaroop' is the most expected film so the regular market is already ready. we would have walked away with bigger profits by the regular market.. I was not settling for bigger profit. What we are trying with DTH is a step ahead
What's your take on the film industry obsession with 100 crores?
If Vishwaroop doesn't cross 150 crore then it's a failure for me. I would call it a weak attempt if it crosses 150 crores and we really hope that we cross in the first week itself.
What makes you so confident?
I am not arrogant I am just saying numbers. I am not talking about the content people will still have to like the film.
Most of the stars want to enter the 100 crore club.. Do you think somewhere down the line the magic of cinema, art, performance is missing in this race where everybody is turning businessman?
Most stars are a business man. The moment you become a star you are talking about money and fame. It's not about the content or the artist's skill anymore.
Earlier the week matters silver jubilee, golden jubilee but now the scenario is different?
Always the collection matters the reason why it took so many things to collect was because our distribution system was small and weak. The numbers of the theaters have now increased to match along with the population. Somewhere along the line we realized that we are not reaching to the number of audience.
How you see fan following in bollywood and Tamil film industry?
It is different. People are the same the love is unanimously the same but they keep telling it in different way. We have some religious rituals (pooja) happened when Amitji was unwell. They don't make a big fuss about it here because not all are politicians over here. In south politics and cinema are very closely related that's why you feel the difference.
At this point of time of your career have you achieved the desired?
If I have the sense of satisfaction I won't be working or giving this interview. There is a lot more to be learnt and I am a dis-satisfied man. I am happy but not content. I came as a technician first and by default I became an actor I am happy not complaining.
Are you still competitive?
Of course all the time I feel the competition. I have competitors in various ages from 18 to 65.
What is your biggest achievement in your long career?
Achievements are decided by people and I think necessity is the mother of invention I live by the necessity somebody will call it as invention or achievement.
What scares you as an actor?
What scares me most is when I will lose my interest to perform and then I will have to find something else.
Any regrets?
Oh I have done 200 films so at least 175 film I can say (laugh)
What is next from you after this?
Vishwaroopam 2. The film is in shooting stage. We are shooting it in India with same starcast. It is a continuation.

While most other issues seem to be resolved/resolving, I think PVR's continued insistence on not screening VR is proving a big hurdle. VR should really be available all over India, especially urban areas. It has the potential for a massive all-India hit. If multiplexes in the North refuse, taking away 500 screens, it is not good.

To be honest, no one releases their movies the week of New Years. People start coming back the week after. Second, movie has no big stars and was barely promoted. Third, movie was made in low cost (and subsidized by Fiji Govt), so they're safe in terms of ROI. Originally Posted by pushpak

Every new step, every discovery has since time immemorial been criticised and resisted. When the railway stream engine first began hissing, people ran away or hid themselves thinking that it was a huge black monster.
When Aristotle said the earth was spherical, the Greeks were ready to kill him. Similarly, when Satyajit Ray’s doctor hero in Ganashatru (Enemy of the People) found that the holy water of a temple was causing diseases, he was warned of dire consequences.
Now, when Indian actor Kamal Hassan is all set to release his latest multilingual film, Viswaroopam, in the Direct-To-Home format on Jan 10, a day before worldwide theatrical release, he has been receiving telephone calls threatening to flood the market with pirated discs of the movie.
The threats also spoke of electricity being switched off to those theatres screening Viswaroopam. Some cinema owners have decided to play safe and not to show it.
Kamal Hassan is of course determined to go ahead with his DTH plan.
The one-time screener of the film will be available for Rs 1000. Once viewed, the movie cannot be stored in the DTH Set-Top Boxes. So there is no question of replaying it.
In an audio cast on a social networking site, SoundCloud, he averred: “This is targeted at a niche segment that wants to be entertained in the comfort of their homes. It is purely for the excitement of watching it on the first day. The cinema hall experience is still something else,” he said.
“The majority is still going to enjoy the film in cinema halls. We have recorded the sound in world-class technology (auro sound). That was done to get people to cinema halls. Running scared of DTH is like the majority of 99 per cent getting scared of the 1 per cent,” he said.
Dispelling the fears of the Tamil Film Producers’ Association that this DTH move will lead to video piracy, Kamal Hassan quipped that moviemakers must be allowed to explore all legal avenue of earning money.
Only time will tell us who is right, Kamal Hassan or the producers.
But the fact remains that movie pirates are a deadly force to reckon with, as villainous as Long John Silver and his ilk on the high seas were. And incidentally, Pondicherry – a two-hour drive from Chennai through the picturesque East Coast Road — is said to be the piracy capital of India.
Although, Kamal Hassan’s film may have little to do with piracy per se and more about earning extra revenue through home screening, the evil is here to stay unless producers take even bolder steps.
The window period between a theatrical and a video release must not be more than a few weeks — like it is in Japan and some other countries. Big producers can factor in video rights in their agreements with distributors or make disks of their own movies at rates that will stop consumers from peeping into the pirate’s den. Are these too difficult to accomplish?

Kamal Hassan is known for his pioneering works in Indian cinema and his passion for experimenting knows no bounds. As usual Kamal has overcome the barriers and his Vishwaroopam is all set to release on January 11th.We at cinemalead bring you ten reasons to celebrate the pioneer’s prestigious Vishwaroopam.
Kamal is always ahead of time in his thinking and he has proved with his movies like Anbe Sivam, Hey Ram and Guna. People have started appreciating and celebrating it, though a little late. Vishwaroopam is a magnum opus and will sure be a treat.
Vishwaroopam is the first Indian movie to feature Auro 3D technology and many Indian and Hollywood movies will follow this technology in future. We should welcome and celebrate Vishwaroopam because of this technology.
Kamal is an actor who consider cinema as an art. Probably he is one person who invests all the money he earned, back in cinema. If we welcome and celebrate Vishwaroopam one can expect more quality films from the legend in future.
DTH premiere is a new business model and industry feels that it is an additional revenue which will support big budget films. So why not we welcome this new attempt.
If Vishwaroopam makes more profit, Kamal might do his dream projects like Marudhanayagam and several such projects may follow suit, which will make our country proud.
Vishwaroopam received accolades from Lord of the Rings and Matrix producer Barrie Osborne and he has asked Kamal to direct a Hollywood movie. So Vishwaroopam’s success will be a gift to an Indian, a Tamilian before he leaves to do a Hollywood project.
Kamal is the only actor who has mastered Kathak dance and portrayed it in on screen. Why not Vishwaroopam for his passion and dedication to the art.
Even young actors prefer dupe in stunts but even in late 50’s Kamal has performed risky stunts without body doubles. Pearl Harbour stunt man is awestruck with Kamal’s dedication. We should celebrate Vishwaroopam for his dedication.
Vishwaroopam depicts the need of the hour message ie., the reason for terrorism and power of peace. For this global reason, we should celebrate Vishwaroopam.
After Aalavandhan, Kamal and Madhu Soodhanan have joined hands for the VFX in Vishwaroopam. The animation sequence in Aalavanthan inspired Quentin Tarantino in Kill Bill (Manga sequence) and one can expect similar kind of excellent VFX work in Vishwaroopam. So let’s celebrate Vishwaroopam.
We at cinemalead wish tremendous success for Ulaganayagan’s Vishwaroopam.

Nov, there was a big deal worth 50 Crores was going on to release "Good Quality" pirated DVDs on the day of VR's release. Mainly to stop that and to tap the income from A++ grade crowd who would like to watch the movie in the first weeks, Kamal came up with this idea. In fact he under estimated that the subscriptions will be around 1 lakh.. Originally Posted by NOV

immediately this will be termed as a defeat for Kamal by the theatre owners and some anti -kamal media especially ToIlet paper. already thatstamil.com has published this by saying only 45 theatres are ready to screen while in actual it is more.Moreover it also says DTH bookings were not up to the expectation and how do you ensure maximum exposure when theatre owners themselves say there aren't any more theatres available to accomodate VR Originally Posted by NOV

VISHWAROOPAM MOVIE PREVIEW from Cinemalead..
http://www.cinemalead.com/movieprevi...-preview59.htm
interesting thing is "One of the stunt scenes was choreographed by Pearl Harbour stunt man and it is said to be a jaw dropping sequence. War sequences are said to be shot in raw and realistic manner .Barrie Osborne appreciated Kamal for his perfection in depicting such sequences in the film."
-
From: Cinefan on 8th January 2013 11:42 AM [Full View]
Don't want to react to rumours but feel there is little chance he will back out of a DTH premiere now.
There will be water tight agreements in place,operators esp Airtel have done lot of promotion and he will be sued apart from theatrical release getting stalled via court orders.
Even if he convinces the operators,subscribers can go to court for breach of agreement.
Add huge loss in credibility.
Think any settlement with theatre owners will be without disturbing the DTH release.
Guess theatre owners are falling in line seeing response to bookings opened,industry pressure plus some tough talking from the government.
Wait and watch dhaan.
-
From: hamid on 8th January 2013 12:19 PM [Full View]
Agree with CF.. Kamal wont backout from DTH release at this stage.. the main theme of the advertisements are "seeing in your home before theater release". cant chage tht at this point..He seems very clear and confident of the business model and his movie content..
Maybe he will give up something little so that the theatre owners can gracefully accept the verdict and save their face...
anyway.. it is us who have seen it as a battle between them from the first.. he was clear and said they are only afraid and hence against it.. it is my duty to convince them.. Hope and believe he has done that now...

What the F.
What kind of a compromise is this that pushes the release to 25th losing out on a fantastic holiday weekend.
What will be achieved except more screens.If 390 is already booked,then why bother?
If PVR does not support,show the middle finger and get on.If it does not release in Karnataka and Kerala,so be it.Naanga wait pannuvom.Theatres WILL fall in line.
Will he also postpone DTH premiere?has to,can't have a 10 day delay between DTH and theatrical release.
Who is doing all this stupid mediation or bending to arm twisting?
Kamal Sir,pls don't lose respect,credibility and support you have gained on this issue till now,plzzzzzzzz.

It will be a dum move to postpone VR and surely collection will be affected bec of kadal ,paradesi,samar and aadibagavan. These people are working their level best to make VR a flop or atleast not to make it a super blockbuster. This is the right time to release VR and spoil their plan.

I always used to argue that Kamal is not a "good" business man. This time (with DTH etc ) I was happy that he is proving me wrong.

Anban,
You are required here badly.The tweets are creating confusion esp when Malaysia and UAE cinemas tweet about a postponement.
B(K)called me,said unable to get in touch with "Makkal".
IMO,any postponement will be interpreted as
a)DTH subscriptions did not meet expectations
b)390 theatres was a' buruda'
c)Requirement for more theatres became very imp and hence despite all the big talk HE FELl IN LINE.
OR
There is a concerted effort to pull him down and he has probably made his last film in Tamil.How much strong arm tactics can he bear?

The sudden postponement of Vishwaroopam to 25th January, is forcing other film makers who had planned to release their films around that time to push their films. Among the victims are Mani Ratnam and Ameer. Kadal, which was earlier planned for a February 1st release, might get pushed for a later date.
Similarly, Ameer who has been making his film for a long time will have to postpone the date of release of Aadhi Bhagavan from January 25th to a later date. The speculation is that both Kadal and Aadhi Bhagavan will hit the screens during the fag end of February, probably along with Paradesi.

2. or they have come down now agreeing for his d2h idea but the screens were already booked by other films like alex pandian etc., (in which case its not the theatre owners mistake now, and its purely kamals own decision to have postponed it)

I think many theaters would have backed out at the last minute either because of pressure from owners' association or because they cheated in a planned way as part of a game plan.
So Kamal would have had no choice because with 30-40 theaters (or zero) in whole of Tamilnadu, he can't do anything..

And they also forget that it's a few among them are the reasons behind the TCRips available in the net, hours after the film's release.

Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroopam to miss release date
Revised dates will be announced later, Haasan could not to be reached for comments
Kamal Haasan's much-awaited film Vishwaroopam will not hit the screens, both Direct-To-Home (DTH) and theatres, as scheduled. The original plan was to release the movie in DTH platform on January 10 and January 11 in theatres, but now it was stated that the revised dates will be announced later. Theatre owners have been objecting Haasan's decision to release the movie first on DTH.
"In-line with the postponement of the release date of the movie Vishwaroopam [Tamil & Telugu]/Vishwaroop [Hindi] across theaters and on the DTH platform by Rajkamal Films, we have stopped taking bookings for the movie premiere," said Shashi Arora, CEO- DTH/Media, Bharti Airtel.
The movie was scheduled for January 10, 2013 at 9.30 pm on Airtel DTH. "We are awaiting confirmation from Rajkamal Films on the revised dates," he added. The actor-cum-producer of the movie Haasan could not be reached for a comment and no official communication from his office has been made.
Salil Kapoor, COO, Dish TV also confirmed that the company has received a communication from Rajkamal Films saying it is reviving the plan, and the release, both in DTH and theatres, has been postponed. "We are waiting for more clarity, since no reason was stated," he said.
Similarly other DTH players, who inked with Rajkamal films, have also confirmed that they stopped booking. Haasan last week announced that he joined hands with six DTH players – Airtel DTH, Tata Sky, Videcon, Sun Direct, Dish TV and Reliance Big TV – to air his Rs 95-crore movie, around 8-10 hours before it was scheduled to release in theatres.
Meanwhile, the movie has created one more confusion in Chennai. While advertisements in newspapers have stated that bookings in theatres will start from January 8, all the theatres have turned down Haasan's fans that went to theatres and tried booking online. It was also stated that the movie will not be released on January 11 as said in the advertisement.
Business Standard also called the theatres, which were listed in the advertisements, to cross check and all of them have said they are not taking bookings.
The theatres include, Sathyam, Devi, Devikala, Escape, Inox, Pilot, Perambur S2 and others in the city. The representatives of the theatres said they were instructed not to take any bookings and few of them were told that the movie release postponed to January 25 or 26.
Sathyam's spokesperson said we are yet to receive an update on the same, therefore we will not be able to comment on this at the moment.
The controversy on releasing the movie started after the actor decided to release it on DTH platform on January 10, a day ahead of its release in cinemas.
Exhibitors and theatre owners have started protesting to this decision and the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association (TNTOA) announced that it would not release the film in theatres.

Nothing official from the main player yet.Hmmmmmm!
If true,as a couple of hubbers have pointed out,why?
a)Theatres have accepted to withdraw boycott but not enough screens available on 11th-Best case scenario
b)DTH cancelled as even theatres whuch had accepted to screen backed out.Hence he climbed out,compromised and agreed for only theatrical release on 25th-Worst case scenario.Good chance the DTH operators will f@#* Rajkamal.Even if he convinces them and the subscribers with just a refund,huge loss of face and credibility.
c)DTH numbers are very less and need for more screens became a neccessity.Again huge loss of face and credibility.Open for all kinds of 'kindal' and his business acumen will be under severe questioning.
11th release will be ideal or atleast a)should be the case.
Please confirm one thing or another.Will help me decide if I should stay or log out for 3 weeks.

Eventhough I am againt DTH release (strictly with respect to Kamal's reputation), its not only a bold but innovative step and not only for cinema but for the whole enviornment of TV => http://www.mayyam.com/talk/showthrea...l=1#post993750
And yes, they all missed to see it !
Kamal showed them a way to make money while shaking legs, they failed to recognise it simply due to ego problem : Nee periyavana, illa naan periavana. In local words "Weight Katranga". Pathetic.

From reliable sources ,theatre guys are only ready to give more screens on condition that there is no parallel release and this is according to them non negotiable .They are ready for dth release after 3-4 weeks from the date of theatrical release. Abirami ramanatan and some other part are ready to payoff the dth companies and take up the distribution for tamil nadu .Now the question is will the dth companies will accept the advance return and let KH off the hook or they are going to sue for damages for promotion and tecnical stuff.

Chennai: Amid stiff opposition to the release of his movie 'Vishwaroopam' on Direct-To-Home (DTH) format, actor Kamal Haasan today complained to police he has been receiving threats that the movie would be pirated and power supply to the cinemas screening it will be suspended.
"I have been receiving threats that the film will be pirated and electricity supply to the theatres which have decided to telecast it will be suspended. Since these are against the law, I preferred to lodge a complaint with Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order)", Mr Haasan told reporters in Chennai.
The 58-year-old actor, also the movie's director, sought the state government's help and met Home Secretary R Rajagopal, sources said.
The Rs. 90 crore movie landed in controversy after the actor decided to release it on DTH platform on January 10, a day ahead of its release in cinemas.
Though several theatre associations, including Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and Madurai-Ramanathapuram United Film Distributors, threatened not to screen the movie, Mr Haasan said the film will be released across 390 theatres.
He described the move as an "evolutionary growth" and insisted it was the "way to go forward".

Joe sir. Official news varra varaikum ethayum namba mudiyala. There are too many things to consider, as Vishwaroop, the Hindi version is also releasing nation wide. They have to think about the theatres availability across the nation. athaan. RKFI and the DTH providers have to clarify as early as possible. Otherwise there would be a panic reaction from subscribers who have paid 1K. 26/27 is also good for theatrical release as 26th is a national holiday here. Wide release irundhuchunna weekend pramadhama irukkum. Originally Posted by joe

If the date is communicated early we can definitely expect an increase in subscriptions. And I hope these providers do not entertain cancellations. Thala suththudhu.

The fight back by the TNTOA is not on Vishwaroopam, they know, they can manage to gain profits for any technically advanced big budget movies which has star value - like VR . Theatre crowd cannot be impacted by DTH.
They are fighting against the plight of movies going to take this DTH path . I would honestly prefer to see sundarapandian/pizza/naduvlakonjam pakatha kanom in DTH with my family rather than going and sitting in poorly maintained theaters.
TNTOA cannot sabotage the DTH route, instead with the help of producers and other DTH associations they can frame a regulation to decide which movies are eligible for DTH screening and how they should be priced kind of things. that would make more sense rather than completely fighting against something innovative and futuristic.

Moreover, Kamal believed in Film workers Union defending the FEFSI even at the cost of some of the most senior Directors like Balachander and Barathiraaja during 1997 and also recently. He has been consistently opposing naming of Nadigar sangam as thamizh nadigar sangam from the current South indian Film actors association.
So, perhaps Kamal shouldnt get all into Self-Pity mood. You win some and lose some. Live to fight another day..
Theater unionism had defeated "mudhalALi" kamalhaasan, he has to pay the 910 rubaai now! and perhaps the 1000/- rupees that DTH customers paid too!
Kamal should probably understand that even the best of his connoisseurs can have their own Political stance in this issue, swallow his pride and just get on with it.
P.S:
I shouted at the DTH customer Service executive to Pay back the 1000/- bucks they gobbled up from my account and he said he'd do it in a day..

By this we can get a large audience thru which revenue could be generated in all forms of services ; atleaset low budget and art films will get audiences.
But the downfall is many crap movies would be made and promoted massively, in the likes of Cable TV movies. But its fine, I love watching movies under this category "so-bad-it's-good". It will be fun - Return of 42nd Street ... LoL

Vishwaroopam to hit theatres first
Vishwaroopam to hit theatres first
http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/...cle4287664.ece
CHENNAI, January 8, 2013
Kamal Haasan’s novel move to leverage technology and create a new revenue stream for his film Vishwarooopam through a direct-to-home television premiere has been torpedoed by the traditional players — theatre owners and distributors keen on protecting their turf.
By Tuesday night, the actor-director, Tamil Nadu Film Theatres Owners’ Association and producer-director Keyar together decided that the film will hit the theatres first. “The day and date when it is expected to be released will be decided at the second round of meeting tomorrow [Wednesday],” said R Pannerselvam, general secretary of the association. In an age when the money a movie makes in the first few weeks of its release often determines its success, Mr. Haasan was hoping the DTH screening would be a big help.
An official statement from Airtel CEO for DTH/Media Shashi Arora said: “In line with the postponement of the release date of the movie Vishwaroopam across theatres and DTH platform by Rajkamal Films, we have stopped booking for the movie premiere that was scheduled for January 10 at 9.30 p.m.”
Ever since the actor announced his ambitious plan for DTH, it has been a match of bobbing and weaving with a section of theatre owners and distributors who view the move as being detrimental to the theatre business.
Last week, the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and the Tamil Nadu Film Distributors Federation decided not to screen and distribute movies that are released on DTH platform. Subsequently, bookings were open only in a limited number of theatres for Vishwaroopam.

Plea to bar release of ‘Vishwaroopam’ dismissed
ONE LESS THING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT
http://www.thehindu.com/news/states/...cle4287904.ece
CHENNAI, January 9, 2013
The Madras High Court on Tuesday dismissed with costs of Rs.10,000 an application in a suit seeking an injunction restraining Raajkamal Films International and others from releasing the Kamal Hasan-starrer ‘Vishwaroopam,’ pending payment of outstanding dues to an entertainment company.
Justice V.K.Sharma passed the order on an application by Regent Saimira Entertainment Ltd which said that the defendants were liable to pay Rs.10.50 crore along with interest.
During December, the defendants had publicised that the film would be released on January 11. They were not free to commence any new production due to an MOU of April 2008. Such a venture ought to have been undertaken after payment of dues to creditors. Raajkamal Films International submitted that there were no dues payable by it and four others to Regent Saimira Entertainment Ltd.
Totally misconceived
Mr. Justice Sharma said the entertainment company neither had a prima facie case nor was it going to suffer any irreparable loss if no injunction was granted. The application was totally misconceived, he said.

A few hours ago:
http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/...cle4287664.ece
Chennai, Jan. 8: Following his marathon meetings with theatre owners and film distributors, Kamal Haasan has put off the release date of his mega-budget movie Vishwaroopam — both on the direct-to-home platform and theatres.
Though there is no official communiqué from RaajKamal Films on this to the media, it is learnt that the producer has sent out mails to all DTH service providers stating the decision to postpone the release date of the movie. Following this, DTH service providers have stopped accepting bookings from their subscribers.
In his response to Business Line, Shashi Arora, CEO, Airtel DTH, said with the postponement of the release date of the movie by RaajKamal Films, the service provider was not taking bookings any more for the movie premiere that was scheduled for January 10 at 9.30 p.m. “We are awaiting confirmation from the producer on the revised dates,” he said.
Representatives of RaajKamal Films are seeking at least 400 screens across Tamil Nadu to launch the movie. But, since most theatre owners have already signed up for two other Tamil films and a Telugu film, due for release around the same time, screens are not available on January 11. Hence, theatre owners have requested RaajKamal Films to reschedule the release to a subsequent date, “preferably to January 26,” sources said.
Even though some theatres launched bookings for the movie, not many booked tickets as there was confusion among Kamal Haasan's fans on the release date.
The whole episode started with Haasan's decision to premiere the multi-lingual film on the DTH platform a day before its theatre release. Theatre owners protested this move saying “it will set a precedent for other film makers and producers that can wipe out the business of cinema halls,” and they refused to offer screens. Even theatre owners in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Mumbai too joined the protest.
The film maker is now set to be in talks with theatre owners to decide on the release date of the film - both in theatres and the DTH platform.

Even 50 % of the net gain from the dth profits can be shared with the theatre owners who are screening the film .This amount can be given as discounts the theatre screening the film.This can be a solution for solving the present impasse.To make the deal more appealling it should be stated that the producers who are going with dth preview model dont have to make MG and producers who choose the present system not release in dth should get hefty MG's from theatre owner .This would be a win win condition for all concerned.

Guess either of the two has happened:

DTH numbers were very low and requirement of more screens became a necessity.So he climbed down.

1. The present power cuts in T.N. was a big drawback for dth booking .
2 The price of 1000 was a little high., 500 would have drawn more people.
3 Reliance and Tata sky started booking and promoting late and half heatedly.
4 KH is a very good actor and good technician but not a good business man. He should stick to only acting/directing and leave the business end to others.
5 Having been in the industry for more then 50 years he should have known that in Tamil nadu politics and cinefield are intertwined and you can do anything without the help of whoever who holds the C.M. post at that time, he might have pulled this off if Mr Karunanithi was in power.
6 When trying something so new and radical he should gone with a low budget project and tested the water not on a high budget venture. Each month VR get delayed .he would be incurring huge interest on the films capital of 95c already its delayed by 8 months and interest on 95c would be substantial.
All we fans and well wishers can only pray and keep our fingers crossed hoping he could somehow release VR and comeout without much loss.

Result of late night yesterday's press conference:
Viswaroopam to hit theatres' first instead of on DTH
Kamal Hassan's plan to release his trilingual "Viswaroopam" on the DTH platform ahead of its release in theatres has received a setback with the movie now hitting the screens first.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting between the actor-director, Tamil Nadu Film Theatres Owners' Association, producer-director Keyar and others at Kamal Hassan's office here.
Association General Secretary R Pannerselvam told reporters after the meeting that the film would hit theatres first. However, the day and date on when it would be released had not been finalised, he said. "The day and date when it is expected to be released will be decided at the second round of meeting tomorrow," he said.
Rajkamal Films International had scheduled the release on DTH platform on January 10 at a rate of Rs 1,000 for Tamil version and Rs 500 for the Hindi and Telugu versions.
Soon after Kamal Hassan's decision to release the movie on DTH platform, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and Madurai-Ramanathapuram United Film Distributors had threatened to not release it in theatres and asked him to reconsider his decision and cancel licences given to relevant companies for airing it.
Meanwhile, Airtel CEO DTH and Media, Shashi Arora said the company has stopped bookings for the premiere, scheduled for January 10. "In line with the postponement of the release date of the movie Vishwaroopam (Tamil and Telugu)/Viswaroop (Hindi) across theatres on DTH platform by Rajkamal films, we have stopped taking bookings for the movie premiere," he said.
He said they were awaiting confirmation from Rajkamal films on the revised dates. Besides Airtel DTH, the movie is expected to be released on Dish TV and Videocon among others.
Viswaroopam has courted controversy with some Muslim outfits demanding it be screened to them prior to its release, expressing concern over the depiction of the community in the movie, which they said portrayed them in "bad light".

Nope P.Chidambaram was initially into Communist movements in his student days. Later he joined congress, was what i recall having read. But Lawyer Family of Kamal having good rapport with Nalini-Chidambaram Lawyer family seems to be more in line. Also Nalini's amma Saundhara Kailasam/ Father Kailasam - Kailasam was a Judge, if i recall right. Incidentally , Saundhara - Kailasam were thEvars/gounders presumably - and Chidambaram was a chettiar. I've read that Chidambarams family didnt approve this marriage at that time.

This same Saundhara Kailasam was also then one who was instrumental in the Marriage of vairamuthu-Ponmani jOdi during mid/later-1970s. That Vairamuthu has a lot of nanrikkadan towards PC's family is due to this fact!

I want Kamal to go ahead with DTH release if he does not want to lose his face. If he surrenders to theater unionism, "yAr enRu purikiRathaa..ivan thee enRu therikiRathaa.." - nu pAttu pAdinaal sarva nichayamai nakkal adippArkaL.
After 2009 eezham war backstabbing, Mu.Ka was propped up and praised by both Rajini and Kamal in numerous functions. Kamal can't say i am "mayyam" guy anymore! If JJ want him to surrender to her he doesnt have the moral authority to question it.
If he rebels against "establishment" now, we will question him why he acquiesced with Mu.Ka in the "eezham genocide poosi mezhugal project" between 2009-2011, by participating in umpteen Mu.Ka adipodi kazhuvi vidum functions.
Better he keeps his face by getting on with DTH release and losing money rather than surrendering to theater owners, and losing reputation with general public and rasigars and connoisseurs. But he should understand that this going to be a Minefield of a trick to pull off.
You gotta take a consistent stand or pay the price, without whining.

well said geno - while I agree with what you are implying, to be fair to both Kamal and Rajini, what is that they can do, when Mu.Ka's family is populated with goondas ? just a sample: MK Azhagiri going around collecting hafta money in madurai area like those dadas in 'Sathya' - with such high-profile mafia dadas in the family, neither of them would have had a chance if they had not towed their lines - vera vazhi illai - personally, i dont think either of them would have denied support to the eelam cause - but how the heck do you expect movie stars/professionals to take stances when their careers could be threatened ? in the US, a George Clooney or a Matt Damon can take a stance, because by and large, the justice system is relatively better balanced for them to take recourse to, in case their words backfire in the form of politicians targeting them - but can the same be possible in India ? such is the sad state of affairs - again, I agree with your stance that Kamal may not have the moral authority to question JJ's high-handedness (if its true) in this case, given his poosi mazhugals with Mu.Ka - what to do ?

Thatstamil is posting crap messages... Why should Kamal decide or backtrack based on the number of people ordered Vishwa on DTH? He would have sold it for a fixed price.. it is upto the DTH operators to promote and get orders from subscribers... The theatre unavailability could be a possibility.. But definitely highhandedness/arm twisting with politics at the background is the reason for this...

and that too they have mentioned only 3 crores have been collected which means only 30000 subscribers. even if we discount reliance and Tata as they came late, 30000 among 4 service providers seem to be on the lower side. until the operators come out with the numbers these anti kamal media will heap shit on him.

I agree with this, PR. I wanted to touch upon these questions in a separate post. It's true that the film doesn't offer an express critique of Gandhian politics. And when I say the film's perspective is refracted through Dravidian politics, I mean it's from the vantage point of Dravidian politics -- which as such does not even have a presence within the film's frame (which is really pan-Indian) but seems entangled in the distance from which Kamal narrates this semi-fiction. Originally Posted by P_R
As Qalandar says (and I completely agree with this), "[t]he ‘conversation’ in this film takes place within the Hindu ideological matrix (not every Hindu is on the right in this film)." I think this is a very crucial point to precisely approach the film. Originally Posted by Qalandar
So while the above point of yours is true, I think the film, far from de-emphasizing Gandhi's Hindu-ness, pits the self-image of a Hindu he puts forth (traditional, pious, moderate/adaptive and non-violent, saintlike androgyny) against the other Hindu self-image (modern, nationalistic, rigid and aggressive, masculine). His Ram against Abhyankar/the Maharaja's Ram if you will. When the film came out, I remember The Hindu (in the Sunday Magazine section if I'm not mistaken) had a review of the film which talked about the many Rams invoked in the film. This is implicit in the film the way the conversations occur in the film. Originally Posted by P_R
Kamal of course assumes a certain degree of awareness of what this figure/ghost of Gandhi (again, a traditional, non-aggressive leader) meant and continues to mean for India and the various (more often than not) modern perspectives in opposition to this. Unlike the partition of India and Gandhi's assassination, I'd argue the idea that Gandhi was a leader who lacked in aggression is something most Indians are subliminally aware of. It's precisely this feeling that Kamal taps into with broad strokes. (How strong this feeling is, varies from region to region, that's a different matter.) I think Kamal was on the money here. Even as the uninitiated might have been uanware of the Hindu right-wing's pointed criticisms on Gandhi, the self-evident manner in which an aggressive Hindu nationalist like Abhyankar would blame the 'weaker/softer' Hindu leader is unmissable (Jamalan's point about ego vs. alter ego is spot on here). Abhyankar's Speaking for myself, back when I saw it in 2000, I was also one of those who had just a superficial understanding of the pre-indenepdence Indian political space/atmosphere (and indeed politics in general!), but I remember thinking the various reactions casting doubt whether the film is really "pro-Gandhi" (i.e. whether it eulogises the Gandhial ideal) was quite understandable. For instance, Abhyankar's photograph we see in Saket Sr.'s room after his death evokes the sense that Saket's feeling about all that happened and his eventual redemption is still perhaps quite ambiguous. I remember Ravi Vasudevan's piece on the film touched upon this point as well. And then there are various moments that ironically depict the disconnect different Hindus have with the Gandhian ideal (like the moment when Saket punches Amjad in his face which you quoted earlier). I think this ties in with this point Satyam makes in his take:Consider all these elements alongside the various riddles strewn throughout the film. Geno has already talked about some of them (Harappan civilization, the entry of other people and cultures, the ensuing religious fundamentalism and so on). The other moment I'd like to highlight again is the scene in the ambulance where Saket Jr. and his friend talk about the danger in mixing religion and politics again offering a modern perspective that calls for abandoning of all engagement with religious idioms in public spaces. Which is of course the tendency of the modern secular man which is very much in opposition to what Gandhi's idea of sociopolitical emancipation was. However, despite casting these doubts, the film ultimately recognizes the 'greater' truth about the sanity of the Gandhian position amidst all the ideological madness; and I daresay wonders -- more importantly, raises the crucial question -- if it's the religious emancipation that engenders this sanity. Originally Posted by Satyam
I believe the film wants us to leave with this sense of ambiguity regarding how to deal with the Mahatma figure (the stunning image of Saket Jr. opening the windows that has a huge sketch of Gandhi and light flooding in) in our modern times and grappling with that proverbial question of the need for (a) God, which ties this powerful film to what has been one of Kamal Haasan's chief concerns as a writer-filmmaker.

Viswaroopam delayed for my convenience: Kamal
Clearing the air on various theories doing the rounds about his decision to delay the release of Viswaroopam, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan today said the movie's release had been postponed to a future date only for his convenience.
.
Addressing reporters at an 'authoritative press meet' (as claimed by Kamal) at his office in Alwarpet here, he said, 'I am the only person who is entitled to decide on the release date of Viswaroopam. It is my product. No one else can take a decision on this.'
Explaining as to why he chose to delay the release of the 'much-awaited' film, which was originally slated to hit the screens on 11 January and was set to be premiered on DTH platform on 10 January, Kamal said he decided so due to commercial reasons.
'We want all the versions of the film (Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) to release on the same day. Also we would like to give more time for people to subscribe for DTH premiere. So I will soon decide on a release date which is comfortable in all aspects,' Kamal said.
Stating that some of his peers in the industry requested him to premiere the movie on DTH platform on the same day of its theatrical release, as against his original decision to air the movie a day ahead of its release, Kamal said, 'I will decide on this. And only I should decide on this.'
Refuting that he succumbed to pressure from various sides, Kamal said, 'I am doing a honest and legitimate trade. No one has the right to stop me from going ahead. I will take legal action on those who threaten me and who try to prevent me from doing this.' Kamal also urged the industry to look ahead.
'The decision to air the movie on DTH platform is not a selfish one. It will open new doors to the industry. It will create a new business model,' Kamal said. He, however, pointed out that he was hurt that the industry was not 'looking ahead'.
He also said that he had full confidence with the government machinery with ragrd to clamping down on illegal exhibition of the film.

The story of Viswaroopam is about an Indian couple Vishwanath and Roopa Nirupama, who reside in America. Vishwanath alias Wiz is a Kathak dance master and Nirupama is in US for doing higher studies. They both live a normal life as no love exists between them. Nirupama gets her Phd and gets a job, while Wiz runs his dance class in New Jersey.
Nirupama develops new ambitions but her marriage hinders her. She wishes for a divorce, but she has no valid reasons for seeking a divorce. She hires a detective to rake up something on her husband. The thrilling sequences form the rest of the story.
(Highlight, if you want to read the sypnosis above)
The movie is shot around a budget of 95 crores. It is a thriller movie where Kamal Hassan plays the role of an Afghan Mujahideen. By making a special set in Chennai, the makers brought in Afghanistan, its green valleys, the rough mountains and their houses where the first schedule took place. The second schedule was held in Jordan; Vishwaroopam is the first Tamil movie to be made in Jordan.

The DTH premiere in India of Kamal Haasan's new movie Vishwaroopam/Vishwaroop, which was due to take place on 10 January, before its worldwide theatrical release on 11 January, might not happen, as Rajkamal Films has postponed the release date.
Salil Kapoor, COO of Dish TV, told the Hindustan Times: "The release of the movie has been postponed and nothing else has happened."
The revised dates are yet to be announced by Rajkamal Films.
Neither Dish TV nor Airtel would confirm the number of bookings they have got for the movie, but Kapoor said: "We will go by what our customers want us to do. If they want a refund, we will refund the money."

now everything has to start all over again. Talk to Balaji, Dasari etc. This time he should reduce the price to Rs 500 and not release the movie in TN itself.

Client meeting,unable to watch videos or read all the posts.
Good he has spoken,was very badly required to put an end to all speculation.
Good he has not backtracked on DTH.
Looks like he is not going to succumb to arm twisting/pressure but there is no denying that he has been let down by his peers.
Not announcing release date is a downer but we don't know what he is going through.
Plz keep interacting and never allow the mafia to call the shots.You have support outside the in

One thing I dont understand is what was this meeting about? what are the theater owners demand? Kamal didnt budge to anything.. why the hell they were giving interviews y'day saying the movie will release in theatres first??? who gave them the authority? Kamal clearly spit in their face by saying.. I am the only one who will give the release date of vishwaroopa,. he clearly also said, he is considering the simulttanneous release in DTH... the default option still is DTH before theater release...
so, what have the TNTOA achieved? How come just the opposite sort of news was spread all acorss??? How come even those who are so confidenet even got to believe that Kamal budged to others demands????

KAMAL'S CHECKMATE FOR THREATENERS
Kamal made a warning to all the threateners in todays presss meet. Kamal said that according to Competition Commission of India(CCI) no one can directly or indirectly ban any film. If their crime is proved then they have to pay 10 % of their three year income to Kamal Hassan. For example if the threatener runs a business which provides him a income of 100 crore per year then he have to pay 10% his 3 year income say 30 crore to Raj Kamal film since he illegally banned Vishwaroopam. The penalty will be applicable to all the people who are trying to ban Vishwaroopam , Kamal in todays press meet said that he have sent notice to 13 members. So all the thirteen have to pay the penalty if they are legally convicted.

CCI restrains Karnataka film chamber from banning ‘Raavan’
“Reliance Big Pictures has filed a complaint against at least 12-13 parties in different territories, mostly non-Hindi speaking belts, exhibitors’ associations discriminate against Hindi films, in terms of number of cinema halls as well as number of shows which is unfair and non-competitive,” an official source told PTI.
According to a company statement, “The CCI has passed a judgement in favour of Reliance BIG Pictures restraining Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce from taking any action direct or indirect to prevent any exhibitor from exhibiting the film ‘Raavan’ and ‘Raavanan’ in the State of Karnataka if exhibitors are willing and desirous to exhibit these films.”

Towards the end he told about a press reporter releasing statements ... I wish he should have mentioned Twitter and Facebook also. That would calm down the tweets about earth shatering thingy happening or not.
His product, his decesion. If you like it then buy it. I dont think anyone has been so clear and bold. Predicated that his song would get into trouble, but seeing this suituation I strongly feel that it should have come true. Then, only some muting here and there would have happened and the movie would have got released. *sigh*

3) TNTOA may totally object DTH concept and boycott theater screening

If the actor becomes a producer, like KH has done now, they have their OWN unique way of doing business just like KH has his way. They will do whatever they think as wise for recovering their investment. It is as simple as that. They don't need to follow the foot-steps of KH if they find that as risky.

Hope Hindu gets it right today, Yesterday they too said no DTH
http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/...cle4290654.ece
Kamal Haasan mulling same day DTH, theatre release of his film
Kamal Haasan on Wednesday said he had not dropped plans to release his trilingual Vishwaroopam on the direct-to-home platform.
He was considering the advice of his industry peers to release it on the platform the day it would be released in theatres. However, he is yet to confirm the date.
Addressing a press conference at the Rajkamal Films office in the city here, the film-maker said he had postponed the release of the film as per his convenience and not because of arm-twisting by any section of the film industry that has been up in arms over the decision to premiere the movie on the DTH platform.
The film was originally planned to be released as a single special show on the DTH platform on January 10 and in theatres on January 11.
“I have not dropped the plans to release the movie on DTH,” he said in a telephonic conversation with The Hindu after the press conference. “I am still discussing with my DTH partners on how to take the reach of the movie further. There has been some confusion among consumers on how to order the movie. They can use this time to explain it better to the subscribers and get them enrolled.”
The film-maker, however, did not categorically announce the revised release date.
"There are plenty of considerations, because it is going to be a simultaneous release in Telugu and Hindi as well. There is also the overseas release to coordinate. I will make an authoritative announcement on the release of the film once everything is decided.”
Unfair trade practice
He also sounded a warning to theatre owners and distributors, who had opposed his move to release the movie on DTH, stating that denying him cinema halls to release the movie was an unfair trade practice using a position of dominance. “I am a businessman adhering to the laws of the land and exploring new avenues for business not just for myself but for the entire film industry,” he said. “My legal team will serve notices to some parties under provision of the Competition Act, 2002. There must be a level-playing field for all film-makers to do their business.”
The legal notice is to be served to 13 parties, but the film-maker refused to identify them.
“This is a misunderstanding and I may have to work with the same people in the future. I do not want to embarrass them.”
The actor, however, referred to the December 12 resolution passed by the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and the Federation of Tamil Nadu Distributors that reportedly decided not to lend support to any movie released on the DTH or any other platform.
Responding to a question on whether he was disappointed with the lack of support from the industry, Mr.Haasan replied in the affirmative.
He said he could understand actors not lending their voice in support as they may be worried about various factors but added that it was surprising that the rest of the industry was silent.

Why is Jaideep Ahlawat not visible in Vishwaroopam promos?
Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who will soon be seen in Kamal Haasan's bilingual Vishwaroopam, is unsure why his character is being kept under wraps in the promos.
"There are two negative characters in the film, Rahul Bose and me. One is like the thinking part and the other is the execution part. So, it's not that something has been kept hidden. I think sir (Kamal Haasan) is very interested in looks, we have a few different looks in the film. I don't know whether he has kept me hidden deliberately or not. He can tell that better," Jaideep told reporters at an event.
Produced and directed by Kamal Haasan, the film is made in two languages - Vishwaroop is the Hindi version, while Tamil one is called Vishwaroopam.
The film also stars Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Rahul Bose and Shekhar Kapur.
The Hindi version was to hit theatres on January 11 but due to the ongoing tussle with the theatre owners over the DTH release of the film on Jan 10, the theatre release date has been postponed and the new date is yet to be announced.
Ahlawat played Shahid Khan in Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur and asserts that his role was short, but tough.
"Shahid Khan was one of the difficult characters to play because in comparison to the length of the film, the character was small. I feel when the character is small, then it demands a lot of hard work," he said.
"Also, it had to be established with his family background as the character formed an important part and was discussed throughout in the film. So, on that part it was difficult, but I enjoyed playing that character," he added.

The Hindi version was to hit theatres on January 11 but due to the ongoing tussle with the theatre owners over the DTH release of the film on Jan 10, the theatre release date has been postponed and the new date is yet to be announced.
Ahlawat played Shahid Khan in Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur and asserts that his role was short, but tough.
"Shahid Khan was one of the difficult characters to play because in comparison to the length of the film, the character was small. I feel when the character is small, then it demands a lot of hard work," he said.
"Also, it had to be established with his family background as the character formed an important part and was discussed throughout in the film. So, on that part it was difficult, but I enjoyed playing that character," he added.

Why most Tamil films are unable to make it to the Rs. 100-crore club
CHENNAI, January 10, 2013
Sudhish Kamath
Kollywood gave the country its first Rs. 200-crore box-office hit, but that remains an exception
While the Hindi film industry continues to turn in hundreds of crores at the box office, not a single Tamil film has managed to do that kind of business in recent times.
A shame, because the first film in India to cross the Rs. 200-crore mark in terms of collections was from here.
Rajinikanth’s Enthiran broke all records by garnering Rs. 200 crore at the box office and even its Hindi-dubbed version made history.
As Hansraj Saxena, executive producer of the movie, formerly with Sun Pictures and now with his own banner Sax Pictures, says, “Robot (the Hindi version of Enthiran) fetched Rs. 18 crore for satellite rights, Rs. 46 crore through theatre release, Rs. 5.5 crore through home video and another 1.5 crore from audio rights alone. But here, when you sell satellite rights, you surrender your DVD rights too, because TV channels do not want the DVDs to be out in the market. Since none of them are in the home-video segment, DVDs of Tamil films never come out.”
And because DVDs do not release here officially, pirates thrive. As Gautham Vasudev Menon, producer and director of the recently-released Neethane En Ponvasantham said, “The first pirated DVD comes from abroad from the print given to foreign markets for DVD and home-video rights. If people knew they had access to legal DVDs within weeks, as is the case in Hindi cinema, they wouldn’t bother with pirated DVDs.”
As media expert Vanita Kohli Khandekar, author of Indian Media Business, says, “Pricing, timing and quality are the three gaps that pirates exploit. The moment you start breaking down the windows between the releases in theatre, home videos and TV, you plug the gaps and piracy dies.”
This is exactly what Kamal Haasan intends to do with Vishwaroopam. Get the film out on DTH so that people who do not want to go to theatres have an option to watch it at home. At the press conference on Wednesday, he said, “Entertainment delayed is entertainment denied. It is just like justice.”
Most films thrive in the business they make within the first three weeks of the theatre release, a rule that applies not just to the Tamil or Hindi film industries, but even to Hollywood. The actor-filmmaker, who is now in the eye of a storm over his plans to launch the movie on DTH, said this was the governing logic in attempting to release the movie at a premium price on the DTH platform.
The pricing has been a matter of some debate though. As an executive producer with a leading film-production company puts it, “It is good strategy gone wrong with bad pricing. I hope Kamal Haasan reconsiders the pricing because he wouldn’t want people to later say, ‘I told you so’.”
Compared to the Hindi film industry, the risks here are high. “It’s unfair to compare the business in Hindi with that in Tamil. Hindi film production is a low-risk business with high returns while Tamil film production is high-risk with low returns,” he says.
While a Dabanng 2 manages to release in 2,200 screens around the country, the maximum number of screens any film made here can hope to get is about 350, he says. Enthiran released in an unprecedented 425 screens across Tamil Nadu. Also, with the cap on ticket prices, the maximum price for a ticket in Tamil Nadu is Rs. 120 compared to the demand-based pricing that ranges from Rs. 150 to Rs. 350-plus in other States.
“Hindi films make crores because of the high number of screens multiplied by the high average ticket price in the first three days of demand. The demand is created by hype,” the producer says.
While films here spend a maximum of Rs. 5 crore on marketing and publicity (and a minimum of Rs. 50 lakh), Hindi films spend five times that amount to create hype that results in great weekend openings. TV channels are only willing to bomb their screens with promos and songs unlike the local film business where if one channel buys the rights of a film, the other channels boycott it.
According to sources, satellite rights of Dabanng 2 fetched over Rs. 40 crore while the original Dabanng remains the highest grosser for DTH in India at Rs. 2.5 crore. But while Dabanng was priced at less than Rs. 100, the Vishwaroopam premiere was priced at Rs. 1,200 (inclusive of taxes).
Yet, Dabanng 2 is able to generate revenues through satellite, DTH and home video apart from the conventional theatre markets, international included, to notch up Rs. 200 crore, while the unreasonable terms of trade offered by TV channels and exhibitors continue to plague the business here.
It may be recalled that while Pyramid Saimira tried to release Mozhi on home video within two weeks of its release, theatre owners arm-twisted the producer to put his plans on hold despite the fact that 10 lakh DVDs were already in production.
“It’s a lopsided economy with high risks. A hit by an popular star here, produced at Rs. 62.5 crore or Rs. 70 crore including interest, may yield a producer Rs. 10 crore as profit but for the same money invested, the Hindi film industry ensures a profit of at least Rs. 100 crore by tapping every available source of revenue.”

DTH is must. If not today , tomorrow it will happen.
My whole family circle and friends (at least 100) watched Thuppakki and Kumki in thiruttu VCD and nobody is there to stop that.
As a Producer Kamal has all his rights to get back his money invested with multiple channels.
Legally theatres can oppose VR by releasing someother films on same day. But what they fail ito do is Theater maintenance which prevents people to visit theatre.
After 7 years I went to watch Sivaji-3d in my home town (Kasi-Kumbakonam) and the theatre was in such a worst status, not even a single improvement in 7 years expect price hike.

Kamal Haasan has decided to release his movie Viswaroopam in theatres first.
The movie will be released on January 25 in theatres. The release date for DTH will be announced later.
According to Haasan's PRO Nikhil, the movie will be released on theatres first. The actor-cum-producer had earlier said the movie would be released on DTH on January 10th followed by a theatre release on January 11th. This decision was objected by the theatre owners.
On Wednesday, Kamal had said the release date will be announced later, adding that the film would be released on DTH and theatres on the same day.

Kamal should have express his regret for not fulfilling his promise to DTH on 10th . And even now he is not talking clearly on what he has done for those who booked . He should have regretted for the inconvinience caused to who booked DTH . Otherwise loose credibility among general audience . Bad

It is evident that he will sit with DTH operators and hear their view on this and announce the date in a day or two ... He clearly said, he is considering simulttanneous release on DTH as an option.. he hasnt ruled out DTH release before the theatrical release... So, DTH release on the same day might be the final say after talking to DTH operators. DTH release after the movie release is not even an option he is thinking.
This delay will benefit and reach more public in my opinion.

Do not have the strength to speculate furthur.
As Kamal has said,he is the final word on the movie and NOBODY else has the right to talk.
Based on that,Jan 25th theatrical release,he is debating whether he should go in for DTH on the same day or 1 day prior.
The question of deferred telecast/cancellation does not arise at all.
Why he has not spoken on the date is because,unlike the theatrical release which has been sorted out(by convincing/legal threat etc etc etc),he cannot take a individual decision on the DTH thing.
Will have to be discussed with the operators and modalities worked out.
A release on that too will follow.
However,I agree that he should have thanked all DTH subscribers/people who booked at theatres and requested them to bear with him.It would have gone a long way in enhancing his credibility though everyone is aware that circumstances have forced him to postpone.
An ad in all major newspapers pan India will help.

After the theatrical release ,he can not release in the dth since Jaya tv owns the tv screens right. If he decides to telecast first he as to cancel the rights given to Jaya tv (if the contract as a clause allowing it) or he as to get permission from Jaya tv. So KH is not completely out of the woods yet. Hope he solves this problem.

But at some point, I think during some interview, Kamal and Khalid had a major difference of opinion, or misunderstanding - Khalid apparently took it personally and went out with all guns blazing when "Hey Ram" was released - so the tiff originated during the making of "Hey Ram" in some interview session.
note: the same Khalid gave glowing reviews of "Chachi 420", "Pushpak" etc which were Kamal's outings in Hindi/nationwide before "Hey Ram" !
Khalid might have left TOI, but his legacy is being pursued, since I believe he has a stronghold in TOI and media circles.
Mumbai's MID-DAY or any of the Marathi newspapers give much more objective reviews of most films without resorting to personalised / biased attacks!

Why Jaya tv has to screw? this is not TV telecast rite.. it will be considered as PPV like earlier.. as he says.. it's his product.. even if he foresees problem, then he can drop out of the contract with Jaya tv as there is lot of time now..
Or either, he can release 24th at 9 pm in DTH and also release on theatres at 9 pm on 24th itself like western world's midnight screenings to give fare share to everyone...

He has clearly said that he has not given up on DTH. He is just working out the date for DTH which likely he will announce in a day or so. so, why so much confusion (and speculation) ????

Agree on all the points. Credibility is already damaged. But just one thing. If the movie turns out to be a huge hit and earns 150 or 200 crore plus, and if the box office success is publicized well, makkal + media will care a damn about what happened before release. Thadaigalai meeri vetri petra padam' ngra tag thaan irukkum. Thats what Kamal badly needs now and I hope it will happen. Originally Posted by geno

Release date for DTH - Feb 2nd
reason for postponment - need more time to advertise , revisit pricing
initial bookings - very low - hence the second round

can anyone clarify the following:
1. if Kamal had gone ahead originally with only theatrical release and NOT DTH, how many theatres would he have gotten for VR ? some rough estimate ?
2. if the no - 450 or so - quoted now, is more than what he would have gotten, was this whole DTH thingy a ruse to eventually get as many theatre screenings as possible ?
3.whats the point in releasing VR through DTH a good one week after the theatrical release ? who is gaining ? will that in anyway impact the film's actual overall collections ?

Enthiran released in 450 screens 2-3 years ago. So, it may not be inconceivable to aim for that. They could've aimed for that number for a release this weekend if they had gone ahead of StudioGreen. More importantly they could have had 1000+ screens in NI.

Exhibitors win the fight for Vishwaroopam
http://business-standard.com/india/n...roopam/498503/
In a new twist to the high drama surrounding Kamal Haasan’s new film, Vishwaroopam, the actor-director has postponed the release of the film to January 25. Curiously, the film will now be released in theatres first. According to the original plan, the film was supposed to have been released on the direct-to-home platform on Thursday and in theatres on Friday.
“On January 25, the movie will be released across 500 theatres in the state,” Haasan said in a statement, which had no reference to the DTH release. Haasan’s public relations officer said that the release would be first on theatres, but refused to comment further.
Ever since Haasan announced his plans to release the film on the DTH first, theatre owners and their association have been putting pressure on the actor, who is also the producer of the film, to reverse his decision as they felt it would affect their business.
While the actor has now decided to release the movie in theatres, the DTH players, who had signed to broadcast the movie ahead of its theatre release and had been promoting the premier heavily on their channels, are left clueless.
When contacted, executives of two DTH companies said that they are not aware of if the movie would be offered on DTH at all. “We spent money on promoting the film, but the mail we got from him (Haasan) today doesn’t say if we will be showing the movie. If we don’t get to show it before multiplexes, what’s the point of showing it at all? There will not be any royalty attached to it and the pricing will not be justified,” said an executive.
Another executive said his company has already started returning the money to some of the subscribers who had booked the screening.
Six DTH players – Dish TV, Airtel Digital TV, Tata Sky, Videocon d2h, Reliance Digital TV and Sun Direct – had signed with Haasan’s production company Rajkamal Films to premiere the movie on January 10. Earlier, it was announced that a subscriber has to pay Rs 1,000 for one show in Tamil, and Rs 500 for Hindi and Telugu. The date of the Telugu premiere was not announced.
Incidentally, today’s development comes after Haasan had held discussions with theatre owners on Wednesday late in the evening.
On Wednesday, Haasan had said in a press meet that the movie was his ‘product’ and he alone could decide what he wanted to do with it. He also said that the movie would be released on the same day in DTH and theatres, although he did not disclose the release date. Yesterday’s decision, he said, was taken after listening to his friends’ and well wishers’ advice and also taking into consideration the availability of theatres in both the south and north India.
According to Haasan, DTH is a new revenue stream and the film industry should be open minded about it. Yesterday, he had also said that he would “not let down” his DTH business partners. He had also stated that he would be sending a legal notice to 13 people, including theatre owners who had threatened him against releasing the movie on DTH and who said the movie will be pirated.
The actor was under a lot of pressure from the exhibitors and theatre owners in Tamil Nadu ever since he announced that the movie would be released on DTH first.

The DTH providers may intentionally tell wrong (low) figures of DTH booking to humiliate.
All the excitement and proud of listening to the press meet speech is gone.
Hope all what we are hearing is speculation only. Kamal will come out as the winner.

The trend so far shows that DTH is not a very huge revenue model as it is the first time.
Let him go ahead with DTH announincg there is NO release in theaters.
After the DTH premiere : (1) the mouth pubilicty will be huge (2) theaters will relaize that there is still a huge potential and will approach Kamal.
It is a negotiation. When you bend the other party takes advantage.

KH might have been a bit overconfident on the sales front but I don't think he is naive without much business sense. The key now is to secure a large number of theatres which is what he is doing. Hopefully, PVR also comes around.
DTH is just a sideshow and a secondary revenue source. It will fetch its due, whether it is first day or a week later.

But the phrase mentioned in the Business Standard(and ThatsTamil) articles "abyssmally low DTH bookings" are the ones which spread like forest fire among KH haters and common public. Kamal overestimated his populartity/If he wanted more viewers, he should have asked 'the other star' to do a cameo-'ngra maadhiri pesikkaraanga. Originally Posted by NOV

In such a scenario, DTH release is not going to help at all, and is not big enough to be considered as a secondary source of revenue. After all this negative talk going around, how is he still so confident that people will subscribe again to watch this movie? IMO, he can announce in the next press meet that DTH is not going to happen and add 100+ more theatres and make it a bigger release. Both KH and his fans will be saved only if Vishwaroopam joins the 150cr club.
By the way, the ads in Newspapers still contain the same old theatres list - Pilot, Ganapathyram. PVR issues are not resolved yet?

From: Lat Sar on 11th January 2013 10:07 AM [Full View]
One of the main reasons for low dth booking (if its true) is because of power cuts in T.N. and out of the 6 players ,Reliance and Tata sky joined in quite late .To say that KH fan base is less is totally wrong. Originally Posted by hattori_hanzo

Feb 2 is not that bad. initially, distributors and TNTOA were talking about DTH release only after 5 months. Now it seems they are ok with 7 days. Pls understand, this is a new initiative and an expensive one too. For a culture that feels entitled to freebies, Rs 1000 is a lot of money compared to Rs 30 DVD. Add to it the fear psychosis created by vested interests about power cuts and disruption due to rain, free briyani and water packet along with the show in a local restaurant, late joining of reliance,tatasky and SUN.
A revenue stream has been identified allow it grow and mature. thalaivar may be bad in business but he was not greedy because he did not sell the theatrical rights to anyone. forgetting to apologise to DTH fans explicity is a genuine mistake but that was not due to devil may care attitude, it could also be because of he would have felt it would be better if DTH operators themselves talked about because it is their business and he cannot talk for them just like TNTOA cannot talk for Kamal.
DTH premiere may have stumbled in the first attempt but is only a business venture. Why take it so personally and say loss of face/ credibility etc. He has not cheated anyone.He has not runaway.
When process driven companies like Toyota,Honda,Ford can recall cars, why can't thalaivar cancel /recall / Reschedule DTH premiere which has not been tested at all anywhere before?

Kamal has invested not just money but also a large amount of time and energy on getting this done and his efforts have to pay off. Credibilitylan vidunga.

Distributors and TNTOA gift Kamal
Jan 11, 2013
Kamal Haasan met with the Producers Council, Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association members and the distributors earlier this evening. Following their discussion Kamal proceeded to brief the press on their coming together.
Kamal said that the decisions he had taken were all influenced by the love and affection shown by everyone involved. He said that it was people like the TNTOA and distributors who have supported him right from a young age, and they only wished for his continuing success.
The interested parties gifted Kamal with a gold ring and vowed that they will make Vishwaroopam his biggest success till date. On the topic of DTH, Kamal requested that he needed about 3-4 days to weigh his options and come to a conclusion.
A candid Kamal said that he hadn’t slept for the last 3 days and took leave from the press meet saying that he was going to catch up on some much needed sleep.

DTH premiere of Vishwaroopam before theatre release ruled out
Actor-Director Kamal Haasan today virtually ruled out the premiere of his film 'Vishwaroopam' on Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform ahead of its release in theatres, admitting a 'change of mind' on proceeding with his controversial decision which had met with stiff resistance from a section of theatre owners.
"I have changed my mind on having the premiere (on DTH platform ahead of releasing it in theatres). I will discuss (with DTH partners) on how close or far to release date (will be a DTH show)," he told reporters here.
He said he had taken into account suggestions from many to consider the 'good health' of Tamil cinema industry before going ahead with his decision.
"Many had requested me to take into consideration the good health of the industry and proceed with DTH. It is my primary duty to make it happen," he said after consulting with exhibitors and theatre owners here.
He said talks were on with DTH players on the issue, details of which he declined to divulge. "They have been kind with me. Will say later when the film will come on DTH," he said.
Haasan said the film will be released in Tamil and Telugu on January 25 as announced earlier but only talks would determine when it would be released in Hindi.
The tech-savvy actor-filmmaker's decision to have a premiere of his much anticipated trilingual action flick on DTH caused ripples in the multi-million rupee Tamil cinema industry, with a section of theatre owners deciding to boycott the film.

Chennai, Jan 11 (PTI) Actor-Director Kamal Haasan today virtually ruled out the premiere of his film 'Vishwaroopam' on Direct-to-Home (DTH) platform ahead of its release in theatres, admitting a 'change of mind' on proceeding with his controversial decision which had met with stiff resistance from a section of theatre owners.
"I have changed my mind on having the premiere (on DTH platform ahead of releasing it in theatres).

Wish Kamal would be screening Viswaroopam in DTH. Let him take his own time to decide when. But screening in DTH is important than later announcing DTH plan totally dropped.

He gives a platform to others to critisize him badly on his DTH-Theaters matter. People say just because he did not get enough rate and theaters initialy from the distributors side, he went to look for DTH and just the moment he sees Theatert association agrees to his point of view, he is stepping back from DTH. He has to clear the smokes.

From what I infer DTH premiere is dropped, meaning it won't happen one day before - ie NOT before theatre screening.

கமலை மிரட்டிய 13 பேர்! From Latest JV....
எம்.ஜி.ஆர். தோளில் தூங்கினார்... சிவாஜி மடியில் வளர்ந்தார்... கலைத் தாயின் தவப்புதல்வன்... உலக நாயகன்... என்றெல்லாம் புகழாரம் சூடப்பட்டக் கமலுக்கு, விஸ்வரூபம் இவ்வளவு தலைவலியைக் கொடுக்கும் என அவரே நினைக்கவில்லை! 'விஸ்வரூபம்’ படத்தை டி.டி.ஹெச்-ல் ஒளி பரப்பப் போவதாக கமல் அறிவித்த நாளில் இருந்தே பிரச்னைகளும் ஆரம்பமாகின. தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் கமலை எதிர்த்து அறிக்கை விட்டது, போலீஸ் கமிஷனரைச் சந்தித்தது என அடுத்தடுத்தப் பிரச்னைகளுக்கு இடையில்... கடந்த 9-ம் தேதி திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கத்தின் பொறுப்பாளர்களை அழைத்துப் பேசினார் கமல். அந்த சந்திப்புக்குப் பிறகு திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கத்தின் பொதுச் செயலாளர் பன்னீர்செல்வம், '' 'விஸ்வரூபம்’ படம் முதலில் தியேட்டரில் ரிலீஸ். அதன்பிறகுதான் டி.டி.ஹெச். ஒளிபரப்பு'' என்று தீர்மானமாக அறி வித்தார். மறுநாள் பத்திரிகையாளர்களைச் சந்தித்த கமல், ''என் அங்காடியில் எனது பொருளை விற்கிறேன். விருப்பப்பட்டவர்கள் வாங்கிச் செல்லுங்கள். குறைந்த விலைக்குக் கொடுங்கள் என்று பேரம் பேசாதீர்கள். என் ரசிகர்களைக் கட்டுப்படுத்தி வைத்து இருக்கிறேன். இனி அவர்கள் அமைதியாக இருப்பது என் கையில் இல்லை. என் எதி ராளிகளின் நடவடிக்கையில் இருக்கிறது. 'விஸ்வரூபம்’ படத்துக்கு எதிராக மிரட்டல் விடுத்த 13 பேரின் பட்டியல் என்னிடம் இருக்கிறது. அவர்களின் பெயர்களைச் சொல்ல மாட்டேன்'' என்று பதிலடி கொடுத்தார். என்ன நடந்தது? கோடம்பாக்கம் வட்டாரத்தில் விசாரித்தோம்.
''வெளியூர் தியேட்டர்காரர்கள் பலருக்கும் பொங்கல் தினத்தில் 'விஸ்வரூபம்’ படத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்ய ஆசை. அவர்களைத் தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் சங்கத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களும், விநியோகஸ்தர் சங்கத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவர்களும் படத்தை வாங்கக் கூடாது என மிரட்டி இருக்கிறார்கள். சென்னை சாந்தி தியேட்டரில் படத்தைத் திரையிடக் கூடாது என்றும் மிரட்டல் வந்திருக்கிறது.
சிவாஜியின் மாப்பிள்ளையான வேணுகோபால், 'கமல் சின்ன வயசுல இருந்து எங்க வீட்டுல வளர்ந்தவர். எங்க மாமாவுக்கும் கமல்னா உயிர். அவரோட படத்தை வெளியிடக் கூடாதுனு சொல்ற அதிகாரம் யாருக்கும் இல்லை. என்ன ஆக்ஷன் வேண்டுமானாலும் எடுக்கட்டும். நாங்க படத்தை ரிலீஸ் செய்வோம்’னு கோபமாகச் சொல்லிட்டார். மிரட்டப்பட்ட தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் பலரும் கமலிடம் புலம்பி இருக்கிறார்கள். அவர்களின் வாக்குமூலத்தைப் பதிவு செய்த கமல், மிரட்டிய 13 பேருக்கும் நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்ப முடிவெடுத்து இருக்கிறார்.
'தனிப்பட்ட தியேட்டர் அதிபர்களை மிரட்டும் அதிகாரம் யாருக்கும் இல்லை. அத்துமீறி மிரட்டியவர்கள் மீது நடவடிக்கை எடுப்பதோடு, அவர்களின் திரையரங்க உரிமத்தையும் ரத்து செய்யும் அதிகாரம் உண்டு’ என்று சட்ட ஆலோசகர்கள் சொல்லி இருக்கிறார்கள். அதன்பிறகே, ஆக்ஷனில் இறங்கி இருக்கிறார் கமல்.
இந்த விஷயம், சம்பந்தப்பட்டவர்களின் காதுக்குப் போனதும், பதறியடித்தபடி கமலின் அலுவலகத்துக்குப் போனார்களாம். 'நீங்கள் எது செய்தாலும் அது சரியாகத்தான் இருக்கும். நாங்கள் எப்போதும் உங்கள் பின்னால் நிற்போம்’ என்று சரண்டராகி இருக்கிறார்கள். ஆனால் கமல் அவர்களிடம் எந்த பதிலும் சொல்லவில்லையாம். அதன்பிறகே, 'விஸ்வரூபம் 25-ம் தேதி 500 தியேட்டரில் ரிலீஸ்’ என்று கமல் அறிவித்தார்'' என்கிறார்கள்.
கமலுடன் பேச்சுவார்த்தையில் கலந்துகொண்ட தமிழ்த் தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் சங்கத்தின் முன்னாள் தலைவர் கேயாரிடம் பேசினோம். ''தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள் அமைப்பாலும், சில விநியோகஸ்தர்களாலும் ஆரம்பத்தில் குழப்பங்கள் உண்டாகின. இப்போது எல்லாப் பிரச்னைகளும் சுமுகமாக முடிந்து இருக்கிறது. 25-ம் தேதி தியேட்டரில் ரிலீஸ் ஆகும் அன்று இரவு டி.டி.ஹெச்-சிலும் ஒளிபரப்பும் திட்டத்தில் கமல் இருக்கிறார். இதனால் யாருக்கும் எந்தப் பாதிப்பும் ஏற்படாது. 'தசாவதாரம்’ வசூலை 'விஸ்வரூபம்’ முறியடிக்கும் என்பதில் எங்களுக்குச் சந்தேகம் இல்லை'' என்று உறுதியாகச் சொன்னார். பார்க்கலாம்!

From today's dinamalar விஸ்வரூபம் வெளியீட்டில் தடுமாறுகிறார் கமல் 11
கமல் நடித்த விஸ்வரூபம் வெளியீட்டில் தொடர்ந்து குழப்பம் நிலவி வருகிறது. தொடர்ந்த கமல் தடுமாறி வருகிறார். டிடிஎச்சில் முதலிலும், பின்னர் தியேட்டரிலும் வெளியிடப்படும் என்ற உறுதியான நிலைப்பாட்டை கொண்டிருந்த கமல் அதன் பிறகு இரண்டையும் ஒரே நாளில் வெளியிட இருப்பதாக சொன்னார். இதற்கு தியேட்டர், டிடிஎச் இரண்டு தரப்பிலுமே பலத்த எதிர்ப்பு கிளம்ப இப்போது 25ந் தேதி தியேட்டரில் வெளியிடப்படும் என்ற அறிவித்தார். டிடிஎச்சில் வெளியிடுவது பற்றி எந்த அறிவிப்பையும் வெளியிடவில்லை. முதலில் இந்தியா முழுவதும் ஒரே நாளில் திரையிடப்படும் என்று அறிவித்தவர் இப்போது தெலுங்கு, தமிழில் மட்டும் என்று அறிவித்திருக்கிறார். தியேட்டரில் வெளியிடப்படும் தேதியை அவர் அறிவித்து விட்டதால் டிடிஎச் நிறுவனங்கள் அதிருப்தி அடைந்துள்ளன. முதலில் தியேட்டரில் வெளியிட்டால் நாங்கள் வாடிக்கையாளர்களுக்கு கொடுத்த வாக்குறுதி தவிடுபொடியாகி விடும். அவர்களுக்கு பணத்தை திருப்பித் தரவேண்டியது இருக்கும். எங்கள் பெயருக்கும் களங்கம் வரும். இதற்காக நாங்கள் நீதிமன்றம் செல்லவும் தயங்க மாட்டோம் என்று ராஜ்கமல் பிலிம்ஸ்சுக்கு நோட்டீஸ் அனுப்பி விட்டார்கள்.
இந்த நிலையில் இன்று தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள், மற்றும் விநியோகஸ்தர்களின் கூட்டுக்கூட்டம் சேம்பரில் நடந்தது. இதில் "கமல் முதலில் விஸ்வரூபத்தை தியேட்டரில் வெளியிட்டால் அவருக்கு 500 தியேட்டர்கள் கொடுத்து அவர் படம் ஓடும்வரை வேறு படங்களை திரையிடாமல் அவர் முதலீடு செய்த 100 கோடியை வசூலித்து கொடுத்து விடுவது" என்று பேசி முடிவு செய்திருக்கிறார்கள். இதைக் கேட்டு சந்தோஷப்பட்ட கமல் அந்த கூட்டத்திற்கு வந்து தனது நன்றியை தெரிவித்தார். தியேட்டர் அதிபர்கள் சங்கமும், விநியோகஸ்தர்கள் சங்கமும் கமலுக்கு மோதிரம் அணிவித்து மகிழ்ந்தது. இந்த கூட்டத்திற்கு பிறகு நிருபர்களிடம் கமல் பேசியதாவது:
"வருகிற 25ந் தேதி தமிழ்நாட்டில் 500 தியேட்டர்களில் விஸ்வரூபம் வெளியாகிறது. டிடிஎச்சில் ஒளிபரப்புவது குறித்து அந்த பங்காளிகளுடன் பேசி அறிவிப்பேன். இவர்கள் எனது உறவினர்கள். என் மீது நிறைய அன்பு வைத்திருக்கிறார்கள். நான்தான் அம்பு என்று கருதிவிட்டேன். எனது எல்லா கடனையும் தீர்ப்பதற்காகத்தான் இந்தப் படத்தை எடுத்தேன். ரசிகர்களுக்கும், மக்களுக்கும் பட்ட கடனைத் தவிர மற்ற கடன்களை அடைத்துவிடுவேன். எல்லா பிரச்சினைகளில் இருந்தும, சோர்விலிருந்தும் வெளிவந்து விடுவேன்" என்று செண்டிமெண்டாக பேசினார். டிடிஎச் குறித்து நிருபர்கள் கேட்ட சரமாரி கேள்விக்கு அதுபற்றி பின்னர் சொல்கிறேன். விரைவில் நல்ல செய்தி வரும் என்று மட்டும் சொன்னர்.
தியேட்டர்காரர்கள் மீது நம்பிக்கை வந்தவிட்ட நிலையில் டிடிஎச் நிறுவனங்களை எப்படி சமாதானப்படுத்துவது என்று கமல் திணறி வருகிறார். அதனால் 25ந் தேதி ரிலீஸ் என்பதும் உறுதியானதல்ல. அதிலும் மாற்றம் வரலாம் என்கிறார்கள்.

Is the big screen enough?
January 12, 2013
Sudhish Kamath
As Kamal Haasan sticks to a conventional theatrical premiere of Vishwaroopam instead of DTH, industry insiders open up on why the market is not ready for change. sudhish kamath reports
When Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam releases in theatres on January 25, it begins a journey in recovering its budget of Rs. 95 crore. One of those rare cases where hitting 100 crore is only halfway to recovery. Yes, the film needs to collect Rs. 180 crore to break even, with only satellite and international rights for a cushion, now that the DTH release date of the film and the pricing is still undecided.
Thanks to the entertainment tax of 30 per cent in the cities, out of Rs.120 per ticket, the producers will make Rs. 40 in the city after the distributor/exhibitor share. The makers would make a little more in towns and villages since the entertainment tax is lower (20 per cent) and their share is higher (60-70 per cent).
To break down the math, Vishwaroopam needs to sell over 3 crore movie tickets if the film were to depend on theatrical revenue alone, thanks to government regulation of ticket prices, cap on number of shows and the high entertainment tax.
“You want to hit full capacity during the first four days and also price the ticket according to demand but you don’t have that option,” says a distributor.
Also, with Vishwaroopam getting a U/A certificate, the producers are not eligible for exemption provided only to U-rated films that protect and preserve Tamil culture (see below for more on the government policy).
“An exclusive theatrical window remains the most viable option for filmmakers around the world to recover costs,” the distributor observes.
“Just because technology gives you an option does not mean it’s necessarily good for business. DTH has existed for years in the U.S. and if it made business sense, it would have eventually happened.”
Admitting it may be a good thing for the customer who is provided with the choice to watch it at the theatre or at home, the DTH premiere may not make business sense for the producer, he says. “The sum of the parts will be less than doing it in a staggered manner. The industry has settled on a model that’s tried and tested... Theatrical release is a great launch platform for revenue to be earned from other avenues. When you go straight to TV, the excitement of a release is not there. But this case has made the industry see that there is an opportunity to monetise the film through DTH which was earlier sold along with satellite rights,” the insider believes.
“The truth is not black or white. The exhibitors and distributors also have some valid points,” says Shakthi Girish, editor of Galatta. “I laud Mr. Kamal Haasan’s efforts to revolutionise the business but his team of advisors should have given him a clearer picture about the potential of DTH in the current scenario. Perhaps, another release and pricing strategy that was acceptable to all parties involved could have avoided the controversy. That said, it’s imperative that we explore and adapt to changing distribution models for further profitability of the industry and reduce piracy.”
Despite the possibility of tracking the fingerprint on DTH to the address of the pirate, many theatre owners are not convinced.
“This is an immature market where piracy thrives and people expect everything for free, especially if it’s on TV. We are not ready to deal with DTH,” opines a trade analyst.
“The DTH premiere is now a lost opportunity,” says S. Sashikanth, producer of Y Not Studios. “Now we will never find out what could have happened. It could have really opened up the doors for small films. This case study has only revealed that the market is not ready for change.”
Is State playing villain?
Producers for long have been lamenting against government policy on restriction of ticket prices, number of daily shows and entertainment tax.
"Let the government take the tax, but allow theatres to decide on ticket prices according to the demand, like it is done in other States. Let people decide if they want to spend or not spend. That's democracy," says an executive of a popular film production company, who alleges that this process of applying for entertainment tax had led to many corrupt trade practices.
One, producers were resorting to bribing officials to get a 15 per cent entertainment tax exemption provided by the government for U films with Tamil titles. "Over a 150 films got entertainment tax exemption last year. All, except one, that applied got exempted. Do you need this process to reject just one film?" The only film to have been refused tax exemption was Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (OKOK) starring Udayanidhi Stalin, produced by his banner Red Giant Movies.
Two, to bypass regulations of fixed number of shows and cap on ticket pricing, theatre owners outside the city were bribing authorities to be able to sell tickets priced above the government enforced cap and for getting away with illegal special shows, the producer claims.
Three, the scourge of under-declaration. "To cheat on entertainment tax, many theatre owners under-declare occupancy. If they sell 800 tickets, they declare only 600. How can anyone prove this? Why doesn't the government reduce bureaucracy and grant entertainment tax exemption for all U films with Tamil titles instead of making producers organise for another screening," he asks.
A trade analyst says that it is high time the business was freed from political interference from the State.
"Both political parties are equally responsible for this practice over the years. Governments should have no business poking its nose into the film business,” says the journalist.
And there’s the longstanding, losing battle against piracy.
The State's inability to keep piracy in check has led to a fear psychosis among producers who are quick to resist change. Resistance leads to bans. And controversies.

Film to release in theatres on Jan. 25; talks on with digital operators
Vishwaroopam’s DTH date on hold
CHENNAI, January 12, 2013
Karthik Subramanian
http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/...cle4299243.ece
Movie buffs will have to wait longer to catch Kamal Haasan’s latest, Vishwaroopam, in theatres or at home.
The film, which will release on the big screen on January 25, will premiere on TV via the direct-to-home (DTH) platform at a later date.
The national award-winning actor and filmmaker on Friday said he had dropped plans to premiere the film on DTH platform after taking into consideration the advice of his industry peers and also keeping in mind the ‘good health of the industry’.
“It will definitely release on the DTH platform but some time after the theatre release. I am working with my DTH partners on the exact dates and will announce that when we have decided,” he said on Friday.
Addressing the media after meeting members of the Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and Tamil Nadu Exhibitors Association at the film chamber in the city here, the actor thanked the associations for helping him release the movie’s Tamil version in over 500 screens in the State.
He said it was important for every stakeholder to understand DTH’s part in the future vision for the industry.
The association members thanked the actor for allaying their fears on the new technology and also for being considerable to their demands. They presented him with a gold ring ahead of the press briefing. The distributors’ association also held discussions with him.
Mr. Haasan had originally planned to release the movie on the DTH platform on January 10, a day ahead of its then-proposed theatre release. Subsequently, both releases were postponed as a controversy erupted over the novel move.
The theatre release was delayed because of misunderstanding over the move and parleys between various parties.
R. Paneerselvam, secretary, Tamil Nadu Film Theatre Owners’ Association, said they would soon be initiating talks with the Producers’ Council to enter into an agreement wherein any new theatre release would wait at least eight weeks before it came on other platforms like DTH.
“The arrangement being worked out now with Kamal Haasan is an exception,” he said.
A statement from the CEO of Airtel (DTH), Shashi Arora, said Airtel Digital TV had credited back the booking amount paid by subscribers for the intended DTH premiere of Vishwaroopam.
The company is now waiting for Mr. Haasan’s production house, Rajkamal Films, to communicate the date when it would release the movie on video-on-demand on DTH.

Veteran actor Kamal Haasan has moved fair trade regulator Competition Commission against some theatre associations for allegedly restricting the release of his film Vishwaroopam.
This is the second instance in less than three months after Ajay Devgn that an eminent film personality has lodged a complaint with the Competition Commission of India.
"We have received a complaint from Kamal Haasan (related to Vishwaroopam)," a senior CCI official said.
The complaint, filed this week, is against some theatre associations for allegedly restricting the release of the film, the official said.
Actor-director Haasan's production house Rajkamal Films International has moved the fair trade regulator.
"We are likely to take a call on the issue next week," the CCI official said.
A spokesperson for Kamal Haasan did not immediately respond to queries seeking comments on the issue.
Rajkamal Films had scheduled the release of the film first on DTH platform on January 10. In the wake of vehement opposition from various theatre associations, the DTH release was shelved and the movie would now hit the theatres first on January 25 in 500 screens across Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu Theatre Owners Association and Madurai-based Ramanathapuram United Film Distributors had threatened not to release it in theatres.
CCI looks into anti-competitive practices across sectors and the Tamil actor is believed to have complained against theatre associations forming a kind of cartel to restrict release of the film.

Here's the letter that was sent out to the media from The South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce:
Dear Sir,
The undersigned had several discussions with the production sector of the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce which fully realized the potential of the massive DTH platform and are in unison keen to support Mr Kamal Haasan's vision.
As requested by the exhibitors and distributors of Tamil Nadu, Mr Kamal Haasan has promised to safeguard and create a level playground for the motion picture industry while welcoming and including the DTH platforms into the folds of the motion picture industry.
A meeting of the Tamil Nadu Distributors and Exhibitors association was convened on the 11th of January 2013 at the South Indian Film Chamber of Commerce building to discuss the above matter. Regarding Mr Kamal Haasan's motion picture Viswaroopam produced by his company Rajkamal Films International, there was an amicable settlement between the Distributors and Exhibitors association of Tamil Nadu and Mr Kamal Haasan.
Both have resolved to release Viswaroopam on the 25th January 2013 at maximum number of screens in Tamil Nadu.
In view of this historic and amicable settlement SIFCC requests the entire South Indian exhibitors and distributors associations to kindly co-operate and release Viswaroopam in a maximum number of theatres without any hassle on the 25th January 2013.

This PVR guy is totally against DTH release. Initially he accepted that he will release Hindi and Telugu versions of VR in all his chain of theaters if KH does not release Hindi and Telugu versions in DTH. Later he changed his view and told Kamal that even if DTH screening happens for Tamil version, he will not release Hindi and telugu versions as well. In fact because of this PVR and Cinemax chain, Kamal lost approx 400 to 500 screens. Originally Posted by Nasc

Seems to be a good deal for dth companies ,hopefully they support him. Even satellites were releasing 3 to 4 months after the theatrical release . If the price is fixed competitively then it should be a new avenue for revenue not only for the producers but also the dth companies plus good publicity for their platforms. Now that KH as done all the hard work the shameless film fraternity will gain nicely from this .

A Feb 2nd DTH release looks good. People who just cannot afford to go a theatre nowadays can book their slots on TV and since it's at a reduced price, the number of people going for it might also increase. Thankfully the DTH plans were never scrapped. Kamal's credibility would have been in question and all of his efforts would have been in vain.

Kamal the creator, if he speaks outside his movies, would now know that he faces some tough questions.

Plus, these days, Hindi films release with max prints and collect 100C before they even complete a week. So with that, the screens for their movie will be reduced to a minimal.
Not to mention that even with combined total of the DTH collection & regional versions, we still stand tall. My only question is, is it releasing in Hindi on the 25th (as per the North distributor's words) or Feb 1st (as per Kamal's letter/Rahul Bose's tweet.)

Kamal Haasan's VISHWAROOP to release on DTH on 2nd February
January 14, 2013 05:31:45 PM IST
Kamal Haasan was quite struggling with the release date of his upcoming film VISHWAROOP, which was postponed lately. The actor-filmmaker then, putting all the rumours to rest, even officially made the announcement of VISHWAROOP's release date as 25 January 2013.
While on DTH front he just mentioned that the film will also be released via this mode and didn't say anything about the exact date.
However, now Balaji Films, who is backing the release of Kamal Haasan's dearly made film, has officially issued a statement on Kamal Haasan's VISHWAROOP DTH release. The DTH release would be just after a week i.e. 2nd February 2013 after it hits the screens.
''The single DTH screening of VISHWAROOP (Hindi) would be on 2nd February 2013,'' reads the statement released by Balaji Films Distribution head, Girish Johar.
The film was scheduled to first premiere on Direct-To-Home (DTH) platform on January 10, but got cancelled following the stiff protests by theatre owners.
Looks like Kamal Haasan's VISHWAROOP has been now able to strike a balance!

I am feeling a bit bummed that Kamal can't have his way. But given the reports of how he allegedly has his last shirt invested in this (and given my continued belief that this film is far from his 'best foot forward'), at this stage it is important he stays afloat so he can make the kind of movies he wants in the years to come.

Kamal - is probably our only hope to lead the way and what does he get for all his best-intended efforts ?
Kamal's best foot forward in the last 2 decades, HEY RAM was a horrible letdown at the BO - do you really / seriously think he can afford 'his best feet' fwd all the time ?

otherwise, I dont see a lot of hope for TN cinema - we will continue to end up having to digest totally stupid fare - we dont even encourage indie film makers come out with interesting fare (idhuleyam, Kamal is a munnodi - when Mysskin came out with 'nandalala', Kamal was the only guy in the entire industry, who not only accepted Mysskin's request to watch the film - he appreciated the film and encouraged Mysskin! i dont recall anyone else in the industry doing anything even remotely close) - such is the prevailing culture.
Hindi cinemava oru kaalathula kurai sollikkittirundhom - avainga sudhaarichhu, ippa, anurag kashyap, vishal bharadwaj nu pottu thaakkuraainga - they may not be producing a classic every film they make, but compare their films with the totally inane, melodramas from bollywood in the 1990s - a huge difference in terms of treatment etc.
crude analogy - just because Sachin is failing to produce a 100 every second innings he plays, he cannot be blamed for not 'bringing his best foot' forward - IMO he ought to have continued to play the one-dayers.

I am not 'wishing' VR failure because I anticipate it to only be a Dasa. I usually don't care one way or the other about the commercial faring of films.
I was merely reacting to geno's post saying Kamal should brave financial suicide and stand for his 'principles'. I think he should cut his losses and ensure he hangs in there so he can continue to make the films we all long for, in the years to come.
This is not a Hey Ram for him to dare financial ruin and wear it as a badge of honour 'ngREn.

irir, I think there is still a misunderstanding.
I was only reacting to the statement that Kamal should stand by his chest-thumping for VR even if it means financial ruin. I disagree with that.
I take these as intermediate stops to the good films he eventually wants to make. Nothing more. So he should make the most out of it and move on.
venkki, I will let those who follow the numbers answer that, but VirumANdi did make a nice packet. Others may have made more - but I don't see how that is relevant. We are talking about fearing financial inviability when not 'compromising' on aesthetic quality. Given that Kamal managed it in VirumANdi, there is no reason to fear 'ngREn. (as opposed to irir's choice of HeyRam as the comparator).

ok P_R - understood now
as for VR's potential commerical outcome, most of us are forgetting following important factors:
1. amongst NI audiences, there is a certain sentiment associated with Krishna songs - IMO, the inclusion of the krishna leela kinda song in the script is precisely targeting this sentiment.
2.bangla/ bengali speaking ppl around the world today comprise the fourth largest grp ! http://www2.ignatius.edu/faculty/turner/languages.htm - even if half of them are regular film-goers, and at least half of them can be expected to watch VR for Rahul Bose - even if we take a lower estimate of half of this, given Rahul Bose's popularity amongst bengalis, VR will do quite well in the bangla sector alone!
3. combine all of this with the regular minority makkals stoked by sheer curiousity by the film's alleged theme/contents, will increase the VR audience significantly.
VR will do well

The best estimate that VR would gross worldwide if the content is good is 160cr (apporx),split up - T.N.-50 to 60 cr. NI-40-50cr. AP-20-25cr. Rest of India -10-15cr. Worldwide 20-25cr. So an apporx gross of 160cr the producer will get one third of it the rest goes to the govt tax and the exhibitor .So net earnings would be 55-60cr. Then comes satellite,dth and music sales worldwide this would be 30-40cr .It is going to be a break even affair if the film is good .I don't know if the budget of 95cr includes KH salary(actor+dir+story screenplay+lyricist and so on) if it is then he would be alright financially, if not then he has to be satisfied for giving a very good world class movie .but i don't think this film would hurt him financially, if the content is good that is.

It seems Kadal and David are releasing on the 1st feb. So VR as one week to collect maximum .VR should have been released on the 18th that would have given 2 week run without competition further it would also got 1 week clean run in NI bec race2 is releasing on the 25th .

I really have bad opinion about studio green ,i think they were behind the whole fiasco in the first place .Rumor also as it that they are binamis of admk. According to me no one as to help KH ,if they do not hinder him or block him behind the back that would be more then enough. Originally Posted by Cinemarasigan

SG's issus with VR is that initially they wanted to Distribute the film, the rate was not anywhere near expectation of KH. After that they played many petty poltics and did many things to Spoil VR, like blocking many good theaters for AP and show that Ka**hi is big crowd puller.. but their films is lost to KLTA in the end... Many big theaters are going to show / showing KLTA and removing AP. Originally Posted by Lat Sar

VR will likely do well but since "doing well" is a relative term, it is not clear, in VR's case if it will break even, financially. If KH is to be believed, the braek-even point is 150C. Given so many missteps after DTH related hurdles, the pathway is not clear. DTH was taken up only after the numbers without the DTH did not add up is another matter. Originally Posted by irir123
Although the DTH issue gave much needed publicity and became a talking point, the best outcome would have been to release it on the 10th as a wide ranging release all over India. At that point, there was a good amount of momemtum. If 1500 screens had been possible for a Jan 10th release, that would have been ideal. Once that was not possible, I feel KH has been distracted away from promoting the film and into tackling so many other issues and groups. There's been a lot of confusion. Until today, the NI release date was not clear. Still not clear to many how many screens it will get in other places besides TN. Also not clear, who the DTH players are and if the new pricing model will be viable. Those are all still being worked out, presumably.
If TNTOA follows through and makes it a massive release in TN (as they have promised) and if VR clicks with the masses, it has a chance to cross 100 C, perhaps even 150 or more. But, it would have been a lot easier if everything had fallen into place in the first attempt itself. It's bad luck to run into one issue after another. Not anticipating some of the issues that came up and not being fully prepared after that, is also a reason. After all, how much can a single person handle?
Given all this, it is a lot better to take up other interesting themes in the future and get it done between 40 and 45C. This way, he can make 1 to 2 movies a year rather than 1 movie every 2 years.

Andhra rights (incl. overseas) = min 20 C
Hindi rights(incl. overseas) = min 15 C
Total guaranteed direct revenue = 75 C before release..
Production cost + Kamal Salary + Marketing budget = 95 C ...
hence, production cost must be 60-65 C max ... there will not be any economic loss..
TN + Kerala + Karnataka theatricals are with Raajkamal .. the additional revenue for them has to come from here + DTH ..

Still there is a chance to show it in A class (Kerala) because the core issue of DTH is resolved; now it is more like a prestige/ego issue.
If there is no A class, VR may get, at the max, only 30-40% of its possible highest collection
Still not clear whether multiplexes join hands with the A class. The guy Basheer is an idiot and a big egoistic guy.
I called up 2 A class theaters, they said no clue.

Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam with all its raging controversies has become red hot in Tamil Nadu trade circuit.
The DTH premiere idea of the producer and subsequently dropping it and agreeing to Tamil Nadu Theater Owners Association (TNTOA), has kept the film in the news for days.
Vishwaroopam controversies have given hope to distributors and theaters that it will take a super opening in Tamil Nadu. Now due to the hype in a days’ time, all distribution areas in Tamil Nadu were sold out.
Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giants who brought the Salem area of the film had tweeted - “Red Giant has bought the distribution rights of Ulaga Naayagan's Vishwaroopam for just one area in Tamil Nadu – Salem. Rest of the areas sold out!”
Vishwaroopam is likely to release in 400 plus screens in Tamil Nadu, and is virtually getting a solo release.

Northie press....More candid
http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.a...nal&nid=319234
Kamal Haasan may have had to drop the idea of premiering his bilingual Vishwaroop on Direct To Home at the behest of distributors but still feels "DTH is the future of cinema".
Initially, Mr Haasan had decided to premiere his Tamil film Vishwaroopam, its dubbed Telugu version and the Hindi Vishwaroop on DTH a day before the scheduled theatrical release. But distributors were unhappy with the move and Kamal had to shelve that plan.
"The Hindi version is being released on February 1. It cannot be released on January 25 along with the Tamil and Telugu versions because Race 2 is releasing the same day," the actor-director-producer said on the new revised release plans.
"I feel the Hindi version Vishwaroop would gather more box office strength from the week-long release advantage that its Tamil and Telugu versions would have."
The film stars Shekhar Kapur, Rahul Bose and Kamal who has also directed the film.
But he is as confident of the DTH premiere strategy as he was before he was compelled to bow down.
"Look at the success through the DTH of the new Richard Gere film 'Arbitrage'. It has collected double its theatre collections on DTH. DTH is the future of cinema. The postponement of my film's release gave me an opportunity to convince my film fraternity of the feasibility of DTH.
"Unfortunately, the advance bookings had already opened when we postponed. We had to say sorry to the disappointed patrons. But I have to tell you, the advance bookings were unprecedented. No one refrained from going to the theatres because of the DTH. The panic regarding DTH is prevalent all over the world."
As far as the DTH telecast is concerned, Kamal said: "The south Indian distributors and exhibitors have requested a four-day headstart for the theatrical release. I made it easier for them. The DTH telecast would now be on Saturday, February 2 following the theatrical release on Friday January 25."
In the Hindi belt, the distributors won't relent over the DTH issue.
"In South, I've already won over the distributors. I guess the South chamber is more sensible than its Northern counterpart. So the Hindi DTH telecast would be as stipulated by the North Indian multiplexes. They don't want DTH before four weeks after the theatrical release . We have to go by their stipulation."
Regarding the e-mail that Kamal Haasan has sent to his all-India distributors Balaji Films, he clarified, "I never said we'll wait for six weeks. I said we'll wait for as long as the North Indian theatres stipulate."
The Los Angeles premiere of the film is now scheduled for January 24.

A bit of a contradiction though
"Look at the success through the DTH of the new Richard Gere film 'Arbitrage'. It has collected double its theatre collections on DTH. DTH is the future of cinema."...and then later "the advance bookings were unprecedented. No one refrained from going to the theatres because of the DTH"
While both of these 2 points may be independently true, if in the future, there is potential for DTH to garner twice the revenue of a theatrical release, will the theatre collections not be impacted? May be he feels DTH will reduce piracy and will take share from that

Bingo.. thats exactly he should be feeling. but i feel he should refrain from uttering these heavy words like "the South chamber is more sensible than its Northern counterpart". the same south chamber protested for DTH premiere, which would have resulted in, in his own words, collection double of theatre collections.

"One of the Pandavas, the great archer Arjuna, took the disguise of a eunuch named Brihanada, and was employed as a dance teacher to the king’s daughter. During Arjuna’s service as the royal dance master, the neighbouring kings, led by the Kuru Chieftains, raided the kingdom to steal the country’s cattle. The enemies struck at a time when Virada was away with his army on some mission. The only royal warrior who was left behind was Uttara, the teenager son of the king. When Arjuna saw the raiding chariots rushing towards the palace with the enemy flags fluttering, he lost no time in mounting the best chariot stationed nearby and installed the timid teenager prince on the driver’s seat and rode away to face the marauding cattle snatchers. When the enemy’s arrows started piercing the chariot, Uttara jumped out and took to his heels."
Is there a link to Virada Parvam and Vishwaroopam as rumoured? Looks a bit exciting but how much does the common man know of this Virada Parvam to link and appreciate the movie?
Has Kamal missed a trick by not 'educating' Virada Parvam as a part of his promotion ?
Having said should read 'Vyasar Virundhu' again now and complete before Friday

Anti-kamal fans either criticize kamal for no reason or spread fake news like above.
Let us check the Pre-release avenues for Vishwaroopam taking bare minimum :
Tamil satellite rights for Vishwaroopam -> 15 Cr
Telugu and hindi satellite rights -> 10 Cr
Audio rights (all 3 versions) -> 3 Cr
US distribution rights -> 1.5 million dollar -> 7.5 C
UK and Europe -> 12 C
France -> 60 Lac
Aus -> 20 Lac
Malaysia,Singapore and dubai -> 4 Cr
Hindi and telugu distribution rights -> 35 C
So total > 15 10 3 7.5 12 0.6 0.2 4 35=87.3
Moreover Kamalhaasan is not a idiot to announce the movie budget is 95 crore without including his renumeration.In TN his salary for acting alone will be 20 crore plus 5 crore for direction.So actual budget without his salary would be around 70 crore.
Also he holds distribution rights for TN and KL.Irrespective of movie fate whether its good or bad the 1st 3 days week-end collection in 500 theaters in TN and 100 theatres in KA,KL will be huge because you can expect 100% houseful shows for week-ends..for ex if ticket price is say 125 and for 4 shows with average theatre seats 300 then collections for 1st 3 days = 3*4*125*300*600=27 crores.So kamalhaasan share will be 15 crores out of 27 and after tax his share will be around 10 Crores.
So within first 3 days kamalhaasan would have collected 100 crores after paying all taxes..he is not going to lose anything..all this without DTH release after week-end and anyway DTH revenu

It is the first time I am coming across Aascar himself candidly saying Dasa was a big hit.
Aascar bags Vishwaroopam
DC | Anupama Subramanian | 2 hours 51 min ago
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/13011...s-vishwaroopam
True to its title, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam (or God Almighty appearing in a form that incorporates the Universe in it), gets bigger by the day. In what trade circles say is a win-win situation, prominent producer Aascar Ravichandran has stepped in to support Kamal Haasan and bought the distribution rights of Vishwaroopam for Chennai city and NSC (North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengalpet), the two major areas of box-office collections for an undisclosed amount. (The film releases on January 25 in 500 theatres.) In return, Kamal will be starring in Aascar’s next mega project.
Kamal, the maverick personality who has scripted, directed, produced and also played the lead role in the spy thriller, had drawn flak for his visionary idea of releasing the multilingual film on the DTH platform first. Since clearing the air with distributors and theatre owners, the news now is that Aascar will ensure its wide release in the film’s most lucrative market in the city and surrounds.
“Yes, Kamal is my hero,” says Aascar. “He has given one of the biggest blockbusters, Dasavatharam, under Aascar Films. I stepped in for the very reason that Vishwaroopam, which has received a lot of hype in recent times, has turned out well and I am confident of its massive success at the box office,” he adds.
He also confirms that Kamal will be doing his next project, a multilingual one, under the Aascar banner. Known for his grand scale, what’s the film’s budget going to be? “It’s too early to talk about it, but the new film will have an expensive cast and a staggering budget,” he says. An astute businessman and an intuitive decision maker, Ravi has a knack for making things work and maintaining quality.
Film circles view this as a twin smart move by which Vishwaroopam gets its due release over multiple screens while Aascar bags the star for a big budget film. Film fans may expect another blockbuster with the two giants combining in a project again.

Varratam. People will see it for Aravind Swamy and Arjun only. Not to digress, but this Gautham and Thulasi lack the charm their parents have. Moreso, Thulasi is like a bulked-up Genelia if you think about it. Of course, MR has good female-fan following (like our Pacha studios Zooriya/Kardhi...)

Looking at Kamal "It looks like you are possessed by Cinema!...."

"As Long as he remains this mad nobody can touch him!"
" I just feel so proud that Kamal's a thamizhan, a friend of mine and someone who's in love with cinema the way id do.."
"We should stop calling him Ulaga nAyagan and start calling him ulaga iyakkunar"

Extra-ordinary opening buzz for Kamal's Vishwaroopam
Jan 21, 2013
The response for Vishwaroopam in the advance booking counters across the theaters in Chennai city has been fabulous to say the least. All the shows for the first weekend have been sold out. Even early morning shows between 6 am and 9 am are much in demand. We have to see if theaters screen shows as early as 4 am and 5 am. Some theaters are also expected to screen shows on 24th night towards midnight.
Kamal Haasan and all the various areas’ distributors and exhibitors must indeed be a happy lot seeing the initial response. Given the extra-ordinary hype and expectations for the movie, if the movie lives up to Kamal’s own lofty standards, then a long run at the box-office can be expected.

btw, after reading a few reviews, I watched "The Impossible" based on the real event of a family visiting Thailand as tourists, when the December 2004 tsunami struck and how they survived.
with barely anything substantial to build a story upon, solely relying on very fundamental survival related elements, anguish and pain and very little cinematic compromises, the movie somehow manages to work - of course a stunning recreation of the tsunami and its aftermath.
there are niche audiences for films like this - and also for slam-bang actioners and total garbage like '2012' !
will a film like that work in India, if made by Bollywood, or in Tamil ? no way !
next gen director pesara range 'padathhula MASS irukku' - namakku therinja 'mass' is physics related - oru reasonably successful director talks in such unsophisticated manner to articulate his response after seeing VR - you can gauge what kind of movies actually work for our collective us!

For instance in VR, will the mere indictment of American ஏகாதிபத்யம் itself suffice for you? Even that has not been done in Tamil films. It will be novel and a only-Kamal-can-do-it thing.
For it to be taken seriously (by me, that is) it needs to be 'real' and not simplistic and one-sided. But the scope of doing that in an ambitious pop-project like this is quite limited. Or will you go on to allege that I have vested interest in maintaining American colonialism and I am thus quaking in my boots that Kamal has dared to challenge it?

400 theatres * 5 shows * 3 days * 450 seats per show * Rs 80 per tkt = 21.6 Crs in TN alone. Let's see.

Vishwaroopam is one film that the entire Tamil nadu is waiting for, the advance bookings are started by Saturday and one can see that the shows in all theaters are filled for one week. The kind of craze for Vishwaroopam is something which is happened only for Endhiran and the theater owners are really happy with the opening through advance booking. Popular Multiplexes like Sathyam, Mayajal are floated with queries on AURO 3D and they have increased the shows for Vishwaroopam.
Coimbatore,Trichy and Madurai theaters are also reported with similar kind of thundering receptions while the fans in districts like Virudhunagar and Thirunelveli are not happy with the theaters allocated for Vishwaroopam. Our sources says that the last minute negotiations are going on those areas and the entire list of theaters will be publishd by Thursday . So Ulagayanagan is all set to make a thundering entry on January 25th!.

Technical review (?) from Viruviruppu
http://viruvirupu.com/2013/01/22/45034/
கமலின் விஸ்வரூபம் படம் வெளியாகுமுன் எழுதப்படுவதால், இதை ஒரு டெக்னிகல் விமர்சனமாக எடுக்கவும்.
படம் ‘மிரட்டலாக’ வந்திருக்கிறது. படம் பற்றி ஏற்கனவே வெளியான தகவல்களில், ரிலிஜஸ் சென்டிமென்ட், டான்ஸ் பற்றியெல்லாம் பற்றி பேசப்பட்டாலும், இது ஒரு பக்கா ஆக்ஷன் த்ரில்லர் ரகத்திலான படம்தான். ஹாலிவூட் படம் ‘மிஷன் இம்பாஸிபிள்’ ரகத்திலான படம். வேகமாக நகரும் படத்தை, சில இடங்களில் ஸ்லோ ஆக்குவது, டான்ஸ் காட்சிகள்தான்.
கனடாவிலும், அமெரிக்காவிலும் எடுக்கப்பட்ட காட்சிகள் சூப்பர் ரிச் டோனில் எடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன. இதில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ள சில ஆக்ஷன் காட்சிகள் போல இதுவரை தமிழில் வந்திருப்பது சந்தேகமே.
கதை பற்றி நாம் வாய் திறக்கவில்லை. இருந்தாலும் கதையின் தீம், ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் அமெரிக்காவின் ட்ரோன் அட்டாக் (உளவு விமான ஏவுகணை தாக்குதல்கள்) ஆபரேஷன்களுக்கு லேசாக எதிரான கருத்தை கூறுகிறது. இதில் அப்பாவி மக்களும் கொல்லப்படுவதை விஸ்வரூபம் படம் சில இடங்களில் சொல்கிறது. வசனங்களிலும், அந்த சாயல் அடிக்கிறது.
இந்திய சென்சாருக்கு அவற்றை விடுவதில் ஏதும் சிக்கல் கிடையாது என்று தெரிகிறது. இல்லாவிட்டால், இந்தியாவின் ‘ஃபாரின் பாலிஸி’ என்று கூறி நறுக்கியிருக்க கூடிய சில வசனங்கள் இடம்பெற்றிருக்க முடியாது. ஆனால் எப்படியோ, அப்படியான வசனங்கள் உள்ளன.
---
இந்த இடத்தில் ஒரு முக்கிய விஷயம். ஆப்கானிஸ்தானில் நடைபெற்ற சி.ஐ.ஏ.வின் ட்ரோன் அட்டாக் ஆபரேஷன்கள், வெள்ளை மாளிகையில் ஜான் பிரென்னனின் (John O. Brennan) நேரடி மேற்பார்வையில் நடந்தன. இப்போதும் நடக்கின்றன.
இந்த ஜான் பிரென்னனைதான் (Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism), சி.ஐ.ஏ.வின் அடுத்த தலைவராக ஒபாமா பரிந்துரைத்தார்.
விஸ்வரூபம் கதையின் ஒரு கோணம், இவரது பாலிஸிக்கு எதிரானது. கமலுக்கு அமெரிக்காவில் ஷூட்டிங் நடத்த அனுமதி எப்படி கிடைத்ததோ!
அமெரிக்காவில் NYPD வரும் காட்சிகள், சில சேஸிங் காட்சிகள், மற்றும் மிலிட்டரி காட்சிகள் சூப்பர்; பின்னணி இசையில் வெஸ்ட்டர்ன், மற்றும் அரபிக் இசை மாறிமாறி வருவதும் கலக்கல். மொத்தத்தில், தமிழில் இப்படியான ரிச் ப்ரடக்ஷன் இதுவரை வந்ததில்லை. ஒரு சூப்பர் டூப்பர் ஹிட்டுக்கு சகல தகுதிகளும் உள்ள படம்.
படத்தில் உள்ள இரண்டு மைனஸ்கள்: முதலாவது ஸ்பை த்ரில்லர் அல்லது ஆக்ஷன் த்ரில்லர் வேகத்தை குறைக்கும் டான்ஸ் சீன்கள் (நான் டான்ஸ் அபிமானியல்ல) இதே டைப்பான ஆங்கிலப் படங்களை பார்த்துவிட்டு, விஸ்வரூபம் பார்க்கும்போது, டான்ஸ் அநியாயத்துக்கு அந்நியமாக தெரிகிறது.
இரண்டாவது, ஆப்கான் ஆபரேஷன், சி.ஐ.ஏ. நடைமுறைகள் போன்றவை பற்றிய அடிப்படை அறிவு இல்லாதவர்களுக்கு, படத்தில் உள்ள சில காட்சிகளின் முக்கியத்துவம், மற்றும் சில டயலாக்குகள் நிச்சயம் புரியாது.
இந்த படத்தின் வசீகரம் காரணமாக, இதன் மேக்கிங் பற்றியும் ஒரு கட்டுரை எழுத உத்தேசம்.

The organization which has issues a FatwA against Viswa is 'Tamilnadu tauheed Jamat" - which is a significantly powerful org.
http://www.tntj.net/128024.htmlநடிகர் கமலஹாசன் விஸ்வரூபம் என்ற திரைப்படத்தைத் தயாரித்து அதை ஜனவரி 25 அன்று வெளியிட இருப்பதாக அறிவித்துள்ளார். அந்தப்படத்தில் ஒட்டுமொத்த முஸ்லிம்களையும், இஸ்லாம் மதத்தையும் இழிவுபடுத்தி காட்சிகள் அமைந்துள்ளதாக செய்திகள் வந்தன. இதைத் தொடர்ந்து நேற்று (21.01.2013) அனைத்து இஸ்லாமிய இயக்கங்களின் தலைவர்களுக்கு கமலஹாஸன் விஸ்வரூபம் திரைப்படத்தைப் போட்டுக் காட்டியுள்ளார்.
அந்தப்படத்தைப் பார்த்த அனைத்து முஸ்லிம் தலைவர்களும் இந்திய வரலாற்றில் இதுபோல் முஸ்லிம்களையும் இஸ்லாத்தையும் கேவலப்படுத்தும் ஒரு படம் வெளியாகவே இல்லை என்ற முடிவுக்கு வந்துள்ளனர்.
எனவே இந்தப்படத்தை வெளியிட்டால் மாபெரும் சட்டம் ஒழுங்குப் பிரச்சினை ஏற்படும் என்பதால் மத்திய அரசும் மாநில அரசும் இப்படத்திற்கு முற்றாகத் தடை விதிக்க வேண்டும்
அவ்வாறின்றி இப்படம் வெளியாகுமேயானால்,அப்படம் தமிழகத்தில் எந்தத் தியேட்டரிலும் வெளியிட விடமாட்டோம் என்று தமிழ்நாடு தவ்ஹீத் ஜமாஅத் அவசர நிர்வாகக் குழு கூடி முடிவெடுத்துள்ளது

Well, Tamil Identity Politics is just waiting for something like this to Happen
Rajapakse's friend and ex-congress MLA Hasan Ali of Ramnathapuram might be able to tell you what that would be!
I would still wait for Jawahirullah (of MMK / TMMK) though.

hmmm... Tamilnadu Muslim Munetra kazhakam which is the Social Front of the Political Part Manithaneya makkal katchi (MMK) headed by prof. jawahirullah, has also condemned Viswaroobam:
http://www.tmmk.in/
http://tmmk.in/images/visvaroobam.gif
If TMMK gets into the Protest mode then it means trouble for Viswa; Kamal should be here in chennai to deal with this.
But it is time to make these "sirupAnmai makkaL" to understand that 'identity Politics" works both ways. Thamizh ina pOrAttam cant be ignored by Ramnad trader muslims with their allegiance to Srilankan PI*P moor muslims.
Im afraid if Prof Jawahirullah joins this chorus against Viswa then it need to be solved at the Political level, with Jaya's inetrvention - maybe.

vote bank politics will prevent politicians from supporting kamal, moreover he is out of town.
Either the govt. will prevent it's release citing Law & order issues or to escape the protesters ire, the distributors and theatre owners will chop off the "objectionable scenes" indiscriminately robbing the movie of its true value making this a half baked product.

The basic foundation in critisizing religious beliefs is not strong in our country. That's why we see such protests arising whenever the movie media tries to attempt. If our publishing media had passed through such barrier in past, the movie creators by this time would have got so much freedom. Any revolution should start from publishing media. But our editors/writers never have the courage to move the coin.

எந்தவொரு மத அமைப்பும் கடைந்தெடுத்த அடிப்படைவாத சிந்தனையை துதிக்கும் மனிதர்களை உள்ளடக்கியதுதான். அவர்களிடம் படத்தை போட்டுக் காண்பிப்பதும் சுவற்றுக்கு நேரே பேசுவதும் ஒன்றுதான்.

For instance in VR, will the mere indictment of American ஏகாதிபத்யம் itself suffice for you? Even that has not been done in Tamil films. It will be novel and a only-Kamal-can-do-it thing.
For it to be taken seriously (by me, that is) it needs to be 'real' and not simplistic and one-sided. But the scope of doing that in an ambitious pop-project like this is quite limited. Or will you go on to allege that I have vested interest in maintaining American colonialism and I am thus quaking in my boots that Kamal has dared to challenge it?
Ok I don't want to be any more of a wet blanket as I know I am annoying many enthu folks here. படம் பார்த்தபின் சந்திப்போம்
P_R - for all that we know, Kamal might actually be showcasing the endorsement of the kind of libertarianism espoused by the likes of Ron Paul - instead of a simplistic direct attack on american colonialism - which self-righteous manipulators like Dinesh D'Souza accuse Obama of (I mean being assuming and spreading the word abt Obama being anti-colonial)

Vishwaroopam is one film that the entire Tamil nadu is waiting for, the advance bookings are started by Saturday and one can see that the shows in all theaters are filled for one week. The kind of craze for Vishwaroopam is something which is happened only for Endhiran and the theater owners are really happy with the opening through advance booking. Popular Multiplexes like Sathyam, Mayajal are floated with queries on AURO 3D and they have increased the shows for Vishwaroopam.
Coimbatore,Trichy and Madurai theaters are also reported with similar kind of thundering receptions while the fans in districts like Virudhunagar and Thirunelveli are not happy with the theaters allocated for Vishwaroopam. Our sources says that the last minute negotiations are going on those areas and the entire list of theaters will be publishd by Thursday . So Ulagayanagan is all set to make a thundering entry on January 25th!.
virudhunagar, tirunelveli, theni, saathoor - indha oor makkala yellaam pagachhukkapadaadhungaren -ambutta thaan - the entire TN south of Kodaikkanal deserves special attention for any Kamal release !

Hi All
We are going thru important time! Super Duper Excited about Vishwaroopam!!
1. Need not worry about the Muslim outfits' sudden jumping at neck of the moment, in a way, care and steps are taken. Lets not worry about that at all. Kamal started Vishwaroopam Shoot after reading Quran Thoroughly. His hands (movie content) are clean and thus State Govt is going to give the needed support. Remember there where protests for MumbaiExpress too, after release, in hteaters. And StateGovt gave support
2. The Chennai FDFS is now changed to WoodLands. Show is at 11.30 Media will be there to cover the Celebrations! Ticket is not an issue So ppl interested are most invited to Join us! (tickets are 50/100) If you are interested, put a word here. Even otherwise, you can join at that moment too!

That is also not possible because according to tamilcinema.com the kathak dance has been removed. So what we all have is opening credits and some end credits and of course some of the credits also objectionable. The total running time of the movie is 3 minutes 2 seconds. Now all the chennai screens will increase the no of shows. Originally Posted by Nachiketa

'apocalypse now', 'platoon' etc were direct criticism of war culture as well as american foreign policy - neither the american govt nor any political party opposed them; 'passion of the christ' under the baton of fundamentalist crackpot Mel Gibson was anti-semitic to the core - no Jewish group protested against it; 'history of the world' parodied several historical figures including Moses et al - again noone protested; 'the guru' made fun of the Hindu 'guru' concept - noone protested.
but when a danish cartoon comes out depicting one certain religious head, the person who drew the cartoon and 10s of others bearing the same name as the cartoon creator, are under threat in Europe! and when a badly made movie on a certain religion comes out last year, the entire middle-east erupts in violence! when a certain Nihalini made a realistic 'Tamas', the congress govt hastily took it off the small screen for fear of losing the minority vote!
of course they are a very peaceful lot - you got to give it to them !

TMMK has explained some reasons in their website
http://www.tmmk.in/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2973: 2013-01-22-15-21-34&catid=58:2009-10-11-12-42-41
நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன், விஸ்வரூபம் என்ற பெயரில் ஒரு திரைப்படத்தை எடுத்திருக்கிறார். இந்தப் படத்தை கடந்த 21.01.2013 அன்று முஸ்லிம் கூட்டமைப்பைச் சேர்ந்த தலைவர்களுக்கு சிறப்புக் காட்சியைப் பார்க்க கமல்ஹாசன் ஏற்பாடு செய்திருந்தார்.
1. திருக்குர்ஆன், தீவிரவாதிகளின் கையேடு என்பதைப் போல் காட்சிகள் அமைக்கப் பட்டுள்ளன.
2. தொழுகை உட்பட முஸ்லிம்களின் வணக்க வழிபாடுகள் தீவிரவாதத்திற்கு ஊக்கம் அளிக்கின்றன என்பது போல் காட்சிகள் சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.
3. தமிழ்நாட்டில் உள்ள கோவை, மதுரை போன்ற நகரங்களெல்லாம் சர்வதேச தீவிரவாதிகளின் புகலிடங்கள் போல் சித்தரிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளன.
All 3 are mokkai complaints and won't be supported by their won fellow muslims themself.
Even if they try to protest, there won't be public/govt support.
Added to that the massive No of Theaters they cannot do any thing.
Those 3 complaints won't stand legally in a court. Infact KH can file a suit for attempting to create Panic for him and his movie, and this his Fans

But i guess, after mukki mukki paarthing, these are the only things they can come up with. which pretty much says there is nothing damaging.
And that gives a feel that the State Govt is playing this low, same time making sure this news not picked up by media and also Govt giving whatever support, allowed by law. Which means, in a way KH shud have satisfied/proved Govt or CM that this Film is NOT troubleworthy

தமிழகத்தின் மூத்தப் பத்திரிக்கையாளர் ஒருவர் கீழ்க்கண்டக் கருத்துக்களை முன்வைத்திருக்கிறார். இங்கிருக்கும் அனைவரும், உங்களுக்கும் இந்தக் கருத்துக்களொடு ஒத்துப்போனால்.. கூடுமானவரை முகநூல் வழியாகவோ மற்றும் தளங்கள் வழியாகவோ இதை பரப்பலாம்.
---------
Appeal to all Muslim groups protesting Viswaroopam (an appeal fr concerned citizens)
We appeal to you not to disrupt the screening of Kamalhaasan starrer Viswaroopam.Your strident protests are sure to vitiate the atmosphere further and worsen the relationship between Muslims and other communities.When the censor board , the duly constituted authority under law, has cleared the release of the film, any extra-legal attempt to block its release would only show up the protesters as those defying the law in the name of religion. Some of you have been quoted as saying “We will lay down our lives to prevent the release of the film.” Should you lay down your lives over a film? Religion could be all important to you in your private life, nobody objects, but when it comes to public space you will have to learn to live with the values of the larger society. Our neighboring Pakistan is a tragic example of the danger of extreme religiosity. Do you want such sectarian violence here too? Already everywhere in the world some quarters are trying to paint Muslims in very bad colors, touchy, intolerant and violent. You are welcome to move the courts, even hold meetings saying the film is anti-Muslim if you feel aggrieved. But you risk violence if you are going to stage demonstrations. We all know what happened during the recent protests over the US film on Islam. India is to recover from the demolition in Ayodhya, communal relationship is so frayed, society so polarized, violence breaking out off and on somewhere or other all the time. You may succeed in blocking the release of Viswaroopam, but you might end up reinforcing many anti-Muslim prejudices, and that could have disastrous impact all round. Please don’t allow emotions to get the better of you and ruin social harmony. Once the monster is unleashed no stopping the vicious spiral, remember. There are various issues affecting us all. Let us work together and fight for a better deal for all of us.

This is among the more radical groups in the political space. The Owaisis - whose cultural opinion is to spout venom when taking a break from spitting on Taslima Nasreen - find political advantage in being extreme, so they can differentiate themselves and harvest the polarization.
Other - read moderate - Islamic organizations are the ones that they attack to establish themselves as a representative voice. Taking them to represent some universal opinion of all Muslims or Islam itself - would be falling for their trick.

Almost entire story of Viswaroopam was revealed in parts by the Muslim group representative today in Puthiyathalaimurai. EKSI..
Looks like Kamal had told them in person that he is a cannon and not a pistol. "Thupakki illa... naan beerangi" (something like that).
Apparently the muslim group representative says if the film releases it will create violent effects in the society against muslims.
Kamalukku nalla venum.. for screening the film to some half-baked religious organizations. Bal T will be laughing in heaven.

I don't see any statement from state gov. saying that any kind of violence or disruption will be dealt with severely. In the absence of such a statement ,this may discourage exhibitors from screening the movie. What is chandra haasan doing? why can't he meet the commissioner and explain to him about the censorship clearances received in malaysia which is predominantly a muslim state. It was reported that there was a similar screening held sometime back to some organisations. If this is true can't he ask those organisations to defend the movie?

Professional tensions,adhula idhu vera.Thaanga mudiyala.
No point in debating all this,but if violence erupts and these organizations are quite capable of doing that,we can be assured that the government will ask the film to be removed from theatres instead of showing these people their place.
Also,can't understand why the hell he had to show the film to these fringe elements.They are guys who are hell bent on creating trouble.Probably he deserves all this for trying to appease them.

Now his hands are clean in both ways that he is confident on his product being Right(not insulting anybody) and also that he has the guts to show the film.

I don't think they can ban the movie since its ok'd by the censor board .If they want ban first they have to a court stay order and the court can only decide after viewing the movie if it warrants a ban . On the other hand the govt can ask the theaters not to screen the movie citing communal tensions . If only the govt decides to support the movie then no one can do a thing. Lets see the true colour of this govt. Originally Posted by Nachiketa

i don't think it is possible to remove certain objectionable scenes as the entire film is based on terrorism. moreover these groups are also talking about a complete ban and not for removal of certain scenes .if there is a ban, think about the emotional turmoil that we have to undergo and not to forget the financial impact for kamal.

திருக்குர்ஆன், தீவிரவாதிகளின் கையேடு என்பதைப் போல் காட்சிகள் அமைக்கப் பட்டுள்ளன.
if my understanding is right,the above point raised by the groups is misinterpretation of quran i.e. Quran being depicted as guide/handbook for terrorism. this is what everyone has been saying , even in middle east that quran is being misinterpreted by vested interests indulging in terrorism.
correct me if i'm wrong.

UAE is a very liberal place compared to all other Muslim countries. And the local Arabs are laest bothered about a Tamil movie there. This PJ guy has some influence in gulf among Tamil speaking Muslims and I too feel some insider thing is going on. Besides in a country like UAE no body including their own people can engage in any kind of violence or protest. Unless the government itself bans there is no way for the movie to get suspended. I strongly feel there are too many people involved in spoiling the party for KH. And I am sure he will get through this as well. Originally Posted by Anban

Linguswamy, Murugadoss in awe of Viswaroopam
Ace directors A R Murugadoss and Lingusamy heap praise on Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan after watching a special premiere of Viswaroopam. The much awaited Kamal Haasan's magnum opus Viswaroopam starring Kamal Haasan, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah in lead roles is set to hit the screens on Jan 25th.
The film seems to have all the necessary ingredients of a successful film according to A R Murugadoss. He says that the film is magnificent and intelligently made and at the same also has the mass appeal. He seems to mighty impressed with the fight sequences in the film and also says that screenplay, performance and make-up have been excellent. In fact the ace director seems to be astonished how such action scenes could be made.
Lingusamy says that everyone can be proud of Kamal Haasan when they come out of the theatres and also that only the Ulaganayagan can make such a film which is far beyond the thinking of others. Viswaroopam is scripted, directed and produced by Kamal and the music is by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

தெரிவித்து, கமல் அலுவலகம்,தியேட்டர்கள் மற்றும் சென்சார் அலுவலகத்தை
முற்றுகையிடப்போவதாக இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகள் அறிவித்துள்ளன.
கமலின் விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தில் இஸ்லாமியர்களை இழிவுபடுத்தி காட்சிகளை
வைத்திருப்பதால் அந்த படத்தை தடை செய்ய வேண்டும் எனக் கோரி முஸ்லிம்
அமைப்புகள் எதிர்ப்பு தெரிவித்து வருகின்றன.
கடந்த திங்கட்க்கிழமை விஸ்வரூபம் படத்தை முஸ்லிம் அமைப்புகளின்
கூட்டமைப்பு நிர்வாகிகளுக்கு திரையிட்டு காட்டினார் கமல். படத்தில்
முஸ்லிம்களை மிக மோசமாக சித்தரித்தரித்திருப்பதாக கூறி முஸ்லிம்
அமைப்புகளின் கூட்டமைப்பு நிர்வாகிகள் செவ்வாய்க்கிழமை சென்னை போலீஸ்
கமிஷனர் ஜார்ஜிடம் புகார் அளித்தார்கள்.
இன்று கோட்டையில் உள்துறை செயலாளர் ராஜகோபாலை 24 முஸ்லிம் அமைப்புகளின்
கூட்டமைப்பு சந்தித்தது. அப்போது முஸ்லிம்களை காயப்படுத்தி
எடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் படத்தை தடை செய்ய வேண்டும். என கோரிக்கை
வைத்தார்கள்.
இச்சந்திப்பு முடிந்து வெளியே வந்த நிர்வாகிகள் நிருபர்களுக்கு பேட்டி
அளித்தனர். மனிதநேய மக்கள் கட்சியின் எம்.எல்.ஏ. ஜவாஹிருல்லா அளித்த
பேட்டி: ''முஸ்லிம்களை குறி வைத்து எடுக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது விஸ்வரூபம்
திரைப்படம். இந்த படத்தின் இந்த காட்சிகளை நீக்க வேண்டும் என்றெல்லாம்
சொல்ல முடியாத அளவுக்கு அனைத்து காட்சிகளும் முஸ்லிம்களுக்கு எதிராகவே
இருக்கிறது. அதனால் படத்தை அரசு தடை செய்ய வேண்டும்.
இந்த படத்தை வெளியிட்டால் விரும்பதகாத நிகழ்வுகள் ஏற்படலாம். அரசு
எங்க*ளின் கோரிக்கைகளை பரிசீலிப்பதாக சொல்லி இருக்கிறது. விஸ்வரூபம்

கமலின் ஆழ்வார்பேட்டை அலுவலகம் மற்றும் சென்சார் போர்டு அலுவலகம்
முற்றுகையிடும் போராட்டம் அடுத்தடுத்து நடைபெறும்." என்றார்.
இதற்கிடையே இன்னொரு முஸ்லிம் தரப்பினர் கமல் அலுவலகத்திற்கு கிளம்பி சென்றிருப்பதாக தகவல்கள் வெளியாகி இருக்கின்றன.

Very sad news wrt VOX cinemas tweet.
Sorry to say but this kind of behaviour will only enlarge the gap between their community and the others.
Hope atleast now the politicians realize that if you are appeasing somebody,their demands will grow to such an extent that it will engulf you one day.
There are innumerable instances in history but adha thaan namma padikkaradhe illaye?
See this catching up like wild fire if the government does not step in and douse it.
If decisions continue to be taken keeping the vote in mind,one more step towards the division of society.
Where are the intellectuals who crop up every time fringe elements from the Hindu side burn books,protest Valentine's day,M.F.Hussain exhibitions etc.
They kept quite when Salman Rushdie was prevented from attending the Jaipur literary festival last year and I am yet to see one word of support to VR from their side till now.
Indha freedom of expression is applicable I guess only when Hindu identity is questioned and never,ever for Islam.
Indha hypocrisy-a question panna,odane RSS supporter,communal-nnu colour kudukkavendiyadhu.

I suspect some influential guy in TN wud have put a request to UAE Govt to ban the film and they wud have revisited the film and its censor sertificate and decided there is nothing wrong!
So they sort of banned for a short period and reviewed in that period and Cleared it! This means the TN muslim protest will weaken!! Also heard that the Ulturai SeyalaaLar has Denied the news that Vishwa is banned!
some random guys who protested in front of Rajkamal Office have been arrested. this is almost 1 hour ago

Checked with ticket issuer in Golden Cinemas,UAE. He is a Tamilian and he said the UAE govt had no issues in releasing the film. It was due to the pressure from certain entities from TN, they had to withhold. Tamil nandu kadhathaan nyabagam varudhu.

Didn't I tell you. This is PJ's group and I know he has some Tamil speaking Muslim followers in Gulf countries but they cannot do anything like what they are doing in TN. Those governments would make sure that they reach home within 24 hours. Originally Posted by ajaybaskar

விஸ்வரூபம் திரைப்படத்தை கடந்த திங்கட்கிழமை 24 அமைப்புகள் உள்ளடக்கிய முஸ்லீம் கூட்டமைப்பு நிர்வாகிகளுக்கு கமல் திரையிட்டுக் காட்டினார். கமலின் ராஜ்கமல் அலுவலகத்தில் படம் திரையிடப்பட்டது. படத்தை பார்த்துவிட்டு வந்த முஸ்லீம் கூட்டமைப்பு படத்தில் இஸ்லாமியர்களுக்கு எதிரான காட்சிகள் இருப்பதாகச் சொல்லி சென்னை போலீஸ் கமிஷ்னர் ஜார்ஜிடம் புகார் அளித்தனர். இந்நிலையில் இன்று காலை தமிழக உள்துறைச் செயலாளர் ராஜகோபாலை முஸ்லீம் அமைப்பு நிர்வாகிகள் சந்தித்து விஸ்வரூபம் படத்துக்குத் தடை விதிக்க வலியுறுத்தினர்.
இந்நிலையில் விஸ்வரூபம் படம் தமிழகத்தில் வெளியிடப்பட்டால் சட்டம் ஒழுங்கு பாதிக்கப்படலாம் என தமிழக அரசு கருதுகிற*தாம். இதனால் படம் ரிலீஸ் இரண்டு வாரத்துக்குத் தள்ளிப்போகும் எனத் தெரிகிறது. இதுத்தொடர்பான அதிகாரப்பூர்வமான அறிவிப்பு இன்னும் ஒரு மணி நேரத்தில் வெளிவரலாம் என்ற பரபரப்பு கோட்டையில் கேட்கிறது! - Ju Vi

Positive things like Kamal in Maniratnam film, Thalaivan irukkindraan with 5 superstars, Cannes bending its rules for Vishwa etc are examples of false rumours.

These things show his side is error free. So its now the GOvt to somehow silence these violence groups.

The state govt can not ban the movie which is duely passed by the censor board of India .Only the court as the right to overrule the censor board that to only after viewing the movie and if they find it objectionable. The state govt can only postpone the release sitting communal disturbance. But that will the death nail for freedom of speech and democracy of India .This could become a bad precedence and fringe elements in the society will use these kind of activities whenever it pleases them.

thats the whole problem with the very nature of religion - the sanctity and divinity associated with religious scriptures has made it impossible to rewrite them in any way - it is therefore not surprising that a right-wing extremist group can morph into a war-mongering Tea Party in the US, whose members literally believe the middle-east is where armageddon will begin and thus in a rather cynical way, actually support wars there in anticipation of the 'rapture'!- again that is based on scripture ! same goes to these Islamic extremists - and certain religious scriptures are just read verbatim and accepted verbatim - unbelievers become 'kaafirs' in islamic states for example; or the extremist jewish grps' irrational actions.
why religious scriptures ? even ordinary proverbs become sacred over time and often get tagged with religious beliefs - "aan pillai yendraal adithhu valarkka vendum; pen pillai yendraal potthi valarkka vendum" that one can hear (amongst many things) in rural areas is one such nonsense; same goes to this "A woman who does not throw herself into the funeral pyre of her husband, shall be born as a scavenger in her next life" - a blatantly pro-Sati sentence becomes part of divine literature in North India (PM me if you want the source) ! 'spare the rod, not the child' inspired by the bible is put to use literally in many schools in the southern (US bible belt) states, where children are often beat/caned by their teachers repeatedly (source: Sam Harris's "End of Faith").
neither you nor me can change any of this - people choose to be stupid, ignorant and idiotic and base their decisions on outdated scripture, belief systems - which ought to be considered as literature but with not much relevance to reality - of course ppl have a right to be all of that - but when my next door neighbor's stupidity, ignorance begins to disturb my normal functioning, then I do have a problem with that.
either islamists look deep within themselves and change or they are not gonna keep up with the world - and will keep making things difficult for themselves as well as others - and they can forever keep complaining of their sentiments being hurt - bull !

The anger and ire of Kamal fans (and any normal thinking person) seems to be directed against the fringe elements like Jawahirullah.... But, these 'fringe' elements can only be silenced when the 'non-fringe' elements within the Muslim community, the saner, normal people...come out and denounce the Jawahirullahs among them....The silence of the 'non-fringe' people, will automatically be construed as their implicit approval...of these Jawahirullahs....

What do you expect thamizh nationalists to do?

Kamal is paying for his 2 biggest blunders:
1) Scratchin the back of thamizh Genocidal supporter Mu.Ka and his DMK koodaaram, by participating in the eezham genocide poosi mezhugal project, of Karunnaa nidhi functions. between 2009-2011.
2) Most importantly, Kamal inspite of knowing what JJ would think, went to P chidambaram function, and gave aval to Mu.ka's saniyan vaai. That was a suicidal move by Kamal.
If he now blames JJ for this fiasco (which he can do rightfully) - ppl will start pointing fingers at his own blunders of co-operating with Mu.Kas political project.

Main plot seems Afghanistan and as a person who has been living in the very place for last 3 years, I can say you cannot show Muslims - yes my fellow Muslims as saints when you make a movie with Afghan background. From a couple of posts of P_R I still feel only a very small part of the atrocity is touched upon. Much bigger and unbelievable things happen here in the name of Islam. I am totally against all these nonsense that's happening now. Originally Posted by thamiz

More than "JJ-got-angry-in-Kamal-praising-Chidhambaram" I am hearing news that Kamal tried re-negotiating the deal and terms with JJ on satellite rights and ended broken up. Is that true? If yes, I see a good platform for all these current events get shaped up.

Everyone knows it was Mallu Muslims and Mallu RSS elements in the Kovai area which were behind the trouble there. Thamizh Muslims were forced into a corner only becuase of the Sangh sponsored Poison during the 1998-99 period in Kovai.
Jawahirulla being painted as a Terrorist is as much a idiotic thing as Painting Kamal as anti-muslim.
It is deplorable that they dont even understand Kamal's anti-hindutva Hey Ram film at all. Perhaps Kamal should be more explicit when he deals with Strong themes like these, compormising artistic eliteness, for reaching out to the masses.

hey Ram went through exactly similar tortures by th sangh parivar, the then BJP govt cabinet's half of the ministers, saw Hey Ram and suggested Cuts. Kamal has publ;icly said this then in 2000. Only after that and much delays later Hey ram came out.
Kamal even said "..I feel like wearing Pakistan Green color shirts.." in a fit of Rage then - this can be verified.
So - Hindutva groups taking advantage of this complex issue will only lead to undesirable effects.

On the advice of the govt. nay politicians, if kamal chops whole bunch of scenes what would be left in the movie ?
Now how will he sustain / re-ignite the public interest in the movie?
Will theatre owners believe him again?
will he go for DTH alone this time? Will DTH operators believe him now?
what about the current financial loss ? already he has invested 95 crs and now distributors are going to chase him to the end of the world to recover the advances paid .Financially he is doomed and If he is financially doomed, mark my words not a even a single soul from the fickle minded tamil film industry would touch him.
With all this behind, will he continue to stay put in tamil films?
will he strike a deal with any political party offering his support for elections in return for bailing him out financially ?
I wish he comes out of this all by himself and he should bring down the curtains on his tamil film career by himself. I'm sure many will happily compose a requiem.

Interesting and Old and important and relevant TidBit about heyRam, found form this rediff from year 1999:
http://www.rediff.in/entertai/1999/nov/18kamal.htm
But to revert to Subramaniam (right) -- why did he walk out? The reason is that, in his opinion, the movie was going to offend a lot of people, especially the Hindu community. And the music maestro did not want any truck with such a project.
Subramaniam, though, is not the only prominent personality to get cold feet on He Ram -- add to the list, the Sankaracharya of Kanchi. In the movie, there is a sequence where the Sankaracharya is being interviewed. It was shot on location, at the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, with His Holiness participating. And the sequence was meant for incorporation in the film.
Later, however, His Holiness began rethinking his involvement.
And realised that if he appeared on-screen, it could be construed as an endorsement of the tack Kamal takes in his film -- a tack the Sankaracharya is distinctly uncomfortable with. So the Mutt got in touch with Kamal's office and asked that the interview sequence should not be used in the film.
Interestingly, Kamal has given no such assurance -- and word from the actor-producer-director's camp is that Kamal is of a mood to use the sequence anyway, come what may. For now, 'no definite decision has been taken' about sums up Kamal Hassan's stand on the subject.
http://www.rediff.in/entertai/1999/nov/18hey1a.jpg While the above is fact, what follows is speculation. Subramaniam, you will recall, recently got married to premier playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy. And it was the Kanchi Sankaracharya who was approached to bless the couple's intentions and to suggest a suitable date. Now then -- did the Sankaracharya have a hand in Subramaniam's pulling out of the film?

The government too has to consider whether it's orders will pass judicial scrutiny.
Yes,there have been instances where states have banned books and movies but invariably the victims accept the decision.

Cinefan - this brand new problem of a minority grp calling for a ban is symptomatic of a much larger problem which if not addressed, will be disastrous - am as much concerned abt that as i am abt the release of the film.
if the film's release is delayed to appease one community, I can guarantee, the sangh parivar and others will take note of that, and will start protesting every other film that comes out - this will set a very very bad precedent for the whole country.

Well, if Kamal was really a Right-wing leaning person who offended Islam intentionally, there may be a case, but when a dispassionate Artist, who condemns all Religious dogma, makes a film - it has to be seen in the right perspective.
Atleast some sane voices within Muslim community should tell this to these protesters. But it is absolutely clear that the Fingers that control this round of "bommalaattam" is from Poes garden, who is using the Muslim groups protest to Fan a bigger Fire to engulf a "kalai Pokkisham" Kamalhassan as, Barathi Raja rightly said.
The Irony of being in a Disastrous situation, knowing whats happening, and feeling Helpless to do anything and alter a wrongful course, is being played all over again, after 2008-2011.

I don't think (hope) the ban is possible. Can RKFI really stop all overseas shows as well as the shows across India by tomorrow? If it gets released there, RKFI becomes insolvent as TN market is dead.
Somewhere people are forcing him to make some cuts in the movie and accept compromise. May be a bit selfish , if cuts are the only way the movie can come out, he should be smart to accept it. He has to understand that he cant do the business here by being 'fair and clean'.

i can't believe these things are being allowed to happen.
damn it - in 'Django Unchained', Django (Jamie Foxx) goes around killing every other white in the film - blood erupts all through the film - and the word 'n*gger' is used throughout the film - NOONE protested from any quarter in the US!
is this the way path to take for a progressive country ?? what happened to those leftist intellectuals who have no hesitation in voicing their opinion on anything and everything ??
just look at the language being used there - "thadai seyyaa vittaal, poraatathhil eedupaduvom", "ippadathai veliyittaal, maaberum sattam ozhungu prachanai yaerpadum" !! this is as good as saying, "ban the film's release - or else, we will create havoc" - a direct threat / blackmail to the govt !

Why should these DMK guys keep silent now? They can atleast condemn the efforts by Muslim groups to paint him like as if Kamal is from the Nagpur hell-hole!
------------------
But, Kamal should stop being subtle anymore when it comes to his art.
The interpretations of these islamic groups about Vishwaroobam is akin to Devars thinking 'Devar Magan" / "virumaandi" was about eulogizing Mukkulathor community!
Evlo pErukkuthAn "urai" ezhuthuvathu? "moolam" innum konjam eLimaiyA irunthA - no unwanted "guides" would be produced.

‘Vishwaroopam’ screening banned in Tamil Nadu for security reasons
S. Vijay Kumar
Hours ahead of its release, Kamal Haasan’s much-awaited Vishwaroopam was banned for two weeks in Tamil Nadu on Wednesday night.
Citing ‘law and order’ reasons, the State government took a decision to empower District Collectors to invoke Section 144 of Cr.PC and restrain theatre owners from screening the movie on January 25. Commissioner of Police S. George issued an order directing theatre owners not to screen the film to ensure peace and public tranquillity. The prohibitory orders would be in force for a period of two weeks, highly placed police sources said.
The ban on screening the film came on a day the Madras High Court ruled that the State government had no power to prohibit plays or insist on prior police permission to stage them. A similar ban on The da Vinci Code was struck down by the High Court a few years ago.
Scheduled to hit the screens on Friday, tickets in many theatres across the State were sold out. The decision to ban Vishwaroopam was taken after a high-level meeting at the Secretariat here. The move also followed allegations made by some Muslim organisations that the movie portrayed their religion in poor light.
Refund issue
The original plan to release the film on January 11 was also hit after theatre owners objected to Kamal Haasan’s move to make it available on the Direct-to-Home platform first. “It is up to the theatre owners to decide on refund. We fear clashes between protesters and Kamal fans if the movie is released. Adequate security arrangements will be in place to prevent any untoward incident near movie halls,” a senior police official said.
Vishwaroopam is also planned for release in Telugu on January 25 and in Hindi on February 1. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamaath in a statement thanked State government for banning the film.

I think 25th release still open as I guess the ball is on theater owners court and delaying the movie release at this point of time brings unnecessary consequences in terms of cancellation and refund of tickets that been booked. Let us hope for the best!

geno - very simple - India and Indian cinema DO NOT deserve a sophisticated genius like Kamal - what we DO DESERVE are punch dialog spouting stars, and directors who will give what the ppl want and maintain the status quo. And we shall continue to make 100s of films every year, with not a single one of artistic acclaim/quality and the world will never get to know our true artistic merits and we will continue to be clubbed with the usual bollywood stereotype that everyone outside india identifies indian cinema with !
having said that, the present situation can go one of two ways:
1. if VR comes out despite all of this unscathed, it will be a tremendous victory not just for Kamal, but also for other film-makers who are afraid to voice their artistic opinions on issues facing all of us;
2.if VR does get postponed - it is the worst thing that can happen - in every way - not only for Tamil cinema, but for Indian cinema - not because I think VR will be a benchmark in terms of quality and treatment etc - but because, something as benign as a movie can be used as a manipulative tool by bigots to further their interests and even blackmail a govt into bending to their demands - I didnt want to say it explicitly, but do you see where this is all leading to ?? if a bunch of idiots relying upon stoneage ideologies, unwilling to accept the realities facing them, can force the govt to ban a film's release, what is it that they cannot do in the future ?
damn it, they did not even approach a court to ask for a stay order - they make a blanket statement about creating havoc in the society and the govt machinery obliges ?? are you kidding me ? wont this encourage such fringe elements to actually take to arms tomorrow to threaten film-makers, poets, musicians over anything and everything ?? isnt that what the taliban is doing at an extreme level ? wouldnt it become a precedent for allowing some kind of a dangerous theocracy-based mindset to prevail successfully in a democracy ?
ada ponga sir, idhaiyellaam velippadayaa sonna, naan edho oru hindu right winger maadhiri kilambi varuvaainga.
but tell me, when was the last time, a film was actually banned by a govt coz it showcased a community in a bad way after that community threatened the govt ??
indha trend thodarndhaal, I can guarantee you - everyone here will look back in hindsight tomorrow with sadness - every single film will have to be screened to every single community/organization - the demands will start coming out -just wait and watch - its like the african wildlife documentary - cheetahs hunting with great skill and acumen near the waterholes when the summer dries up the water, while the lions and hyenas look to stealing their food, and in the end, fighting over the stolen food - you can replace the cheetah with the lions or the hyenas, and the scene wont change much ! wait until every other grp joins this bandwagon and tries to reap the spoils!

ajaybaskar - even if that were to be true, it does NOT take away the fact that a bunch of ppl expressed their thoughts tantamount to threatening the govt - thats the whole point / issue here.
so unless and until the concerned parties take back their statements, their true nature will be seen as being bigoted !
of course one can always ignore such cries, but if not addressed, they will continue to foment their hidden anger one way or the other

Now, if he makes one statement about Govt machinery not being co-operative at this juncture with him (he need not even say machinery is against him) - then he would get 1000 Arikkais from ADMK allakais, nakkal adichifying his acquiescence with Mu.Ka and Pa. Chidambram (shit tam baram whatever)

No Ban for Vishwaroopam in Pondicherry
http://www.dinamalar.com/News_Detail.asp?Id=632390
====
For stateside folk, the BayArea show (feat Kamal and crew) has been SOLD out prior to the ban news being in place. As of this writing, tickets for VR overseas is still open and hasn't been reflected from the TN 15-day bandh. News going around via twitter is that there is a chance that Overseas distr. will indeed play the film for stateside audiences (both 35MM and Digital drives have been received by distributors in US.) However, it all depends on whether QUBE sends the code to the theatres screening the film (or distributors). For now, I consider this unconfirmed, but I think the US folks will screen it come high or hell water as exhibitors will lose out heavily rent wise.
Secondly, if a TN Govt ban was put in place, Jaya TV would've announced it via Flash news. Member from Orkut says that no such news has come on till now.

Being his production venture he could have avoided this. I think the worldwide release will go ahead. Tamilians in Tamilnadu could go to neighbouring States and watch it.Hope for the best.

if the court does suspend the ban order on VR and VR gets released - and if some vested interests try to create problems in the theatres, they need to be taught a harsh lesson by the law - a lesson that will set an example for all of future.

What I heard from nambaththagundha vattArangaL was not a scene involving sankarachaya himself as the rediff article mentions, But the sanyAsa manthram. The one that Kamal chants in the renunciation scene in kAsi interspersed wonderfully with the family reading Saket's goodbye letter. Originally Posted by geno
Apparently it was through a source of the kanchi sankaracharya (reached through LS - who was a devotee with access to him) that the manthiram was learnt learnt. But he didn't want it to be read aloud in a make-believe scene and/or heard by all audience. When Kamal was insistent on defying him, he made LS pull out. Or so I hear.

puthiya talamurai still showing flash news that it is banned. Also says that only after removing the controversial scenes Govt will allow the release.
If scenes are removed I bet it is going to flop due to lack of continuity and then these stupid gangs will tell that people rejected the movie because it portrayed the best religion in poor light !

There is one difference between the two. In the case of the regressive elements in Thevars embraced it as an anthem because, to generalize, violence is considered as a community badge of honour. And that is what is politically advantageous too.
Whereas these TMMK reactions are in-line with a larger refusal to engage with the problems of Jihadism and deep-rooted suspicion of everything and vituperative accusations even on someone like Kamal. And that is what is politically advantageous for them.

but when a danish cartoon comes out depicting one certain religious head, the person who drew the cartoon and 10s of others bearing the same name as the cartoon creator, are under threat in Europe! and when a badly made movie on a certain religion comes out last year, the entire middle-east erupts in violence! when a certain Govind Nihalini (Indian film-maker) made a realistic ‘Tamas’ in the 1980s about the violence centred around India-Pakistan partition, the then ruling party in India hastily took it off the small screen for fear of losing the minority vote!"
if you still dont get it, you have a serious problem - so let me try with one more example closer home - when 'Arangetram' was released, the Brahmin community felt offended, but later acknowledged the inherent problems within the community - but none issued a threat to the film-maker (K Balachandar), or, the govt.
if you still dont get it, forget it - we will both move on

@Maddy again,
Will agree on one thing.On the face of it,looks like the government has bended backwards to appease but looking from their POV,maintaining law and order will be priority.
It's very easy to throw these thugs into jail because of the open threats they have issued but that will only aggravate the problem.
Think this is the best course it has taken.
Order a deferred release knowing fully well that legal remedy will be sought.If the court orders a release then all these guys will have no option but to obey unless they want to take on the country's highest legal authority.If they do,then the government will have full power to crackdown and nobody can play politics since court orders will be followed.
On this being an apology for UPO,was pissed off when such reports came out but better to hold judgement till it is watched.

I don't think he will hit a nadir. Probably it might force him to move permanently to hollywood. But you just cannot take cinema out of his life. Its like forcing cricket out of Sachin. The situation is terrible for sure. But the biggest casualties will be Indian cinema in general and specifically Tamil cinema and its fans if he is forced to shift bases. Originally Posted by Lat Sar

unfortunately, that doesnt seem to be the case with Kamal - poor guy, 30 plus fractures on his self through 50 years of dedication to cinema and neither the govt, nor, his kith and kin in the industry come to his support !

Romba analyze panreenga,unnecessary.
We do not know the financials,so what situation he will be in we do not know.
And why the hell will people drop him,is it that there were no takers for this film amongst the public?
Unfortunately it got into legal complications,that's all.
Let's focus on VR as of now and not do any crystal gazing,pls

selvakumar - in 'Apocalypto', Mel Gibson portrayed the mayans/aztecs as bloodthirsty savages and towards the end of the film, one of the mayan tribesmen nicknamed 'the Jaguar' escapes and reaches the coast - into the welcoming hands of the Spanish missionaries (conquistadors) - the implication was clear - from savagery, he was liberated into a new compassionate theology!
however, historically it was inaccurate - the difference between the time Mayans lived and the first Spanish visitors was at least a 100 years !
did any of the descendants of Mayans/Aztecs living in Mexico/US protest or issue a threat to Gibson (who IMO deserved all of that if there were any! but thats a different matter altogether), for wrongful portrayal of the temporal spacing of their history ??
no they did not.
if JW wanted, he can finance a short film showing the recent 'historical' inaccuracies in VR - who stopped him from doing so ?

to be honest, im quite disappointed..and if kamal has depicted reality, muslims dont have to feel offended

I already said not to listen to rumors and liars. Absolute nonsense Originally Posted by kumarsr

I actually saw them bringing 8 reels! Originally Posted by irir123

How can you come to ANY conclusion without even watching the movie? When you maje judgements like this it will tend to backfire on you. Originally Posted by MADDY

Contrary to many thoughts, its not about how terrorism breeds or even a solution about it.
The movie is totally non judgmental and is pure fiction based on historical facts.
Maddy may not like it. The wife and Kamal are Brahmins and eat chicken and commit forbidden things Originally Posted by Anban

As mentioned above. In Singapore it is released by overseas distributor and they have to accede to TN distributors request. Malaysia has its own distributors as the market is huge. I heard it is opening in more than 60 cinemas. Originally Posted by Cinefan

Unofficial Report
Good News!! Vishwaroopam's Ban Removed!!
Kamal Haasan’s appeal against the stay order preventing the release of Vishwaroopam tomorrow, has turned out in his favor according to sources within the Madras High Court. This means that the movie would now be releasing as planned from tomorrow onwards.
Judge Venkatraman has been chairing this hearing for close to three hours after the commencement at around 1 30 pm today. The lawyers who were arguing in favor of the government said that this is a similar case to the movie Dam 999 about the Mullaperiyar Dam issue. The High Court had earlier dismissed a petition seeking an overturn on the ban of this film.
Kamal’s lawyers argued back asking for any specific scene or dialogue in Vishwaroopam which was the bone of their contention. To this, the lawyers arguing in favor of the government didn’t have a proper riposte. Also, Kamal’s lawyers debated that when people in Qatar and Malaysia didn’t have any issue with the movie post the release in these countries, why did Tamil Nadu have to be an exception.
Kamal’s brother Chandra Haasan has been representing Kamal and this decision should come as a major relief for the Haasan camp as well as the millions of fans who are eagerly waiting for the release of Vishwaroopam.
When the judge proposed to Kamal’s camp if they can consider postponing the release of their film to 27th, considering the police’s concerns regarding law and order, Kamal’s side was said to be very stubborn and wanted to carry on with their earlier planned date of 25th. Both the parties have been very stubborn with their arguments and viewpoints, we hear.
On the whole, the expectations and hype have surely shot up since last evening when news of the ban first started leaking in.
An official announcement of this judgment is expected around 5 to 6 pm today.

I have this feeling that JJ will not give in easily. If it is Monday then it means they are buying time and they may end up going to SC - just to delay the release. I think it was a grave mistake to release the film in Malaysia. The movie is going to be there for downloading in a few hours time.

This is so irritating ...... More so because the movie has already released in some places...... You just cannot stop piracy in this day and age ..... Can Kamal work out a DTH plan now? Will DTH also come under the State Government law? I think since DTH works on a nationwide platform the ban cannot stop the DTH screening....This will atleast help in generating some revenue if the release is indeed officially postponed ......

From: Cinefan on 24th January 2013 06:01 PM [Full View]
Clearly high level politics at play.If the court had revoked the ban,because of the three day holiday,higher court could not have been moved.
Now,if HC revokes the ban,immediately SC will be moved and the process will start again.

It is better to release in other places like Kerala, AP, Karnataka etc.
Reasons:
1. As piraated copy will anyway spread, the revenue from other states will not get spoilt.
2. The word of mouth across India will influence the court judgement and 29th the movie may release in TN.
Otherwise the situation/pressure going to be same and further postponement or permanent ban may come.
3. Those idiots (or are they just tools in the hands of XX !!) will be exposed that they were making false statements on the movie.

Centre asks Tamil Nadu govt to reconsider ban on Vishwaroopam
Published: Thursday, Jan 24, 2013, 19:07 IST
Place: New Delhi | Agency: PTI
The Centre today asked Tamil Nadu government to reconsider its decision to ban the screening of Kamal Haasan's film Vishwaroopam saying the Supreme Court had in a verdict held that the censor board's view on such matters was binding on all.
"The Supreme Court of India in Prakash Jha's matter had the occasion of considering the various provisions of the Cinematograph Act and juxtaposing them against the law and order powers which the state government has under the Constitution," Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari said here.
"And the Supreme Court was very categorical that Article 246, seventh schedule, list one, entry sixty gives the central government the powers to certify films for exhibition and once the Central Board for Film Certification has taken a particular view, it binds all the other instrumentalities of the state," he added.
Tewari asked Tamil Nadu government to study the earlier verdict of the apex court before it acted in the matter.
"I suggest that Tamil Nadu government peruse that judgement of the Supreme Court in Prakash Jha's case before coming to any conclusion which may fall foul of the very clear directive which the court has given," Tewari added.
Tamil Nadu government had yesterday banned the screening of the big-budget Kamal Haasan film following protests by some muslim organisations against alleged depiction of their community in a negative light.

KH decision to go for Hollywood preview without understanding the ground realities that so many forces were working against him is one of the gravest mistakes that he had done.He could have been here and seen through the release and then fixed 31st as preview date for Hollywood for his hindi version,the hindi release would have been on the 1st . Second grave mistake he did was to show the movie to these fringe groups that too so close to release day. The other small mistake was canceling the rights given to vijay tv and giving to jaya tv. Then after the dth fiasco canceling the rights given to jaya tv and giving it back to vijay tv. Last mistake wishing Chidabaram to be next PM.

And one good thing is its not the Muslim outfit's lawyer but its govt's lawyer. Once kamal side wins, the govt lawyer may say to the outfits that court itself cleared and we can't do anymore.
And now in this gap, i hope the outfits shud not, and probably don't dare to appoint a lawyer for their side, becos it mostly won't stand legally. Even now the case is standing only becos of tn govt's support, i guess

I think part of it is due to R-Day coming on 26th. The govt wants to postpone any controversy till after its over peacefully. Coz this Jawaharullah a**hole was part of a more sinister group called SIMI and could have posed serious danger using Viswa.. as a ruse. But generally, this is not the vintage JJ that we were used to (her actions during CBE riots in ukkadam, etc..)something fishy..don't think they would be so petty about satellite rights and gone to this extent.

Maddy - I dont usually post like this - I consider myself a pacifist on these issues - but this time it has gone way too far - what next, will a threat to Kamal himself make you see the stark reality staring at you ??
you just dont get it after us giving so many examples, do you ??
you have every right to watch, criticize, appreciate a work of art, in whichever way you choose to - you got the freedom to do so - I can watch MR's films right from Pagal Nilavu and find flaws, or, appreciate / enjoy the nuances, from my perspective - or I can do so, as a group/community etc.
and if am pissed off with a film-maker because he showed one of my distant cousins-lookalike as a bad guy - I will write to the film-maker or a press release abt it.
But I wont threaten an elected body, the govt, with protests hinting at violence demanding that the film be banned since its against my ideology. And horror of horrors, the elected govt says ok and bans the film.
and the film is awaiting court clearance !!
do you see the multitude of problems here ?? are you even aware of the famous Shah Bano case from the 1980s, when a court ruling was overruled with another case by a political party for the sake of minority votes, which resulted in the right-wing gaining credibility, and growing from strength to strength in less than 5-6 years ? do you even see how disruptive, sectarian and divisive, one group's fastidious adherence to their stoneage ideology is, to an entire society/country ?
we have had the economic reforms, we have had affirmative action, we have had widow remarriage act implemented, and YET while the rest of the society keeps correcting itself, one group refuses to do, and ruling govts time and again nod their head indifferently, totally callous abt the perinicious effect of having one subset of the population lagging behind, a choice they made for themselves ??
we have all been trying to be as politically correct as possible here - much to the detriment of facts staring at us - so let me put it bluntly to you - do you want to see the talibanisation of India ?
of all people, why pick on a Kamal film ?? if there is one artist who is trying to do his best in balancing the rights/wrongs of every group in society, in as diplomatic a way as possible through his films, that is Kamal.
and its the same Kamal, who went out of his way to protest against the Babri Masjid demolition, or the Mumbai riots, when he could have easily maintained silence like what the celebrities like Amitabh Bachhan did and continue to do so.
aanaa, the Islamists will not take cognizance of those gestures - and instead, are showing their true colors branding Kamal a brahmin quoting Periyar's words to twistedly use it against him.
oh come on!
if you still dont see the huge difference in the attitudes/degrees of response between one particular group and the rest, then either you are being pretentious, or just fooling around.

Kamal should just release it with full force in the other states and worldwide. Due to piracy, etc., the boxoffice in TN may be impacted and he may lose money, but at least he have stood up to these people. If there is no problem in all those places, what defense will TN govt have?
The silence from the Tamil film industry is deafening. At least Prakash Raj and Kushboo have supported him. All the punch dialogue spouting and voice giving heroes have shown their true courage!
Who knew about this Jawaharulla guy before? But now, a lot of people know him. By targeting icons, these fringe elements get their time in limelight. Where are all the moderate muslims? Don't see anyone condemning this absurdity.

Surprisingly, Kamal has found support in Rajdeep Sardesai...he made some hard hitting comments against the ban.
The very loud voices that came in the support of MF Hussain's artistic freedom, when his paintings were vandalized by Communal Goons...are strangely silent now...
It is unfortunate that Kamal is fighting a lone battle...without any group to support him...

Rest of India,Tamil version-theriyadhu.
This TN ban has created lot of confusion.BO will be thanda a couple of days till WOM gets out.
TN is his natural and biggest market.Logically he should voluntarily stop release elsewhere but in this case there seems to be a very powerful force doing it's best to prevent the film from public view.
So he is doing the right thing by going ahead with a worldwide release but the path is not easy.

Not sure how much true ..but here are something i hear from others in another social media
This is from another friend , who is a muslimஅவர்களுக்கு படத்தை போட்டுக்காட்டுவது கமலாக எடுத்த முடிவல்ல... இஸ்லாமிய அமைப்புகள் தமிழக உள்துறை அமைச்சகத்திடம் கேட்டுக்கொண்டதற்கிணங்க, உள்துறை அமைச்சகம் கமலிடம் இந்த அமைப்புகளுக்கு படத்தை காட்டும்படி கேட்டுக்கொண்டதாம்...
ஜனவரி 11 ஆம் தேதி படம் ரிலீஸ் என்று அறிவித்ததும் முதலில் திரு.மேலை நாசர் அவர்களின் தலைமையிலான அமைப்பு தனது சந்தேகத்தை வெளிப்படுத்தி திரையிடும் முன்னர் எங்களுக்கு போட்டுக்காட்ட வேண்டும் என்று சொல்கிறது. பார்த்துவிட்டு ஒன்றும் பிரச்சனை இல்லையென்றால் அவர்கள் பிரியாணி வாங்கி ஏழைக் குழந்தைகளுக்கு அளிக்க வேண்டும் என்று கமல் சொல்கிறார். பிறகு படம் பார்த்த மேலை நாசர் என் சந்தேகம் தேவையற்றது எனவே பிரியாணி வாங்கித் தருகிறேன் என்று அறிவிக்கிறார். பிரச்சனை அத்தோடு முடிந்து ஜனவரி 11 ரிலீஸ் என்று முடிவாக்கின்றது. ஆனால் 10 ஆம் தேதி இரவு டி.டி.எச். பிரச்சனையால் ரிலீஸ் தேதி தள்ளிப்போகிறது. ஆக ஜனவரி 11 ஆம் தேதிவரை இப்போது பிரச்சனை செய்யும் தலைவர்கள் அமைப்புகள் எதுவும் சீனில் இல்லை. அதுவரை படம் பார்த்தது சென்சாரும்,மேலை நாசர் தலைமையிலான சுன்னத் ஜமாஅத் அமைப்பினரும் மட்டுமே. 11 ஆம் தேதி ரிலீஸ் ஆகாத நிலையில் அந்த வாரத்தில் நடந்த அரசியல் நிகழ்வு ஒன்றில் கமல் கலந்துகொண்டு வேட்டி,கட்டிய தமிழன் ப.சிதம்பரம் பிரதமராக வேண்டும் என்ற தனது ஆவலை வெளிப்படுத்துகின்றார். இதனால் ஆத்திரமடைந்த சிலர் தங்கள் தோழமை கட்சிகளாக உள்ள இப்போது பிரச்சனை செய்த அமைப்பை களத்தில் இறக்குகின்றனர். இன்னும் விளக்கம் வேணுமா?

Just asking, what is the enimity the Muslim comm is having on PC?! And just for a statement from kamal, will they ruin his finances? now the film postponing in TN and possibly in Srilanka and even some other places are surely a financial loss for him. He is now answerable for them. Originally Posted by joe

And also wondering, looks like this Kamal -> PC PM speech had even reached north! One north guy today mentioned this in NewsHour, as a reason for all this Ban drama for which Arnab Goswami straight away rejected its just a baseless speculation
Now allo this done and gone, if (as we all expected) the court clears the issue on 28th then Kamal has all the entitlement to file a defamation and loss of business suit against these guys for which they have to repay a bulk Crore. So will those muslim outfits and indirectly JJ too be ready to take that risk?!? Even if no case from kamal, isn't just a lift of ban a slap on face of all those Outfits?!

If Kamal wins the Ban i guess these outfits will try next plan ready. Someone said in TimesNow that they will go to Supreme court.
That apart, i am mostly sure that there gumbal is having another screenplay too, that kamal shud come for offline settlement and they will ask their demands(money or an apology for that PC to PM statement) and to make ppl beleive/silence/divert, they will force kamal to remove some thundu thukkadaa scene.
But given that the movie, in its current form, runs outer to TN from tomorrow, then these outfits have to really 'find' a reason becos ppl will give clean chit. Infact, much before the Judges watching on 26th, tomorrow itself many reviews will come and especially ppl will certify this as a non-problematic and give clean chit. Thats a bigger blow to trouble makers.
So rest of the India watching a tamil movie is a totally strange case which have never happened so far, i guess. So kamal's strong stance on fair and open minded stance and looking fwd to Court is in a way a whole new high to high integrity. Lets hope a superb lesson is taught by ppl of India, to the Outfits!

He had done propoganda FOR JAWAHIRULLA to defeat Hasan Ali - the then Ramanathapuram MLA and friend of Srilankan Pi*p muslims and Rajapakse. Selvamani pointed this out to jawahirulla, and he sheepishly smiled.
So, the diabolical effort by Sinhalese double agent to Slander specifically, tamil nationalists would only increase this quagmire.
Barathiraja questioned Actors non-chalance in participating in eelam agitation at Rameswaram in dec 2008 against Sinhalese army. Even he showers all praise on Kamal now calling him Pokkisham.
Balu mahendhra(originally from eezham) - the Guru for even Seeman, Bala, Ameer et al , and who is also a silent inspiration for the eezham group in film fraternity, showers his love and affection on Kamal.
Seeman spoke yesterday - that a few months agao when he (seeman) had a private meeting with Kamal, kamal lamented about M. Karunanidhi govt (then govt.) banning Da vinci Code and also the general ban in some countries on Passion of Christ. Kamal had quipped that Passion of christ is a brilliant Movie and it should be left to the people to decide on watchin/avaoiding it (All Mel Gibson bashers, take note!).
Seeman said "since Kamal avargal is a Rationalist - i can understand his viewpoint. But generally it is better to be cautious in this matters".
Seeman would be like that only - jawahirulla is no terrorist. He is a friend of tamil nationalist parties - he stood with them in eezham pOrAttam, mullaiperiyaaru agitation, anti-nuclear agitation etc etc.
No one is blaming Kamal for not openly siding in agitations like this - that doesnt make him an anti-tamil.
Infact i have said this before and even if he condemns tamil nationalism tomorrow - i will say this again " Kamal and Ilaiyaraja are the two most important kalai pokkishams of thamiz inam".
But RealPolitiks is different. Im sure truth is always bitter.
I now truly understand what it means to be a "nadai pinam".
Im reliving the same pain that i did when Mu.ka said "mazhai vittum thoovaanm vidavillai" and when he shook hands with Rahul G on May 19,2009.
Im sure Kamal would come out of this even Stronger, harder and Nobler.
Kamal Panju illai ; thangam - suttAl innum mEnmai peRum. Kamal oru vilaimathikka mudiyatha pon.
----------------------------
My biggest grouse is - where are the Periyarists - esp. in DK and DMK who know that Kamal had never been shy of showing himself a Periyarist, and participate in Sangh parivar and "holy cows" bashing - and where are the Film world Periyarists like Sathyaraj and Manivannan? - atleast these periyarists should have spoken out now. Did DK say something?
I strongly condemn these Periyarists for not even trying to speak for Kamal's integrity in matters of Religious dogma.

OPINION » EDITORIAL
January 25, 2013
Responsibility to protect
In banning the screening of Kamal Haasan’s Vishwaroopam for a period of two weeks, the Tamil Nadu government has recused itself from a fundamental responsibility — that of protecting the right to free expression. It has relied on the old chestnut — maintenance of law and order and public tranquillity — to justify the indefensible. That a clutch of fringe Muslim organisations had protested against the film, claiming to be offended by its alleged depiction of the community in a negative light, hardly justifies restraining its screening. If a threat of violence was anticipated, the right response would have been to ensure that the necessary security arrangements were provided to ensure its smooth screening rather than slap a temporary ban. Whether a film contains objectionable elements, and whether it may be screened or not, are decisions that vest with the Central Board for Film Certification, constituted under the stringent Cinematograph Act, 1952. It is difficult to believe that a film which passes through the process of pre-censorship with its rigid guidelines contains material that would upset the sentiments of a religious community and pose a real danger to public order.
It is a pity that such reflexive bans are imposed despite the courts reiterating time and again that a law and order threat does not justify such action. In 2006, the Supreme Court adopted this position while dismissing a petition seeking to bar the screening of The Da Vinci Code; a little later, the Madras High Court quashed the Tamil Nadu government’s order suspending the screening of the film on the ground that it “may lead to demonstrations and disturb the peace and tranquillity of the state.” The landmark case, which set the tone for these and related judgments is S. Rangarajan vs. P. Jagajivan Ram, in which the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the right of the former, a film producer, to releaseOre Oru Gramathile, which was critical of the reservation policy in Tamil Nadu’s educational institutions. In a stirring judgment that underlined that it was the duty of the state to protect the right to unpopular forms of speech, the court held that “freedom of expression cannot be suppressed on account of threat of demonstration and processions or threat of violence.” As it observed, this “would be tantamount to negation of the rule of law and a surrender to blackmail and intimidation.” Given the precedents, it is highly doubtful that the Tamil Nadu government’s ban on Vishwaroopam will withstand judicial scrutiny. In capitulating before those who protested against the film, the State has only passed the buck on its screening to the judiciary. Could this be exactly what it wanted?

This actually would be a Victory of sorts for the Hindutva bandwagon. They must be laughing with Glee at seeing the most Shining white Night of Periyarist legacy in the Filmworld - getting punched by the Mullah fatwas! - it is an irony and the sooner Periyarists realise this - better for them.

நான் ரோஷன் அவர்களின் கருத்திற்கே செல்லல. இங்கே நீங்கள் ஈழப் பிரச்சினையை சம்பந்தப் படுத்தி திமுக/ப.சியை சாடுகிறீர்கள். அது கமல்/விஸ்வரூபத்திற்கு எந்த வகையிலும் உதவப் போவதில்லை! இந்தத் திரியில் நீங்க அந்த தொனியை கொஞ்சம் குறைத்துக் கொண்டால் நல்லது. Its my humble opinion/request to you. Originally Posted by geno

Which means we can expect Sir to be in India only by 26/27th
Vishwaroopam U.S.Premiere Update:
All the Physical and Digital prints of Vishwaroopam were dispatched to all the locations for Tamil, Hindi and Telugu versions of Vishwaroopam very well in advance. Premiere shows of both the versions will be screened today Jan 24th as planned in all locations. Most of the locations have shows at 8pm local times. Please check respective websites for online ticketing as most of them already opened including premiere shows.
Also special shows with Kamal Haasan will be there as planned for Jan 25th FRI in Big Cinemas, Fremont and Pacific Comms Cinemark, Fremont, CA.
Fremont Big Cinemas show at 8pm on Jan 25th has been sold out within 2 hrs. after opening the booking irrespective of the special ticket price. Additional show at 8:15pm has been added due to this unexpected high demand.

Please don’t come without reservations for these special appearance shows to avoid disappointment!

While this is being cast by the media as muslim intolerance towards art, the real culprit is the TN government. Those fringe groups don't even seem to have coherent thoughts. What could they done? If the govt had just ignored those groups, nothing would have happened.
The haste with which the TN Govt acted on their request seems to indicate that they are orchestrating it. Looks like this is an attempt to teach Kamal a lesson and also warn other film personalities!
Rather than interview these idiots, the chief secretary and officials should have been called to explain their position on live TV.

Just read this so sharing:
சென்னை: விஸ்வரூபம் பட பிரச்சனையில் இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் உடனே உணர்ச்சிவசப்பட்டு ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்களில் ஈடுபடாமல், பிரச்சனையை பேசித் தீர்க்க முன்வர வேண்டும் என திராவிடர் கழக தலைவர் கி. வீரமணி வேண்டுகோள் விடுத்துள்ளார்.
இது குறித்து அவர் வெளியிட்டுள்ள அறிக்கையில் கூறியிருப்பதாவது, அனைவராலும் ‘உலக நாயகன்' என்றழைக்கப்படும் பெருமைமிகு நடிப்புத்துறை கலைஞர் கமலஹாசன், தமிழ் நாட்டின் அரிய கலைச் செல்வம் ஆவார். சிறுவயதிலிருந்து இன்றுவரை வளர்ந்துள்ள ஒப்பற்ற கலைத்துறை மாற்றுச் சிந்தனையாளர், மனிதநேயர், பகுத்தறிவாளர். அவர் பல வகையில் புதுமையைப் புகுத்த எண்ணுபவர்; எனவே, எதிர்ப்புக் காட்டுவது பழைமையையே கெட்டியாகப் பிடித்துள்ள நம் நாட்டவருக்கு இயல்பேயாகும்.
அவரது ‘விஸ்வரூபம்' என்ற திரைப்படத்திற்கு, இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்களையும், அவர்களது உணர்வுகளை சங்கடப்படுத்துவதுமான காட்சிகள் இருப்பதாகக் கூறி, ஆங்காங்கு இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்கள் நடத்துவது சம்பந்தமாக நமது அன்பான வேண்டுகோள்: இரு சாராரும் சந்தித்து தங்களது உணர்வுகளை ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பரிமாறி, புரிந்து கொண்டு, நட்புறவும், பல்வேறு சமூகத்தவர்கள், கலைஞர்களுக்கிடையே நல்லிணக்கமும் ஏற்படும்படிச் செய்வது தான் சரியானதாக இருக்க முடியும். அடிப்படையில் நண்பர் கமலஹாசன் ஒரு முற்போக்குச் சிந்தனையாளர்; யார் மீதும் வெறுப்பு கொள்பவர் அல்ல.
எனவே, அவரது திரைப்படத்தில் தெரிந்தோ, தெரியாமலோ, புரிந்தோ, புரியாமலோ இடம் பெற்றுள்ளதாக குற்றச்சாற்று கூறப்படும் நிலையில், இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் மட்டுமல்ல, அவர் ஈடுபட்டுள்ள கலைத்துறை, திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்கள் அனைவரது நல்லெண்ணத்தையும், பேராதரவினையும் பெறவேண்டியவர். இன்று அவர் விடுத்துள்ள உருக்கமான அறிக்கை பற்றியும் இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் சிந்திக்க வேண்டும். பேசித் தீர்வு காண முடியாத பிரச்சினையாக இது ஆகக் கூடாது. பல கோடி ரூபாய் முதலீடு என்பதைவிட முக்கியம், பல தரப்பு மக்களின் ஆதரவு என்ற முதலீடும் முக்கியம்.
எனவே, இஸ்லாமிய சகோதரர்கள் உடனே உணர்ச்சிவயப்பட்டு ஆர்ப்பாட்டங்களில் ஈடுபடாமல், பிரச்சினையை ஒருவருக்கொருவர் பேசித் தீர்ப்பதோடு, சமூகத்திலும், சட்டம் ஒழுங்குப் பிரச்சினைக்கு இடமின்றி நடந்து கொள்வதே அவசர அவசியம். இது தான் இரு தரப்பினருக்கும் நமது அன்பு வேண்டுகோள் என்று அவர் அதில் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

venkkiram - look no further than those 19 hijackers who rammed the planes on to concrete walls on 9/11
"....Mohamed Atta's luggage did not make the connection from his Portland flight to American Airlines Flight 11. In his suitcase, authorities found a handwritten letter in Arabic. As well, a handwritten letter was found at the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and another in Hazmi's vehicle. When examining Mohamed Atta's left-behind luggage, the FBI found important clues about the hijackers and their plans. Atta's luggage contained instructional videotapes for flying large aircraft, a fuel consumption calculator, and a flight plan, along with a copy of the Quran. His luggage also contained papers that revealed the identity of all 19 hijackers, along with a copy of Atta's last will and testament. The passport of hijacker Abdulaziz Alomari was also found in Mohamed Atta’s left-behind luggage...."

venkkiram - I can get really deeper into this and end up more than just ruffling feathers. Just go online and read the reports available in independed research opinion polls as well as blogs - you will know for yourselves.
Or simply read "The End of Faith" by Sam Harris - if you dont have time to read, you may also listen to the audiobook here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8bBA...e=results_main
its an indictment of most religions / dogma and how a combination of lack of rational enquiry and acceptance of dogma is proving to be increasingly dangerous to this world.

This is their chance to be in the limelight. The NDTV interviewer got it right - she pretty much ridiculed the guy and told him that maybe he shouldn't have been given the chance to be on TV! Originally Posted by irir123

Even the high court judge - why does he need to watch the movie when the censor has certified it? If needed, he should have called the censor folks.
In this whole episode, one thing I liked is that Kamal didn't cancel the worldwide releases and go running back to meet the CM. He may lose some money but he will emerge stronger and will be held in higher esteem. If the movie does click in other places, the TN govt will have egg on its face.

Dear all, this is my first post in mayyam. I have been a silent reader for many years. This issue has made me to post my first message to support Kamal sir. I watched the movie in Malaysia yesterday. There is nothing in the movie linking Taliban or terrorism with India. Certain cities in Tamil Nadu were mentioned as to justify Taliban (Rahul Bose) speaking Tamil. I believe he (Kamal sir) done so as to ensure tamil speaking people understand the movie.Sad to see his good intention shown in bad light. I don't want to reveal any spoiler here. Overall the movie is a roller coaster ride! Valgha Kamal Sir.

While speaking to an important fan, he said, அப்டியே சுப்ரீம் கோர்ட்டுக்கு போய்ட முடியாது சட்ட சிக்கல்கள் இருக்கு, இந்த கோர்த் அனுமதிச்சாத்தான் என்கிற மாதிரி சொன்னார். எந்தக்கோர்ட்டுக்கு போய் மேல் முறையீடு செய்தாலும் பலனில்லை என்பதுபோன்ற தீர்ப்பினை சென்னை உயர்நீதிமன்றம் வழங்கமுடியுமா, சட்டம் தெரிந்த அந்பர்கள் சொன்னால் தேவலை Originally Posted by Stardust

Nachiketa and Venkkiram:
instead of crying hoarse abt the injustice/persecution being meted out on them, the groups that called for the ban might do themselves a big favor if they,
(i) take cognizance of what is being done to brainwash kids in neighboring pakistan, afghanistan, and yemen and even in egypt,
(ii) and based on these - in the future, insulate their children against the hate culture likely being propagated by the imams in the madraasaas.
They have the perfect freedom within India to get themselves educated and work towards reforming their own ideologies - if not, at least be fully aware of how certain aspects of their ideologies can be exploited by some of their own as well as politicians, to manipulate their own.
from that perspective, movies like VR shd be eye-openers for them and not an infringement of their collective sanctity

Just back from the Movie. Awesome is the word. Not even a single minute is wasted. The dance sequence seemed a little long. Other than that I have no complaints. Per my wife (who hates violence in movies) said... No unwanted violence. I think this is the reality. Kamal - the director - comes out successful. No unwanted scenes to display Kamal - the actor's acting skills. Rahul Bose has come out with a neat performanc. Pooja has an author backed role. Everyone else does an adequate job.

'blood is thicker than water' - all thats required is a little bit more effort to spread rumors abt the alleged anti-islamic elements of the film - English is not the issue here - not that English is the preferred language in other countries where Islam is mainstream/major religion.

so wait for another week - depending on how this matter takes turn to be, it will get mention on sites/news sources like that and it will spread throughout the world like wildfire!

Just came out from theater. Must watch. Class act. Flawless. I hope they don't edit this in any ways for Tamilnadu audience.
Kamal sir : you made all your fans proud and set a new standard and expectation for your movie. You no longer have the luxury to act in "local" movies. Waiting for V2.

After hearing all the reviews I really want to watch the complete version.
We know what happened to Hey Ram.
Even in Manmadhan Ambu, chopping the poetry part spoiled the continuity.
Hopefully when the DVDs get released, it should have the original version.

விஸ்வரூபம்..
உண்மையிலேயே விஸ்வரூபமா வளர்ந்த ஒன்றை ஆட்கொண்டதுபோல ஒரு நிறைவு. படம் பார்த்த திருப்தி உடம்பில் உள்ள ஒவ்வொரு திசுவிலும் நிறைஞ்சிருக்கு இப்போது. ஆக்கம் என்றால் இதுதான். "படம் தொழில் நுட்பத்தில் சிறந்தது" என்ற ஒரே ஒரு டெம்ப்ளேட் வாக்கியத்தை விடவும், கதை/திரைக்கதை/இயக்கம் எல்லாமே ரணகளம். கமல் இந்த முறை கையில் எடுத்திருப்பது நாம் இதுவரை பார்த்திராத களம். அதனால் அடுத்து என்ன வரும்? என்ன வரும் என்ற ஆச்சர்யங்கள் கடைசி வரை. ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியையும் பகுப்பாய்வு செய்ய ரசிகர்கள் ஆரம்பித்தால் அது இன்னொரு விஸ்வரூபம் எடுக்கும். பரமக்குடியில் முளைத்த விதை விஸ்வரூபம் வரைக்கும் எழுச்சி கொண்டதே விஸ்வரூபம்தான்.

Nothing will hurt Muslims.
Kamal set out expectation for part 2. Don't watch in DvD. Watch this in a GOP theater. This movie deserve that respect.
I would rate this at par or above any Kamals best movies so far.

Nov Velan Arshad ... nothing could be further from the truth. Kamal is a known sympathiser of Muslim causes. He is the last person to show Islam in the bad light.
Go for the movie - its an action packed thriller with terrorism as its background. You are in for a surprise!

The city unit of Jamiat Ulama approached the Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma on Thursday seeking a ban on the film ‘Vishwaroopam’ produced by noted actor Kamal Haasan.
The film was slated for release on Friday across the world. Jamiat Ulama spokesperson, Mohd. Ubedur Rahman, said that the film shows Muslims in poor light and brands them as terrorists

I only hope that not every state govt demand the film to be screened to its own high court before a judge !
TN konjam paravaalla - anga hyderabadla Owaisi brothers gumbal onnu irukku - avanga 10 times worser and are openly fundamentalist ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbaruddin_Owaisi
so following the great example set by TN govt, its not surprising that concerned ppl are asking for a ban in AP as well !
man - oru cinema padathukkey indha nilamainnaa ??
but in a way, its good that Kamal made a film like this because all the things that have happened have shown the true colors of different people!
Its a big warning to all of us, abt what is in store for us for far more important bigger things!

They can only start..but this can happen only when aided by dirty politicians, bhai-bhai feelings, and spineless bigwigs in the film industry, which can happen vonly in TN Originally Posted by pushpak
Utterly shameful to say the least especially when the neighboring states were willing to screen to packed houses making it a definite blockbuster.
The Tamil film industry's silence (except for Prakash Raj and 1-2 others) is MORE shameful reminds me like in Bala's Pradesi - only a human can have slaves..as they are willing to be.
My request to Kamal fans is, I feel YOU fans are his "real" strength at this hour..not even law (else, the verdict (release) should have been out yesterday!) and NOT his Tamil film industry.
Only YOU fans can defeat the (purpose of these) bad elements. The main affect of the delay is collections and only you must/can undo that loss. Join hands together, to makeup for these 4 days delay in movie release, spread the news that all of you will watch the movie +1 times more than you normally would, and make it a BB in TN. You MUST let Kamal know about your (this) support by tomorrow
Just get all fans (through internet) together, spread the word and make this happen. (This may sound silly at first, but works. Always remember, IR's Thiruvaasagam was made possible/funded by IR fans contributing more than 1 crore Rs. from across the world..besides the minor glitches! Probably the only artiste/artiste's fans to have this kind of honor/achievement in the world! When the going gets tough, an artiste's real strength is his/her "fans" - US).
This is the only way to resurrect some honour/maanam for TN people now..inspite of/without having to rely on elements (fringe groups, politics, law etc.) outside our control.
I feel we MUST make this (make film a BB and silence the fringe groups) happen to keep our pride/honor intact as normal citizens first, and as Kamal and Tamil movie fans.

No irir... set very high expectation (lets say a speilberg or cameron or a classic james bond movie or a classic denzil washington action movie).. this will beat your expectation. With this movie, Kamal has set himself to a level that he seriously has to work hard to meet/beat anymore.

This is movie in nutshell (no spoilers!!!!)
0:00:00 Title - Whistle
0:03:00 - Kamals Intro - Whistle, Clap, some girls going WOW
0:15:00 - Viswaroopam Intro - Whistle, Clap, some crazy noise from people who never made sound in theater until now, some wohooo, some wow... some raised eyebrows, someone holding their heart beat
0:16:00 - 2:30:00 - Pin drop silence... occassional clap/whistle, but usually quite and on the edge of the seat
2:31:00 - Standing ovation, some disappointment that the movie ended in 2.5 hrs, some planning on when to repeat the movie next and everyone saying "I cant wait for part 2"

No silly kamal business like kissing, romantic look/song etc. this is as serious as you want a movie to be. Initial romantic intro and Unnai Kanaamalae and Kathak dancer intro was critical for the aah-haa moment when viswaroopam enters the movie. from there you are in for a big surprise. if you are not surprised after seeing the movie, I will send you a TIS CD

AFAI can see around, the VR issue is creating a lot of sympathy for KH, helping him to win back his long lost admirers. For instance, my dad, who has been a very vocal critic of KH for almost 2 decades, was thoroughly sympathizing with him last evening. He spoke to me on this for close to 15 mins, and even suggested that if at all the movie doesn't get released, we should send 'a few thousand' rupees to KH so that he doesn't end up bankrupt. I had similar thoughts even before my dad voiced it out. I am sure there are thousands, if not lakhs of people out there who share a similar perspective. WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN, MR KAMAL HAASAN....

I am not supporting whatever Seeman says. But his speech is one of the most sensible speeches at this time. Look at the way he gradually builds up his points. I would want to know how many in the film industry would have protested for what happened to Kutra Pathirikkai. So, he is 50-50 and applies it on case to case basis. Most of us would do the same. Now, I'm thinking whether I should revisit my opinion on Dam 999..

Seeman's POV is like this.. He is in two minds. He quotes davinci code and what kamal said to him. Then he quotes Kutra Pathirikkai and condemns the lack of freedom in India. After that he says we can't also allow if someone makes insane films like supporting caste violence and other things. Come on guys.. All of us would do the same.

possible verdict: HC may suggest some cuts and if RKFI accepts, it may cut the scene and release it on 1st Feb.

Hindi version will release simultaneously on 1st feb. what will happen to DTH on 2nd feb has to be seen since tamil theater owners need one week run before dth.

I guess at max 2 or 3 dialogs and scenes. The rest all seems cannot be touched i guess, going by the reviews so far. And he wud have clearly kept this scenario in mind while writing the film, so that the film comes unaffected out of these cuts. Hope there are no cuts Originally Posted by Lat Sar
Mostly no ban from court, if fair play is allowed for the Judge. In that case it seems they cannot go to supreme court etc. Bcos so far its Govt on the oppn side and it cannot go to supreme court. And the outfits have never tried any legal means so they cannot appeal in court directly. All this, if the Judgement happens fair and the movie gets clean chit. Originally Posted by Lat Sar
Otherwise, if the govt and these outfits try to force kamal to come for underground discussions, i don't know what will be the outcome... hopefully that won't happens. All depends now on ஜட்ஜையா!

I don't think the movie will be released again in Malaysia. It's elections time and it's dangerous for them to antagonise the Indian Muslims here.
Not allowing it to release is safer as no vote will be lost by banning the film.

come on bro, Dr. Krishnaswami opposed the TITLE of the film 'Sandiyar', not the CONTENT. Despite all the seeming bravado speech in the now popular YouTube video, KH actually succumbed to the pressure and changed the title. and KH is treating this Muslim group also the same way as he dealt with Dr.K. I don't see any discrepancy in the way he handled both these issues... Originally Posted by selvakumar

Kamal's use of the word is 'cultural terrorism' in his response is very apt...
Now consider this scenario..If a fringe Hindutvaadi loony group or leader makes a demand that Sanskrit be made compulsory in all schools ...or a Hindu religious Guru says that rape victim is equally responsible for the rape...and says that a mantra would have saved her....most of the 'normal' Hindus do voice out their protests... in whichever state they are...or whichever party they belong to...
Heck, I don't even think that they are responding as 'Hindus'...they just respond as any sane person would do.
But when the likes of a Jawahirullah starts to throw muck...the intellectuals of the Islamic community, do not raise their voice... or do not raise it loud enough...
By keeping quiet, not only do they give more strength to such fringe elements...but the whole community is sort of painted as 'intolerant'.
IMO, for such cultural terrorism NOT to grow in India, the ONLY way is for the 'moderates' to silence the 'extremists' in their midst...
The Brinda Kaarats ...or the Sitaram Yechuris among the Muslims have to voice out more...
I hope this is not construed as a classic Hindutvaadi or a anti-minority stance...I will be glad to be corrected.

Chennai: Southern superstar Rajinikanth has appealed to Muslim groups in Tamil Nadu to help actor-director Kamal Haasan in releasing his film "Vishwaroopam."
The 95-crore thriller was to be released today but has been banned by the Tamil Nadu government to "protect communal harmony" after some groups objected to the portrayal of Muslims in the movie. The Madras High Court has said it will decide on the film's future on Monday after a judge reviews it over the weekend.
"I request Muslim brethren to give up their demand to ban Vishwaroopam," Rajinikanth said today. "Please discuss with Kamal how to make changes without affecting the storyline," he urged.
Kamal Haasan held a special screening for leaders of Muslim groups recently, but did not persuade them to drop their campaign against the movie. "Kamal's screening for Muslims before the theatrical release shows his love and regard for them," Rajinikanth said.

Only 3 theatres have opened online bookings so far - Urvashi, Vision and rockline. i checked out others like PVR, Inox. But, they haven't listed out yet. They would start sooner I guess. Originally Posted by pushpak

We "get" or "dont get" really depends on what we seek. And if everyone has the same or fixed views we all would be zombies, don't we. Atleast your cousin is bold enough to give his view rather than just accepting whatever was served to him by his idol. Originally Posted by Unmai Vilambi

i pray to almighty he was having heavy hang-over coupled with migraine while watching it!
Like Geno and myself had discussed a month back, it all depends the amount of education and understanding to the subject.
And for the BO Status, dont worry. Its buisness, like fishing ... Sura illa na era ... And lets not get into the childish discussions on BO status. It may be a trend today but its useless and baseless.
Just relax and like me, wait to watch the movie and enjoy.

Comment of Rajini's support (am a bit late ...)
Think he just wished to register his support by this lettre. As usual, the content on whole is not so clear, but there is a msg deep inside it softly spoken not to hurt anyone.
I consider it to be a plea too late, or maybe he did try to do some backstage arragement and gave moral support/inputs to Kamal ji, but found that the time is ripe to record his support.
Anyway, a gentle and appreciated support from Superstar. Hope he does not backup or give "confused" press meet to explain things if he is verbly attacked too - Remember the episodes for clapping in Ajith's supports ...

A neutral review http://movies.fullhyderabad.com/vishwaroopam/telugu/vishwaroopam-mov
Vishwaroopam Review
Deepa Garimella / fullhyd.com
EDITOR RATING4.0
There is something wrong with a movie if the interval feels like the end, and the end feels like the interval.
Vishwaroopam is a Kamal Hasan film minus the megalomania. Which, in retrospect, was a bad idea, since the movie is now only slightly more interesting than a documentary on making documentaries. To call Vishwaroopam a "thriller" would be about as accurate as calling Manmohan Singh a stuntman, so you can put the seatbelts away.
Kamal Hasan opens his act by playing an effeminate dance teacher Viswanath, whose exaggerated femininity makes his wife, Dr. Nirupama (Pooja Kumar), cringe. Nirupama, "understandably," has an extra-marital fling with a boss who makes shady payments to the Middle East. Nirupama has no clue that something is wrong.
Meanwhile, she has also set a private eye to snoop around in Viswanath's life. The private eye stumbles upon something strange, but things get stranger from here on.
Vishwaroopam deserves appreciation for dealing with the issue of terrorism head-on and in such detail. The film spends half its time in an Afghan hideout - where people speak Arabic and not the strange Telugu-Deccani mix that our directors would have us believe - and these are the meatiest parts of the story. Rahul Bose shares the limelight with Kamal Hasan here, in a poignant narrative that weaves together two sides of the terror coin - the morbidity of jihad, and the tragedy of the death of innocents.
The terror outfit in question comprises men and boys who are groomed from a very young age - as depicted by a little boy who hasn't learnt to shave yet but can recognize the make of a gun while blindfolded. The men look at themselves as warriors, and not as antagonists of world peace. Behind their seething bitterness is the pain of loss, and a need for "revenge".
Kamal attempts an intelligent conversation about the subject of terror, but he doesn't make it very interesting. He's telling us things about terror we already know, in a way that doesn't exactly change your life. The whole spy thing is not very thrilling anyway. One of the few times Kamal excites audiences is when he breaks out of his womanish act and suddenly starts kicking butt. For a movie touted as an action masterpiece, such moments are too few and far between.
The movie, on the whole, has the consistency of molten lead - it is dead s-l-o-w. By the time the interval lumbers in, you feel a week older. Ironically, the movie's ending feels incomplete, and there is no sense of closure when the credits roll.
Kamal Hasan, well, is as Kamal Hasan as Kamal Hasan can be. There are no facial contortions, thankfully, except for the dance teacher segment, which, frankly, can be freaky to watch since the man has aged now. In the rest of the movie, though, he is disappointingly understated.
Rahul Bose has a lot of screentime, and is good to watch. Nasseer is a fine actor, as always, and Shekhar Kapur is good, but doesn't have much to do. Pooja Kumar is expressive, but her dubbing can get slightly artificial and annoying.
Kamal's attention to detail is pretty evident in the way the Afghan villages have been recreated and shot. The villages look legit, the mountains are gorgeous, the dressing is authentic, and the bombing scenes have been executed well. However, the parts that are shot in New York (or whatever was passed off as NYC) are bleak, wintry and gloomy, lacking the vibrancy of Middle Eastern turf.
The songs aren't distractions, and are suitably woven into the movie. The title song can become an earworm, though.
Meanwhile, all the fuss over all the "objectionable" content is misplaced, unless you think discussing al-Qaeda is taboo. (Although, if you ask us, Manmohan Singh might want to protest against his voice being mimicked in a phone conversation between Vishwaroopam's protagonist and "the Indian PM"... for being more life-like than in real life.) The violence and the depiction of blood are quite graphic (while not very aesthetically shot), and you might want to keep the kids at home.
Watch Vishwaroopam if you're a die-hard Kamal Hasan fan. The rest can wait to catch it on television.

As a kamal fan, past two days has been the darkest. So So frustrating...Even during watching some "absolutely fantastic out of the world" scenes in the movie, I was feeling sorry for him. For the kind of effort he has put in...

Having watched the movie, I can personally say that the movie has nothing offensive for muslims in India. Kamal and VR are being played like a football by vested interests in TN and others. I feel like spitting on the face of these morons.
The context of the movie is International terrorism. It is a racy, spy thriller , very much like a hollywood movie, except that Hollywood would not set it in the milieu that VR is set in. In that sense, it is very original viewpoint. KH should try to sell this movie to a US movie house and screen it all over the world especially US and UK). Has English subtitles and a number of dialogues are already in English. An investment of something like 8 mil USD would go a long way and KH can recover a major portion of his money.

IMO, this film should not be seen only as action thriller mode. The slowness of some scenes adds enough impact to the script. Because in real time, such planned executions are not happening at an action thriller speed. வேகம் கொடுக்க வேண்டிய நேரத்தில் சீறிப் பாய்ந்தும், மெதுவாகச் செல்ல வெண்டிய நேரத்தில் மெதுவாகவும் பயணிக்கும் ஒரு பயணம், வாகனம்.

Looking at the reviews,I think KH as missed a trick should have made english version of the movie and release it in western countries,Aus and NZ .Even if the english version collect below average still he would have been able to recover the money considering the movie would have had another 3 version so easily the movie would have got back his investment.

Got a chance to watch it in the US. Kamal excels in casting the right people (as always). Even Pooja on whom I did not have much hopes on is doing a good job. Rahul Bose simply excels. Jaideep too. Another key point is the visual effects. Most of foreign locale is basically shot in Chennai (with the exception of a couple of scenes in Jordan). So much graphics work in all these scenes, meeting hollywood standards. Background music is another +ve aspect. I did not even realize when the real songs came -- most are background songs, except for the dance number. Originally Posted by Cinemarasigan

True... When someone is openly threatening to cause violence if the film is screened, then the government needs to take action against that person instead of banning the innocent film. Otherwise, the government either doesn't have the guts or it has some hidden agenda. Originally Posted by joe

Looking at the speed of action taken, the ban indeed looks like a planned move...If it is true, then this poses an even bigger danger....That means, in the future, this can happen again ...

oh yeah, as per Anban's casteist way - kadal will be saved by brahmins - so no worries
Maddy - while i understand Kamal's walking the razor sharped edge of a tight walkrope over a pit of vipers and cobras might be ambiguous, to say he is paying the price for stereotyping one group is ridiculous to say the least.
dont you see it ? back in the 1970s, K Balachander made a film 'Arangetram' portraying a poor brahmin family, in which the eldest daughter takes to prostitution to save/feed the family - a very young Kamal played one of the siblings; the film elicited outrage from the brahmin community in TN then; however, they didnt take to the streets or approach the govt to impose a ban; in fact, chose to do some introspection abt the ground reality in their own community.
I am not supporting Kamal for his decision to screen VR to these morons, in fact, am mightily pissed off that he did so - yes he did bend over backwards to appease one community - just like how the f*****g politicians have been doing since Independence, which resulted in the infamous Shah Bano case (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shah_Bano_case) - how many ppl even KNOW abt this monumental horror that happened in our immediate past in independent India ? - followed by the central govt creating a separate law for the muslims - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mus...orce)_Act_1986 - how many people in India even understand the horrible consequences this law continues to have on the status of women in the Muslim community, who have been forcibly kept ignorant, and helpless only because the govt played hand in glove with the idiot imams and minority leaders ??
and it is these same imbeciles and morons who have been allowed to carry the throne of their stoneage theology, misogynistic ideology, while the rest of the Indian society is already struggling to come to terms with reforming many of its ills - for way too long, under the pretext of 'they are our brothers', they have been given the free reign to do whatever they please to do - and each time, a secular group comes out questioning the validity of these govt actions, they have been repeatedly branded anti-minority - my a**!
this has been going on for a long time - Kamal is as much a victim of a culture of political correctness as we all frea*ing are - at least he dared make a HEY RAM, which tried to show both sides and their heinous acts in a factual manner - how many Indian filmmakers have had the guts to call a spade, a spade ??
pls dont tell me MR can do it - his political correctness and naiveté of MUMBAI and DIL SE were hilarious to say the least - ROJA was probably his best attempt (again MR's best attempt, not one of the best attempts in world or Indian cinema on realistically highlighting a deeply political problem surrounding territorial rights) - in my books, MR does not come across as a deep thinker or an intellectual as Kamal has time and again proved himself to be - if there is someone in Indian mainstream cinema who can make a film like 'Mississippi Burning', or a 'to kill a mocking bird', that will be Kamal.
if Kamal chooses to make a film on how the Indian (read "innocent") Peace (read "people") Keeping (read "killing") Force went around mass raping, looting ethnic tamils, under the Indo-Sri Lanka Peace Accord, under the machinations of Romesh Bhandari (unfortunately Rajiv Gandhi who was nothing more than a novice in political matters took the flak and ultimately lost his life to one of the rape victims!) - it will be a slap on the face film with facts - but then he would become a political pariah in India - maybe he will do it once he shifts to LA, if he does.
Our cinema has forever been sugar-coated candy BS - and its not surprising that we make perhaps (am being subjective here) the worst films in the entire world cinema - in terms of the no of films made vs the no of films that can be called reasonably good !
Kamal stands out amidst all this rubbish - and yes he might have bent backwards to accomodate the Muslim interests - but at least, he made an honest film (havent seen it yet, but from reports here and elsewhere, thats I visualize it as) - in fact, once I watch the film, I would probably come to an inference that maybe he ought to have been MORE HONEST than that!
so - from the perspective of him being bold enough to handle a theme like this, he can be pardoned for screening the film to certain groups - but even there, he has (hopefully) opened our eyes to the ground reality facing not just TN, but India - softpedalling the communal issue will only aggravate the existing problems - to continue to indulge in the rhetoric of 'bhai-bhai' is totally rubbish - lets face it - we are NOT 'bhai bhai' - at least the scriptures clearly refer to non-believers as Kaafirs - the 'bhai bhai' sentiment that still prevails is ONLY because most ppl within the geographical confines of India share similar genetic and cultural ancestry - in other words we live this well together so far NOT BECAUSE OF religious harmony, BUT IN SPITE OF THE LACK OF it, because by its very fundamental nature, religion and harmony dont go together - philosophers and social scientists are struggling hard to make this ground reality clear to people all over the world, but are not making much headway.

Twitter, FB and other medium provide a platform for people to oppose this ban, which is happening.
Separately, a KH defense fund has to be initiated by the man himself. He will suffer huge financial loss with this movie, no doubt. So I think this will be necessary.

There are few high quality reviewers in rediff (or for that matter any portals / magazines / newspapers). The point is not that. All we need at this time is to avoid any negative propaganda and even a negative line can magnify the current problem. Keeping that in mind, any positive news can only boost the morale.

Can we stop with 'in films xyz Hindu gods/scriptures' were mocked we handled it well, type patting on the back.
There are two type of people who say this. Ones who wish that Hindu Munnani should succeed in bullying like TMMK.
The second group say: 'see that's how tolerant we are and they are not'. They fail to see that the 'they' here is TMMK and the political system that allows them. But instead these people conflate into the general 'muslims are less tolerant' argument - thus playing exactly into the hands of what these religious-politics want.
This is a pure political stunt stoking religious emotions. Recognize it for that and refuse to yield to it. Else, they win.
When the world watches this and asks 'what was all the fuss about', I hope the media doesn't forget to ask Jawahirullahs 'why the hell did you create a ruckus!'

Unless one is absolutely confident about his abilities, this particular story can't be handled by some especially coming from Indian cinema where people hardly do research in Cinema. But Kamal is the only guy who could have possibly done this genre from India and he succeeds extremely well with that. For those who say this movie is against muslim it is actually against western world. Because Kamal has shown both sides(good and bad) of islamic world but only bad side of western world. Kamal always amazed us by his acting, dance, comedy and action skills. But here he proved that he is not only the most versatile hero in Indian cinema but also the most versatile film maker in Indian Cinema. People talk about the movie getting slowed on parts especially after interval but it was absolutely required because the script requires some attention when other mindless end to end action thrillers don't need that kind of attention. It is very hard to compare this movie with other cult classics of kamal such as Thevar magan, Mahanadhi, Hey Ram and Virumandi because of the genre. But it is possibly the most challenging work Kamal has ever done which might have required more research than anything else. I can't find anything wrong with this movie. Movies like this don't come often so watch it when you can because it is truly world class in not only presentation but in content as well.

I dont think there was a discussion of whether you are/were desperate to watch the movie. My point was while all right minded people oppose the ban and the threats, there is a need to think ahead about financial consequences. Originally Posted by irir123

எனது பெருமதிப்புக்குரிய இஸ்லாமிய நண்பர் அப்துல்லா முகநூலில் தெரிவித்தது
விஸ்வரூபம் படம் தொடர்பாக கடந்த இருநாட்களாக நான் தெரிவித்த கருத்துக்கள் தொடர்பாக நான் அதிகம் விமர்சிக்கப்படுவதை அறிவேன். முதலில் ஒரு விசயத்தை தெளிவுபடுத்துகின்றேன்.. கமலஹாசன் எனக்கு மாமனோ மச்சானோ அல்ல. விஸ்வரூபத்தை புறக்கணிப்பதும், போராடுவதும் நமது ஜனநாயக உரிமை. ஆனால் 7கோடி மக்களின் பிரதிநிதிகளாக நம்மை நாமே கற்பனை செய்துகொண்டு நமக்குப் பிடிக்கவில்லை என்பதால் ஒட்டுமொத்தமாகத் தடை கோருவதும் பச்சை ஃபாசிசம்.
இதை நான் சொன்னதற்குத்தான் என்னை சொந்த சமூகத்தைச் சேர்ந்த துரோகி, இனத்தை கெடுக்க வந்த கோடாரிக் காம்பு என்றெல்லாம் பட்டம் சூட்டுகின்றனர். அதிலும் ஒருவர் என்னை... ஒரு இஸ்லாமியப் பெற்றோருக்குப் பிறந்த என்னை...5 வேளை தொழுகின்ற என்னை... ஒரு இஸ்லாமியப் பெண்ணை மணமுடித்த என்னை... என் குழந்தைகளுக்கு இஸ்லாமியப் பெயர் சூட்டி இன்றும் குரானைக் கற்பித்துக்கொண்டிருக்கும் என்னை... நீ இஸ்லாமியனே அல்ல என்று பதிவு போடுகின்றார்!! இஸ்லாத்தை சரியாகப் புரிந்ததால்தான் இந்த நிலையை எடுத்தேன் என்று அந்த மூடர்களுக்கு எப்படிப் புரியவைப்பது என்று தெரியவில்லை.
மீண்டும் என் நிலைப்பாட்டைச் சொல்கிறேன்... கமல் இஸ்லாத்தை,இஸ்லாமியர்களை அவமதித்து இருந்தால் படம் வந்ததும் படம் பார்த்து எதிர்ப்பை பதிவு செய்யுங்கள். கோர்ட்டு இருக்கின்றது. அங்கு தடை கோருங்கள். அதைவிடுத்து வரக்கூடாது என்று சொல்வது அடக்குமுறை,பாசிசம். அதை இஸ்லாம் எதிர்க்கிறது. நபிகளின் வாழ்வில் இருந்தே அதற்கு ஒரு உதாரணம் சொல்கிறேன். தினமும் நபிகளார் தொழுகைக்குச் செல்லும் போது ஒரு பெண்மணி தனது வீட்டு மேல் இருந்து தெருவில் செல்லும் நாயகம் மீது குப்பை கொட்டுவார், அவர் குப்பை கொட்டுவதை ஒருநாளும் நபிகள் நாயகம் வெறுக்கவில்லை, தனது ஆதரவாளர்களை விட்டு அந்தப் பெண்ணை அடிக்கவோ,கொல்லவோ சொல்லவில்லை. மாறாக அவர் பணி கொட்டுவது, என் பணி கடந்து செல்வது என்று அமைதியாகச் சென்றார். ஒருநாள் அவர் அந்த வீட்டைக் கடந்தபோது அவர் மேல் குப்பை கொட்டப்படவில்லை. காரணத்தை அவர் விசாரித்தபோது அவள் உடல்நிலை சரியில்லாது படுத்து இருப்பதை அறிந்தார். இல்லத்தின் உள்ளே சென்று அவள் நலம் பெற பிராத்தித்தார். அவளைத் தன் செய்கைக்கு வெட்கப்படச் செய்தார். இதுதான் நபிகளார் வழி, நான் கடைபிடிக்கும் வழி.
பாபர் மசூதி இடிக்கப்பட்ட சமயம். இந்தியத் திருநாட்டில் அப்போது இருந்த 10 கோடி முஸ்லீம்கள் வருத்தப்பட்டார்கள் என்றால் அதே நேரத்தில் 50 கோடி இந்துக்கள் அதைவிட அதிகம் வருத்தப்பட்டார்கள், எதிர்த்தார்கள். அதனால்தான் இன்றுவரை பி.ஜே.பியால் மெஜாரிட்டி ஆட்சி இந்த தேசத்தில் அமைக்க முடியவில்லை. இது அப்பட்டமான நாம் நம் வாழ்நாளில் கண்ணால் கண்ட, கண்டுகொண்டு இருக்கின்ற உண்மை. படம் வரட்டும். அதில் தவறு இருந்தால் நம்மைவிட நம் மாற்று மத சகோதரர்கள் அதிதீவிரமாக எதிர்ப்பார்கள். நான் என் உடன் பிறந்த சகோதர்களைவிட உடன்பிறவா சகோதர்களை அதிகம் நம்புகிறேன்.

He asked why did they not talk to Kamal after watching the movie on 21st and they replied he went to US. But RK countered saying he left only after 23rd.

Fabulous movie. Only Kamal could have achieved this. He must worked his socks off to get such a product. The Taliban regime and New York scenes have been shot with great detail. Bharathiraja was 100 % right. You see more of Kamal the technician and director than the actor. Will have to watch again this weekend.

'Vishwaroopam' gets overwhelming response in Kerala
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/i...w/18186550.cms
Kamal Haasan's " Vishwaroopam" opened to an overwhelming response in Kerala, but after the first screening, the film's run was stopped in several theatres following protest from Muslim groups. Trade insiders say it is a clean movie.
"The first screening of the film was at 11am in approximately 82 screens in Kerala. But the film had to be banned in several cinemas after the first screening. Theatres closer to Tamil Nadu-Kerala border had to stop screening since Muslim outfits intervened," Arvind Nambiar, a distributor, told IANS.
"It's a clean film and is not targeted against any group or community. People should watch and decide for themselves whether it has any scenes that hurt the sentiments of any community," he added.
The shows were disrupted in places like Palakkad, Ettumanoor and some other towns of Kerala.

I choose to be a silent observer - have at least two books to read next one month - "The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam" and "Nomad: From Islam to America: A Personal Journey Through the Clash of Civilizations" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali

for Vekkiram and other who are interested:
in "The Caged Virgin: A Muslim Woman's Cry for Reason, also published as The Caged Virgin: An Emancipation Proclamation for Women and Islam" Hirsi Ali contends that Muslim women who seek solace and escape from Islam are typically threatened with death, and those Muslim women who do escape the "virgins' cage" are branded whores. The author discusses Islamic views on the role of women, the rights of individuals, the roots of Islamic fanaticism, and proposes Western policies toward Islamic countries and immigrant communities.

Just finished watching FDFS in Michigan , have to tell you its a good movie no its a brilliant movie By Dr. Kamal Hassan .
I don't want to comment about World Standards of movie making (I am yet to see more movies in my life time to define what is world standards) and
why kamal brought 2 bottle of chocolate milkshakes from afghan market instead of rose milk to make it more Muslim friendly.. I don't know. May be Afghans like Chocolate Milkshake or may be not! Bottom line Its a movie about Indian James bond saving america from Afghanistan terrorists master plan. In the process he has even taken some digs at serious issues like how Braminis eating chicken has increased the price of chicken in india.
Now to the actual movie , this is one kamal movie in last 15 years , I couldn't take my eyes of for even a single frame. Technical brilliance is written all over it.
I am actually speechless, his directing skills are beyond what we have seen in Indian cinema till date. I would nope world would love to see more of Director Kamal.
We are badly in need more movies of this kind. He proved Indian movies are more than just song and dance, if the script is executed properly.
Indian James bond ... coming to 2 India soon.

My post after quite some time..It is a disaster, not just to cinema, but to creativity, that art is dictated by elements who have been given the space to publicize their nonsensical agenda. It's a disgrace to our state and all other states in our country who have not had the common sense to treat a film on it's merit and release it as such.. Most works of art may insult some one or the other..If people with associations can say not to a movie, people with intellect can say no to these whimsical idiots.

Seen the movie. Best effort by an Indian movie to be on par international standards. Excellent i would rate 4/5, only the BGM could have been better. KH as taken maximum effort not show Muslims in bad lite .The movie as been structured as a mirror just showing whats happening in Afghanistan without adding or twisting or being judgmental.Kudos to Kamalji for movie well done.
