[tscii]Thks feddy :P
Hope atleast from now the thread treads nicely & be upto our mods' expectations ....
I'll repost the message from A_A
From Kannan Swamy :
Extent of Box Office Success:
• VV was released in a record 11 theatres in Chennai city with very high ticket rates – Sathyam, Albert, Melody, Abirami, Kasi, SriBrindha, Gopikrishna, Bharath, Prarthana, Mayaajaal and Rohini
• Total number of prints TN – 125
• VV had the biggest ever opening for a Tamil movie in Chennai and TN
• Opening success has been sustained for the first 25 days all over TN
Tamil Nadu - First 25 days = NETT Rs. 23 Crores
Some History:
• For movies to create box office history in TN, it has to be released during the following periods – March to May period, Pongal and Deepavali
• The above periods ensures a wider audience and also helps in sustaining good back running for a movie
• All movies which have registered great box office successes in the past in TN have all been released in the above 3 periods only
• Exception to the above, Sakalakalavallavan (August 14th 1982) and now VV
• With VV, it is astonishing that it has generated the kind of revenue which is normally associated with movies releasing in the 3 periods mentioned above
• For VV to break old box office records, it had only a 25 to 35 day window and it has done that even with lots of handicap (some of them as seen by average moviegoer)
o production problems and delays
o minimum publicity for the movie
o narrow audience (primarily male audience) due to storyline
o no korangu comedy or stupid sidekicks
o lack of back running capability
o deepavali releases being just 55 days away
• But all the above negatives were overcome by just one single name, The Emperor of box office, Dr. Kamal Haasan
• VV did just that and has collected a monstrous NETT Rs. 23 Crores in just 25 days which breaks all previous records in Tamil Film History
Bottomline:
• VV will break all previous records for the first 50 days collection in TN
• Because the movie’s appeal is narrow, the time of its release and new movies being due for deepavali, it is highly unlikely that it will break the 100 days (51st to 100th day) collection record of Chandramukhi in TN
• Remember Chandramukhi was released in summer and had a wider audience of ladies and families to support its backrun
Disclaimer: The above figures are subject to revision (upward mostly) after the completion of audit
Also, the figures are only for TN

VV` creates new record in Kovai!
By Moviebuzz | Monday, 25 September , 2006, 11:22
Vetayadu Vilayadu has created a new record in Coimbatore-Erode territory by collecting a record share of Rs 1.27 Crore in four weeks! In the long run it will turn out to be Kamal Hassan’s first film ever to cross the magic figure of Rs 2 Crore from this territory.
At Baba Complex in Coimbatore the film netted an amazing Rs 35.55 Lakhs in four weeks breaking all other Kamal Hassan records in the city. Remember that Coimbatore city is a Kamal citadel.
Vetayadu Vilayadu is expected to collect a distributor’s share between Rs 75 to 90 Lakhs from Coimbatore city

Anybody had a look at the INFLATION FACTOR for analyzing & comparing the collections of today's movies vis a vis old movies records created ?
The value of rupee has diluted like anything over a period of time.
I mean what we pay a Rs. 100 or Rs.200 for a ticket is as good as a Rs.25 20 years back.
So even an average grosser now a days may beat a super hit movie of yesteryears

Precisely.
I brought up the question of an authority that keeps track of box office collection.
This authority should also be able to give inflated figures.
For example, (being a Bond fan) Die Another Day is said to have the highest gross. True, in number, but after inflation adjustment, the winner is Thunderball, made in 1965.

MGR's Nadodi mannan or Ulagam sutrum valiban or 1000l oruvan or NT's super hit movies of 60s & 70s - all the collection data may look so small compared to the collections of today
For that matter, even Murattu kalai or Kalyanaraman or Billa or Sigappu rojakal may show a lower collection compared to movies of today
And so many guys around here are boasting of record shattering / new record having created etc etc ??
Quite ridiculous no ? unless a factor is used for benchmarking

Plus...remember, the films then were lower in budget. Imagine the collection!!!
But sticking to the subject of the thread, I am glad that quality film like Vettaiyadu Vilayadu getting good commercial response. Though I don't watch much of the new films ( I take only Rajini/kamal/Sathyaraj, thank you), I note that the quality is improving tremendously, more than, say, ten years ago. 90s sucked bad!!!. It looks good now.

Valid point - reg inflation.
However, those of who 'boasted' about VV's collections never claimed that we took inflation into consideration because that is besides the point [neenga sonna madhiri Indian, Padayappa were massive with the prevailing rates then] - the stress was on absolute numbers. We might have to go for different indicators like profit %age etc... experts may clarify... That said, consider THIS:
We cannot compare a Rs25 ticket back then with a Rs.100 ticket now because of inflation. Fair enough.
However, what we CAN do is compare the record rate of VV with the rates of contemporary movies and thats why the magnitude of its success is big!

Watched VV yesterday evening [9th time] with Paradise Unit and North Madras Narpani Iyakkam members in Bharath theatre. I thought it would atleast be like Kasi but it was a pakka B/C theatre! and its great that VV has done well even in that theatre. Houseful needless to say and it was like a FDFS because there were a lot of fans in the theatre. Due to the pathetic sound system [kaadhula kambiya vittu kodayara madhiri irundhudhu] and the presence of us, i doubt if the public watched the movie in peace
P.S: Surprisingly, they didnt cut any scene and even the behind the scenes was shown.

Hi All,
I watched VV for the 1st time in Pune on Saturday. The film was released here only on last Friday. Since i work here i just had to read the reviews to get the feel of the movie.
Even though i know the movie was available to download in youtube or through a CD, i always wanted to see Kamal's movie in a theatre which i always do.
The theatre was 75% full for the morning show and almost everyone enjoyed the movie. the movie is released in two theatres here in Pune.
This is my 1st post here however i have been reading the reviews almost for the last 1 year.
The movie rocks! Time n again Kamal has proved he is a cut above the rest.

True AA
I think 30 -50 years before, Cinema was the sole entertainment & people flocked to theatres.
The advent of TV , Video, cable tv , Internet , web etc definitely had their share of significant erosion in collection.
True that the mega serial factor is a killer factor for house wife segment to shun theatres
If despite the shorcomings, a movie achieves success, its commendable

Glad to see the thread back !!
One thing for sure these days if you look at it on the positive side, is the impact of Video, Cable, TV, internet, etc .. and the amount of impact it makes on people ... I think the extent of marketing by these media has made movies an integral part of life these days ... I've heard from elders that being crazy abt movies was not the most admirable thing in those days ... Whereas now, it's toooo normal ... Ppl seem to talk abt it all the time ... It's infact rare to see anybody say, "Oh, I'm not that much into movies !!" .... So some crap movies have a chance of entering ppl's mind with all the items you listed .... But that CLEARLY is not the case with VV ... It's a really good movie, and it DESERVES this kinda collections !!!

The reason of VV's Success
People always have a special place for Kamal and Rajini. Still there is no one in the genx actors, to grab that place.....Its those general public who decides the fate of a movie. Not fans, as some actors still thinks.... Fans cannot make a movie as blockbuster.
A political party cannot win by the registered members it has. we see in news papers, that a group of people from Party X joined Pary Y. But they cannot bring electoral success to the parties. Likewise how many registered fans and fanclubs an actor has, is totally useless in Box office point of view.
In VV, Its long time to see kamal as plain and simple as this.
Either he will have a special getup - Indian\avvai shanmugi\hey raam\aalavanthan\anbe sivam
or he will speak a special language accent - Tenail \ PKS \ VR MBBS \ RSB
sometimes both - Virumaandi
and events \ comedies will be based that specific charecterisation.
Comedies like Kathala Kathala \ P5tricks \ MX werent enough to satisfy those general public.
Its kutruthippunal were he looks simple, with quite a normal charectersiation, eventho it was above average hit, it lost the family \female audience due to the movie\s complex plot, and absense of songs. songs always meant a lot to family / female audience. Before Kuruthippunal, it was Tenali, which is the blockbuster which satisfied
the family \ female group.
But in VV he is totally simple to earth, simply superb, and there were absolute purity & maturity in romance scenes. Even tho some of the youth audience feel there is less action scenes than what was expected, they are happy to see this simple kamal....added to that they liked the songs\techinal excellence of the movie.
In the above said films, eventho Indian and Tenali were blockbusters which had kamal with spl getup\accent, its always pleasant to see kamal as kamal, like what you see in VV.
VV and CM has proved that, kamal and rajini has a special place in people's heart. if you replace thise films with different hereos, what you loose is the crores of collections which is pouring in.

The reason of VV's Success (cont'd)
Bay, its my own..........as the news about the collections records was non-stop, i was forced to think about the reason of success. thus i got this story. i forgot to add an important point.
For rajini its alywas the happy go - luck guy character which worked, and for kamal its a cool romance guy. But somehow they both lost that important roles in due course. Before chandramuki, atleaset in his last 10 movies, Rajini comletely let him into the politcal motivated roles, whereas kamal did a vareity of roles in serious movies and comedy plots alternatively. People would have got a bit bored at this. Eventhough both had blockbusters and quality movies, somehow people were longing for those plain roles, from both the actors.
So when rajini cameback to his plain simple role in Chandramuki, cleaning all the political dust, it was a festival in theatres; when kamal left out his complex ideologies like socialism communism patriotism fascism racism ect and cameback to plain old kamal(look wise) with plain old romance, with some action pepper and other goodies thrown in, VV became another festival....
But there is a major fact......VV made me feel low, when i saw some fans with different attitudes...yes, for a first time, i hear some kamal fans saying kamalukku intha mathiri intro ellaam thevayaa??? there are some fans who asked me "do you need a masala block buster like VV or a countless list of classics like heyraam devar magan ect??? do you think films like VV really adda feather to kamal's crown??? " these comments make me feel that kamal fans like kamal for different reasons, not one.
VV is a commercial masala -as said by gowtham menon itself. But i dont want kamal giving these kind of films in future, he shoud do movies with totally different plots and not one like VV, at all. Box office collections will fall in lace then and there, afterall after 200 movies, with kamal's age growing up, his time is very important. not another VV
from kamal i would conclude, happily. Dasavataram shows that thalaiver is on right trackl. I hope its another festival
[PS: i dont know whats the last movie kamal did such a serious romance character like in VV. If someone reminds me it would be better]

Sometimes I don't understand the mystery of box office.
For example ..Anbe sivam was one movie ,I never came across a single person bad mouthed about this movie .Every single person I know personally liked anbe sivam very much ..But it was a flop in box office.
Here comes VV ,Many of my friends didn't like VV to that extend and most of the reviews in tamil blog world were negative .But it turned out to be a bumper blockbuster.
Eventhough I know the response from net world doesn't reflect the mass response ,this made me confusion .VV is not a movie applicable for common movie goers like women,children and those who like plain masala and comedy movies ..But still it is making wonders ..I don't understand what may be the reason behind.
But ,I am really happy to see a kamal movie getting huge collection like this ..But I would be happy if Kuruthipunal and anbe sivam received the same.

Joe, I have had the same confusion that you have. I gave up trying to understand it at all.
Assuming a certain 'background' of computer users and their social circles (however diverse and wide that might be) I used to think the final success of a movie depends on people the liked of whom I don't get to meet at all. So I was mystically attributing it to some obscure rural viewer who decided it all. I think that sounds a bit arrogant, but I hope you get the drift.
But this concept of multiplex hits confuses me
The more I know the less I know.

Frankly I liked VV,have nothing negative to say.But I thought it will fall somewhere between the Hit&Superhit category,never even dreamt that it will turnout to be such a big blockbuster.
sakala,
I beg to differ from your post.Guna,Mahanadhi,Kuruthipunal,Hey Ram,Anbe Sivam,Virumaandi are all required but if he does not have a VV, he cannot make such films.Unless there is a miracle&all the above mentioned movies start becoming blockbusters.

cine, i too say that he needs a film like VV, bcos all the films you mentioned, had kamal in different charecterisation and/or getup.
After looooooooong time we see this plain kamal\simple plot. but what i worry is that he is ageing and time is running, we have had enough of crazymohan comedies ect, for kamal its time to Go Global. by standards he already has went., but its time he\his film should go glabal, physically

Chennai box-office (Sep 22-24)
After four weeks, Kamal Hassan’s Vetayadu Vilayadu had to make way for Chiranjeevi’s Stalin in the number one slot at the Chennai box-office. The film opened on Wednesday (Sep 20) at three Chennai screens. The five-day opening of Stalin has created history for a Telugu film in the city netting an awesome Rs 24.65 Lakhs from the three screens (Casino- 11.85 Lakhs, Sree- Rs 7.20 Lakhs, Mayajaal- Rs 5.60 Lakhs).
Vetayadu Vilayadu is still attracting crowds and managed to net Rs 17 Lakhs during the weekend and is at number two position. Vijaykanth’s Perarasu is his biggest hit since Ramanna and has climbed up the ladder to be at third place.
Emtaan Mahan is attracting family audience due to its good content and is at fourth place while Sillunu Oru Kadhal manages to hang on at fifth position due to its collections in Sathyam.

For the past 4 weeks , it published BO report on wednesday or Thursday.
It took stalin's 5 days collection .i.e from wed-sunday. But for VV it took only 2 days.

.... Does he expect every other Maddy movie to b like Minnale or Alaipayuthe ?
I'd say AS flopped because there are some people out there who did not understand what the hell is going on. On one hand, there's Plane, Train, & Automobile remake, and on the other, Kamal's Marxism-influenced messages.
I found both to be an easy mix, and got both the taste of a good entertainer and food for the brain as well. This may not have appealed to some.
As for Madhavan, I think this is one of his best (He chewed the scenery in Ayutha Ezhuttu) and proved to be one of the most versatile among actors of his generation. How else to explain why Kamal used him again for Nalla Thamayanthi. Not many actors of his generation has a good comic timing and delivery like him. He is the only actor of his time whom I can watch without fear.

As an aside,here's a quote from Nagarjuna made yesterday:
(Q)Today, every big film is flooded with large number of prints. What is your take on it?
(A)That is a good sign. Eventually, we have to proceed in that way. Even Boss will also be released in massive way, with 250 prints. This is the highest-ever number of prints in my career. The days of long runs and huge revenues from theatres have gone. Today, it is the age of earning money easily.
(Q)But still some stars are insisting for 100 days and 175 days run!
(A)I am not into that. So why ask me?
Just to remind that now-a-days no one's bothered how long a film runs,everything is in the 'Initial'.

sify always puts some explaination text under every week's box office. they were missing when VV is at no 1 position. this week too its at no one position only, but stalin has some little bit of opening crowd, and sify compared VV and stalin in a way such that VV comes lower than stalin, then loads thatincomplete box-office report to its site. and this time it promptly expands the 1st line.....clear indication of sify's mental state

IMO, thats maddy's best performance till date. I am a maddy fan and I m proud to say that. AE comes next followed by KM. But these movies shattered his lover boy image (thanks to AP and minnalE) and even he was confused which path to choose. It was too early for him to experiment, unfortunately

:P
I did not mean u dislike it because u did not understand it. The movie is not a complicated one for difficult in understandng by the way.
As u said Madhavan may not be required and there are several who could have done that role too.
But i disagree Madhavan would have lost his name because of that movie. Just one movie will never make a star fallen.
I would say it would have been greater experience for Madhavan to learn many things from Kamal. Madhavan was lucky i would say to get along with Kamal and also got a chance to act in Kamal's own production too.
My wife being a Madhavan fan loved the performance of Madhavan in that movie.
I am sure Madhavan has lots in store and he will be gradually coming to top soon.

Guys keep the discussion to VV please...we already lost this thread due to fights and unwarranted discussion.
As for Anbe Sivam, i actually think the film was quite logical and delivered its message well. In a way the recent superhit thambi bears a very strong resemblance to anbe sivam. ironically both had Maddy inside.
Maybe Anbe Sivam was a bit emotional the way it was narrated but all in all it was a very good movie. As for maddy losing himself after AS...thats a crazy thought as he shared good screen space with kamal. In fact Kamal allowed him to steal the show in the comedy sequences which gave him the tag of a excellent variety actor.

a good comparision .....
http://libramaniac.blogspot.com/2006/09/kk-vs-vv.html
KK vs VV
I recently got to watch Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu(To Hunt and To Play), a Kamal Hassan flick directed by Gautham Menon. I honestly think GM is on a Kaaka Kaaka(To Protect) hangover. Kaaka Kaaka is probably one of the best movies made in the last 5 years. Its intelligent, has an ample dose of action and is also a realistic portrayal of a policeman's life. I liked VV as well. But having watched KK just before VV, I had a certain image of how the movie would be. I wasnt disappointed but for someone whose seen Minnale(which is also directed by Gautham), which pales relatively in comparison both these movies, i may have expected a tad bit more
Storyline
KK and VV both deal with one thing, an episode in a policeman's life. The problem is, although Gautham has denied that VV is a sequel to KK, VV has so many shades of it. Anbuselvan and Raghavan's characters are almost similar in nature, all action righteous police officers who do not let anything come in their way in the pursuit of justice. In KK, it was about encounter specialists and their battles against hardened gangsters. Here Kamal Hassan goes a step further. He heads an international manhunt to find a serial killer whose killed in India as well as America. Although, this might have been done to death in hollywood, an storyline like this hasnt been really seen before in Tamil Cinema and it is indeed a refreshing change. However, because of the nature of the storyline, its paced slower than KK, and only speeds up after the intermission. Of course, the pace is necessary, but it does prove to be a dampener at times.
Anbuselvan(Surya) vs Raghavan(Kamal Hassan)
A tough one to call. Anbuselvan is an all action cop while Raghavan is more restrained and less emotional. I honestly enjoyed Kamal Hassan's performance in the movie. Usually he punctuates his performances with over the top histronics. Here he's very restrained and practically shows no emotion, using facial expressions to express himself rather than theatrics. One only has to watch how he reacts when the girl he has expressed his love to decides to shake his hand when she greets him. The mixture of confusion and irritation at the way he thinks she's behaving is a treat to watch. Surya on the other hand reminds you of a supercop and perharps its because of the difference in age between the two characters, Raghavan being portrayed as a much older man. However, it must be said that both Anbuselvan and Raghavan seem like 2 different people.
Thus, rather than saying who was better, its perharps fairer to say both were effective in their portrayals. On a more light hearted side, it would have nice to have Surya appearing for a few seconds in this movie, seeing that both movies were of the same genre and were directed by the same person.
Pandya vs Elamaran/Amuthan
This is where the scale tips in favour of KK. Both sets of bad guys are implusive, cold blooded killers. But Elamaran and Amuthan's antics make Pandya look like he's a calculated killer. The problem here as well is that the KK hangover is still apparent. All three are loud, long haired and are narcissitic meglomaniacs. Sometimes you mistake one for another. Obviously because there are similarities physically and characteristically, the villians in VV have the unfair label to live up to. Pandya i thought is an institutional of villany. He knows when to strike and how to strike in order to make it most effective, despite him being hot headed and implusive. The two serial killers however, prove the script is lacking. It was almost like Gautham didnt want Kamal to be overshadowed in the movie, seeing how Pandya and Anbuselvan had almost equal footage. Pandya was as intergral to KK as Anbuselvan was. Elamaran and Amuthan practically punch , shoot and maim their way out of situations and after a while, it gets very unoriginal. What takes the cake is the climax where Amuthan simply asks Kamal to let him go as he wanted to be the number one doctor in the world. Yeah right.
Aradhana vs Maya
Aradhana is one reason why i think Jyothika is probably the best actress in Tamil cinema for a while. People talk about Asin and Sneha, but Jyothika's portrayal of Aradhana is nothing short of fantastic. She underplays it so brilliantly yet her depiction complements the script. However, the problem is her character doesnt underpin the story like Maya does in KK. Essentially, there was a story in KK which was underpinned by three major characters - Anbuselvan, Maya and Pandya. In VV, its Kamal. Everyone else is secondary. The death of Maya in KK really touched the audience and thats how effective and important Maya was. Again, its not fair to say where Jyothika did better, rather did Jyothika perfomed aptly in both.
Its quite obvious that KK is better as a package. But VV definitely is a quality product. The rarely seen before storyline, Kamal's acting, the action , are definite pluspoints. You do feel disappointed at some points, but i think it isnt fair to downplay VV because of KK.

We, as honest kamal fans, will start listing the bugs in VV now...
below is a listing from mouthshut.com review
When our hero goes to New York and sees the dead bodies of his friends in the morgue, when they open the body bag that contains the woman, you can see her blinking her eyes quickly!
When the hero is chasing one of the villains who is on his motorbike, the hero, a noteworthy
policeman, does not bother to use his siren , neither does he bother to call for backup , and nor does he ask for the mobile to be tracked . Later on when they leave the traffic and enter into a unpopulated area, hey, presto, the sirens come on magically!
This is our hero’s first visit to USA. But in a big meeting, he suddenly speaks English with a nice American accent ! How fashionable!
In another scene, our hero goes from New York to New Jersey (cities virtually next to each other) in a private plane!
When going to the USA, our hero goes in economy class, yet, while coming back, he is in business class.
Jyotika, the heroine, arrives at New York to look for a job and stays at a nice 1st Class luxury hotel. How can one afford such hotels when being jobless?
The two villains, medical students, magically also know how to disguise themselves exceedingly well.

When going to the USA, our hero goes in economy class, yet, while coming back, he is in business class.
One or more of the following reasons might be applicable
1) The airlines could have upgraded his ticket to Business Class for various reasons (seat not available in economy)
2) He was unwell after that incident, might have given a special request with necessary backing from NYPD.
3) Maya got Business Class ticket. So Raghavan also would have requested for the same by paying some extra money

Alwarpet A & Sakala V
Knowing Kamal H for his technical brilliance ( especially, the kind of efforts he put in for Hey Ram to get the 1947-48 impact ) , even a small error here & there will be blown out of proportion.
Pl remember that every movie of Kamal will be viewed with huge expectations on how sound the movie technically is
The care he took in Hey Ram for certain scenes let me highlight though its a digression :
1. The song Ramar analum in Karachi - recollect the dress code of all, the old restaurant with some Britishers
2. That Kolkatta old building where he resides & the dressing style of his Bengali wife Rani M & here Kamal himself wears a typical Bengali dressing !
3. Now to Srirangam , Tamil nadu - when he comes in that bullock cart ? with Valee & his old Patee ?? KH looks like a 100% Agmark Iyengar here !
and the entire sequence of scenes in Bashyam Iyengar's house when he meets Vasundara D - all great picturisation , sincere effort to bring us the memories of the past
Like this, I can list a huge number of scenes in Hey Ram itself !
Now tell me, Kamal himself has set a benchmark for his movies & obviously expectations on every aspect of his movie will be huge

This is our hero’s first visit to USA. But in a big meeting, he suddenly speaks English with a nice American accent ! How fashionable!
This ones laughable !!
I was expecting him to peter in US accent in those scenes, but he dint. Thats a good thing and kudos to the director.
I wonder if the reviewer has atleast seen some american movies to comment on the accent !!

Have not seen VV so I can't comment about the accent. But Kamal usually speaks English with a very conscious accent.It was great in MMKR ('Open the bloody gates Man, I am the boss'). Perhaps some Prof. Higgins would say that is still not 'London' but it seemed really fine with me. But since then he has been using a very similar pronunciation throughout and it sounds really weird and artificial:
"Tiruvallar,... white beard, near Sanskrit College" - Anbe Sivam
"The applause is for your Tamil Sir" - Hey Ram. (curiously it is normal when he is conversing with Rani but goes off the mark when he is talking to the Maharaja and later to Gandhi)
Glorious exception being "
I am responsible,
they are responsible"in Kurudhippunal. Even in that movie you would see the accent showing when in parts when he is on radio-communication.
I am not even going back to ThoongAdhEy Thambi ThoongAdhEy (which IMO is his worst attempt at accent).For a man who mastered Tamil dialects and as a professional with wide exposure to foreign films, it is quite puzzling why English is a hurdle.

Thats my point. He was a london return in that movie and I dint hav any problems with him speaking in that accent. But in VV, he has lived in India all his life and this is the first time (we believe) that he is in the US and if he had even tried to put on some accent, it would have been bad. But that dint happen

True I agree ! I was a bit nervous when I was seeing the movie first time ( have seen it thrice now), expecting that he may come out with some sort of accent but surprisingly he did not. It was his own and normal with a very good pronunciation which is definitely not the typical South Indian accent. Any accent which is not South Indian, sounds American or British to most, but Kamal cannot be blamed for that.
And PR, Kudos for your memory. You remember each and every bit of dialogues and you aptly bring it out.

Chennai box-office (Sep 29-Oct 1)
Vetayadu Vilayadu has made a comeback to the number one
position at the Chennai box-office as Stalin collections have dropped. The big surprise is Em Mahan that has climbed up to be at second place due to family audience thronging the theatres. Shanthi reported 100 percent collections during weekend.
At number three is another big surprise Lage Raho Munnabhai which has been shifted from the small Anu Ega to the 1240 seater Ega and still did 100 percent during weekend! Stalin is at fourth position and finally Sillunu Oru Kadhal managed to be at fifth place due to its Sathyam big screen collections.

2) went to satyam, chennai, with my friend....wednesday 3 pm show....time was running...... we were arguing for VV or Sillunnu, what to watch..went to parking area and the parking person questioned which film we were about to watch? and my friend said VV, operator said "better go and get the ticket and park, or else u will waste parking fees" (indirectly telling that VV is getting full)
3) Inside Satyam thee was banners for VV SOk and other movies, in VV banner, on the kamal's still, some enlighted soul has written B, double A, D & U in tamil.....well that indicates the amount of box office succes vv has got. Mumbai Express Stillai evanum seendinaanaa???

exactly what kamal said in that function was " today is our cm's wedding day, poeple use to say that CM[kalaignar] has a high memory power but i dont thnk so.....if he has such a hi mempower, he would not have come to this funtion, at all...so that his next day's duty alo would not get affected"
well this is tricky and not all will understand why kamal spoke thus....read the article again,
it says that time was 11.30 night, when kamal's turn for speech, came...
already its reported that lot of chaos happened to actors to get into the function venue
kamal is already having sleepless nights due to dasa, he sleeps only 4 to 5 hours, reportedly, per day
we all know how tough it is to apply that specal make-up he is using
its equally tough to remove the same too..and he will be on liquid diet when in make-up
with all this, he has the right to get pissied-off with the tortures the function crew offered, in one wordthey didnt organise the event properly, some time before, kamal left a function, in half way as it was running out of his time..

I think Kamal mentioned about "Ngyabaga maradhi" in a veiled reference to how most of the filmworld was in the opposite camp during elections and how they were talking against the CM at that time. He meant that CM had 'forgotten" those comments and had come for the felicitation meeting.
Infact Rajini also commented similarly when he said "heads can criticize heads, tails can criticize head but it is unbearable that even the hairs on the tails were criticizing head!"(loosely translated)
It was all in reference to the election time scenarios.
(interestingly it was rumored that Kaml himself was offered a huge ammount if he decided to canvas the admk in the campaign which he refused and flew off to U.S.)

But is that the right way to watch a good movie of your most favourite star ? I don't understand the idea behind this kind of celebrations. It irritates me a lot and I experienced this when I was watching VV the first time. I infact felt like walking out, as I could not listen to the dialogues properly.

... the music of Vetayadu Vilayadu and its audio sales. This audio has broken the record created last year’s Ghajini and Anniyan both from Harris.
So far Vetayadu Vilayadu has sold 85,000 audio cassettes and 60,000 CD’s across India. It is phenomenal achievement as the audio industry is in the dumps. In fact, the music industry feels that Vetayadu Vilayadu is such a huge hit only due to Harris’ music.

somehow sify accepted the Smacsh Hit success of VV, now it is busy at inventing odd reasons for VVs success, apart from Dr.Kamal
in fact, audio and other techinical effects played an important role in the movie's success but the Number one reason is .........no need to mention, everyone knows

kanna, lets continue this as this brings out some truth
Nerd,
1. VV has broken the opening records of ALL TAMIL MOVIES released before 2006 August 25, thats VV release date
2. I never mentioned that VV broke ALL records of CM, but said only audio records
3. Stalin created a new opening record, but its not a tamil film and the record openings happened outside tamilnadu. If you consider Stalin, then Stalin has broken opening record of VV, which has allready broken CM's openign record, correcta
4. Stalins 14 crore opening or 4 days collection or whatever, is a very big record, now you people has to answer the lot of articcles which said rajini is the biggest baadshah if south india, ect...
5. I have to post for four pages to make you ppl belive\accpet that CMs 100 crore figure is a TOTALLY FAKE ONE
7. Regarding audio record, surely no other film would have sold more than VV, and sify is not my only soure, consult to any audio sales shop. In landmark, they constantly update VV CDs and they have placed them in Centre of all other new films. You dont need a sify to say that VV audie is the biggest hit in recent times. maybe it cold have long time to collect waht CM audio did in one week, again its not bcos of music, but bcos of the name rajini
Regarding VV's other record, consult to universalherokamal.com, it has ll sources for records, also contact satyam theatre management, for 7th week, they are continuing spl shows (5 hows perday) on Weekends
All thsi happened with more no of theatres, but still collections didnt dilute

Which means CM held the record b4 stalin broke it.
About Rajini and baadshaah, CM was released more than a year back, compare that with the movies released the same year. Ticket prices are not the same every year and obviously for shivaji it would be > CM.
Coming to VV, AFAIK (since I dont live in India, I have to believe my sources) its doing extremely well in chennai, but in almost all the other centers it isnt doing that good and it has been removed from many screens across and we have to wait and see how many screens has shown VV for 50 days
Also reg audio, I can believe that VV sold more than CM, CM's audio was by VS, who doesnt have a great pulling power but remember it sold more than IR's MX

Not only in Chennai,
It is doing well in NSC,Kovai,Salem and Tindugal And also did extremly well in Oveseas. And in TN there is only 125 prints.
And other areas, it was a hit.

Regarding this, Was there anywhere it had been mentioned(opening week record) before during the time of CM release.
See, we know Sify is a great supporter of Rajini. As of now VV doing amazing business and they want to suppress that fact in whatever possible manner. That is why they included CM without any need.
If CM could have collected 15 crores in the opening week they could have mentioned this, that time itself. There were no reports like that earlier during CM period( i meant only opening week record).
And i am not pretty sure when they say inlcuding Telugu prints too for CM.

history ellaam vechhikka sify payal onrum periya __dungi illai. he is just a rajini fanaric, who also overrates vijay...thats it
tamil weekly aananda vikatan too does the same, and they also praise themselves that they are very neutral
simple example, in middle os 3rd week of Cm itself, they went to rajini and asked "Rajini saar, eppdi saar ungalaala maattum ippdiellaam mudiyuthu??!!!" sema vahisal......for that rajini replied in hsi standard pattern "kannaa, naan appove sonnen ect........"
above all ever recently, vairamuththu said that Jothika or vadivelu or some other X is the reason for CMs success ect.......but in case of VV the reason is ultra clear

Nerd lets not go overboard and be tensed. We all know the truth and no matter what exaggerations come there is no use hiding the truth.
I am not sure abt CM's box office run but its a truth that its a blockbuster and so is VV. Both ran for their respective heroes and also for the way the story and screenplay was handled. The similarity here is that this time the performance is shared by everyone and not by the two superstars(heroine,music director,director,villain etc).
As for muthu running for meena thats true abit but if that is so there wunt be japanese fans going crazy over rajini there. So in that case muthu running only for meena is abit too exaggerated. Alright lets wrap up the discussion. We do not want another rajini vs kamal fight.

S.vallavarae....VV was bound to do well...it is not some actor acting in a good story to see if it might flop or not..we are talking about kamalhassan whose mere presence at times also can make a movie runs although his acting and script choice also proves it.
Lets forget about CM..it is enough knowing its a blockbuster...doesnt matter who it ran for or what it ran for anyway.
Thats true about VV crossing many hurdles but i feel if not for kaja moideen's problems it might have a much more massive run.

VV story: Gautham kept Kamal in dark?
As per the latest rumour that is doing its rounds, Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu has been directly lifted from a monthly crime novel by Rajesh Kumar. Rajesh Kumar as everyone would be aware of is a renowned Tamil novelist whose forte is crime. He enjoys a strong base of readership in Tamil Nadu and is said to be the uncrowned king of crime fiction.
Kamal
One of is novels by name ‘Uyir Piriyum Neram’ seems to be the source of inspiration for Gautham Menon who has transformed the same to silver screen in the name of ‘Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu’.
When people who have read the novel in question and watched the film, they were totally taken aback by the similarity between the same. Sources reveal that Gautham Menon has made the film based on this novel without informing Kamal. On the other hand, Kamal seems to be in total darkness regarding this.
There are some Tamil novelists like Sujatha, Suba and Pattukottai Prabhakar who have worked out a strategy by offering their novels for a price thereby earning money as well as fame. Perhaps Rajesh Kumar should take a cue from them. Since the concerned parties have not come out in the open, the matter is yet to take on a larger proportion.

Some of these quotes like VV collected 15 crores or broken CM's record make me laugh. As for the tamil movies are concerned there is no credible source apart the producer who can clearly say how much a movie has collected. No sane producer or a distributor in TN is stupid enough to divulge those details to TV channels or news papers.
The websites and TV Channels are usally getting paid by the movie staff to promote their movies with arbitary figures to gain some crediblity. If not they usually post some arbitary crap about superstars without direct quotes from the concerned persons, just to attract more traffic.

A_A alreadty posted that VV is not big as expected in Trichy,Tirunelveli.
It is not a big hit in those areas.But definitely hit in That areas.
But in NSC Areas,
It is doing well in b centers like Kanchipuram,vellore and etc.
And C centers like Tirutani,Chengalpat and etc.
Till today it had collected 45 crores with out telugu release.
In telegu release also it may expected to collect 10 crs.
7th Channal Narayanan is not in the position to publish all the collection VV made so far due Kaja Moideen issue.
And OSCAR made a very big profit in NSC Areas.
Even Same sify mentioned 3 weeks before that VV Was picking up in C centers like Kumbakonam,Tiruppur and etc.
VV is the 2nd Biggest blockbuster in Kollywood.

I mean it is real when experiencing Kamal in VV.
Adakki vasithu irkirar rombavae nalla irukuthu.

Saw Kamal and his speech in Kalagar programme at Sun TV. Funny and deep thought speech by Kamal, the "Gnyagaba marathi"
. The most natural speech in the programme is given by none other than Kamal. IMO Rajini is not in that level natural "Nenjam Thangavillai"

I'd not compare, if I were you.
Kamal was quiet, discreet and very indirect.
Rajini was loud, emotional and very direct
Two very different approach that makes them who they are.
Coming to the thread.
Now that VV is a big success, I wonder what the original critics who expected it to bomb will think. If this is a measure for future successes of films, we can expect more quality stuff.

CM running in Africa, for reason totally in known
Since I lived in Durban (Eastern South African coastal city) during the film's release, let me give my observations..
The film was released by Ster Kinekor theatres (it's a theatre chain just like PVR)
The film was released in a shopping mall called Gateway with 4 shows per day. All Tamil/Telugu films get released here, as the theatre is a "Classic" type, wherein the price is high when compared to other types. The obvious reason is to get more money in short time.
The ticket cost was R35 (1 Rand = Rs. 6.5 approx. then)
Durban is a place where you can find most South Indian settlements.
Older generation people like Family Oriented movies - They still nourish Shivaji Ganesan movies -
CM being a family oriented movie, gelled with the audience.
Vadivelu is the biggest hit there for his acting, apart from Rajini's presence.
The film didn't run continuosly 100 days in a single theatre - rather it was shifted among the chain for 100 days plus (or) minus.

Chennai box-office(Oct 06-08)
Tuesday, 10 October , 2006, 17:36
Vetayadu Vilayadu manages to hang on to the number one slot as there were no new releases this week. The pre-Diwali gloom has set at the Chennai box-office. Collections have dropped drastically. At second place is Lage Raho Munnabhai which has become the highest collecting Hindi film in Chennai.
At third position is Em Mahan and at fourth place is the Malayalam super hit Classmates, which opened to 100 percent in 540 seater Padmam and at Mayajaal. At fifth position is Sillunu Oru Kadhal.

Aiiyo pavam sify payal.. it has to accept the truth that VV is at No.1 but hardly tries to draw a different reason for its success every week
If there were no new releases this week then what is Sillinu oru kathal, perarasu, Emtan makan ect???
heights of idiotism you see, its the same sify who said that VV is at no.tduring the opening weekends of those films
On the other side masala masteer vikatan is telling different 'stories' this week...there is an article in AV saying that Godfather's expactaion is huge ( VV kku iruthathellam enna?? there was no article on VV pre-releasey hype) there was a line.."usually films whose release gets delayed, will flop as they get out of trend but _ _ _ _ film has succeeded big
so Godfather to is expected to succeed the same way(
) "
there cannot be another comedy than this. try guessing that 'great' film....
in Junior vikatan, there was an boxed article pointing the success of emtan magan, but vikatan is nicely hidig the success of VV
onother hand its nicely posting the scoops on avatars in 10A

Is it wrong if they wanna say ""pre-Diwali gloom has set at the Chennai box-office""
On the other side masala masteer vikatan is telling different 'stories' this week...there is an article in AV saying that Godfather's expactaion is huge ( VV kku iruthathellam enna?? there was no article on VV pre-releasey hype) there was a line.."usually films whose release gets delayed, will flop as they get out of trend but _ _ _ _ film has succeeded big so Godfather to is expected to succeed the same way( ) "
Ya they should not have said ""Godfather's expectation is huge""
That is sure to hurt few people.. I don't see how
Side Note: Would you also complain if Goutham did not give an interview while others do? It seems like you don't want to hear a site saying Godfather's expecation is huge
. Now your problem is that they said it has huge expectation and they did not say the same for V V?
A delayed movie has succeeded so another delayed(more than VV) movie is expected to do well. This is what they say. What's wrong here??
Wouldn't you say KSR and Kamal always rock so they're expected to rock with Thasaavatharam?

As expected some ppl misunderstood my words.
1. Pre diwali gloom is good for diwali releases but cannot be bad for current films, even if so
it should affect all films, so the effect is nullified
2. i didnt put any fun icons when i said that GF has huge exp, and yes my problem is they didnt post an article about VV;s huge expectation, whats wring in ti ???? even with some -ve comments in the opening weekend, the boxoffice mounted a big opening record right? so do u say VV had less expec???
reg delayed movie, VV too is a delayed movie you see, there was not even an iota of mention on that. my dotted lines is for perarasu. eventhao perarasu is doing well i didnt hear that it creared or broke any records, they how come perarasu become an example, bypassing VV??
my last fun icon is meaning that, they wish godfather to end up as successful as perarasu and not as VV. let ajith fans decide the want a success amount of VV or perarasu

There were looods of news circulating about V V.. but it's not the case with GF.. so don't get upset if ppl write something to promote.
I never said V V had less expectation. It's neither my problem nor fault if nobody wrote anything about its expectation.

i mean fair journalism, which includes, posting news on happenings, be informed that, there is not even one word frm vikatan about the astounding success of VV, when rajini films run, its totally different case, even rajini will not warrent some news on his films , forex vikatan was publishing that CM collected 100 crores, will rajini accept this ?? (i pointed rajini not for fight but to pint that vikatan and sify are jalras for rajini)

I got damn wild when I saw them mentioning 'perarasu' as a great example for a delayed and succeeded movie
Sure Vikatan is working hard to cover the success of VV and also Ajith. I felt, Ajith was insulted by AV, comparing his much expected God Father with Perarasu.
Hope you all know that Vikatan and SUN TV are business partners, as Vikatan Tele Vistas, produce tele serials for SUN TV. AlaigaL, appA and kOlangaL were produced by Vikatan group.

i think, the moment vikatan partnered with a piloticcal party-owned SunTV, its neutrality diluted somehow......very bad of you vikatan

Hello Kamalians!
VV was released in Pune and ran houseful shows for 1 week last month. Out of the blue, when i saw today's news paper i came to know that it is going to be released in 3 top notch multiplexes due to "heavy public demand" (as mentioned in the news paper) this friday.
Actually last month, the film was released only in 2 theatres.
There's huge fan following for Kamalhassan in the North. Especially many people here do say that their all time favourites are films like ek dujhe ke liye, saagar, sadma.
Thats were Kamal stands out when compared to the rest of the bunch of ordinary tamil heroes.

I donno about whether they (AV) did V V preview or not.
Since these 2 films are doing well (but they haven't mentioned VV, i agree that) they had a look into GF.

But AV's stupidity and biasness is well known. May be they are not against Kamal but definitely against Ajith (as they are Vijay jalras), and they some how try to undermine him in all possible ways. If it was a Vijay film they would have definitely compared it with VV, since it was Ajith they were comparing with perarasu. Thats it and there is no other meaning to it. Because as I said before their biasness is well known, be it cinema or politics but as Sakala said they pretend to be neutral and innocent.

When somebody says Tax excemption given by TN govt is one of the reasons for VV's success ,I don't understand the relavance.
Agreed,Due to Tax exception Producer,Distributer and Theatre owner got more share .But how will it support people come to theatres when there is no reduction in ticket price ?
It is nothing like more people come to see VV since ticket price reduced due to Tax excemption .There will not be any connection with no of people coming to watch the movie.Isn't it?

But is that the right way to watch a good movie of your most favourite star ? I don't understand the idea behind this kind of celebrations. It irritates me a lot and I experienced this when I was watching VV the first time. I infact felt like walking out, as I could not listen to the dialogues properly.
while i was watching the movie at kasi on that unforgettable day, by mistake i thrust my hands on a middle aged woman's head who was sitting on the first row with her family...
i was terribly embarassed and pleaded guilty.... i really appreciate their patience. even after being bombarded with 30kgs of paper cuttings, they sat on the first till the first half, without raising any complaints... after the interval, i got them 5 seats in the middle rows....

VV was released in Pune and ran houseful shows for 1 week last month. Out of the blue, when i saw today's news paper i came to know that it is going to be released in 3 top notch multiplexes due to "heavy public demand" (as mentioned in the news paper) this friday.
Actually last month, the film was released only in 2 theatres.
There's huge fan following for Kamalhassan in the North. Especially many people here do say that their all time favourites are films like ek dujhe ke liye, saagar, sadma.
Thats were Kamal stands out when compared to the rest of the bunch of ordinary tamil heroes.
Venkat,
Are you in Orkut ?

I returned back to Chennai last week and thought of watching VV in Satyam today. All the shows were full and the staff said only few Rs75 tickets for the evening and night shows but I have sit and watch at 7 rows from the screen.
I pulled out as there are better ways to spend time than watching this movie for an obnoxious money and also spoiling my eyes during that process and also not many family audiences could've afford to view the movie
I don’t think this movie has a very big reach like Anniyan or CM. This ridiculous ticket prices are the main reason for VV to scale up such a huge collection.
That Vadivelu film albeit being rubbish with kiddy fiddling stuff and f**kwittery of biblical proportions hasn’t collected as much as VV as the ticket prices were low. But a lot of audiences across the state should've viewed movie and it signals the reach of that movie over VV.

Your comments are contradictory...you say that that the ticket prices are exorbitant,but you did not get tickets,despite that...And then you say VV does not have the reach of Imsai Arasan..Could you please state what you are driving at?
On another note......VV HAS COMPLETED 50 GLORIOUS DAYS
However I was disappointed with the paper ad i saw in the morning..It was extremely small and just like the ones that appeared on the other days..

That vadivelu movie was released in many local theatres around the city... when I was away and but still it ran packed houses at many places regarded as B centers around the city itself.
In contrast Mumbai express bombed with little or no viewers from the very second day in lesser theatres around the city. I paid Rs 45 to watch Mumbai express last time when I was around here but in contrast the ticket prices of this vadivelu movie is relatively very low and hence it had a bigger reach albeit both being targeted for the mainstream audiences.
VV is getting repetitive audiences mainly youth and men and hence it has clicked but Kamal hasn’t rambled anything this time unlike MBBS when he publicly declared that <insert some thing there> people have watched the movie.
According to behind woods few weeks back the VV has already started to lose hold in the B and C centres ..in contrast to vadivelu film that has run full shows in more number of theatres all over the state

VV is in its 50th day,dont be surprised if ity loses hold in the B and C centers..VV doing so well in the B and C centers despite its content is in itself extradordinary..
Mumbai Xpress IS a flop..But if you want to keep quoting it,so be it...
And as far as Kamal's comment on VRMBBS was concerned,that figure was mentioned in the newspaopers and Kamal quoted the newspapers..It wasnt a rambling
If Kamal has to ramble about his BO success he has so many movies that he could ramble about,why VRMBBS??

You are missing the point. VV is a certainly a huge box office success and at least according to many ad hoc INSIDERS, it has the second highest collections behind CM.
But unlike MBBS or CM or Vadivelu movie not many across the state have viewed it. I mentioned Mumbai Xpress to point out the ridiculous ticket prices for Kamal (or any other superstar for that matter) movies that keeps middle class away from theatres inspite of having a tolerable content.

Not really. Most of the threatres in Chennai, reduced the price from second or third week onwards. For instance, it was Rs. 30 and Rs.40 @ Kasi. So your argument that the high prices kept the audience away, is not valid.

CM, of course yeah....
Anniyan had a better reach than VV-a??
Its done very well in B and C centers and it began to lose out in some B centers and C centers as expected but not without having a good run....
The ticket rates are ONE of the reasons for the huge collection. And BTW, if the rates are *ridiculous* these many people wouldn't have watched it...
BTW, its been released in a record number of screens....which means a lotofpeople have watched it...

VV's appeal was limited only towards certain audiences, yet the .ticket prices and repetitive audience carried the movie through. Anniyan was good enough to be viewed only once or may be twice but the appeal was also wide. So the turnout was also big.
It reminds of what Kamal said about Vikram, a big commerical success but it failed to reach the people as expected or win over the film critics. VV like Vikaram is a commercial sucesss and has also won over the critics but failed reach the people.
Its a freak hit.

Dude its simple..Ticket prices stay high only as long as there is demand..VV still has a good turnout and so the prices are still high..
The appeal is limited,because of the movie's content..It has 3-4 rapes and atleast 5 gory bodies for godssakes..But inspite of all that the movie' reach has surprised everybody...VV,Anniyan and Imsai are movies of differnt genre catering to different audiences..Its stupid to compare these movies..

I mentioned Imsai Arasan, CM or Anniyan just to point out a movie cannot be rated as a super hit or a milestone in the mainstream category unless majority of the viewers watch and appreciate it.
VV didn’t have the essential ingredients to gratify all sections of public, and lure them to theatres yet the damp squib of nature of the competitors during its release phase combined with the ridiculous ticket rates plus repetitive audiences kept the cash registers ringing. It’s a freak hit, even the producer, director or Kamal wouldn't have expected the movie would make this big ... speaking strictly in terms of gate receipts
Nevertheless it has won over the film critics and not a bad film to watch.

"Psycho" may not be viewed by all section of viewers - still many consider this as a milestone.
Our own "Nayakan" was certified 'A'.
What about "American Beauty" which had a few explicit scenes?
List will be endless....

So according to you,if a movie that does not have the essential ingredients to satisfy all sections of public succeeds,its called a freak hit..Well thats contentious..Because i Would say thats the movie thats tastes the real victory..The reason why KB,Mahendran,BR, are still remembered even today is because their movies were against the norms of their times but still they managed to lure the audiences to the theaters..Esp KB made social dramas,often controversial,but still managed to succeed in most of his attempts,So would you call his works ''freak hits''...
Besides VV actually has ingredients for all classes of people(except kids,they can go watch Imsai)..there were fights and punch dialogues for the teen,male audiences,5 very good songs,Kamal-Jo angle for the women,etc..The only negative was that it had an overdose of violence and gore,that may have repelled the neutral audience,which fortunately did not happen to the most extent..

Both Nayakan and Devar Magan were certified “A” and had some adult content but during the period Kamal well had his appeal over school children (not the case now) and family women. Unlike VV both moves left family audiences in a good taste and hence they were big success in both panoramic and mainstream categories.
I was in my school and watched Nayagan and Punngai Mannan along with my parents without twitching and all of us left the theatre in a great taste and it reflected on the success of those movies.
Is that the same case with VV?

No its not my point there. Those movies in spite of some objectionable content were down to earth and satisfied family audiences. I dont think I had problem when I watched Uthri Pookal as a kid along with my family. Forget about childern - how many families audiences especially women/housewives in particular are flocking the theatres to watch VV inspite of five good songs and other masala elements?
These days there are better ways for families to get themselves entertained unless they are entertaining with the "U" certificate and movies like VV are not an option worth considering.

i had seen the movie 11 times in theatre.... expect for the opening day, the theatre is filled with majority of family audience , much to my surprise.. there are a few gory scenes, but the familes are happy with the film, thats why VV got a
good word of mouth.....
anbe sivam was very much watchable with the family, but it didnt get the kind of audience VV is getting...

Pre tell comedian whats so funny about that?
11 times?
Just as I highlighted some posts above, fans like you have watched the movie over and over again paying over the odds has contributed to the collections. On the broader sense , its didnt have the overall appeal as its getting hyped by Kamal fans around here.

Exactly!!!
My relatives aren't exactly fans of Kamal movies [not all movies but in general] and i reluctantly booked VV tickets for them thinking they wouldn't be very impressed. To my pleasant surprise they ended up watching it twice. This is not a stray case but what i've heard from many circles. That it will be taken off most theatres from Deepavali and it will be a bonus if it reaches 100 days in 2-3 centers is a different issue. It has had its reach is the point.

Neutral viewers can make a movie a hit. Repeated viewers can make it a super hit. The "word of mouth" has made neutral viewers especially men to watch the movie. Unlike Anbe Sivam, masala elements and repeated viewing plus the ridiculous ticket prices made it a blockbuster. VV falls in the category.
Anbe Sivam had a "good word of mouth". By your own logic it should've been a super hit. It failed because it lacked the masala elements of VV. In other words it reflects the appeal of Kamals movies these days...even if they are really good.

If fans like Aandavan or Sakala or whoever watch a Kamal movie 5, 10 or 20 times, it cannot become a hit.
I watched VV only 3 times whereas I watched Anbe Sivam 5 times and Aalavandan once and both of them flopped.
No stars including Kamal & Rajini can make a hit if their fans (only fans) see it 10 times each.
There is no statistics about how many people watched VV - only how many tickets were sold.
No one can divide those by 100 or 1000 and say only those many people watched the movie and so it does not have a reach.
I don't think Kamal had "lost" any audience. If that was the case he would not have remained as the second highest paid actor in Tamilnadu.

Still if people go and watch the movie by paying "ridiculous" prices, it means the movie has the reach.
Anyway, as I feel the intention is just to fight aginst Kamal and so no more reply from my side.

I saw the movie twice (in theater,Satyam,shantham) once in the 2nd week and the second time in the 7th week..First time i would say the crowd was composed of 70% college,teen,male adults etc.and 30% family audiences..I saw some dads taking their little babies outside whenever Harris's BGM went haywire and Balaji came on screen..Now you would expect the family audience to stay away from VV due to word of mouth..If that was the case VG's argument has some merit..
But when i saw the movie again in the 7th week,I saw an equal share of teen,adult audience and FAMILY audiences..The kids continued to cry and the dads continued to take them out,But the bottomline is that family audiences flocked to the theaters despite the violence,gore etc...
So a movie that can be rated 15+ continues to attract audiences (all sections of it) despite the ''ridiculous'' ticket prices...Now how could you say that the movie does not have the reach???Its utterly baseless

You are right. Everyone cannot enjoy this movie. Not only this any movie for that matter. But here the motive here, does not seem to be views on the movie. There was no reason mentioned why it was disappointing.
Also the question on Budjet does not arise when we give our opinion on the movie.
The motive is to start some fight and try to close this thread

Thirumaran, you're too pessimistic. Can't I say it was dissapointing? Had I explained it in few sentences, personal abuses will be flowing(as expected). I tried to play it safe.
Can't I ask about budget? I should only ask should it have a connection with my opinion that it was dissapointing?

1. Thanks for ur opinion on me. Probably u r the first one who could be having this opinion abt me. Never mind.
2. Everyone can say their opinion. If u feel that people will involve in personal abuses for ur opinion that means u would not have involved in +ve cristicism, some highly negative opinion, u would be giving on the actor instead of the movie. And it is known thing that u always attack kamal and now also no one would be expecting something different.
There are so many negative views had been given by many including kamal fans.
3. In this context it is not needed and that too asking a specific person.

I'm happy that you appreciated it.
Speculating what I will say is defective and I did not say anything yet so your criticism on me falls flat.
Kamal fanst intelligently indulge in VV's success because quality wise, it is dissapointing. Normally, they will be talking of a movie's quality instead of its success. Surprised.
What's not needed? Who decides what I need? Since aandavan is a Kamal fanatic, I decided to ask him. If you find it wrong, then that's not my problem

In Madurai district VV crossed 50 days in all 15 B and C centers.
This is the first ever kamal movie to cross 50 days in 19 theatres(including madurai city) in the first release.
also first ever tamil movie to cross 50 days in 19 theaters which released in non vacation time. .
Lesson from VV.
--------------------
If kamal gives importance to
songs, movie will be defenitely super hit.
I am expecting the same in 'dasavatharam' also. other wise 'Shivaji' will lead in the race.

well i too read those kurals in the ads...i dont have a clear clue
it can be a indirect message frm naayanan to
kaja (obviously, no explaination needed)
OR
goutham (who said that he was happy with producer only for 50%)
OR
or kamal (if there were any financial related fights like the last one 75lacs cheque bouce)
OR
or rajini, i think.....GOK
i also noticed that these ads were not from oscar ravi but directly from narayanan

Chennai box-office (October 20 to 22)
Wednesday, 25 October , 2006, 10:56
The Diwali results are out and Ajit’s Varalaaru is the winner. The film had a 100 per cent opening during the weekend in five Chennai screens. Silambarasan’s Vallavan is at second place, with 100 per cent takings, but it has received mixed reports.
At number three is Shah Rukh Khan’s Don, which took 90 per cent on Friday and subsequently fell after the Tamil Diwali releases. In fourth place is Vetayadu Vilayadu, which is still continuing to attract huge crowds. Jeeva’s E is at fifth place, but its prospects may improve thanks to word-of-mouth publicity.

I am really happy that VV is still doing well at the box office,but sify's report saying that VV collected more than E (which is a new release) is kind of weird...Once again im saying this only cuz E obviously wud have released in more centers and atleast on the first day all shows wud have been full..VV on the other hand would have had 70-85% collections and the number of shows is also lesser when compared to E and other new releases like Vattaram..Any explanations??

Hi All,
I am a constant visitor to this hub for the last 12 months and loved the various topics been discussed here and in the literature forums but just became a member yesterday as I felt the need to be part of the activity.
But first things first......
I am a fan of our one and only Kamalhassan.
I watched VV 1st day of the 3 day it was screened in my place MPLS ,US and "IT ROCKED".
All 3 days the theatre was full and usually that does not happen here for a Indian movies especially for a Tamil or Telugu movie.Neat picture with a good performance from Thalaivar.

Very nice summary of all those punches SV !!! That first scene itself totally got me in to the movie !!! If I had watched this movie in Madras, I would have just whistled like crazy for those punches !!!
Especially when Kamal goes, "Dei Thambi, gate-a moodra ... O*THA moodra naaaa .... I was like WOWWWWW !!! And then his nakkal dialogues were makin me feel, OH no, the villains are gonna rip Kamal apart, but then Kamal starts rippin those guys up !! I'm like Yay Baby !!!! But the ultimate one was, he will beat the crap out of them, and all of a sudden turn back, and Harris' rockin music of Karka Karka and the song would follow !!!!"
Totally SMOKIN stuff dude !!!

I bet this is the best movie of the year 2006 .... an awesome portrayal of the life of a police officer .... Though there were some disturbing scenes, which were nearly necessary for the movie .... coz they were dealing with psycopaths ....

Chennai , Oct. 30
Is there any relation between the world of cinema and corporate management principles?
Is it possible to implement management principles in this industry, which is personality-driven? Actor Kamal Hassan, whose latest movie is Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu, is like a corporate organisation with leadership qualities, the ability to adapt, innovate and create movies that meet increasing customer expectation and satisfaction, said Mr S.

it seems that every new film (with big starcast) breaks the previous records
If this is the case, then pokkiri / azhwar will break varalaru's record, then sivaji / dasa will break pokkiri / azhwar 's record..... idhellaam unmaiyaa

koundarey, if you see the overall figure and that too in crores like 10 crores 15 crores ect you will feel like that, but in reality, a movie's profit is into 3 splits - exibitor, distributor, and producer, and heros and heroines get more benefit as they are paid, inspite of the movie's success.
in reality, they should post the profits like what they do in hollywood & bollywood

I think, hero & heroine pay will come under movie's making cost....
oru chinna sandhegam... for eg: Chandra muki.... oru oorula 4 theaterla release aanadhunnu vechupoam..... let first day ticket price will be Rs.500 (idhu unmaiyaakooda irukkaalaam)..... cm ran well for 100 days in most of the centers, with tkt prices gradually decreasing for forthcoming days.
Now, V V or varalaaru breaks the CM's 1st week collection (iam not a rajini fan
).... how?
is it released in more theaters with housefull shows or same amt of theaters as CM but tkt's priced for Rs.1000
edha vechu.... profits in first week are ever increasing (in releasing in tamilnadu theaters alone, don't consider overseas or other states)

for out satations, I can accept bcoz, now a days tamil films have bigger reach & more no. of theaters are ready to release them.
But coming to TN, what is the concept'ungnaa
ok, now consider this, varalaaru is released for 60% theaters is TN, all shows in first week is house full (for eg).
Then during sivaji & 10A release (as both are highly expected) each of them get 50% of theaters (theater count is not going to be increased within 6 months).... then how will u make those 2 bigger than varalaaru....... runs houseful for a week, but no. of theaters are less than varalaaru......
will u quote tkt prices for rs.1000 in opening week to equate the decrease in theater count....... (it can happen, who knows)
but still the news will be "sivaji & 10A - Records broken" - I dono how

`VV` creates city record!
Kamal Hassan’s Vetayadu Vilayadu directed by Gautham Menon has become the highest collecting film at the Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai. The film distributed by Oscar Films, has taken a record Rs 61.5 Lakhs in 63 days (9 weeks) as share from the theatre.
Vetayadu Vilayadu has broken the one-year-old record created by Oscar’s Anniyan, of Rs 60 Lakhs share from Sathyam Cinemas.
VV has been able to achieve this in less number of days due to tax exemption and high ticket rates.
Meanwhile VV has also been able to create a new Mount Road record by collecting a distributors share of Rs 61.5 Lakhs (Sathyam Cinemas) Rs 18 Lakhs (Melody) and Rs 37 Lakhs (Albert, though in Egmore is considered as a Mount Road theatre by trade).
A total of Rs 1. 16 Crore share from Mount Road area alone! Hats off to Gautham Menon, Kamal Hassan and ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran
----------
how much GAANDU they have ? They want to make it sound as if it is due to tax exemption only

Nerd,
VV could have broken all the city records, but unfortunately kamal and we kamal fans dont have neutral supportes who accept facts, and also there is no open system like in holly and bolly, thatswhy we hae to rely on allakais and jalras like sify vikatanect.
considering the type of plot and otehr issues, like violence, english dialogs, this record is really a great thing

Neither you nor I know the actual collections of VV (or any other movie for that matter) or the number of records that it managed to break..So it'd be extremely funny if we both have a debate on that topic..
Thats the elucidation for the first part..
The second part..I dont wanna elucidate....You could stay on whatever floor that you are already on

athai vidunga, i will tell u how a part my dear friends who are pucca rajini fans reacted......
FDNS (Night Show) they too came with enthu like any other fan,. but in second half they passed too many comments, finally siad that, soon VV will be screened in Sun TV, i countered that "sivajikku appuram than VV poduvaanga" they siad"sivaji trailor kooda poda maattan"
when it created opening records, they guessed that its due to some hype and wont sustain, also they madue fun on producer "i appricieate the producersi dea to relase more copeies of the movie, so that he can get (atleast) his investments back , something, whi he cannot getbact after some 10 days, "
when it stayed strong, they started to say that VV is not upto kamal's standard - i said that its low ONLY by his standard, for other actors, esp rajini, this will be himalayan standards in his career
then i mailed them the malaysian records, and other records it broken, they said that all films will break previous record, are you ready to bet for sivaji vs dasa, ....the arguement continued........
apart, they are very good friends of mine

nerd, if you people wont consider kamal's box office records in 80's (where his films outsmarted somerajini's films collection) and say "recent padam pathi pesunga" similarly people will discard rajini's excellent movies like mullum malarum, 6-60, which are of 80's period

IMO , there is nothing that KH & RK need to prove or achieve in life .
Then why the need for such arguments on BO !
RK may soon retire as there is a limit to his age & agility
KH probably another 3 to 5 years & then call it a day. ( he has little bit of youth left out )
I expect KH to play more realistic roles like Mohanlal from now
Wonder why he does change his face ? This liking for facial changeover is still there with him !

if you dont consider virumaandi tenali vasoolraja apnchathanthiram as getup changes, then he had done quite less changes only. But, when compared to others, it will appear as if he always changes his appearance
i would like to see him as long as nature permits youthness in his face, afterall, hsi simple looks in VV was very appealing, and it creates a very big happiness and satisfaction, than any otherr getup. u see real kamal performing........
but hey may give, this face change off - a break, after dasa, hopefully he himself would get bored or tired of that

`VV` creates city record!
By Moviebuzz | Friday, 03 November , 2006, 09:27
Kamal Hassan’s Vetayadu Vilayadu directed by Gautham Menon has become the highest collecting film at the Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai. The film distributed by Oscar Films, has taken a record Rs 61.5 Lakhs in 63 days (9 weeks) as share from the theatre.
Vetayadu Vilayadu has broken the one-year-old record created by Oscar’s Anniyan, of Rs 60 Lakhs share from Sathyam Cinemas. VV has been able to achieve this in less number of days due to tax exemption and high ticket rates.
Meanwhile VV has also been able to create a new Mount Road record by collecting a distributors share of Rs 61.5 Lakhs (Sathyam Cinemas) Rs 18 Lakhs (Melody) and Rs 37 Lakhs (Albert, though in Egmore is considered as a Mount Road theatre by trade).
A total of Rs 1. 16 Crore share from Mount Road area alone! Hats off to Gautham Menon, Kamal Hassan and ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran

Not only him, almost avery rajinifan i met, said that only. but it worked ot totally the opposite way and became tha biggest his of 2006.
also, the next biggest grosser in 2006 is far away from VV. we have to ait for complete Godfather's results. Except rjini all actors had their release this year.

no! every prominent thamizh movie appears in the top ten. GF has been no. 1 since the day of release. Is it a record?
guys chill.
what I think of VV is not going to change the situation. it is my opinion and is only for those who want to read my review.
just for everyone's info, for one person posting in this forum, there are 100s of silent readers.
and joe, I've always wanted to tell you this: your review of VV and mine are identical! yes! strip your writings of your love for kamal, and it will reflect my opinion too. when you are free, compare both and you will see what I mean.
its only that I dont have the time or energy to go on a argument marathon.

VV holds the No.1 Collection for 2006, (Godfather reults awaited)
So when it holds the 2nd position, in Malay Box Office, it wont come to the bottom suddenly, orit wont disappear suddenly, in that case, it would have easily stayed for 5 weeks in top 10

andSOK and Emtan mahan getting topslots is quite natural as they were new\quite new releases, but adgain you see VV bact at No.3
:
after taht there where no tamil movies, so it dont make sense, and you need to locate a link with ONLY tamil movies, , for you to understand that VV Stayed Top in Malay box office, when compared to other movies

CM opened in all cinemas in Malaysia.
and when I wanted to take my elderly mum for the movie and spoke to the chinese manager, he told me that CM has broken all collection records in Malaysia and that he doesnt expect such a huge commercial hit to be repeated for the next few years. he was running five shows everyday then.
you dont have to take my word for it - call

i saw the archives of april 2005, CM stayed for 5 weeks and then disappeared, no other tamil movies are seen along, not like current situation where perarasu, something something, SOk, EMtan Mahan Thimiru ect existed and released during VV period. So VV creaed record INSPITE of those movies, and there were no options durig 2005 summer. Also you msut see august should not a cavation period in malay too, and VV had its own minus points, naangalum evlo thadavai than ithayellam solrathu, ignoring all there and just point blank comparing CM and VV or Rajini and kamal, on this BO aspect is not fair, right?
the point is, VV created records, INSPITE OF ALL THESE THINGS
is there any BO info websites for singapore?

Sakala CM is the biggest indian grosser to date in both Singapore and Malaysia...In singapore chandramukhi managed to go past three months which in itself is a record when films usually get changed after 1 months plus. VV is still running for two months but i think it is going to be taken off next week or so. VV and CM are the biggest indian grossers in SG with CM having more amounts.
As for Malaysia i remember reports in their daily newspaper talking abt the massive amount generated by the movie. But it soon made way for ghajini and other movies. Stayed for two or three months or so.
BTW why the fuss...VV is already a megahit..do we still have to discuss whether it breaks records or now...we should be focussing on dasaavatharam rather than seeing which record it breaks while dasa looks like it will smash VV records thrice. Trust me dasa will break VV's records along with shivaji. Double wonder

I was just going through those links NOV had posted...VV stayed in the Malaysian BO top 10 for 5 weeks..(started at No.1 in the 1st week)..CM,on the other hand,stayed in the top 10 for 6 weeks (also started at No.1 in the first week).
To make it simple..CM-6 weeks
VV-5weeks
So i guess we can safely assume that CM was the biggest grosser in 2005 among tamil movies running for 6 weeks..
So cant we also say VV is the highest grosser in 2006 having run for 5 weeks???

[tscii]Looks like everyone is suddenly an expert on the Malaysian situation.
Would advise people not to pass their expectations as facts.
Here is my final word on this issue:
then i mailed them
the malaysian records, and other records it broken, they said that all films will break previous record,
Not true. VV did not make any new records in Malaysia. What is true is that VV had a decent run in Malaysia.
I checked Malaysia Nanban, Tamil Nesan and Makkal Osai today. Godfather, after running for two weeks, is still being shown in 32 cinemas all over Malaysia today. I'm sure it would have started on a bigger scale.
vv is the biggest indian hit of 2006 in malasia...do u disagree?...i need ur answer whether do u agrre that vv is the biggest Indian hit of 2006 in mal in 2006
No idea. There are still two more months and as you can see GF is still running. See
http://www.gsc.com.my/version2/default3.asp. GF is still in no. 1 position in GSC cinemas.
Veyyil is opening on the 17th Nov. So which movie collects the most is anybody's guess for now.
As for Malaysia i remember reports in their daily newspaper talking abt the massive amount generated by the movie.
But it soon made way for ghajini and other movies. Stayed for two or three months or so.
AFAIK, chandramukhi's record is still unbroken. It ran five shows for over 50 days in Colliseum. Average for good tamil movies in Malaysia is two weeks.
All i do know is that VV and CM are the biggest indian grossers in Singapore and Malaysia so far.
Usually they focus more on english box officer records than other foreign releases...
VV biggest grosser?
2nd statement is completely wrong as far as malaysia is concerned.
Malaysia and Singapore usually gets lumped together and this is acceptable in most cases. But tamil cinema is entirely different.
1. Malaysia has about 2 million Indians (almost 50% of Singapore’s entire population) and almost 90% of them are Tamil speaking. Thus Malaysia is a significant market for Tamil movies – making it the largest tamil market outside TN. Comparatively Singapore market is insignificant.
2. Tamil films enjoy prime status in Malaysia and is featured in the best cinema chains and halls like KLCC (twin towers), Megamall, Sunway, etc. with the most superior sound systems like THX, Dolby and DTS. All major cinema chains like TGV (Tanjung Golden Village), GSC and Cathay feature tamil films regularly. In fact the only surviving stand-alone cinema (as opposed to cineplexes) in the whole of Kuala Lumpur – Colliseum – only shows Tamil movies.
I was made to understand (by Joe?) that the situation is very different in Singapore and tamil films are run on 2nd and 3rd level cinemas of independent operators. Other Singapore hubbers can confirm this.
3. Tamil films outperform Malay, Hindi and even Hollywood films. Only Chinese films are on par with Tamil films as far as business is concerned.
There used to be a website called
www.ayngaran.com...they had info on the run..not the money thought...i guess you can check out with them..they are the distributors for indian movies in SG and Malaysia.
Totally wrong!
Since the market for tamil films is big in Malaysia, TF producers sell Malaysian rights to Malaysian distributors like Lotus Five Star, Veenai Holdings etc. England based Ayngaran and its likes have nothing to do in Malaysia.
In fact due to the large market in Malaysia, Malaysian distributors sometimes own international rights to many Tamil movies and audio. A good example is my friend Akilan whose Agi Music has total international rights (except India) for the production and distribution of Godfather audio.
Thats it folks. Now you have the real picture.

thatswhy i mentioned that CM got screened in less no of screens for which i forgot the source, i said this info manytimes.........read back
now dont tell GF released in 32screens and came close,thats a recent thing
no doubt that 2006 No.1 Grosser is VV
if you tell VV is still less gross than CM, then i have a different answer for tht

Even VV was shattering and creating records, that doesnt mean that they dont consider kamal as big or they always far t release during a rajini film is on run.....all depends on business, when anniyan kind of movie was in due with oscar, while VV period, for example, then also he would release 1 \ 2 monts later. and we cannot say thats due to box office power of kamal

As anyone seen the movie The Bone Collector with Denzel Washington?
It is an awesome movie / murder mystery set in NYC. Came out at least 6-7 yrs ago.
Anyway, in the movie....The murder is a doctor as well and goes around leaving bones of his dead victims. The hero, Denzel, was a cop but is now handicapped because of an accident.
It's very similar to VV.

I dont consider USUALLY second string theatres, "tent-kottakaikaL" and big-screen projection TVs especiallly when we are talking about "record-breaker"!
The success is counted only based on how long it runs in theares/complex in which IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED. That everybody knows but the "god"!
I am just giving what is given in now-running!

Dear Thamiz,
Only those days( 90- 2000) ppl use to drag movies for 100,200 days to show it is a block buster. (Those days no cd,dvd- or commercial TVs). Now you're in 2006 boss. Those 200 days collection will be just taken in 25 days. Will you believe this?.. coz those days 25 rupees is the highest rate. Now the scenario is entirely different. Hope you aware of the new trend. 5 shows on weekends, spl shows,, heavy pricing(ticket) and more theatres.
If a movie is screened in 11 theatres in chennai and ran successfully in all the theatres, it would have maximum covered all the major cinema goers. So obviously, the shows would have come down. But still, it is solid in the above theatres you mentioned.
So VV is a block buster.. There is no second thought about it..

I dont have any second thoughts in declaring that this movie is a Hit! I am happy that everybody made a fortune after going through lots of trouble.
But, there is lots of "overdose" given by the fans here.
I keep the contents of your posts espeially how one should define as block-buster for the future reference. I hope it applies for other movies as well. Thanks!

Who am I to make rules, 'god'? I dont understand why you have to overreact for anything I say and misinterpret everything.
As far as I can see I did not make any rules and I never will. I just wanted a "two-way" street in judging a movie's success.

I did checked satyam website and still being showed at studio 5 9.45 shows. B'cos all the movies are being replaced. E is only one show and so as vallavan 3 shows . Varalaru will be replaced/shifted to other theatre as the bond movie is getting released. It will hit 100 days surely.

There's different type of records, the one you're talking about is 'running in one theatre for more than one year' i think anyone can do it now..
try as hard as you can in this hub.. does it make any difference?

So..u do agree it's been played in studio 5.
Then, how could you post that it's been completely taken off from satyam cineflex. Really felt bad.. But any way..Be more postive..I guess u r just another kamal disliker.. ( i haven't use any harsh words...as i felt it is against humanity). It's my opinion. Pls don't mistake me. I am expressing my views.
Once again, i seek your pardon, if I anyway hurted you.

Dont you think you are making a big deal out of a statement even after admitting that I was not quite correct.
BTW, the
capacity of studio 5 is 150 seater. IMHO, it is TOO small for a BIG HIT!

and this marks the point that if an elite audience want to see VV in a quality theatre, still Satyam Cineplex has it
and as sify said, its being in releasd in 2nd round theatres and is doing well there...

It is not running in kasi or gopikrishna. It is being shown only in baby albert (2 shows) & studio 5(night).
It was released in 10 theatres & ran for 9 weeks in all of them. I doubt whether any other movie has had such a run.
So, the current debate as to why it is only running in small theatres is a non issue.

Selva,
Nandri hai
Anniyan didnt run as well as VV in TN and overseas....
Not sure which did better in Kerala...
About the avatar, it was 'removed' by the mods before i was banned and i don't have any pics with me right now
General pointer to Doubting Thomases:
It is not 1947 when 100 day runs were the norm... a movie's fate and collections are determined in the opening weeks... sleeper hits like Kaadhal etc are exceptions but even in their case, because they are low budget films, they turn out to be profitable relatively...
Any moderate/big budget movie will cash in on opening runs by virtue of # of screens, seats and ticket prices...
In most cases, the # of days is only of academic interest. We can see ample proof of that in the internet as well as in magazines, more importantly from people who have access to exhibitors and distributors' figures (authentic and first-hand).....
VV being taken out in Diwali and subsequently was expected long back (written even in this very thread) and people "rejoicing" its exit from theatres or the movie running only in 2 theatres NOW don't seem to know the facts

In kerala always Ajith , Kamal and Vikram's films are a rage... so no doubt both would have done well.
Overseas as far as i heard VV did a great job and maintained it
But i have not seen a technically superior film in recent past [ even anniyan was not technically as superior ] like VV... VV was amazing from that point.
Of course Kamal's underplay
and Isai Idi Thalaivar Harris' Music

To the same question asked to him in an interview he replied that it was simply because he didn't have the time to excercise because he was busy with other stuff at that time. He also said "venumna VV padam character-ukaga weight potten-nu poi sollikkalaam"

goutham said he said kamal not to do any special things for VV...he needs kamal as kamal...like early 80s.
See the first promo for VV :

To the same question asked to him in an interview he replied that it was simply because he didn't have the time to excercise because he was busy with other stuff at that time. He also said "venumna VV padam character-ukaga weight potten-nu poi sollikkalaam"

Kamal looked slightly overweight in VV. He shoukd have trimmed further. Also, he seemed disinterested in a few scenes.
There was even talk that there were disagreements between kamal & gautham. Also kamal has not praised gautham for the good work done in the film.
He has praised arya for a mediocre performance in vattaram.
Strange!

Gautham has mentioned that Aandavar was angry because of the problems surrounding the film.... At the same time, he is a thorough prof essional to be committed to the film and give his best ..
And about Aandavar praising Arya/Vattaram... ellam oru anbu thollaya irundhirukkum nu ninaikkaren... Saran varpuruthi kooptiruppaaru... Rendu nalla varthai sollithaane aganum...
Reminds me of the *positive* comments made by actors after the Alavandhaan premier

That is what he is asking why? Why u are considering him as new entry to Kamal Camp. Since he is directing second film with Kamal
Shankar is planning to direct Kamal for long time for movie Robo. Would u include him in Kamal Camp if he directs that movie

I will explain what kamal camp wala means (though U guys knownit but hate to admit it).
santhana bharathi & singeetham are high in the list - the typical "YES SAAR" category. i.e they "direct" as per kamal's instructions. Saran did s he ws "told" in vasool raja. Gautham (maybe) did not & therefore he is unlikely to direct kamal again.
KB & balu mahendra do not fall in this list since they have been responsible for kamal's successes over the years.
Why, SPM had a tough time in per sollum pillai. So did sethu madhavan in nammavar. Though his name figured in the titles, it is well known that he hardly directed the film.
Though the pooja for indian was conducted, the shooting started much later. KB intervened & sorted out issues between shanker & kamal.
For kamal, directors are of 2 kinds :
1. Director who directs kamal (remote species today)
2. Director who is "directed" by kamal to direct him.
Understood?

More or less agree on this one...
By his own admission, his philosophy is "Are you confident to direct me? I'm game... If not, let me handle it" [Read it in a magazine sometime].
That said, w.r.t Saran in VR MBBS, which Aandavar did for 'kadamai' or Anbu [L.v Prasad's grandson], he just let Saran direct him because his role was strictly limited to the 'actor' part, or just his part...
He didn't interfere in VV too, apart from a suggestion or two here and there...

VasoolRaja did not had Kamal's touch by the way. Dramatic in many places compared to the original.
Also Kamal was never interested in doing that movie. It is just for the producer he did that and he gave just 45 days callsheet for that movie.
Kamal would have given some tips/suggestions. he would be doing that for any film for that matter

we can see the directors style in kamals movies if they are directed by the director himself...else kamal all the way!
eg.balu mahendra in sathi leelavathi...typical style !
vataiyadu vizhaiyadu- goutham
indian - shankar
but handling kamal needs lots of confidence for young directors....hats off to goutham for doing it easily with kamal!
we could easily say kamal dint interfere!
but anbe sivam,avvai shanmugi,mahanadhi ...

when a movie ispenned by kamal, i mean, if he does story\screenplay\dialogs, then the person in thenamecards is a dummy director and kamal is the indirector....that means, kamal will write entire thing in the script itslef, like,
ambiance of the location
lighting
things to be present in the scene
type of camera\lens to be used
costumes+color of them to be worn by actors,
mood of each character,
facial expression
mode of delivering dialog
all will be in paper, and the dummy would just execute them in reality, with kamal's presence. he would add corrections if needed, to co-artists

on the other hand, when i saw vasoolraja, i didnt knew about munnabai's storyline...i found trong resemblence to tenali
jayaram - prakashraj
jothika - sneha
kattipudi vaithiyam - treatment
in tenali(vrmbbs), everyone except jayaram(prakashraj) will like him, and jayaram(prakashraj) would try to send him out of his home(hospital) byt tenali(rajaram) will win the hearts of everyone there
there would be no strong reason for jyothika(sneha) to fall in love on hero
jayaram(prakashraj) will laugh for unknown reasons whenever he is tensed and he(he) will have a change in heart, in the end of the movie
both movie insists doctors to treat their patients patiently, with love
in any crazy-kamal combo, the heroine's name is (boringly) one out of malathi\mythili janaki
both tenali and vrmbbs followed this rule, too

Is this really true?Kamal has shown why he is the best in the cinema industry.Even the great Mani was not let alone
Anyhow he did a great job... do u know MGR saw the film more than once and was bowled over by KH's acting and praised him a lot
I heard this from a friend...
Nayagan was a movie which could never be remade effectively with anyone else... i dont think even KAMAL can pull that off now... had lots of instincts which moves the heart .... KH + ILAIYARAJA + MANI wow what a combo that was... hope they unite again for a movie

It is months since Vettaiyadu Vilayadu has hit the theatres, yet it sustained the Diwali releases and is flying high in collections. Gautham Menon seems to be on a high and if you think it was due to the box office success of VV you are only partially true.
Vettaiyadu vilayadu
He is still relishing the time he had worked with Kamal and blooms with excitement while talking about the experience.
Keeping up with the versatile Kamal is a tough task by itself, Gautham confides. He is competent in all areas of movie making and hence I had a constant fear to do things perfectly for every shot of the movie, unlike in my other movies Minnale and Kakka Kakka. I have never seen him shower congratulations. On the other hand his pleasing smiles say it all. He shook my hands after seeing the completed movie and said, ‘we have performed well’. I consider it a great honor, exclaimed Gautham.
Gautham is now busy finalising Pachaikkili Muthucharam with Sarathkumar and Jyothika in the lead

VV had great collections... if DASA becomes a blockie, which almost sure, kamal wud have generated about 150 crores at the BO in less than a year... that will ensure funds for marudanaayagam... :P

Of Course. But back to back blockbusters might ensure the funds from foreign countries what he was expecting from the beginning of the Project. :P
but assuming 150 profit for VV+10V is too much

DASA will have a wider base of audience, and its going to be released in holidays, without much competition......

though its un-official, here is the collection figures, that i got from a very reliable source......
TAMIL NADU collections:
VV- 36 crores
CM - 57 crores....
OVER ALL collections:
VV - 70 to 80 (excluding andhra)
CM - about 110 crores...
i posted CM's collections just to have that as a benchmark...

Coming back to the topic,
nowrunning is much better than chennai online. Because according to chennai online there are TWO MOVIES running in Kasi morning show.
I would greatly appreciate if you disprove my claim as wrong rather than getting personal on me! Thank you!

The problem is that you dont question our claims..You come here and give out wrong info as if you are an authority..You sit in front of your computer and look at a couple of sites to see what movies are running where
But i am a resident of Chennai who actually travels by some of these theaters that you are talkin about..And there are ppl here who actually know what they are talking about..
BTW nobody owns any thread here..However if you start making it a habit of dropping into certain threads only to pass biased/wrong/sarcastic comments on an actor/movie that some adore, you gotta be prepared to take some backlash as well..Fair enough?

That is one more impossible thing in the current situation.
At the most 10 days a movie can run housfull for all the shows. After 2 weeks it is very rare we can see housefull shows in the morning and noon shows. It will be applicable for any movie in my opinion. After 2 weeks we can see housefull shown in week ends and evening shows and to an extent night shows.
There was one record. Sakalakala vallavan ran for 1000 continous housefull shows in chennai. If we consider 4 theatres it is around 25 days continous housefull days.
I dont think any other movie broke that record

thiru....what I meant by packed houses is...the film will have more than 75% on week days audience...this is the minimum criteria in the film trade....and on weekends housefull or more than 95% audience...

First of all no one gives reliable BO reports in TN.
As of now i am taking Sify reports. They are the only one who atleast does some homework on collecting BO info, even though they are biased.
The best ever one day record in Chennai for any movie is around 25 lakh. That is for VV. That is a Friday. In the weekends(sat and sun) on the opening week could have been 30 lakhs since weekend. This is only for chennai City. If we consider suburban say 40 lakh in a day. That too in initial days the ticket prices will be more than the consequent days.
Remember 40 lakh collection is not possible for all the days. In a month only in weekends it is possible for a blockbuster movie. I would say 40 lakh collection would be possible for 10 days max. Even my calculation could be a bit exagerated. Do u think yesterday VV collected 40 lakhs.
It may not be running more than 15 theatres in chennai and suburban at the moment. That too maximum theatres are second grade theatres where ticket prices would be 1/3 considering Main theatres.
Think and do some calculation then u will understand

Black marketing is not applicable for all the days. At most 10 to 15 days. That too not for all the days the same money involved. Say for example in the first week end 100 Rs ticket can be sold for 300. In the second week end the same 100 Rs ticket would be 200 Rs and reduces as day goes. If we consider 1000 seater theatre not all the 1000 seats are sold for black. That too only few percent will go for theatre owners in turn ditributor in turn producer. I dont want to go in very detail.
For ur satisfaction add 2 more crore to what i calculated.

I think the 1st movie to release in prarthana was Guna & it had a 6 week run.
Coming to VV, it was a pleasure watching the real Kamal haasan after a long time. By real, I mean sans any make-up/get-up.
Only the violence was a little too much. Gautham could have trimmed it. Also, kamal should have trimmed a little bit.
Also, I think VV had the max. no of theatres (10) while release, in chennai. I doubt whether any other film has been released in so many theatres.
Mumbai X was released in 9 theatres.
Interestingly, (for those who believe)the famous astroleger balajosier had predicted some months back that VV would become a superhit for kamal & place him on par with rajini. Of course "on par" is a debatabale point.

I did not say on par. It ws mentioned in the paper so.
If U ask which actor had more fans, it would have to be kamal simply bcos he has equal number of fans in a,b & c centres, while rajni has mostly in c, some in b & not much in a.
Also, kamal is more widley known & admmired in other states than any other non-hindi actor.

Yes,Rajini has fan in Andra..He established his fan base there after Badsha..But Kamal has been a Star there from Marocharithra ,Saagara sangamam,Swathy mutyam days..Undoubtfully Kamal has more fan following in andra .Ask anybody from Andra ,they will arue like as if Kamal is their own Telugu actor.

Talking of kerala, kamal when asked why he does not do mallu films, replied that they could not afford him.
If only he could reduce his price & act in a few mallu films, he would be able to explore new heights as an actor. He need not just restict himself to tamil.
Also, I wonder he is he so obsessed to make films in both hindi & tamil. The hindi film audience is simply not intelligent enough to appreciate the nuances of his acting & films.

thats gross under estimation of Rajini's fans.........he has a lot of class fans too........its just an impression that ppl. think educated ppl. will like only kamal and not rajini......ppl. who have seen Gayathri,moondru mudichhu, 6-ilirundhu 60-varai, know the real class of Rajini

you took it wrong, as usual, 1st of all kamal is not a mainstream bollywood artist like those u mentioned. he goes there with some gap between his previous films and really somehow, northies didnt get it right r didnt take it a worth when it came to kamals films, i also accept that kamal too didint take his bollywood attempts very seriously as he does in tamil.
u cant bring in ARR here, he does hindustani and western. even his is slightly pushed backnow by himesh....
as kamal is not in mainstream, his films are not views so natively i think......the real director of lagaan is not aamir but you know who got the major limelight? same goes for his other films too. here in tamil kamal dont get that much amount of respect....but still he successfully survives, dont you think that itself is not great???

no doubt, rajini has very verynless no of class audience, and simply its becos,, in the last 10\15 yrs he didnt try his hand in that kind of films, i remember valli whaich was aflop, eventho it was a very good try from rajini. thalapathi is not viewd as a best class movie, of both mani & rajini. the winner of thalapathi is illayaraja only...
its a open fact that rajini wasted quite a lot of his films by ading political messages, and no one expected a class from him....even sivaji is expected as a mass entertainer. but whats wrong in that, let him entertain the masses, no problem...

all i told was, as smith said, Hindi audiences wont understand nuances of kamal's movies and his acting, i asked him then how come they understand other class performers???that includes kamal as well......he is one of the most respected performers in Hindi too......

IMO,Kamal and rajini has almost equal no of dedicated fans ..But where Rajini took the edge is ,He has more Female an children audience compare to kamal,since Rajini movies are out and out entertainment nowdays .Chldren and most of women coudln't go with kamal's serious type of movies ,complicated concepts and deep naunces.

Compare to other top heroes ,nowadays kamal movis has less punch dialogues ,hero glorifying ,savalukku saval etc etc for fans to clap ,whistle and make noise ..In movie like anbe sivam ,mahanathi his characters are just ordinary man with postive and negative ..He can be beaten by others ..So you can't expect whistle ,noise ,karpoora arathi from fans compare to others..Apart from few hardcore kamal fans ,there are huge kamal fans who never even clap or whisle when kamal appears ...
so estimating fan following just by the sound,noise ,whistle inthe teatre will give you wrong impression and thus some actors overestimate their public support and they assume they have huge followers ,even offscreen.

I too not agree in saying educated fans or kamal fans ,not rajinis..Most of my educated friends are Rajini fans ,but they respect Kamal than rajini and they never miss kamal movies ,but not vey keen in wathing rajini movies ..When I ask him why like this they say "I like Rajni,his style ,fun..That is all ,but kamal is genius..I don't take rajini movies seriously ,but still I am rajini fan"

maddy, this topic can go wrong very easily, and it went. actually the point is, everyone will like a rajini film if he does some good class act\performance\stuff, the thing is he dont does that, so its quite less in number, when it comes to class headcount for rajini, and no one complained too, everyone has their own speciality, thatsall. topic change.....

both had viceverse when kamal did films like devarmagan\aboorva sagotharargal, and when rajini did mullu malarum\6-60 ect......

so estimating fan following just by the sound,noise ,whistle inthe teatre will give you wrong impression and thus some actors overestimate their public support and they assume they have huge followers ,even offscreen.
I am one of them.
But I also agree that Rajni has a lot of fans among the educated people.Among my relatives,my Uncle,a highly qualified CA who is the CFO of a reputed petrochemical company is a huge fan of Rajni&likes only Comedy films of Kamal.
A lot from the younger generation(Engg students,Software engineers)also like Rajni.The reason being they don't like films like Guna,Mahanadhi,Hey Ram-serious themes.

Yea even the chess master of the south?The guy who won many chess events confessed he is a rajini fan on koffee with anu...
But i can see that there is alot respect between both set of fans nowadays.And u don't need to say about both set of actors both have a huge amount of rescpect for each other

cinefan, i too is a non-clapping, non-whistiling fan,but i like to change, bcos i cant do that after 5 or 6 yrs from now!!!! afterall everyone likes to express that kind of extreme enjoyment...leave it...
i disagree from your statement. today's youth is a mix of both rajini and kamal, those youth who dont care or dislike kamal's, are those who are not ready to see intellectualism, subtle thoughts, tharkkam\logical conversation, ect and those who are not interestde in deep discussions on why soceity is like this, that, ect......but that doesnt mean they dont care for soceity, afterall the same youth will clap and whistle whenever they see\hear some good 'messages' in films, like anniyan gentleman ramana and all had a messages. those messages reach them easily and they dont want to go further intellectual. they also will clap whenever President Abdul kalaam is glorified on screens.......nothing bad, anyway. Same logic applies with female - children audience too. thatswhy kamal has a bit less of them. but all these groups enjoy kamal's comedies verymuch
why i say "mix of both" is, there is equally other part of youth, who, DO get the nauncial messages in kamal films very much clearly and adore them too. i can show you 1st year engg students who will supportively argue for kamal, against rajini, and they dont care much about ajith\vijay\likes.....the reason is today's exppsition, broadband, newspapers, dedicated tv channels, and they get lot of intellectual stuff too....so naturally they like verymuch an intellectual thoughtprovoking kamal's film. so, both kamal and rajini has equal potential in today's youth.
somehow, rajini is on top, on entertainment and mass end, and kamal is on top, at deep soceity caring, thoughtfullness ect. for a good soceity, a mix of these both sense is must. It wont be nice to see everyone areuing intellectually and always quite-serious, or everyone ejoying, always staying in lighter vein, and not having any foresight on soceity, ect...
More intellectual kamal and rajini with quite-less-of-that, both enjoy equal place bcos, THEY BOTH ARE ORIGINAL

Why not every college student enjoys KAMAL's Panchatantram...Tenali...Vasool Raja...
His flair for comedy is something i havent seen so far among any hero
I wish he does Lage Raho Munnabhai instead of letting Jeyam Ravi DO it

very very wrong and gross generalisation of ppl. who dont like kamal's ideas......
.........i dont prescribe to many Kamal's philosophies/ideologies but that doesent make me non-intelligent......i love movies like Swades,RDB which are in no way less intellectual/subtle than Kamal's movies......and i'm as patriotic as kamal fans........i also like Kamal's movies like Nayagan, Mahanadhi, MMKR, Punnagai Mannan........its just that i dnt like some of his ideas........
you got to leave it as a opinion and not generalise that it is un-intellectual to dislike kamal.....
i like Rajini for his earlier day movies, where he excelled as an actor.....i know wat he's capable of and is not able to do bcos of his commercial constraints.......but i'm sure, b4 retiring he will make a class movie for fans like us.......and
i'm proud to be a rajini admirer ......

maddy, very very wrong understanding, i never said that disliking kamal ins un-intellectualism, what i said is that, they dont like to see that kind of intellectualism, or they dont like to get that much deep, thatsall, they have their own way of intellectualism, or soceity-caring, thoughtfullness or whatever it is, and they can think totally different and contarory from both kamal and rajini too, afterall they are youth, they have their own brains.
i didnt generalise too, but i said in perspective of kamal and rajini, i said about people who are into either kamal or rajini, not about the rest of others. no way i glorified kamal\his fans or insulted rajini\his fans. thatsall

VV has always been mystery to me with lot of things that happened in the past...
- While VV crew were in New York, Kamal was busy interacting with hollywood technicians to learn about costume designing for his next movie Dasavatharam...
- During the audio launch of VV, Kamal spoke very few words about VV's songs... He directly started talking about his next movie Dasavatharam...
- Kamal didn't show up for the "preview" show of VV while most of Kollywood big-wigs including Rajinikanth were present along with Gautham while watching the preview show...
- Why Kamal was not invited for the premiere of Gautam's next two movies "Pachaikilli Muthucharam" & "Vaaranam Aayiram"?
- Will there be a 100 day celebration being organized? If yes, will Kamal participate in it?
This is just leading me to "speculate" while shooting VV - Kamal & Gautham didn't had good working relationship?

This is just leading me to "speculate" while shooting VV - Kamal & Gautham didn't had good working relationship?
The following are excerpts from a Gautham interview..He clearly states that he and Kamal didnt exactly hit it off with each other cuz Kamal had reservations about the project.
How difficult was it directing a director?
"I was directing a super actor. But, actually No. Because... lots of stuff happened between me and him because of the production. He was pissed off with change in producer, the film was not taking off, his time was getting delayed all. He was very unhappy and hesitant initially. He was like "Bunch of kids, what they gonna make" and stuff like that. He kept to himself mostly. So I'll give him the scene, he'll take a look at it and he'll act. He'll make a couple of changes... Simple ones, like "Can I hook this line and this line?" He would tell me when you write, you tend to write a little more. "You can cut this line." So I take stuff from him. He let me handle it. I can never say he bossed over. He totally understood what I wanted. I wanted a subtle performance from him, the character demanded that and he went for the right variations."
Did he manage to break ice with the legend subsequently?
"Well, as much as ice could be broken, we broke. It can't get beyond that ever, I think. When you write something on paper, and when you see somebody peforming that to the hilt... To the T... you realise it's awesome. And, he gives you much more than that. Certain expressions of his, you can never write. He would do something different for every scene. But we kept him totally subtle throughout. His character demanded him to subtle, quiet and soft, which he understood. As much as co-operation there was, there was from him. No complaints at all. It was a beautiful experience working with him because I learnt a lot in terms a lot on how my writing should be. Like, how an actor's expression should be written, which we don't tend to do because we write in the classic screenplay format. Whatever I asked him to do, he did. I asked him to jump in the sea he did that. I asked him to run and shoot on the road, he did that. He was extremely co-operative.

he had some disagreement with gautam, but still, he DID what gautam wanted, without questioning. see, if kamal and gautam are not having same view on story, they dont have to fight.....and kamal almost had decided to do it as a gautam movie....thatswhy he appeared for a small bit of time, in the preview intervew....and the real problem was with producer, the 75lacs check issue is one thing we know, we dont know others, generally kamal will get the city rights of his films but this time, it was sold to oscar ravi, and i dunno how this happened?? i doubt kamal got the ecxpected salary for VV, thatswhy he keps off. he has no qualms with gautam, at one poit he had gautam in mind, for directing dasa........later, things changed

Smith: Actually kamal is arranging for the finance for this film.. that's also one among the reason he is there in US for quiet some time (even after film shooting).
Sometime back, I read it in a tamil daily that he is already circulated some dvds to his known sources( actual film shot for MN) and in process of raising funds for MN. So, his hunt will definitely get his dream going.
I would recollect one thing: Adimai pen (MGR movie) was made in his 60's. For MN, most of his young age scenes were already shot. The question of MN is dream has got an answer. It is going to hit the screens. But, only the time and date is unknown. Already 20 crores have gone in to MN. So, kamal will difinitely get this in.
We all ( kamal fans, even anti kamalians) wanted to see the movie soon,sooner & soonest.
One another important news: During the time of election, kamal was offered 100 crs and even funding for his period movie MN, if he is ready for the compaign. Kamal has rejected that offer. So, he definitely has sources to bring in MN for sure.

Andavan, i am sorry if I was wrong.But, i heard this thalaivar has said this in one of interview, while making hey ram. Actually, 8 crs would have been spent for their 40 days shot at jaipur I guess.
Anyway, thanks for the info. I guess, we all can try about the rebirth of either kamal rasigan or mayyam. So that, we can share all the info into it.

When kamal's rasigar manrams broke up, its thalaivar nagarajan lamented that he was running mayyam even though it was a loss for him.
So, I guess it did not really hit off well with kamal fans.

Don't know what was the comment that led to this response. But there has been some contention about the historical accuracy.
From the trailer (and from Sujatha's interview which someone had posted recently) it seems that the hero's 'conversion' was quite central to the theme of the film.
A few months back I saw a programme on Tamizhan TV. One guy who had done his MPhil about the history of Marudhanaayagam, stated that there was no evidence that he was born in a Hindu family and had converted into Islam. The guy went off an a tangent and started suspecting Kamal's motives and it became quite more amusing than interesting. (as a sidenote, I find this to be the case with most talkshows on Thamizhan TV).
Historically, there is another strand of argument that says Marudhanayagam, reportedly, was the one responsible for defeating PulithEvan, who is celebrated as a hero by the thEvar community. In his two ventures in the area (ThEvar Magan and Virumaandi) Kamal managed to come out unscathed, even though he presented the community in less than glorious light. Quite curiously it seemed to have the opposite reaction !
Marudhanayagam may not the exactly the best man to glorify but from the looks of the trailer it looks like one helluva film. One can be doubly sure if the hero has shades of gray, nobody can paint it better than Kamal. Hey Ram and Kurudhippunal are 2 examples - although he changed gears and ended up redeeming his protagonist, which I suspect may be for commercial reasons.
The trailer looked great. The shot where the boulder is rolled down to crush one of the guys following was unbelievablly real. The tumbling-down-the-waterfall-sequqnce seemed very close to the Saket-Mythili tumbling in Hey Ram.
Time is really running out on it. I hope he makes it soon.

There is no authentic history avl on maruthanayagam. So, why kamal decided to take it up is a mystery.

My God; I can't believe that Maruthanayagam remains unfinished. The trailer was fantastic. After watching it, I had to remind myself that this was not a complete film, so putting the title on my 'must buy' DVD list would be useless. I wonder if Kamal is taking advantage of his overseas visits to woo investors. I'm surprised that companies like Miramax, WB, Icon, etc have not jumped on the bandwagon. Many Hollywood based production have funded/co-produced/ distributed other foreign films from China, Hong Kong, Iran, etc. Or even European companies.
In some ways, I wish Kaml had not done part of the movie; I'm eager to see the whole thing, but if the funds are not there, then we may never see one of the best films from the Asia Pacific region.

VV 100th day celebrations grand event planned
One of the biggest blockbusters of the year 2006 Vettaiyadu Vilayadu is reaching its 100th day all over on the 24th of December. The movie encountered myriad hurdles before its release and Producer Manikkam Narayanan came for rescue spending crores to bring the movie to theatres. Manikkam is obviously beset with the response VV has received at the box office.
Kamal
Though VV is cropping loads of money from its revenues, the movie has not benefited the producer Manikkam Narayanan financially. Instead, it is learnt that the distributors who bought the movie are a happy lot. Manikkam has now decided to remake the movie in Hindi and dub in Telugu as well.
Although initial response for the movie was lukewarm, constructive reviews released by the media consecutively elevated its status to a box office success. Kamal’s magic combined with diligent Gautham’s meticulous handling of the plot and Haris Jeyaraj’s foot tapping music spearheaded the movie.
Manikkam has decided to celebrate the success of VV on the 24th December at Satyam theatres. Kamal, who is currently on tour in the US for his Dasavatharam is also expected to attend the celebrations.
---------
Finally, telugu audience can expect VV soon !

aandavar has said quite a lot of things in his speech, anyway some parts needs special decoding
he addressed us, kamal fans in his speech and mentioned that he has a care on his fans, First they are social helpers, and after that only they are my fans, said aandavar. it seems he mentioned about that "nabigal naayagam poster" issue
he later sad that we fans shoud do aaraaichi(research) on him, instead of aarathanai(worship), which we fans are already doing...
he also had words for producer narayanan,, said that manickam passed hard hurdles to get this success
also appreciated that during VV shooting, technicians of VV unit engaged him with a kindness which made him work tense free
gautam, harris, thamarai were found in the event and Jo and prakashraj were missing, kamalini too.
but manickam had kept induvidual banners for jo kamalini and prakashraj with all good heart, even the complete technical crew was addrssed in those banners, see aandavan's signature....

1 :Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu: Yes, this is not half as good as "Kaakha Kaakha," especially with its weak villains. Yet, Gautham's cop-versus-killer thriller has to be the pick of the lot with a rather tight narrative but for the romantic deviation,
a super-refined Kamal Hassan underplaying a super-cop role, energetic cinematography and creative editing. A worthy sequel but for the unevenly poised rivals: Experienced super-cop takes on two medical schoolboys? However,
in the context of other films made this year, Gautham can walk away with his head held high. "Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu"' is the movie of the year.

Best of Tamil Movies
2006 has been a pretty good year for Tamil films, at least commercially. Quite a few films completed 100 days and many made handsome profits. Quite a few were above average artistically too. As usual, there were no films that could be termed as unadulterated 'good' cinema. National award winning Malayalam filmmaker T.V.Chandran's Aadum Koothu starring Cheran and Navya Nair is one such film but has not been released in the theatres so far though, it was there at the Indian Panorama at the IFFI, Goa.
Vettayadu Vilayadu
Gowtham Menon is one of the hottest young filmmakers in Tamil. Kamal Haasan is an actor par excellence. As a school boy, Menon was enamoured of Kamal's award winning portrayal of Velu Naykar in Nayakan. When the two decided to come together, and that too Kamal playing his age, as a middle aged cop, expectations were sky high. The film didn't disappoint anyone. It turned out to be a blockbuster. Weak hearted men and especially women could not digest the raw violence in the film. But the film was appreciated by the mass and the class.
It is the number one Tamil film of 2006.
clap:

Top Tamil Heroes
Year 2006 saw some good performances in Tamil but they were definitely not spectacular. One good thing about Tamil cinema is that the new generation heroes like Bharath, Arya, Jeeva, Vishal, etc are making their presence felt in a big way.
Kamal Haasan
Let us now talk about someone who has been acting from the age of 6 and has four national awards to his credit; a true genius. Yes, he is Padmashri Kamal Haasan. Without any doubt, we can say he is the numero uno of 2006. Gowtham Menon's Vettayadu Vilayadu, his release after a year � that was Mumbai Express --
is the biggest hit of 2006. As Raghavan, a middle aged police officer, Kamal has given a brilliant performance; subtle, understated and in the way only he can. But is this his best performance? No way. Is this on par with his own performances in Nayakan or 16 Vayathinile or Sagara Sangamam? No way.
But it is a brilliant portrayal and the best in 2006.

i believe the people who write reviews are men... they can't think like women... so they write like this..i'm the one who's saying the truth...men were facinated by the sex violence and i agree songs are good and it's thriller.. but kamal's performance was ok..

kamal acted many films..in recent times many of his films were flops.
his mumbai express is flop...
there were plenty of sex related violence in the film and .. film's villains are serial rapists and murderers..

4 to 5 flops is not a list, but if it is continuous, it is.
Also, for ajith is it only 4 to 5?
I only mentioned it bcos rachel said that kamal has had many flops in recent times.
Anyway dragging ajith into this issue is a mistake, I agree.
He is a bachcha compared to kamal.

10 big hits of 2006
The biggest blockbuster of 2006 is Vetayadu Vilayadu . A gutsy- ‘n’- gritty endeavour that ventures into excruciating details about the world of investigative cops. Kamal Hassan, Gautham Menon`s slick and packaging along with Harris Jayaraj`s music were the highlights.

2006- Hits & Misses!
By Moviebuzz | Friday, 29 December , 2006, 13:40
At the box-office it was Vetayadu Vilayadu which was the biggest grosser as it made Rs 30 Crore worldwide for its distributors. The film had Kamal Hassan in a very different role, something he had not done before. Gautham Menon’s slick packaging along with Harris Jayaraj’s rocking music clicked with the youth.

Even in Box office, many of his movies are super success stories.
THEN WHY YOU ARE ALL STILL ARGUING FOR A RECENT MOVIE VV ?
Regardless of whether VV is BOX office hit or not, Kamal's past success story cannot be erased .
So be happy guys.
Happy new year to you all

yes we hate sify but we take figures from them. and most of the sources say that VV is top grosser. not only sify! sify never, never says something gainst rajini or visay. if they start doing that, then rajini\vijay fans too will behave the same way. but the reality is that we didnt see sify kinda portals post baba.
the artivcle which says varalaary as top grosser says it only for chennai OR nsc area. do you think vv's tamilnadu collection is limited below 20 crores? if yes, then you belive that article.
rajini fans are trying hard to prove that VV ran one and only in Satyam theatre! as a simple logic, why do u think chennai and people in other moetros and otwns are different ones? tastes will remain almost same and thus VV is a blockbuster everywhere. i said lot of times that, VV had jusrcently re-released in National thatre vellore for this Xmas. this is one example

the print version didnot have he fill text maybe bcos you cannot lie onto a newspaper!
gautam menon never hinted about collections of oscar, narayanan B&C and overseas. he said only about his photon productions. and it seems he brought the movie at 3rd hand and each time it was sold 1 crore more! so you have to add that "virtual" crores to get the real profit. if and if narayanan or whoever the original prod has sold it, he would hav got 2 crores profit extra!

he also had words for producer narayanan,, said that manickam passed hard hurdles to get this success
also appreciated that during VV shooting, technicians of VV unit engaged him with a kindness which made him work tense free
gautam, harris, thamarai were found in the event and Jo and prakashraj were missing, kamalini too.
but manickam had kept induvidual banners for jo kamalini and prakashraj with all good heart, even the complete technical crew was addrssed in those banners, see aandavan's signature....

some empty stomach singers were singing sings from vv... then the function started... it went on for more than 2 hours... thalaivar was constantly asking our group to keep quiet... we were passing kalakkal comments, with anthony leading the way... aandavar's subtle expressions were also noticable... he gave every emotion to control us.. but namma amaithiyaa iruppomaa????????????????
every guest had to talk about us including saran, partiban, sarath, madan,narayana....
parthiban as usual, gave a superb speech...
the DGP mukherjee gave a speech in tamil... thalaivar praised him in bengali for that... he then talked abt the pretentious actions of some tamil drohis...while aandavar was talking, anthony shouted, andavar reacted " ehhhh, iruppaa, oru nerathula oruthar thaan pesa mudiyum.... namma apparam pesikkalaam..." ... then, he cracked a joke too...

I know accurately how it ran in chennai, trichy, USA, UK and apart from chennai in the other 3 centers it was a dud. Also I heard from my other friends that it was a dud overall in B & C
I dont think it was dud in overseas. It is a Block buster movie US and super hit it UK and Hit in Trichy .And it didnt collect as much as CM did in Overseas. None of the distributor loses the money.Therefore VV cant be dud in those 3 places. You missed many places of TN.
Sakala I never denied that VV is the #1 this year, though India today, deccan herald, dinamalar think otherwise
andha link-ayum bAbA padathayum ethana naaLaikku OttuvInga.. did we even bring mumbai exshpress into picture
Babaum MX um Flopnugradhu nadarindha visayam. So why should we bring those 2 movies again ?
Comedy-layE periya comedy indha posht dhaan. appuRam yEn sir english/hindi/telugu padangaL chennai thaviRa vera engEyum OduRathillai ??? appuram yEn sir VV matRa idangaLil mannai kavviyadhu ??
Enga sir Manna Kavvichu. VV chennaila ella theatre layum Nalla oduchu sir. And Most of B centers it had a good run. And he didnt had much run in C Centers as expected.
Another fact is A centers alone cannot make a film as a Blockbuster.
Sify clearly mentioned that VV has collected distributor share of 30c and the movie was sold for 17c by producer. So 30+17=47c.
You can call sify as a crap site. But the same sify did the BO Analysis for CM and announced CM collected 70cr.That time Sify was yardstick to predict the BO records. Why not for this time?
Hindu is also mentioned that VV is the biggest block buster of the year and highest profitable movie of the KH.
And KH's last biggest hit was Tenali and it nearly collecte 30cr. (If you want proof for this,Collection figures were clearly mentioned in Daily thanthi by KSR during it run).
Since it is the biggest grosser of KH, it must and should have collected more than tenali.
None of the distributor /Theatre owner lost the money in VV.So VV engayum Manna kavvala.
No one can deny that 2006 is for KH.

first copy basis - producer will give a particular maximum amount to director...and the film must be finished within that amount within certain amount of days....no extra amount

Did Anthony speak?I thought he critised Moorthy the police officer because he praised Mukerjee from bengali for speaking in tamil even though they have alot of pride in their own language and immediatly said that "But our own people do not want to talk in tamil" and he thought it was a shame.It was the moorthy who talked in english all the way even though he was tamil i guess

Nerd
We have a lot of sources in each region of TN. So there is no need for "Oor oora Sutru payanam".
What is your definition for "Block buster "? .
Aaanalum Blockbuster ana movie a "dud" nu solradhu romba too much illa.
Producer himself accepted that he has profits and this is the first super hit movie for "7th Channel " and this is the base for the future projects.
Perhaps you can argue, no producer can say the losses in the public function.
But no one can celebrate the 100 day function if it doesn't yield profits. And the same producer didn't want to spend money for publicity during its release. Because he had losses in that time. And Now the same person celebrated the 100 day function.That itself speaks the success of the movie.
And VV didn't have a very good run in Trichy like Chennai or Kovai or NSC Area. But it had a good run. And it was a Hit.
Don't you think the areas like Kanchipuram,Vellore,Tirutani,Chengalput,Cuddalore ,Pondy ,Mayavaram,Kumbakonam and etc are B&C centers?.

Nerd: About GM's break-even thingy. I suppose he was saying that it was a break even movie for the producer (cuz of Kaja's overheads), but it was a major money spinner for the distributors.
He says that the movie was sold for 16.5-17C and nobody lost money, so it definitely made 18C,But he never says how much it made totally. He did not divulge the profits made by the distributors.
Going by Dinakaran's article VV made a profit of 15C, which brings the total collections to around 32C, which is approx the same number Sify also mentioned in its BO report.
Can't a movie that makes twice its investment, be deemed a blockbuster

Kamal Haasan and his Paycheque
The last time I wrote anything related to Indian movies was back in September of 2005. That is proof enough that for the given time period till writing this, Indian movies are, in general, crap and continue to be crap. I am yet to see Lage Raho Munnabhai which I have been promised is brilliant so I cannot comment on all movies.
Anyway, I saw Kamal's latest Vettaiyadu Villayadu. Mostly a pedestrian movie. Even the macho moments aren't really macho or even cool. Kamal is pathetic at playing a stylish police officer in plainly obvious commerical film. This was plainly obvious in Aalavandaan and it is the same over here. When he says "...chinna pasangala..." during one of the latter scenes to a villain I was sitting there thinking what a boon it would be to have Rajini here. Kamal should stick to what he does best: serious efforts which question humanity, religion, love and loss. Hey Ram or Kurudhipunal or Virumaandi or Guna or Mahanadhi are brilliant examples of this sort of Kamal.
I have noticed a few people on the net claiming Kamal's performance to be subdued, evocative and subtle. Wrong. It is disinterested and random. Like Coke (the drink!) which is hot and flat. It is still Coke but it lacks the fizz. Jyothika labours in a most stupid performance. What a waste of talent overall. The guy who acts as "Anderson" was also pathetic.
Gautham Menon seems to have been heavily influenced by American police procedurals. Influenced, yes. Inspired, no. This film just shouts out "wannabe" from the word go and with dialogue like "Back home we call it Raghavan instinct" it is most definitely more comical than Gautham Menon intended. Made me cringe. I don't quite know what made Kamal sign this film. If I was to take a wild guess, it would have to be the money. Along with Vasool Raja MBBS this forms two films that Kamal has blatently turned up on set to be paid. This isn't Kamal the actor working, it is Kamal the businessman.
As for the cinematogrpahy. It isn't brilliant either. I am not quite sure why it is being lauded as much as it is. Probably because every other movie being made in Kollywood is about as good as what most children manage when given a video camera. Anyway it is over the top, childish and lacks vision. I must say the songs look very nice, especially the one shot at night in New York. It captured the essence of the city that never sleeps.
Which brings me to my next point: music. I am not quite sure who did the background score. Could have been Harris Jeyaraj or someone else. Whoever it was, it was absolutely bemoaning. Same with "Anniyan". Well over the top and unneccessary. Most Tamil movies I have seen in the recent past have this problem. It detracts from the story, the acting and the direction. I would say that only two people are able to provide splending background music: Rahman and Illayaraja. Raja is in a league of his own in this regard.
The songs themselves are not that bad, could have been worse.
As you are reading this, you are probably thinking this is a very negative review. Well, the film isn't great or even good. It is mediocre at best and flat out bad at worst. Compared to the sleek and memorable effort Menon provided for us in Kaaka Kakka, this is most definitely a step backwards. You also probably noticed my usage of English wasn't exactly brilliant. That's because I reserve my better English for better things. Over and out: a highly dissapointed Kamal fan.

Not sure, why he did not wanna divulge total gross
I guess he spoke about the production cost and NSC distribution,only because his company was also involved in it. Maybe he did not want to comment on collections that were made by other distributors.

As i said earlier, VV cannot compete with CM's collections on a global scale (if CM's collection data were accurate of course). And I'm not sure if it is the second highest grosser. 30-32 is not a huge number, Anniyan should be around the same range, not to mention a host of other movies released in that period.

As per sify it had collected 30c +17c and CM collected 70c. The next to CM is VV.
FYI : Anniyan collected 45 crores in Both Tamil and Telugu version. It was the biggest hit of 2005 in Andhra. As per the Tollywood's trade report, it collected nearly 30 crores.
So VV is the 2nd Biggest Grosser.

1 :Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu: Yes, this is not half as good as "Kaakha Kaakha," especially with its weak villains. Yet, Gautham's cop-versus-killer thriller has to be the pick of the lot with a rather tight narrative but for the romantic deviation,
a super-refined Kamal Hassan underplaying a super-cop role, energetic cinematography and creative editing. A worthy sequel but for the unevenly poised rivals: Experienced super-cop takes on two medical schoolboys? However,
in the context of other films made this year, Gautham can walk away with his head held high. "Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu"' is the movie of the year.
[/quote]
Not half as good as KK? I beg to differ. I think VV is a step up from KK and Gautham is moving from strength to strength.
Both KK and VV are great thrillers; they both have riveting storylines and intriguing characters. But I think VV took it a step further and explored more taboo subjects. This film was not afraid to tackle themes like spousal abuse, suicide and murder.
I think the idea of 2 egomaniacal medical students as villains is brilliant; it's a far cry from the corrupt politicians, greedy landowners and career criminals which most of us are used to. Daniel Balaji and Saleem Baig are perfect as 2 psychopath serial killers caught up in their dark fantasy world. Their murderous acts are gruesome and done mostly for the sheer pleasure of it. I'm not surprised that most people found the movie very disturbing and hard to watch- the body count is high and Gautham makes no apologies for this (I squirmed in my seat too). But this is exactly what Gautham had set out to do and has succeeded. Masalah flicks have somewhat immunised most viewers to violence, especially murders. Movies like VV drag people back to reality by presenting murder as a horrifying act.
Kamal practically lives his character, DCP Raghavan. You'd think we've seen everything this veteran actor has to offer; lo and behold he surprises us with a controlled portrayal of a middle-aged, hardened and yet imperfect senior police officer. (I liked the fact that the starting credit sequence is used to flesh out his character, giving the audience a brief look into his life).
I owe an apology to Jothika. A few years ago I came to a conclusion that she would just end up like the other glamour heroines who are fated to be the heroes’ accessories (and how else are you going to film duets in the Swiss Alps). But her role in KK made me sit up and pay attention. She does a stellar performance in VV as a single mum Aradhana and this has established her as one of TN’s most notable actresses.
The development of Raghavan and Aradhana’s relationship gives this otherwise dark and morbid movie a welcome relief. Their first awkward meeting soon develops into a mature yet painful relationship; both of them find it hard as they are in the midst of dealing with their respective injured lives and burdens.
The strong supporting cast further consolidates the film; Prakashraj as Arokiaraj, Lev Gorn as Anderson and Kamalinee Mukherjee as Kayalvizhi.
Special mention should go to Daniel Balaji and Saleem Baig. They have great on screen chemistry (as far as serial killers go) and are believable as homicidal medical students with inflated egos.
Anthony is in charge of editing and has given the film an edgy feel with tight jump-cuts.
If there’s one flaw in the movie, it’s the music. Now, before you Harris Jeyaraj fans lash out on me, let me explain. The songs were good and fulfilled their purpose. But I found the background score overdone in a number of scenes. In fact Harris would have been better off using silence, or minimum instruments. His use of male chorus in some sequences is rather hammy. And I can’t stand the sound of the synthesizer he plays (briefly when the title is flashed). It’s very outdated and annoying.
Apart from that, VV is one of the best thrillers to come out of TN/India and it demonstrates that not all Indian flicks are song and dance extravaganzas.

7. B and C la seriyA Odalannu neraya internet links irukku and GM menon did not sound very happy about the B and C collections.
may be but it dont man that is was a flop in B&C. in handul of centres it is a superhit and its blockbuster in some B centers
8. Dinakaran/deccan and one more I forgot hail varalaaRu over VV. In fact imsai arasan had a great run in B and C.
if imsai run a record in b and c all magazines shud mention it why you are always keen in splitting the collections, its the whole which matters,
9. I never denied that VV is a profitable movie. But how do you substantiate that its second only to CM ?? Anniyan ran for more number of days and it had a GREAT run in B and C.
nerd, even thalainagaram is a profitable film only, neenga onnum engalukku certificate kudukka venaam.anniyan and gajini released last year! also you are the ONLY one to say that VV Mannai Kavviyathu are you jelousy???
10. If you still insist on bringing bAbA into the picture, I am ready to take on. Lets start a thread or something. VV padaththa paththi mattum pEsuvOm, please
its u who said about crediblity of 100 days run, thus we brought in baba and padayappa's gloriuos (???!!!) 110th day run!!

new year adhuvumA seyya evLo kaariyangaL irukku, ippo pOyi, chinna puLLa thanamaa
he clearly said that break even is only bcos of the producer's cliche. open ur eyes and see that. and i also said many times that you must originally add those 2 cores into collection. Gm also hinted only his slice of collections and not the whole. hope u r not an LKG Kid

http://brangan.easyjournal.com/entry.aspx?eid=3202440
Here is an analysis of what gautam said. He says the following things
1. VV expense -
5.75 (Cr) this is without kamal's renumeration.
2. Sold at
16.5 to 17 (Cr)
3. In gautam's words - "
They sold the film at something like sixteen-five to seventeen, and nobody has lost money. So it’s definitely made about seventeen."
4. So its clear that the total profit of (both the) producer is
more than 17 Cr.
5. "
Oscar ravi released at NSC and gave a 40 lakh profit"
6. NSC 1st hand-
3.3 Cr
7. In gautam's words -
Now the film makes business of more than
four-thirty,
but actually the price is
three-thirty.
So it’s made around
one-and-a-half crores profit in city-NSC alone."
8. Its clear that NSC aea collected
4.3 + 40 lakh profit = 4.7 Crore.
If u forget the 2nd hand to 3rd hand transfer, then
NSC Selling price = 3.3Cr. NSC Return = 4.7. NSC Profit = 1.4 Crore
9. In gautam's words -"And maybe it’s not done as well in the smaller centres, but
it’s made up for that in the main areas like Trichy"
If he refers to main areas like Trichy then we can easily include Madurai Kovai Kanchipuram and or Salem.
10. So the Producer's collection is said to be above 17 Crores, so very easily it would have got above 20 crores. And if you add Distributor's share as reported by sify as
30 crores, and exibitor's share - maximum 10 crores, sum up comes to
20 + 30 + 10 + 5[other factors]= 65 crores.
Other factors - assume that audio rights, satellite rights(~1.5 crores?), other state collections and overseas get added up and still you get the total as 65 crores then it is a very belivable figure. if you remove kamal's renumeration, approx 7 crores, then it comes to 58 Cr
Also remember that its not released in AP which is a major share holder, as seen for CM\Anniyan\Gajini\Thimiru ect. So AP rights are sure to bring in about ~
4-5 crores.
If hindi verion to fares then there would be lots of profits.
Now lets think of saying VV as second blockbuster, next to CM. There is no way to accept that CM collections would have been 100 crores. So chances are high that it
would be well less than 100 crores but surely more than VV. in that case a maximum difference of 20-25 crores may exst between CM & VV. And by looking at the above numbers, its more clear that VV is surely the 2nd bigest blockbuster.
* Its true that Imsai would be bigger gross than VV in B & C centres but that dont mean that VV is a flop in B & C. It had its own run which contributed for its Blockbuster status.
* Anniyan seem to get more from AP than TN and the point that its a ~25 Crore film is into highest consideration
* Dunno in what place Gajini sits here
* Also dunno about Varalaaru but it seems it didnt have the tremendeous run in Major Metros like what VV had
Correct me if there is any error

This is a Sify article talking about CM's 100 day run, and they say that CM's distributor's share is 23C in TN alone. If you go by that, VV has actually collected 7C more than CM in TN in its 100 day run. Whats ur take on that ?

Kamal said the entire thing[kaja's suicide attempt] had left a bad taste in his mouth, and he didn’t want this film at all. But the producer’s council told him he’d taken an advance I’d also taken an advance so we had to finish the film
its clear taht kamal was almost forced to do this film
He said, ‘I don’t have time to get fit if I’m playing a cop.’ I said that wasn’t a problem
here comes the reason for his slight tummy
Some people said Kamal Hassan didn’t look very interested in the project, “but it worked for me, because I wanted the character to be like that...........I wanted a character that is very simple, very underplayed. And he was brilliant. ............ but what he adds to that is mind-blowing. All of us were stunned. But this excellence came at a price.
if his dis-interested performance itself gets this much laurels, imagine if he did this with full interest, there would have been few more crors of profit!
He said, ‘You’re making a film with a hero. Now this script will shift to the antagonist at some point. Then there’ll be a cat-and-mouse. There’ll be footage where I’m not there on screen. That’s not the kind of film you want to make.’ I understood. He’s a superstar. He has fans who need to be catered to.
the birth of karka karka
When Kamal finally faces the last villain, I wanted a fight sequence. But he felt the audience would want to know about Jyotika, and a fight would only prolong this discovery. .......... But a lot of people said that this villain needed to have been the recipient of some dishoom-dishoom from the hero. Even now, I feel there could have been a 100-feet fight between both of them.”
a diff in opinon, it alwyas happens between thinking minds

ulagu, sify said 30 crores of share for worldwide distributrs and not for TN alone. so thats not right. anyway i always feel that these big figures are not of rajini or kamal but only becos of the storyline and presentation.
its easy to give a superhit but its very tough to give or to predict a blockbuster. and both rajini and kamal has almost equal blockbusters.
even ramajrajan and mohan fims has been blockbusters. and VV is one such blockbuster

Anyways, considering that VV was not released in Andhra, outside TN collections wont be more than 5-8C, so if you go by Sify, its pretty much on par with CM inside TN.

vetaiyadu vilaiyadu was not a great film as it is being hype and hoopla . it was an average film for good music and technical brilliance otherwise it was a big bore.
it's success indicates people appreciate good technicalities in films. but it is a huge success in metro only , i still doubt if it even crossed 25 days in mofusil .
in my opinion this movie isnt of kamal's calibre.

you mentioned and compared CM gajni anniyan and imsai with VV
in that case you alsu must think of other issues like...
CM has Tata indicom sponser mney which would have contributed to the producer's budget
whereas VV had loss and deficeit in production level itself.
the film passed many hands
the amount which distributors paid tokaja generated interests to them which again is a loss to the distributors. but the collection compensated all these
it didnot release in AP whcih contributes a substantial share of profit.
gautam put his own money upto 80lacs to pictures a song in goa
narayanan himself was not able to pay technicians and kamal, at a point

a super-refined Kamal Hassan underplaying a super-cop role, energetic cinematography and creative editing. A worthy sequel but for the unevenly poised rivals: Experienced super-cop takes on two medical schoolboys? However,
in the context of other films made this year, Gautham can walk away with his head held high. "Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu"' is the movie of the year.
Not half as good as KK? I beg to differ. I think VV is a step up from KK and Gautham is moving from strength to strength.
Both KK and VV are great thrillers; they both have riveting storylines and intriguing characters. But I think VV took it a step further and explored more taboo subjects. This film was not afraid to tackle themes like spousal abuse, suicide and murder.
I think the idea of 2 egomaniacal medical students as villains is brilliant; it's a far cry from the corrupt politicians, greedy landowners and career criminals which most of us are used to. Daniel Balaji and Saleem Baig are perfect as 2 psychopath serial killers caught up in their dark fantasy world. Their murderous acts are gruesome and done mostly for the sheer pleasure of it. I'm not surprised that most people found the movie very disturbing and hard to watch- the body count is high and Gautham makes no apologies for this (I squirmed in my seat too). But this is exactly what Gautham had set out to do and has succeeded. Masalah flicks have somewhat immunised most viewers to violence, especially murders. Movies like VV drag people back to reality by presenting murder as a horrifying act.
Kamal practically lives his character, DCP Raghavan. You'd think we've seen everything this veteran actor has to offer; lo and behold he surprises us with a controlled portrayal of a middle-aged, hardened and yet imperfect senior police officer. (I liked the fact that the starting credit sequence is used to flesh out his character, giving the audience a brief look into his life).
I owe an apology to Jothika. A few years ago I came to a conclusion that she would just end up like the other glamour heroines who are fated to be the heroes’ accessories (and how else are you going to film duets in the Swiss Alps). But her role in KK made me sit up and pay attention. She does a stellar performance in VV as a single mum Aradhana and this has established her as one of TN’s most notable actresses.
The development of Raghavan and Aradhana’s relationship gives this otherwise dark and morbid movie a welcome relief. Their first awkward meeting soon develops into a mature yet painful relationship; both of them find it hard as they are in the midst of dealing with their respective injured lives and burdens.
The strong supporting cast further consolidates the film; Prakashraj as Arokiaraj, Lev Gorn as Anderson and Kamalinee Mukherjee as Kayalvizhi.
Special mention should go to Daniel Balaji and Saleem Baig. They have great on screen chemistry (as far as serial killers go) and are believable as homicidal medical students with inflated egos.
Anthony is in charge of editing and has given the film an edgy feel with tight jump-cuts.
If there’s one flaw in the movie, it’s the music. Now, before you Harris Jeyaraj fans lash out on me, let me explain. The songs were good and fulfilled their purpose.

Apart from that, VV is one of the best thrillers to come out of TN/India and it demonstrates that not all Indian flicks are song and dance extravaganzas.
Kumar,
Nice post and you have articulated it very well and I appreciate you for watching the movie from a different but the exact angle through which the director had tried to convey the message. Many have missed it including some harcore Kamal fans.

Any producer/director, who sees his movie making a lot of money for everybody else except him, has reasons to crib..He clearly states, that though it was a break even film for the producer, it was a money spinner.
And even if you ignore Sify, a lot of other news articles suggest that VV made close to 15C PROFIT, Wont you call that a Blockbuster?

Nerd, i am again saying, VV is the 2nd block buster in Tamil Cinema, next to CM. i dont need any meter for that. you may well say that there may be a difference between CM and VV, of about 20-25 crores, inspite of CM not collected close to 100 crores. That is acceptable, but saying that VV is 3rd or 4th to CM is NOT AT ALL correct. avlothaan!

1) I couldn't watch the VV 100 days function that had been very reluctantly and stealthily telecast by Sun TV without any prior information or teaser. And i was told by many that its better that i didn't watch it. As the great Sun TV did to the VV audio release program, they raped and mutilated the program so badly that it barely resembled what had actually happened. This is what "cutting" can do
2) I was watching the Top 10 Songs of 2006 in Sun TV. I expected the top slots to go to Vallavan because of obvious reasons. However a big shock was "Munbe Va" [IMO the song of 2006] being given the 8th spot
What's worse, #7 was "Karuva Payya"!
And all that Partha Mudhal Naale managed to get was #6...
My list (based on popularity and not on my taste alone) would include these in the top few slots:
Munbe Va, Paartha Mudhal Naale, Manjal Veyyil, Newyork Nagaram, Vazha Meenukku, Innisai....
3) Vijay TV's Top Movies of 2006:
Atleast Vijay TV had the rep of being an objective channel, compared to Sun tv...
Wrong. This program had bias written all over it, making some glaring overlookings and some unwanted additions ....
That apart, according to this show, Vallavan made 8 Cr profit!! [VV-15cr, Varalaru 13Cr, Imsai Arasan 8/10cr etc...]

But how can the margin be so high? I saw in Kungumam some 6-8 months back the salaries of all actors were put up. Kamal's was 7 crores and rajini's was 20 crores
Why this difference? baba was a flop before CM

Are u sure about DM 's success.? I read somewhere that DM was his biggest hit before Indian. And it is the biggest hit for the Raj Kamal International.
It ran 100 days in most of the places where it released.

What Rajini is getting is a share on the Profit. Either he does his home production or get a share. This was the case for past several years. As far as 20 crores story it is just a speculation. Till now the confirmed salary he got for Shivaji is 1001 Rs as advance which AVM follows. The full salary/share of the profit he would be getting only after the movie gets complete or after the profit margin.
Of course he would be getting more than what Kamal gets, but it is not like 20 crores like some says.
Let us understand one basic thing. Our Tamil industry market is not huge enough to accomadate 20 crore salary for a single person. Even considering Rajini's market in Telugu the amount is very huge in my opinion.

There is no doubt it was a huge success and it was the biggest hit before Indian. But note the point that it is in terms of collection not taking inflation into account.
But when we talk about huge reach, SKV and AS will be better by a small margin :P

because those megahits were mixed between guna,mahanadhi,anbe sivam,hey raam
thats the simple reason!
did rajni gets it by a cheque???...i think its by area for distributiing!
in that way kamal would have earned more than rajni in 90's as devar mahan,sathileelavathi etc would have broght him more money than rajni's 1-2 crore for a movie!

He earned more than Raini before 1995 and lost everything in Heyram and MarudhaNayagam.
Before 1995, Kamal was no1 for some time and Rajini for Some time based on the hits they given.
From Basha , he is the Numero one in Kollywood.

I do agree is the numero one in kollywood. But there were talks, prior to CM after Baba's debaccle,jakkubai's drop, if he is going to make it in the screen once again.
I just quote an incident at the time diwali, when pandian and Dm were released. ( I couldn't remember the year though)After pandian's failure and few other films failed the entire film council met along with the so called superstars. In that meeting the superstar was so upset and he walked away. So, a red card was circulated stating that that no one will make/buy superstart movies.
There was no one to support our Superstar. It was our universal hero who supported rajni and met all the press crew and openly stated that he will produce movies for rajini. Because of this, DM was taken immediately from all the theatres. Why I quote his incident is there is no numero uno,or two it's all the hype that media and other creates.
Kamal is known for taking risks. As he did for heyram and MN. But, I bet Mn will make the screen sooner.
Everyone follow different strategy. Kamal invests everything in movies not like everyone.

You can take it for granted and can check this news as headlines in the newspapers, in the libraries.
Btw, at that time kamal was doing a movie called maharasan, where he took no money from the producer. He was in that get up, when he gave interview to the press media.

HI Roshan,
Thanks for your comment. I just thought that this film had all the elements of a good story- something people would expect from a novel or a stage drama. I suppose the commercial success of a film is an important point of discussion for some people. But when it comes to novels and dramas, people usually talk about storyline, plots, characters, props, etc. Not many audience members would rack their brains over the commercial success of a stage play.
It's a really smart film; my friend in Singapore said that he had to remind himself that this was a Tamil movie, not a film from the west. I think Gautham should carry on the good work he's doing.
Kamal just keeps on surprising us.

Very True ....
kamal has a taste which nobody else has ... he really goes thru things tat he wishes to present to his viewers (i mentioned HIS VIEWERS coz, not everybody understands him) !
He gives more importance to STORYLINE - VV was not yet another police based movie ... he has really enacted the way a Murder case is being dealt with .... and very natural !

And yeh that confession scene is THE best in the movie and scenes after that are gripping as well, right ??

The question is have you seen any western crime thrillers. VV was not an average masala flick with a token excuse of a criminal committing crimes so that the ‘hero’ can display his machismo in order for the audience to clap, whistle, throw flowers, break coconuts, etc. This movie took itself serious enough to not include unrelated comedy skits by Senthil/Gaundhamani, etc, or college songs sung by students who can synchronise their dance movements on the first day of class. The overall plot was well laid out.
And yeh that confession scene is THE best in the movie and scenes after that are gripping as well, right ??
Whatever you say, pal. Glad you liked it too. 
The goa dance and the sequences where both the villains roam freely around India are top notch and extremely believable, right ??
Why? Are they meant to have armed guards following them? If you’ve followed the story, they escaped the authorities, by whatever means and remained at large. That’s why a state wide search was called. Eventually they were tracked down and killed.
Some sick guy in New Delhi roams around his neighbourhood for years killing dozens of people, and no one bats an eyelid. What’s so strange about the 2 killers on the loose before being caught?
US of A not bothering to look for them though they had killed quite a number of US citizens is praiseworthy as well, right ??
Anderson was on the case. And at that stage, the women were MISSING (their bodies were not discovered yet). It was only after the bodies were found that they managed to track down the suspects.
Hello. Padam paathingela illeiya? Sounds like you missed some of the key elements in the movie.
Yes, terriffic movie indeed.
Yeah, I thought so too. Glad you liked it.
And well I remember you quoting the crane scene in MX as one of the most hilarious scenes ever. Well I am not surprised with your VV review !!
I still love that scene. Personal preference. You are entitled to your opinion. How come you can remember my MX quote, but can't remember VV's storyline?

Obviously Indian which ran 100 days in 48 centers(including kerala and karnataka). Till 1998 Indian was the record movie in Tamil film industry.
not only in TN, Indian was block buster in Telugu and Hindi also.
that time Kamal was in 4th place in the popular bollywood hero list.
In 1998 'Suriya vamsam' ran 100 days in 52 centers broke Indian record. In 1999 'Padayappa' ran 100 days in 90 centers broke 'Suriyavamsam' record.

When Kamal Haasan has had so many superhits why isnt he commanding more salary than Rajinikanth?
Till 1998 Indian was the biggest block buster in Tamil film industry.
In 1996 Kamal gave 2 block buster movies. 1. Indian 2. Avvaishanmughi.
Both were 175 days movies.
Till now no any hero didn't give 2 block buster Tamil movies in the same year
So Till 1998 Kamal was well ahead than Rajini.
but after that Rajini over took Kamal.
Reasons
-------
1)after 1995, rajini is releasing his movies every 2 or 3 years.
after 1995 till now only 4 movies released(Arunachalam,padayapp,baba and CM)
2) He is releasing his movie only on vacation time(april month).
3)He is not taking any experiments like Hey ram,anbe sivam etc.
4)Baba released on August 2002.If movie released april month, It would become atleast hit.
5)Kamal had personal problem(split in his family) between 2002 and 2004.So he didn't give any mass movie on that period. also between 1996 and 2000 he didn't release any tamil movie.(only kadhala kadhala released in 1998. but he acted in guest role due to some reason)

next....a psychopath need not be brilliant...he need not be great in hiding the evidence...he is not a payed killer..he is a psychopath....a guy who is disturbed...his "vaakomoolam" to kamal in that scene is OK..because his charectrization is depicted as a guy wo thinks he is best...he is telling his enemy his power !
they are restless psycopath murderers..not intelligent payed killers!
ok...the escape scenes in mumbai where of kollywood style....but that doesnt make VV a bad movie!..dont compare with maveran,NAN,per sollum pillai etc...

To be a seril killer they need to company to escape..otherwise they cannot called as sk.

Serial killer is someone who has psychological problems.
In US, so far it is generally a white male! Very seldom blacks had involved in serial killings for some reason.
Since they have psychological problems, they cant team up. They generally work alone.
The recent one in the up state, sometime back in Tn auto-R ,sometime back a pakistani supported by one other,who killed all the male child etc. A serial killer is not a superman,spiderman(who is do gooder), he/she is bad doer .

And even that was due to the way some scenes were shot, as well as the plot itself. To me, it was a smart film that took itself seriously- but I'm reminded that it's an Indian film whenever there's a song scene, and VV is not an exception. I still think Gautham should carry on the good work he's doing.
This is a sad fact, but there are serial killers who work in pairs in real life.

Pretty good review Kumar. A bit more positive than the film deserved, IMO. Most of the nice things I had to say about the film: Kamal, Jothika, the stunts and the intial slick narration have been covered by you better than I could have hoped to. So let me stick to the ugly job: The film needed a good writer and it showed.
I am quickly losing patience for Kamal films not writen by Kamal. VV was yet another case. More jazzy, cutting edge et al and I chanted my regular 108 'don't expect too much' mantra before I watched it. Didn't help much.
Gautham's dialogues were a let-down. All the power and gutso that Kamal created in the opening sequence and the reserved and disgnified way he carries himself is severely compromised when he mouths the 'Raghavan instinct' line. Didn't you atleast giggle there ?
Just when the painful memory is forgotten and raghavan is rebuilt in our eyes, down he goes in the scene where he explains about Aradhana to his family.
Daniel Balaji had tried pretty hard to be the principal villain, but Harris Jayaraj beats him hands down. He should be made to watch Nayagan and Hey Ram straight ten times before he even considers scoring the background music for any other film. I was suspeding judgement for a while till a tabla and aalaap burst in from nowhere in the middle of a chase. I suppose it was some art-noveau (last time I felt this way was when Kamal pulled the French New Wave on me during the MX promo).
And it shows when the gore has a purpose and when it has been inserted for its own sake (riot vs. the climax in Virumaandi). After a point there was no shock and awe and it became dull. I saw a pretty fudgy youtube version so I can't quite comment on the cinematography, which has been universally acclaimed.
I maintain that the villains of the films are exactly that. Being different does not necessarily translate to being convincing and interesting (ref. Parthiban). I found the 'look-Mom-I'm-a-psychopath acting by the two chaps was pretty irritating. They looked all showy and not real (i.e. the Maniratnam school not the Kamalhassan school). Gautham the dialogue writer at work again in: Doctor and kolaikkaaranga ippidi oru combination nee paathurukkavE mudiyaadhu.
Given that The Man wrote no movies this year it is not surprising that I was dissatisfied with all that I saw this year. Forget best-of-all-time, of the films I saw this year, I was less dissappointed with Veyyil than VV. Waiting with bated breath for Dasaavathaaram.

Serial killer is someone who has psychological problems.
In US, so far it is generally a white male! Very seldom blacks had involved in serial killings for some reason.
Since they have psychological problems, they cant team up. They generally work alone.
The recent one in the up state, sometime back in Tn auto-R ,sometime back a pakistani supported by one other,who killed all the male child etc. A serial killer is not a superman,spiderman(who is do gooder), he/she is bad doer .
Educate me and give me link here. Thanks!
BTW, go on calling a "homosexual" as "poNdaatti" (with an intention of insulting him) is sort of nonsense! There are several civilized homosexuals. There are university professors with great reputation living with another man!

pondaatingaradhu avlo periya ketta vaarthaya
ofcourse psychopaths dont operate with a partner as they will not have any people with same ideology!
but in this film ..these two guys are friends from school who grow togethor along with their ideology...as kamal says "rendu perum chinna vayasula irundhe friends...ore ideology...."
this movie is not a classic...but certainly a good movie!

Abd for the record i maintain that i don't agree with Kumar's points regarding VV. I don't think its that good a movie.
And Thamizh paatti, if only you cared to READ, you will find many criticisms of VV by KH fans. The problem is not people criticising.. the problem is when someone like a Rajini fan!!! spewing nonsense here just because he doesn't like VV.
Going by that, the whole thread "Favorite Scenes of Rajini" must either be deleted or renamed as "Hilarious nonsense in the Indian Film Insutry" or "Too funny that these movies have become animated cartoons" or some such thing....
Nerd,
Nobody stops you from quoting MX review or whatever, but because you as a Rajini fan completely lack ammo when it comes to good scenes/movies, your vayitherichal shows no matter how you try to clothe it. You think quoting that crane scene is funny, huh... well, you are the one who posted the NEWS about Rajini's wig being blown off when a fan was swicthed on as though it was a great enjoyable news. That's the crap Rajini threads and movies are made off. Shame shame puppy shame

( I couldn't remember the year though)After pandian's failure and few other films failed the entire film council met along with the so called superstars. In that meeting the superstar was so upset and he walked away. So, a red card was circulated stating that that no one will make/buy superstart movies.
There was no one to support our Superstar. It was our universal hero who supported rajni and met all the press crew and openly stated that he will produce movies for rajini. Because of this, DM was taken immediately from all the theatres. Why I quote his incident is there is no numero uno,or two it's all the hype that media and other creates.
Kamal is known for taking risks. As he did for heyram and MN. But, I bet Mn will make the screen sooner.
Everyone follow different strategy. Kamal invests everything in movies not like everyone.
Not only that.. earlier, Rajini was so disillusioned with his career/life, he contemplated and nearly succeeded in taking a sabbatical. It was Aandavar who made him reconsider his decision. Also, when Mullum Malarum was in the doldrums it was Aandavar who bailed out Mahendran......

Till now no any hero didn't give 2 block buster Tamil movies in the same year
So Till 1998 Kamal was well ahead than Rajini.
but after that Rajini over took Kamal.
Reasons
-------
1)after 1995, rajini is releasing his movies every 2 or 3 years.
after 1995 till now only 4 movies released(Arunachalam,padayapp,baba and CM)
2) He is releasing his movie only on vacation time(april month).
3)He is not taking any experiments like Hey ram,anbe sivam etc.
4)Baba released on August 2002.If movie released april month, It would become atleast hit.
5)Kamal had personal problem(split in his family) between 2002 and 2004.So he didn't give any mass movie on that period. also between 1996 and 2000 he didn't release any tamil movie.(only kadhala kadhala released in 1998. but he acted in guest role due to some reason)
Rajaram
Indian was the Biggest Hit till 1999 April (before Padayappa).
You could have framed this sentence in this way.
"Till now any hero hasn't give 2 block buster Tamil movies in the same year after 1996.

You personally attacked Kumar indirectly instead of accepting to disagree with his opinion in a civil manner....

Wow, all of this because I reviewed VV and said I liked it.
Look, I thought it was a good movie, not the greatest ever. Good plot, good editing, good characters,some new ideas for a Tamil film, daring scenes.
I didn't like the music. PR may have a point about the dialogue (I didn't pay much attention to the dialogue. I noted the censorship, though).
One more think I didn't like was the few special effects which were done quite badly (Kamal and his wife on the motorbike, and Kamal falling down the building).
But, overall, I thought it was one of the better ones I've seen.
I can appreciate Nerd not liking it; but there's also such a thing called contructive crticism. Nerd is entitled to his opinion on the movie.
Where I draw the line is criticising my appreciation of VV, i.e. telling me to go watch good hollywood movies (I take it this was said because of my friend's comment on western films), or commenting on my opinion on the crane scene in MX to justify my views in VV.
Is this the kind of response I'll get each time I review a film? I'm hoping for something more constructive like PR's response.

Yes and yet he doesn't want Rajini to be dragged in.
He comments on your taste and your friends but he doesnt want anyone to comment on his taste. Enna nyayam idhu? Anyone who is a Rajini fan is fair game as far as commenting on taste is concerned. Period.
Kumar and PR are one of the most unbiased and articulate of KH fans in the hub which is why i asked Kumar to post his views on VV sometime back in another thread.I did so because though i found many negatives in VV, these two generally observe what can be easily missed by others. The irony is we have quite a few KH fans here, myself included who criticise Aandavar and his films but can the same be said of Rajini fans? The accusation, however is always that KH fans can't handle criticism.

Kumar #1 is not directed towards you
#1. Havent you guys thrashed sify for anbE sivam's review? Were those always appropriate? If someone's reviewing a movie you need to recollect his/her earlier reviews. Now thats a universal thing. I did not like Kumar's MX review (that scene of course). I said that to him long back in this very forum. Since he hailed VV I thought he likes anything by KH. I said he was the one who hailed the MX crane scene, I am not surprised with his VV review. Kumar replied back saying, yes I liked it, there it ended. I did not drag MX after that.
#2 Look at thimuru's response to my first post. He unnecessarily dragged Rajini there.

Who are YOU to decide who should do what?
Sensible response for my criticisms is that quote my criticisms and show what is wrong. If you do so, then that is considered a debate.
If you go on bs about "tamil paatti" and syaing rajni fnas should not criticize any Kh movies, that shows your inefficiency to counter the arguments.

No one said , Rajni fans shouldn't critcise KH movies.
And VV is not a classy movie like Kuruthi Punal. But one of decent movie released recently and done good job in BO.
On First day of the VV release , AA sent sms to Cine fan about the movie. And he didnt like the movie then. And the same posted by Cinefan here..
I think no one in this hub like you and stranger ridicule KH. And you appreciated a Hubber called "Ranjit_G" for posting something about KH and Suhasini. And appreciated Stranger for same kind of things.
when Aandavan aka Karthik posted something about Rajini in RK thread, A_A adviced him not do suich things.
If KH fan criticised anything abour Rajni, you wouid start ridiculing KH.
Have you ever counter your arguements in KH Vs RK therad with out ridiculing Kamal.?
Every one has his own review about the movie
If some one hailed VV, you woud criticise his review about KH's previous movie.
I have been in this thread for more than 1 year . I havent redicule Rajni so far.
And we are posting about VV and KH thread not in RK thread.
Still i dont understand what is your problem about VV and its success.

I have seen reality shows from you U.S of A where one male partner refers to other male partner (the dominant type) as his husband so nothing wrong with the dialogue in the movie.
You are missing the point, he is insulting him by calling him as "poNdaatti"
As if it is something which is ridiculous.

[tscii]Err...is this a real question or rhetorical? I'm talking about constructive criticism of the movie.
You didn't like VV; that's OK. What gets me is that your response to my review took a slightly personal turn- the Hollywood comment, etc. If you didn't like VV's dialogue, cinematography, etc, then make it known (a la PR). Otherwise I have nothing against you Nerd. I don’t know you that personally to have anything against you.
I reviewed the film; I said I liked it; it’s not the greatest, but one of the better ones I’ve seen recently. Voila.
So, why do people think that Rajini fans should not review movies and they lack intelligence or whatever?
I don't think that way. Rajini fans are not lacking in intelligence. I like Rajini. I'm looking forward to his movies. (I saw some still shots of 'Shivaji' from November's issue of Movie News and they look good).
As you can see, I don't post here very often, so I'm not really into this Kamal fans vs Rajini fans verbal guerilla warfare. I only respond when I feel I need to (especially when it becomes personal).
At times like these I get the feeling that people call themselves Kamal or Rajini fans not because they like their respective actor’s movies and acting, but because the conflict with their ‘rival’ actor’s fans give them a little more excitement and meaning in their otherwise mundane lives. (Yes, both KAMAL and RAJINI fans!!)
Now can we get back to movies……….

Geez, sounds like bickering relatives who employ a family member to act as a go between. Someone should make a movie about us hubbers. (Sathyaraj can portray me....with the right wig and make-up though).
Just like you Kumar
Yeah Sathyaraj is the right choice !!!

Most of the hubbers know Thamizh is She. Just Roshan informed this and I dont think that Roshan does have Sadistic pleasure because of this.And he didnt try to make any distinction between male or female.

In Kerala, Kamal once had the 3rd biggest star status next only to Mammootty and Mohan Lal.
The amount one had to spend to get the ditribution right of a Kamal movie was suficient to make a Malayalam movie (without Lal or Mammootty).
But gradually Kamal's popularity went down. The main reason i think is that Mallus watch Kamal mainly for his stunts, dance etc which were not the biggest strengths of Mallu heroes. (I do not forget the fact that his good movies - Sagara Sangamam, Vazhvemayam etc were also well accepted there).
When Kamal started to move away from typical heroism (like KakkiChattai, Vikram etc) obviously his popularity went down.
But many of us may know that his commercial flops like Vikram were huge hits in Kerala.
Having said all these things - one thing is still very clear - Kamal is the most popular Non-Mallu actor in Kerala.
Recently a few of Vijay / Vikram movies went well there. Mainly due to the typical dance-fight formula.
Infact Vijay or Vikram does not come second position also - it is Rajini.

kamal has always been the most popular non-mal hero in kerala... with rajni now coming a close second... vijay and vikram are big hits with the college crowds, but i think they are by no means competition to kamal or rajni.
rajni's popularity in kerala took a leap with dalapathy... till then, he was largely looked at as a superhero who does outrageous stunts... after dalapathy, baasha and padayappa were monster hits in kerala and his latest chandramukhi did big business too... the fact that sivaji is sold for a record price (even by mal superstar film standards) shows that rajni is closing in fast on the race for the no 1 slot, which still, of course, rests with kamal.
in terms of viewers' overall respect and adulation, kamal is miles ahead there... but the critical difference is the people who actually buy tickets and watch films... on that count, there's hardly anything that separates kamal and rajni... especially in thiruvananthapuram and the palakkad belt, where rajni has a distinct edge over kamal.

I donno why SIFY is cooking all these stuffs. ONe of my friends in TRIVANDRUM said AJITH has lot of HC Fans there and in many other parts of Kerala ! I have also seen them coming up with nice updates on the same. Plus - IN one of the Mallu forums that I visit, I have seen many ajith fans ! Anyway, Having known enough about SIFY, let me stop here

Sorry to disagree.
Dalapathy might have run for Mammootty -
Till Baasha time (except for Dalapathy) most of the Rajini movies used to release not in the best theatres of Palghat.
Dalapathy got the good theatre because of Mammootty.
However I agree that Dalapathy got Rajini a number of new fans from Kerala - also with Baasha
(But the same is true for Kamal with Vetrivizha, Apoorva Sagodarargal, Indian etc)
Baasha and Padayappa were huge hits in Kerala.
But many of the Kamal movies were bigger hits.
I feel that in Trivandrum and Palghat Rajini comes close to Kamal in poularity due to the Tamil population there.
One thing I am astomished is the price at Sivaji is sold.
Considering the fact that most of the Mohan Lal & Mammootty films production cost itself is less than 3 crores, this price is really wonderful.
Hope the distributor will not loose the money.
Adding to Rajini's star value, Shankar also has a very good market in Kerala (even Boys was a big hit). So we shall hope for the best.

Bias is one HELL a worse factor when it comes to judging things ... and being a site, they have to analyze things pretty well before giving it on the net ......

Review
Story
Raghavan (Kamal Hassan) is an efficient and intelligent ACP. Some mysterious men kill Raghavan's colleague Anand Raj's (Prakash Raj) daughter. Serial killings persist and investigations reveal that there is a serial killer behind these murders. Raghavan is forced to leave for New York on this official work. The rest of the story is all about how he solves the mystery behind the killings and get hold of killers.
Artists Performance
Kamal Hassan gives another stellar performance in this film with his exemplary acting. He looked tough and brought authenticity to his role. Kamalinee Mukherjee did a small role in the film and she is excellent. Jyothika is pretty good as the depressed woman. Prakash Raj is good. Salim Baig (Panda of Gharshana) did a vital role and he suited the character. Lev Gorn is very good as an NYPD cop.
Technical Departments:
Story - screenplay - direction: The basic storyline of this film resembles the story of Murder by Numbers (2002). The thread of two brilliant students committing serial killings and two cops chasing them is lifted from Murder by Numbers. Screenplay of the film is pretty good. The director has gone into the finer details of the film while making it. The direction of the film is stylish and there is brilliance in shot-making. He followed Mani Ratnam's pattern while writing the romance thread for Kamal and Jyothika.
Other departments: Music is nice and picturization is good. Cinematography by Ravi Varman is excellent. Editing by Anthony deserves a special mention. The way he uses diffusion and color transition in the first song is good. Dialogues by Dasarath (Santosham movie director) deserves a special mention. Stunts by Siva are neat. Production values are good.
Analysis: The first half of the film is very good. The second half drags a bit because there is not much of story remains once the identity of killers is revealed. Director handled the romance in the film in a matured way. There is no problem of Tamil nativity in this film because the subject is typical Hollywood cop thriller type. The major plus points of the film are director's taking and Kamal Hassan. On the flipside, the serial killing concept of the film might become too serious for a general entertainment seeker. On a whole, Raghavan is a decent film which you can watch at leisure. Box office wise, the film has potential to do well in A centers.

Per se, its not a fair comparison between a new release and a film which has been running for some days (we ought to be comparing how SD and Yamadonga did when they opened compared to how Raghavan is doing now).
STILL, Raghavan has opened very well in spite of the extremely low key release, amidst competition and in the aftermath of adverse events.
Its doing well in Hyderabad and also in Nellore where the response has been good so far. Not sure but in Hyderabad, the screen count has been increased to 28 i think (plus 1 screen showing VV Tamil). News from other territories is awaited
P.S: In a B center like Nellore, the theater where our makkal saw Raghavan was superbly maintained it seems. Namma oorla dhaan poor maintenance-o...

I read somewhere that Kamal hates dubbing. That is why in his own production, nowadays, he uses as much live recording as possible. And to redub again in other languages must be really annoying for him. You might as well do something more productive. Anyway, that's what I think.

Kamal used his own voice for Sagara Sangamama,Swathi Muthyam,Subha Sankalpam&all the direct Telugu movies he has acted in.Infact,he dubs himself in whatever language a film is originally made in.
SPB's voice is used only for Kamal's Tamil movies dubbed in telugu.

DSP Raghavan is back!
By Behindwoods News Bureau.
September 05, 2007
That's right, DSP Raghavan is back, though he no longer works at Chennai, as he has been transferred to Hyderabad.
Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu is now showing through Andhra Pradesh as Raghavan. Dubbed in Telugu almost a year after its original release, VV is now finding a new set of admirers.
Kamal
After relishing sweet success all over Tamil Nadu, this Gautham Menon movie is now catering to the taste of Telugu audiences. And as expected the critics gave their thumbs up and so did the audience. The Telugu audiences are going gaga over Kamal’s performance and the Hollywood style narration of Gautham.
The gripping script with almost no diversions in the name of comedy or item songs (Neruppae is an aberration) is something new to Telugu audiences. Though one expected that the length of the second half would have been cut off for the re-release. This was one aspect of the movie that had come in for a bit of flak, especially Neruppae and Uyirinil songs coming within about 6-7 minutes of each other. But nothing has been done to these parts of the movie. Though some homework has been done to make the movie suit the Andhra Pradesh audience. Chennai becomes Hyderabad, the English dialogues have Telugu subtitles and other such minor occurrences, though on the odd occasion one suspects that Chennai has been left unchanged in the dialogues. Though there is nothing that directly meets the eye and it must be said that the work done to adapt the movie was by and large adequate.
We don't know whether Kamal is really aware or concerned at the moment about Raghavan in Telugu. We know that he is really busy with Dasavatharam. But this delayed release of Raghavan might be a blessing in disguise for Dasavatharam. The Telugu audience might just take a strong liking to the class of Kamal Haasan which might convert into a much better opening than expected for Dasavatharam. Things seem to be panning out really well for the magnum opus.

Nice to see VV doing Good in AP, that too after a very delayed release and less publicity.
My Team mate while talking said the songs were big hit. But he was thinking the movie is releasing this week

The media indifference continues..
The film seems to be doing decently, if not spectacularly...
Considering this appalling lack of publicity by the producer/distributors, any positive result should a bonus ....

Trade Talk: Trade and Collections After Bomb Blasts
Due to the fear after bomb blasts, the theaters were found silent in Hyderabad for two weeks. But now again the tempo started picking up as the security measures have been tightened in every theater. People got confident and started stepping into theaters.
Another dubbed film 'Raghavan' is attracting masses with its mass emotional punch. But due to overdose of violence and action, the family audiences are keeping away from it. There is no enough comedy as well in the film.

Here is one function Aandavar attended and made us bhakthargal happy
http://www.idlebrain.com/news/functi...-raghavan.html
The success meet of Kamal Hassan’s latest film Raghavan was held at Prasads Multiplex today morning. This function was attended by Kamal Hassan, Gowtam Menon,
KVV Satyanarayana, Sakhamuri Panduranga Rao, Bellamkonda Suresh, Ram Mohan (distributor) and Srikanth (IMAX).
Speaking on the occasion Kamal Hassan said, “I condemn the bomb blasts in Hyderabad. It causes lots of insecurity among the citizens of Hyderabad. The exhibitors are also suffering as movie lovers are not venturing out to watch the films in theaters. Raghavan is made with a good team. This film is thriller and I would like to thank everybody for encouraging this film.”
Producer KVV Satyanarayana said, “The Tamil version of this film won 7 awards. Kamal Hassan got the best actor award. I felt like watching a Hollywood film when I watched Raghavan. The mouth publicity is helping this film. The collections in the second week increased compared to the first week.”
Director Gowtam Menon said, “It is every director’s dream to work with Kamal Hassan. Kamal Hjassan, good music and camerawork helped the success of this film. Raghavan is the result of the team work.”
P.S: Satyanarayana had earlier visited Aandavar in Chennai after the very good opening Raghavan received in AP....

Actually I commented with some telugu site links as proof for Ragavan opened well in Andhra. But they did not publish my comment but they published some stupid comments.
BTW poor kamal why he did not concentrate on his film's dubbed version intially. Hope he will give much importance to dasavathaaram's worldwide release.

according to gautam menon, kamal lost interest in VV after kaja moideen's suicide attempt. It was not even his own production and with all these problems, how come you expect him to take interest in dubbed version?

Why the word "finally" - During the time of VV release I read a couple of interviews of GM and in all those he had openly praised KH and he had repeatedly said he is a die hard fan of Kamal.

The movie is running well in centers like Hyderabad,Vizag Gundur,Nellore and other places.
It would have been a superhit, if it had released in bigger theatres with good publicity. The distributor didn't how to market this movie and very less publicity in Channels also. They dont play the songs in Gemini Music not frequently.In my town it released in very small theatre which has poor sound system. It is doing very average business.
Despite of no publicity , this movie is doing considerably well because of Kamal sir. AFAIK , it will end up in average grosser to hit.
It is good News for Kamal sir indeed. It will be big boost for his forthcoming movies. Dasa will be his next block buster after his dubbed version of Avvai shanmugi.

My Reply is only to CM123
Shivaji is not a hit film in Andhra. It had biggest opening in the history of dubber movies. The opening is because of Shankar and Rajni.
It is an average grosser movie. It is not as big hit as recent hits like Chandramuki or Anniyan or Gajni in Telugu .
You Better ask Rajni to break Kamal's Vasanth Gokilam, Dance Master,Nayagadu,Abborva Sagodharagal,Kshatry Pudhradu,
Sathi leelavathi,Bharadhiyadu and Bamune Sathya Bamune records. And ask them to give Silver jubilee hits in 6 languages.
Even the Rajni's biggest hit Basha collections and no.of days run were lesser than Dubbed version of Sathileelavathu.
The above said dubbed movies of KH were superhits and had a very long run.

Kamal condemns Hyderabad blasts
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 11 September , 2007, 09:07
Padmashri Dr. Kamal Hassan condemned the bomb blasts in Hyderabad and expressed his sympathies with the family members of the victims. "I love Hyderabad and the people here. I wish the city would soon overcome the shock."
The actor was in the city attending the success meet of his latest film Raghavan (dubbed version of Tamil hit Vetayadu Vilayadu) at Prasads Multiplex. He looked dashing in a grey suit and was the cynosure to hundreds of the audience.
"My film Raghavan is received well by Hyderabad people despite the fear-psychosis prevailing in the city. The film is working like a balm in settling the ruffled feelings of the people. The movie is hailed as a great entertainer. I thank the distributors and exhibitors in dispelling fears among the audience by arranging superb security arrangements at the theatres," Kamal Hassan said.
Director Gowtham Menon, who accompanied Kamal Hassan, said: "Raghavan is my dream project with Kamal. Script and screenplay are the major strengths of the film. Harris Jayraj's music is another big asset. Success of Raghavan is due to the collective efforts."

They aren't playing very frequently. Those songs have potential to make the movie big hit.
They are playing one or two times a day in Gemini music.
Even in last weekend , i called Gemini music and asked for song twice.
During release in Tamil, every one hour sun music used to play the songs from VV.

i dunno if there is any nakkal embedded in ur post but, its true that kamal's producers and distros are not upto mark.
kalaipuli dhanu, kooja modein, manickam narayanan, and all either ditched him or do poor marketing, or suspensed salary-cut, or all three. kooja went to the extreme of suiciding at wrong time......and again media plays its own baddie role.
for anbesivam too he faced a salary cut.
and now again, some website reviewers themselves say that publicity is on low key for raghavan. the same is said for Mumbai Express Hindi, where, majority of those who saw the film liked it, even the hindi-media reviews very okay...it was distroed [destroyed?!?] by SaharaOne
[but i dislike MX, and its a diff story for here]
that kamal is so popular in AP is even new for HCFans like us, when we hear them from our AP Friends! what wud i say, its media's mistake or kamal's own, that he didnt publizise his AP BO power???

It is true that Sathilleelavathi defeated Basha's Collection in AP. It ran 100 days in more number of centers than Basha.
The Distributor who purchased the AP rights of VV doesnt how to market the Film.
It would have been bigger hit if some one like Oscar ravi distributed in AP.

It is true, overall Sivaji made more money than CM in Andhra though it did not run more days since it was released more prints with a different strategy!

that reply looks appealing. so sanjeevi either come up with evidence that it was tuned by some one else or keep quit!
apart, Ketta muthal naaley piditha paadal athu. all i thot was it would be named song of the year, in tv channels but, unfortunately munbeva\newyork nagaram took that place! pathetic, i wud say, as both the songs had its own junk moments and minuses, but paarthamuthalnaaley is just great in all terms

It better be Aboorva Sahothararhal category than Hey Ram, thats what Oscar might be thinking...........For a huge budget movie like 10A, I don't want it to be of Hey Ram like (result wise)...

It is true that KSR had delivered many masala craps.
That doesn't make him a crap director. He never says he is one of the "Karuthu Kandasaamys" in the film world who delivers some message to the citizens through heroines HIPS / B***S etc and expect them to take it. He himself accepts that he is a mass masala director.
Other "Karuthu Kandasaamys" deliver KSR STYLE masala by taking years of time and after having spent crores. Give 5 croroes to KSR and he can create the same kind of mass masala or even perarasu

Ana Selva, enna ippadi sollitteenga?
KSR can create a MUCH better mass masala (not the SAME KIND) if given 5 Crores and that much time. Perarasu can cook up a "decent" masala at less than half the amount and time

have u seen oor mariyadhai? it not even masala just pure crap.
most of ksr films are just crap, anyway.
just because he accepts he makes crap movies, doesn't make him a decent director. he is a crap director.

Yes, I have seen "Oor Mariyaadhai". The story revolves around Sarath and his love for "Akka Ponnu". At last, Sarath will die. It is a pretty OK masala. It is not pure crap and didn't had boys going after aunties and scenes showing them rubbing their <<you know what>>. *Crap* is there in many masala movies. But even in so called good movies, there are many crap / puke content.
Just coz, someone has delivered few good movies, that doesn't mean they are good directors. As per you logic, Shankar is also a crap director. What looks great to you might be a "sheer crap" to others. I brought the *message* point since KSR never forces any CRAP WESTERN VALUES On the audience in the name of "Karuthu". You can atleast go after his movies with that mindset unlike others' movies.
Heroines are being used as "Sex Objects" in tamil cinema. But message solluravangalum athu vazhiyaa thaan solluraangannaa, avangalum pretty normal directors thaan. After all, things like "Naan paarthenae, Vellaiyaaa, rendu", "Diggilona", "looking at <<you know what>> when a girl bends" etc will come under masala crap only .
Atleast KSR Is honest about it unlike others. Right ??

Ind BTW, it was Sakala who brought up Shankar [Sakala, yet again, dunno why you talk about Sivaji here]....
Sriranga talked about "Oor mariyadhai" saying its crap. While noone denies that, the point Sleva is making (and for which i am "putting" Amaam Saami) is this: Yes, KSR makes crap too but unlike Shankar, KSR or Perarasu are not

Maddy,
First of all, I don't need any "Aamaam Saami" from anyone :P I just express my views and sometimes it might sound rude. Yes, I did criticise Shankar in that post and you know very well that I have diff of opinion on Shankar. So, you cannot expect me to heap praises on Shankar.
& you should understand that - > I just replied to "KSR bashing" since the start was a comparison b/w these two directors.
In ur words, Shankar has proved it with Sivaji :P So, shall we take Sivaji as a primary parameter to assess his greatness ? :P
(I don't want to indulge in this since it might trigger something else
)
As CR said, KSR had already proved his BO credibility with many movies, heroes, etc. The heroes range from pretty normal ones and budget range from min to max. :P (Ella budgetlayum, ella actors koodayum HIT koduthu irukkaar 90% :P ) Irrespective of 10A result, KSR will remain the same
and even if a new producer gives him just 1 crore and asks him to make a movie, he will do it unilke others

Till 1996, kamal was super star in Andhra. he had excellent market than Tamilnadu.
50 days or 75 days run is flop to kamal movies even in andhra.
for example,
Sathi leelavathi which did Above average or just hit business in TN,
was block buster in Andhra. It ran 175 days in 4 or 5 centers.

Kamal had the very big market as equal as TN in AP. He was considered as an no. 1 star who had the market in the 4 states.
But After Heyram and abhay every thing changed. In those days, most of the AP people like Kamal despite of their own favorites like Chiru,nagarjun,venkatesh and etc. That was his biggest plus and he had all type of auidences for his films.
IMO He spoiled his market by himself.
Regarding VV, It is ending up as hit movie in all the cities and average grosser in Towns. And noone has incurred any losses.

Checkout the 31st day collections.
http://www.superhit.co.in/boxoffice....0collections07
Looking at the archive, collections are pretty steady in this theatre.Even in its 5th week, it shows a combined (all 4 shows total) filling of 30,000-35000 per day in weekdays and 50000 to 60000 in perday weekends....
If you put an approx ticket price and add up for 30days,This theatre would have definitely made a good profit.Do note that the initial week collections would have been higher.
We hope it is the same elsewhere.
on the whole, a good HIT for Kamal in Telugu and would propel a good price for DV telugu version.

Thamiz has clearly showed the about 3 movies are enjoying HOUSEFULL shows and 4-5 movies have 10000+ attendance in one of the biggest theaters in hyderabad. Raghavan has already been removed from there and how the hell can it be #5 still.
I think Raghavan is only been shown in 3 screens and is it #5?? Thamiz in one of his posts also has told that R did good in AP

Remaining what?
There is absolutely no way for Raghavan to stay in Top-5 now- no matter how you add or subtract!

Raghavan (VV) has been removed from Devi 70 mm after 32 days or so.
Very bad. I thought it would run till 50 days...

i think both side has mistakes but naturally it has to be less on the guy who has and appears to have less financial victories

thats natural rajaram, if the movie released in all states in same time then there would be naturally lot of news and publicity and producer will try to give more focus on all states....but now,releasing a movie delayed in other language, i feel its fishy and with this, the amount of success earned itself is a proof to kamal's poweress in AP Land

Boss,
I think so many late release dubbed movies did well in andhra. latest example GHAJINI.
VV failed due to
1.Family audience didn't like movie.
2.It lost opening collection due to bomb scare.
3.lot of new releases.

Raghavan is slated to complete 50days on the 19th.
It is running four shows at USHA Mayuri Theatre in Hyderabad.
http://www.indyarocks.com/movieplex/...-Hyderabad-ALL
My andhra friends are saying, it is a HIT.If people want to call it an average or flop without supporting info,let them do so.
Actually number of days run should not actually matter.But, just for argument,Gajini telugu was called a hit and VV not.
How did you arrive at that ?
As DM had quoted, if the same producer is buying Dasa telugu version, that too for quite a high amount, that itself says a lot

ரொம்ப உணர்ச்சி வசப்படாதீங்க தலைவா.
If surya movie run 50 days, Kamal movie should run atleast 100 days.
Do you know kamal's BO power in 80s and 90s in andhra?

Kamal's acting was excellent.
Aandavar's acting was brilliant (as always). When it comes to acting there is going to be no suprises from him after all
But I felt that the role of DCP Raghavan was a kind of "walk in the park" role for a genius actor like Kamal!
Feddy - Thanks for reminding Aandavar's second year anniversary of VV! You are the BEST Aandavar fan in this hub!
