i dun think KK was a hit.....
btw....Y u left ALAIPAYUTHE?
From: prasi on Sun Jan 22 3:16:29 2006.

yes ,alaipayuthe was a hit ,but KK ran for more than 125 days all over and also won 2 filmfare awards(best director,best film),won 1 national award ( best singer-shanker mahadevan)and was declared more than a hit though not a block buster!
From: nilavupriyan on Sun Jan 22 3:24:07 2006.

u missed
virumaandi
vasoolraja mbbs
avvai shanmugi
tenali(silver jubilee)
sathileelavathi
vetri vizha
punnagai mannan(silver jubilee)
vaazhve mayam(200 days)
kalyanaraman(silver jubilee)
thoongathe thambi thoongathe(253 days)
michel madhana kamarajan(200 days)
azhiyadha kolangal(26 weeks)
aval oru thodarkadhi(25 weeks)
apoorva raagangal!
varumai niram sigappu?

ur list is not based on number of days!

its ur list!
From: prasi on Sun Jan 22 3:42:19 2006.

its not my view nilavu priyan ,then i should have given all ajith movies as first ,but i dint even i like kamalhassan too as u do ,but c i have included his 16 vayathinile,sigappu rojakkal,indian,moondram pirai,sakalakala vallavan,thoongathe thambi thoongathe,ilamai oonjalaadugirathu,nayagan,azhiyadha kolangal!
this is purely based on boxoffice performance and no.of days it ran!
From: nilavupriyan on Sun Jan 22 3:51:44 2006.

based on number of days?...where did u get this info..give the source!

do u think manmadhan is a bigger hit than vasoolraja mbbs and virumaandi?

in 2001 only 2 films crossed 175....

thenali and friends..u left out tenali!

persollum pillai is a mega hit movie....declared by avm.....U LEFT IT OUT!
From: great on Sun Jan 22 4:08:21 2006.

if its no of days....you should include all the vijay movie

betwn...manmadhan was not hit...its just average movie only

you missed so many kamal movies......

clarify...what you wanna discuss in this thread ..based on NO: of days or the amount which movie collected
From: prasi on Sun Jan 22 4:24:36 2006.

yes priyan and great ,it is purely based on box office performance and appreciations infact though manmadan movie was average it was made to run or ran for itself i dont know ,but it ran for 135 days in chennai alone (may be by simbu fans)

well ,in 2000 ,thenali can be replace"kandu konden kk" as its a silver jubilee movie
i dint include all vijay movies(except for genuine) bcos most of his movies have run more than 200 days why even "aadhi " though declared as dud will be made to run for a gigantic 300 days in theatres !

and regarding 2001 issue friends,anandam crossed 175 days and dheena followed with 150 days so its placed as second cos it had quality than friends for its stylish presentation
of new dialouge or mantrathat rocked the state with the term "THALA"!

hope i clarified ur doubts ,but reg ither films ,s kamal movies were super hits but the movie that i have mentioned were appreciated more and did well at box office!
From: prasi on Sun Jan 22 4:27:07 2006.

sorry a mistake manmadan ran for 235 not 135 days!
From: NTR on Sun Jan 22 6:52:03 2006.

okei its...........

SIGAPPU ROJAKKAL
AZHIYAATHA KOLANGAL
HEY RAM / MOONDRAM PIRAI /sindhu BHARAVI (both wins)
From: nilavupriyan on Sun Jan 22 8:25:04 2006.

prasi...

first make it clear on what basis u select the movies!

if u select manmadhan for running more days then sachin also would make it to the list!

u r not clear in selecting..completely confusing!
From: nilavupriyan on Sun Jan 22 8:32:19 2006.

if best 3 in past 25 years considering both collection and class movies

1)devar magan
2)nayagan
3)sethu

only class

1)devar mahan
2)hey raam
3)salangai oli/mullum malarum/sippikul muthu or sethu

only collection

many rajni and kamal movies...but chandramukhi will stand out !

among kamal's movies sakalakala vallavan and aboorva sagodharargal stands out!.
From: prasi on Sun Jan 22 8:56:14 2006.

nilavu its best and top 3 movies every year ,though other releases of that year may have been appreciated or ran well but these above movies really created sensation in all A,B & C centers!
Anyway, as far as my knowledsge and data sources from tamilcinema.com these are facts may be as u say opinions differs anyway,its just an idea abt some best block busters these years and remember i dint want to include some crap vijay movies cos they were made to run whereas these movies are genuine commercially but may not be critically acclaimed that well!
From: nilavupriyan on Sun Jan 22 9:08:38 2006.

prasi .......

why dont u understand what i say!

in 2004 virumaandi released and it was a bigger hit than manmadhan and got an international award...u left virumaandi!

u left vasoolraja m.b.bs

u left muthu in 1997..which is a big hit..

u left out many rajni and kamal movies!

Kasi, the only similarity between 'Summer of '42' and 'Azhiyadha Kolangal' is the infatuation with an older woman. Nothing more. Azhiyadha Kolangal is one of the best movie about childhood nostalgia ever on the Indian screen.
From: Nerd on Sun Jan 22 13:46:12 2006.

Well Kannan, I happened to watch both the movies back to back, w/o even knowing their similarity some 4-5 years back... Actually I forgot the main plot of both the movies.. I think in summer of 42, that lady's hubby goes to WW II and she ll be waiting for him and that kid will be on a vacation to the same town.. I think the kids in AK will also be on a vacation to that town and I dont know about that lady..
From: kannannn on Sun Jan 22 13:56:59 2006.

yes Kasi, in 'Summer of '42'', the guy ends up 'being with her' in the end. But in 'Azhiyadha Kolangal' it's their teacher that the kid is infatuated with (and he is also jealous of seeing Shoba with Prathap Pothan) it doesnt go beyond that. Both movies are great in their own right, but it's unfair to say AK was a rip off.
