  We're all hoping & praying for that to occur .
  
  Has it broken records all around the world or only in chennai city?
  
  I remeber you talking about bets. Here's a piece of an advice. Save that money, betting, till next year and watch 10v twice or even thrice so that it may have a chance of becoming a hit.

  Wishful thinking. U may wish to think that way but that's not reality. Only some Kamal fans are unable to be honest. If you think vasoolraja, mx, pks are rich in quality wise, let that be it. Rajini's joining with Shankar and not with KSR.

  
  
  
  this is TOOOO much..
  
  check out your examples....VR MBBS,PKS,MX...they are all comedy movies (not his best by the way)..And for comedy movies they are all extremely good quality..
  I wont blame you for your lack of comic sense because Rajini has never acted in a full length comedy movie (barring Thillu Mullu)
  
  And you guys are quite satisfied with snake comedies,nude girl in the bathroom comedies etc..Its okay,not ur fault..
  
  Bottom Line:Kamal's comedy movies itself are better QUALITY wise than Rajini's so called serious movies..So i dont want to embarass your superstar with Kamal's serious movies..
  
  Now I am sure you will start yapping about Rajini's BO status
  
  so,,,
  
  Rajini superstar thaan...
  BO King thaan...
  Baba hit thaan..
  CM super---dooper hit thaan...
  Sivaji-um definite hit thaan..
  
  Edhu ellam naan othukkuren..
  
  Happy???

  Quality is a very subjective term......you cannot define quality.......for me even some of kamal's movies are cheap compared to RDBasanti, Swades, Titanic, Notting Hill, Munnabhai MBBS.......do you agree to that??
  
  mr.X, y do u bring Rajini in a kamal thread, unneccesarily Rajini gets bashed here......there are so many rajini threads here including Shivaji thread.....so discuss there....

  Is quality subjective? Opinions are subjective..But quality is standardised,a culmination of several opinions..But even if you assume that quality is subjective,there is an accepted standard of whats is quality and what is not..
  
  You say that some of Kamal's movies are cheap when compared RDBasanti, Swades, Titanic, Notting Hill, Munnabhai MBBS.
  Thats your opinion.
  The list of movies you have come up with is pathetic.
  Thats my opinion..
  
  
  But lets agree that some of Kamal's movies are cheap when compared to the movies you mentioned,that doesnt mean those Kamal movies lack quality..They are quality products on their own..
  You can play Kamal movies to any cinema lover without embarassing yourself..
  
  Can you say the same about Rajini's movies??
  
  

• From: Thirumaran on Wed Sep 13 21:00:57 2006.

  Maddy,
  Definetly there are bad movies from Kamal but not the ones mentioned in this thread in my opinion. We kamal fans, before itself talked abt that in different Kamal related thread.
  
  UN,
  Greate Points. But Let us not make this thread for a fight for Rajini and Kamal. If needed let anyone open some other topic or in an already existing threads which can be suitable.
  
  Let us discuss on VV, its big success, records, etc... and the one and only Kamal.
  
  Diversion of topic is danger for this thread only We have more to discuss on VV.

  I dont see the reason for cynicism there..PKS and MX are quality movies belonging to the COMEDY genre...I think you are confusing box office collections with the quality of a movie..Why didnt you mention Thenali?,is it because it ran for 175 days ??

  check out the interview with KB by Bardadwaj Rangan
  http://brangan.easyjournal.com/
  
  According to KB '' VV Is a good movie, very well done, very well enacted and all that. The moment I saw it, I sent for Kamal. He came here and we discussed the film.''
  
  Good to know that Kamal is still discussing his movies with his mentor..I thought they KB and KH were no longer in such close terms..

  That is what you IMPLIED by your snake examples
  
  The genre of thenali, mx is comedy. If thenali gets a 7/10 MX will get a 3/10. Thats how quality is being measured.
  
  Did this wake you up ???

  Guys cool down... Mumbai Express was a pretty good movie..the main reason why it did not seem that good was because of the way it was shot in digital format and the removal of some scenes plus the way the songs gelled with the movie that caused some confusion. Other than that it was quite good. PKS was a laugh riot.
  
  As for rajini movies being quality wise..let me remind you that rajini although he did compete with kamal early on with movies like netrikann, mullum malurum,jhonny, 6 to 60 he wanted to have his own style and started becoming a all round mass star while kamal continued his style of performance oriented movies. Mass movies and performance oriented movies cannot be compared..if you want to really compare rajini movies than compare it with kamal's mass movies. And also remb that both are different styled actors.
  
  Tamilnadu has two extremely talented stars who are best friends off screen while the fans
  
  Anyways lets celebrate the astounding success of VV here

  If you say "you can play some Kamal movies to any ..." I will agree. And I think Nerd will too. But I hope u are not making any universal statement.
  
  MX had some base humour. This differs from the ones in Avvai Shanmugi, Magarasan etc (where he used to shy away saying 'vyaabarigaLudan sambandhappattuk koLvadhanaal sila samayam kuppaigaL uruvaaginRana'). I quote MX because it was a home production with dialogues by Kamal.I did not expect things like that.
  
  Why going back to Annamalai,Veera etc, even some of celebrated comedy scenes in CM involving Rajini were too low. IMO, Rajini shouldn't have done that.
  
  I could be accused of wearing tinted glasses and seeing only the bad parts. But the fact remains that they were there to be seen.
  
  My point is: Rendu pEr thOttathilayum kuppai undu. And the kind of kuppai one would be readily embaressed about.

  Well put Prabhu_ram.
  
  As for embarassing moments, yes every star will have to go through that.
  
  I am a fan of both, and I can enjoy both's comedy, however intelectual or stupid they are.
  
  If I have a friend who can't keep his or her trap shut about how stupid Rajini's movies are...I keep away from him (I did, it was a her).
  
  If I have a friend who complains that Kamal's comedy are not original and have been borrowed heavily from Hollywood, I'd stay away from him again for being so ignorant of film history.
  
  I'd laugh at Chaplin and I lough the loudest at the anarchy of Marx Brothers. You need different mindsets to watch both. I am proud that I have that mindset.

  The film has netted an amazing Rs. 1.70 crore (approximately) from Chennai city in its first two weeks, a new city record! The distributor's share of Rs. 1.03 crore will be the highest for any film in a span of 14 days. In Coimbatore area, the film is likely to get a distributor's share of over Rs. 2 crore in the long run.

  Every actor had their list of bad movies,but they did it when it was required for some reasons ,mostly commercial ..but kamal is one of the actors always admit he acted in movies which hates to recall it .Even he mentioned 'kuppai like sakalakalavallavan' ,which was a huge hit.
  
  Sometimes actors needs to shape of their root based on what is expected from them ,not what they prefer ..Interestigly many actors has different taste in personal life ,opposite to the type of movies.
  
  Few examples
  
  1.Super star rajini -who is now doing upmost masala movies ,is really a lover of serious movies ..Infact he like kamal movies .His favourite movie is NT's 'Saraswathi sapatham'
  
  2.Makkal thilagam MGR was huge fan of the movie 'Thillana mohanampal' ,he watched his movie many many times ..He praised bagyaraj's 'Munthaanai mudichu' a lot ,went to the extend of announcing bagyaraj as his 'Kalayulaga vaarisu'.
  
  3.NT who is known for his serious type of movies ,had a great interest in English action movies .whenever he was free ,he used to watch English action movies ,which is opposite to his nature of own movies.

  Magadheera to hit screen in October
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, September 13, 2006]
  
  
  
  Directed by Goutham and produced by D Rajvarma on the banner of Sri Venkateswara Cine Enterprises, 'Magadheera' with Kamal Haasan in the lead is most likely to hit the screen in October.
  
  Producer Rajvarma says, 'The Tamil version of the film was released recently and is being screened with houseful collections. Popular music director Harris Jayaraj provided tunes to the film and is enthralling everyone. At the same time, the fights choreographed by Peter Haynes are also attracting the youth and mass well. More than half of the film was shot abroad and also in never before locations. We are planning to release the audio soon and the film in October. We are confident that the audio as well as the film would be a big hit in Telugu too.'

  Sreedhar Pillai says, "...In Chennai city, the film was aggressively marketed by its distributor `Oscar' Ravichandran, who flooded the market with a record five prints..."
  
  I can't understand this logic. How come it's only 5 prints for Chennai city? If you take 1 print for 1 screen, the count should obviously be more. But if it's shared (usually done among theatres in a complex or if two theatres are close to each other), it will come close to what he claims:
  
  Melody, Albert, Sathyam - 1 (remote possibility)
  Sri Brindha - 1
  Kasi - 1
  Bharat - 1
  Abirami, GopiKrishna - 1
  
  Of the above, I feel there'll be a print dedicated for Sathyam which leaves Melody and Albert to share one. The print count in this case comes to 6
  
  Can any trade pundits clarify?

  சமீபத்தில் பல தடைகளைத் தாண்டி ரிலீஸ் செய்யப்பட்ட "வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு" திரைப்படம் கமல்ஹாசனே எதிர்பார்க்காத அபார வெற்றியை அவருக்குத் தந்திருப்பதாகத் தெரிகிறது....
  
  படத்துக்கு இருந்த மிகப்பெரும் எதிர்பார்ப்பால் ஓபனிங் கலெக்சனில் சந்திரமுகி, அந்நியன் திரைப்படங்களில் ரெகார்டை உடைத்த வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு இரண்டாவது வாரத்தில் கடுமையான சரிவைச் சந்தித்தது.... படம் ஆவரேஜ் ஹிட் எனப்படும் வகையில் தான் இருந்தது....
  
  ஆனால் மூன்றாவது வாரத்தில் திடீரென Gear போட்டு கிளம்பி பட்டையைக் கிளப்பி வருகிறது.... இதுவரை சென்னை தியேட்டர்கள் கற்பனை கூட செய்துப் பார்க்காத அளவில் வசூலை வாரி குவிக்கத் தொடங்கியிருக்கிறது.... ஆகஸ்ட் 25 அன்று வெளியான இந்த திரைப்படம் செப்டம்பர் 6 வரை சென்னை தியேட்டர்களில் மட்டும் சுமார் ஒண்ணேமுக்கால் கோடி வரை வசூலித்து அபார சாதனை புரிந்திருக்கிறது.... இதற்கு முன் சாதனை செய்த சந்திரமுகி, அந்நியன், கஜினி திரைப்படங்களின் வசூல் சாதனையை அநாயசமாக அடித்து நொறுக்கியிருக்கிறது.... கமலோ அல்லது படத்தின் தயாரிப்பாளரோ (அவருக்கு பட்டை நாமம் தானாம்) படத்தை விநியோகம் செய்த ஆஸ்கர் பிலிம்ஸோ கனவில் கூட இந்த சாதனையை நினைத்துப் பார்த்திருக்க முடியாது....
  
  கமல் படங்களுக்கு வழக்கம் போல இருக்கும் டல்லான B & C ஓபனிங் தான் இந்தப் படத்துக்கும் இருந்தது.... இப்போது அந்த சென்டர்களிலும் கூட பட்டையைக் கிளப்பி வருகிறதாம்... குறிப்பாக மதுரை, ராமநாதபுரம் மற்றும் கோவை ஏரியாக்களில் படம் 3வது வார வசூலில் சிகரம் கண்டிருக்கிறது....
  
  டிக்கெட்டு விலை எவரெஸ்ட் உயரத்தில் இருந்தாலும் அரங்கு நிறைந்த காட்சிகளாக ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு தமிழக அரசின் கேளிக்கை வரி சலுகையால் விநியோகஸ்தர்களுக்கு "லம்பான" லாபத்தை கொடுத்திருக்கக் கூடும்....
  
  நிச்சயமாக இது பிளாக் பஸ்டர் ஹிட் தான்....
  
  இந்தப் படத்தின் அபார வெற்றியால் சென்ற வாரம் வெளியான சில்லென்று ஒரு காதல் மற்றும் எம்(டன்) மகன் திரைப்படங்களின் வசூல் பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது...
  
  3 வாரமாக இந்தப் படத்தைப் பார்க்க திரையரங்கை முற்றுகையிட்டு டிக்கெட் கிடைக்காமல் நொந்துப் போய் வருகிறேன்.... எப்படியும் இந்த வாரம் பார்த்துவிட்டு விமர்சனம் எழுதுகிறேன்....

  I watched the first half yesterday .... I loved it !! The best ones that I would have whistled like crazy had I been in an Indian were these dialogues ...
  
  Kamal: Dei Thambi, Kathava Moodra!
  
  Thambi: Blinks
  
  Kamal: Ot*a Moodra Naa !!!
  
  Adadadaa ... I shouted with joy!!
  
  Next scene ...
  
  Danny: SH*T SH*T S*IT !!
  
  Kamal: Sh*t Sh*t nu solreeya ... Athu enna unga amma pera !!!
  
  Superoooo Super !!! This is exactly the Kamal I was missing after Indian ... The first half was sooo action packed ans stylish, that any mass fan like me would love to enjoy ... Can't wait to see the second half tonight !!
  
  PS: I have already mentioned my reasons for downloading and watching this movie, and many more ... So the ETHICAL ones, pls forgive me this time !!!
  
  

• From: m_23_bayarea on Thu Sep 14 12:14:26 2006.

  * And also, the intro scene was really good !!! He has this heated exchange of dialogues with those bad guys, and all of a sudden, starts beating the heq out of them ... And then the song !! Wow, I had goosepumps !!
  
  * And then, Kamal's reactions to Prakash Raj's Greif, the sharing of pain that he showed with gratitude was awesome!
  
  * Man, why did they kill that Kamalini babe so soon? Does she come in the 2nd half at all? She was GORGEOUS man ! And that song was soooo romantic!
  
  * NY was well picturised ... Anderson got killed too ... Poor guy, he helped a lot!
  
  Overall, the first half was FABULOUS !!!

  One more thing I forgot to mention was Harris' music guys! He is just rocking day by day ... All the 3 songs were amazing in the first half ... And the BGM, as always I loved it ... Especially when Danny and his associate escape from the airport, he had an ARR touch there !!
  
  Also, when Kamal tells Anderson in the flight, They're somewhere out there, Danny and his friend walking across Brooklyn bridge, just before Intermission, the BGM was amazing ... If I had this movie when I was in College in say Devi or Albert, I would throw coins at such scenes !!!! The Nerupae song was sooo well choreographed !!! NICE NICE !!! I'll stop here though !!!
  
  TM, Jo was sooo sad all along though !!
  
  Nilavu's idea is well taken for the next movie !!

  Yeah TM, This is like the professor asking, I dont understand what ABCD means !!!
  
  The thing that amazed me most was, Kamal maintains a very mellow, quiet guy image in the movie, but then all of a sudden, he comes up with some amazing words and lines like ...
  
  I can't bear violence against women, even if it's not in my jurisdiction !!!
  
  Dude, that dialogue just rocked my world man !!!
  
  I can see some subtitles running when English dialogues pop up ... Anybody knows how the masses in TN are taking it?? Well I know, when I watched movies like SPEED, MATRIX, etc, in India, the masses used to whistle for all action, romance scenes, and take breaks when longer dialogues come in .. Is the same concept applied here??
  
  

• From: Nerd on Thu Sep 14 16:17:06 2006.

  Actually the first half was pretty good until the point where raghavan meets amudhan for the first time. That scene was totally dumb Here is a review of that scene from a famous blogger, brangan:
  
  

  Quote:

  it’s when the antagonist makes his appearance that the film threatens to fall apart. There’s an awful scene where we learn who he is, why he is the way he is, and so on, and it’s so clumsily and simplistically done, it’s like a schoolchild reading out an essay he wrote titled “Me and My Motivations”. Part of the sneaky appeal of serial-killer thrillers is in the gradual revelation of the serial killers’ motives. We’re already in horror about what they are doing, and the best movies in this genre – Seven, The Silence of the Lambs – make us sink into further horror about why they are doing these things. There isn’t any of that here, and the person who plays the killer is encouraged to act out so broadly, it comes as a shock, especially considering how underplayed everything else is.

  
  
  Thats the point where I was like what the hell and the movie never attracted any interest after that

  sir, it was you that rang the danger bell in one of the posts above
  
  Now crying for moderators help? sinna pillai thanamaa irukku sir.
  
  I reiterate: I wanted Kamal to earn reprieve through VV. After Indian, he was struggling to render a blockbuster movie. His path was rather rough.
  
  We know he, now, can't hold a handle to Rajini in box office. I was anticipating his Anbe Sivam to become a hit because it was competing Dhool and Puthiya Geethai.
  
  I betted someone in favour of Kamal that AS will become a decent hit at any rate. I was dissapointed. Dhool became a big hit sidelining AS.
  
  Then came the CM vs MX battle. I promise I'm not excavating.
  
  Now, Kamal was teaming up with a talented young director so again I was wishing(not hoping) it becomes a hit. Now I'm happy for Kamal who has a hit after a while.
  
  Now Kamal fans are too excited and think kamal is the only saviour of tamil. Anyhow, happy to see you smiling after the MX debacle.

  U r now resort to hurling out abuses which is expected from a typical Kamal fan. It is indicant of the deficiency of ammo. Too bad is that you are making a bad impression that anybody will lose the respect they had for kamal fans. Coming to think of it, I suspect if anyone has any for you. It's not the end of the world.

  We are not too excited CM was a record breaker. Rajini breaks his own record, no competition at all. We agree, we had few flops but over all Rajini delivers blockbusters as if it was a formality.

  I called X "half-trouser" because it seems he started watching movies only from AS-Dhool, MX-CM etc... and not because someone is after BO records. Why is it that nobody questions him when he says Rajini is the ONLY actor who has set/broken BO records?

  I know what makes up ur mirth in keep saying Kamal hadn't had a hit since Indian .... but for ut info
  Avvai Shanmugi - Super hit (4th biggest hit of 1996 after Indian, Kathal KOttai, Ullathai aLLithaa)
  Thenali - Blockbuster, almost equal to Padayappa's collections of 32 crores with a 30+ crore collection (biggest of 2000, naveen mite come saying Kushi was the biggest )
  Virummaandi - Hit (4th biggest of 2004, after Gilli, Autograph, VRMBBS)
  VRMBBS - look above

  That was a direct proof he dont have any idea about Kamal and his movies or his box office values.
  
  By the way, dont pull stranger here as this guy is not stranger. Stranger knows what she talks and she has good knowledge on Kamal and Rajini movies.
  
  And For u all he is not a Rajini fan too. His motive is to bring fights between Kamal and Rajini fan and his motive is getting fulfilled. Better Keep away from his posts instead of bashing each other's actors. Atleast threads specific to Kamal and Rajini is not a place for fights.
  
  We all know abt Kamal's box office performance and several of his records will never be broken by anyone. It had been mentioned in different threads of Kamal. If anyone interesed/or dont have any idea abt that can go and refer from there.

  This time i concentrated only on kamal's acting, well i wuld say he was acting even when he was silent too. planning for 4th time in some other mall.
  
  Found the BGM bit loudy, or is PVR keeping the volume bit high?
  
  Skipped it on 1st day but this time i watched - end credits, nice one..they show kamal jumping from high wall...in good closep, made sure that is not graphics

  VV’s high-profile US fan
  Sep 18, 200
  
  ndian movies are doing good business in the United States and Tamil movie stars are much sought after – this upbeat statement is uttered by none other than David Hopper, who serves as the United States Assistant Ambassador to India. A special screening of the latest Kamal flick ‘Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu’ was arranged for him in Chennai recently.
  Kamal
  
  
  An obviously impressed David expressed his liking towards Indian cinema in a press meet immediately after the screening. Movies from India register a good income in the States more than the other language movies like Spanish and French, David said. This results in the enhancement of culture, economy and business, he opined.
  
  Tamil movie stars have a huge fan following in the States, said David. I was able to follow ‘Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu’ because of its content in English and the subject dealing was easy to understand, he added.
  When Hollywood movies are categorized into action, comedy and romantic, Indian movies are a blend of these three elements and this aspect make them much more interesting, David concluded.

  simply put, kamal too has the box office magic, and thats proved by VV. that all. maybe kamals total no of hits are less\quite less than rajini's....we never care that

  Taken off yes, but which is doing well is the question.. They even took off VV from Satyam to accommodate SOK [because of an earlier contract, nothing else]. Doesnt prove anything.

  At Sathyam they had earlier contract, but what about theatres in like Vetri, Rakki, D.K.A, Sundar etc etc etc., just dont say, VV was running packed houses in all these theatres, but still they had a contract, oscar films relased the movie in Chengalput area, with an agreement it had to run minimum of 50days in all the theatres, just the collections were lagging, they'd shifted to small theatres, inorder to cope with the agreement.

  1) I said it was taken off from Satyam because of contract
  2) I said it was doing well in Rakesh
  3) I didnt say its still running full house in ALL theatres in suburbs.
  Bottom line, i didnt make blanket statements about those theatres
  
  How does that take away the fact that its broken opening records everywhere?
  And how does it take away the fact that its made massive collections in whichever screens it was released in the opening weeks till now?
  How does it take away the fact that
  i) inspite of the record prices
  ii) urban theme [slickness factor]
  ii) English dialogues
  it has done extremely well till now [above expectations] in the "lower" centers?
  Its bound to be taken off from some screens because of the # of screens, proximity of theatres and the aforementioned points. And like i've clearly mentioned before, i doubt if the film will have much backrunning. What matters is the collection. Did the distributors and exhibitors make money? What is the total collection etc...
  We are not here for a # of days race....

  Kanna neenga vishayam theriyama pesakudathu, its true that agreement has been made for 50 days in suburbs, if you want u check up with Vetri and Rakhi theatre management.
  
  As far as CM is concerned, it is Prabhu who wanted the film to run for more than 500 days, that too b'coz of the history in created in collections worldwide. Ithukkum Rajinikkum yentha sampanthamum illai.

• From: RajaRam on Tue Sep 19 0:45:45 2006.

  Unique features of VV.
  
  
  1)Kamal didn't release VV after 3 years from his previous release what Rajini is doing last 10 years. movie was not released on vacation time(April).
  
  2)VV didn't have any hype like what Anniyan had(first tamil movie produced in more than 30 crore budjet, 1 crore was spent for song and fight).
  
  3)First tamil movie released in 3 big screens in chennai mount road area.same August month 2002 Baba released in both Satyam and Albert with ticket rate Rs100. But the same day itself the rate was reduced due to poor response. after 2 week in night show only 2 row was full in none other than satyam theatre--source-Kumudam magazine.
  
  4)CM's third week collection is 92%. see the below link. where as vv's third week collection is 98.5%.(Remember VV released more no of screens than CM, CM released vacation time,Rajini movie released after 3 years)
  
  CM's third week report.
  http://sify.com/entertainment/movies/tamil/boxoffice/fullstory.php?id=13732758
  
  VV's third week report.
  http://sify.com/movies/tamil/boxoffice/fullstory.php?id=14289174
  
  5)In Madurai, VV is running in 4 big screens(Mathy-1050,Sivam-1200,cinipriya-1100 and vetri-1000). this is the first time in Madurai to release a movie in 4 big screens and also running succesfully even after 25 days.(Baba released 4 screens-Guru,Annamalai,Cinipriya and amirtham.Here annamalai is small screen like chennai santhi theatre. but after one week baba moved from cinipriya to minipriya which is 400 seat capacity. CM also released in 4 screens-Guru,nadana,Tamil and Amirtham. But both Nadana and Tamil are small screens like santhi and Santham in chennai.)In madurai district VV is running in 15 B&C centers(equal to CM).
  
  6) In Tamil film history VV is the second movie which was taken in foreign locations became block buster.
  
  first movie was USV(1973). Priya and varuvan vadivelan ran 100 days.not block busters. for kamal this is the first movie. all other previous movies failed in BO.(Ninaithale inikkum,Ullasaparavaihal,Japanil kalayanaraman etc)
  
  7)For gautham, In his career, this is his first blockbuster movie and also doing well in B & C(where as his previous movies Minnale bombed in B& c and KK did above average business)
  
  For Mani, after Nayagan he became famous in indian cinema.
  for Shankar,after Indian he became famous.
  Now Gautham.
  
  So once again proved that
  
  ANDRUM INDRUM ENDRUM KAMAL IS A BOX OFFICE EMPEROR IN TAMIL FILM INDUSTRY

  aaha! kelapitangaiyaa! kelampittanga!!
  
  Btw,Kamal was once Box office king .Not now ,though still he has a tremendous box office opening capacity ..Because of his movies's nature ,he lost women and children audience ,But Rajini still holds women and children audience ..But for me ,kamal has reached the level that he is not a actor to prove his box office capability ,but he stands out in quality and making us tamils proud infront of others.

  The unsung heroes on the sets of VV and Sivaji It’s a cruel world out there. People who do the tough work usually get no credit for their efforts. This is true to a large extent especially in the world of cinema. It is the people on screen who steal all the thunder. The men behind it who play no mean part in things that happen often go unnoticed. But this is not about people who do not appear on screen, it is about people who do appear on screen but pass off as someone else. This article is about stuntmen, in particular about a stuntman who risked and lost his life for a scene that is currently rocking theatres all over Tamil Nadu. Kamal Kamal’s stunt double in VV – Logu is no more By now, most of us would have seen Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu, the latest blockbuster starring Kamal Hassan. Those who have seen the movie will for sure remember the hair-raising climax scenes where Kamal chases one of the serial killers on a bike in his Tata Sumo. The chase scene ends with the Sumo taking a giant leap over the bike and landing safely in front of it. The scene has become so popular that Tata Sumo is actually using the scene as an advertisement. In the movie we all saw Kamal in the driver’s seat. But who performed the leap, if anyone things it was Kamal then it is time for that person to get some counseling. A professional stuntman known in film circles as Logu performed the leap. He has been part of the film industry for many years now. There are no leading heroes in the Tamil industry for whom Logu has not performed as a ‘dupe’. His name is synonymous with daredevilry in the industry. He has worked for almost all the major film industries in India including the Hindi industry. He has performed many stunts that are far more dangerous and risky than the car jump in VV. But fate was cruel. Kamal What was not shown on screen was that on the first attempt the car with Logu in it did not land the way it was planned to. From such heights, even a minor error is enough to let things go haywire. The fall and the resultant shock severely damaged Logu’s spinal cord. Even though he was immediately taken to the Apollo hospital and given emergency treatment he failed to recover. After battling for three months, Logu breathed his last on the 11th of this month. Kamal & Goutham menon The last salute A large number of people from the Cinema Stunt Union paid their homage to this daredevil whom they all looked up to. Gautham Menon, director of VV too paid his respects. Siva the stunt director of VV was present alongside the body of Logu till the last rites were performed. Later, he spoke about Logu, the professional. He said that the stunt performed in VV was quite ordinary by Logu’s standards. He recounted many of the stunts that Logu had performed without fear. Rajamani, the secretary of the stunt union too had the same opinion. He also added that Logu was very popular among the heroes of Kollywood not only for his skills but also for his friendly nature. Logu is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son who is also a stuntman. The stunt union took care of all the treatment expenses and has paid the family a fair amount as compensation. Kamal who is quite busy with his next project Dasavatharam is yet to issue a statement on the stunt man. Sources say that Kamal was not able to visit ailing Logu in hospital nor take part in the final rituals. This is kind of an unusual gesture from Kamal who is always known to recognize the sincere efforts of his co-workers.

  
  
  
  Read this guys amongst all the happiness with the flim this news is really worrying
  
  My deepest condolenses to Logu and his family

  bay, Its good to see a rajini fan praising kamal's victory....VV has not completely surpassed the CM Records but it has broken may records, and in some sorts it had created new records.....apart, there are lot of kamal fans (like me)who are not keen on kamal being a No1 Box Office Hero. He has lot of oter acheivements to make.....and bOx office records automatically falls in place then and there........Actually, kamals last film flopped and he is working on his next film in racy speed to prove his skill for one more time...VV is something he done in middle of that. ther eis no contribution from kamal apart from acting, but hsi plain-class acting and other goodies in the film has helped it to become a blockbuster
  
  kamal and his fans are happy about that but our real treat is Dasavatharam only. we may forget VV at that time......

  bala, no iam not, thats why i have used the word "may be". dont think different, you would have seen some of the kamal fans who think kamal has lot more things to acheive...
  
  He has done more than 200 films, he hase crossed all kinds of success........In this state, its not at all right to
  limiting him to Box office records or
  praising him only for box office success or
  worriying for his films failure.....
  
  afterall he has done/doing and going to do in future, all sorts of box office records. so if his films(on the whole) has earned few paise or rupees more than others, it dont mean that he is BO king, also if his films collections are few paise or rupees less than rajini's(or other) it doesnt mean he is weaker than rajini(or other actor) in BO.
  
  But most People in TN dont have this mentality. When Anbesivam earned less than Dhool, i hear people saying that kamal went lower than vikram ...i didnt know what to say i also dont know what ppl will say about vikram now, his last films is a flop, and he is a talented actor, interested to do vareity of charectrers........
  
  rajini (or any other) fans like rajini for few common reasons, there is no difference at all....but thats not the case of kamal. as he try to keep each of his movies completely different, he attracts crowds from different groups of peaople who are different in thoughts opinions ethics principles ect...
  
  not all kamal fans like kamal for few common reasons, each of them like kamal in their own way..thats the uniqueness of kamal

  i dont hate you but can at you bcos you think its KSR who is the brain of 10A
  
  Kamal is a wounded tiger now(due to the flop of MX) so he will roar loudly (in ten sounds) in 10 A. He is not a normal actor to get happy and staisfied with the success of VV. Actua;;y kamal has seen lot of VVs in his life and its just a passing cloud for him....

  Oh not at all !!! It's a piece of cake for Oscar Ravi to block even 80% of the theatres, Especially if the other movie releasing is a RAJINI movie !!!

  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

  Maybe they will book whole of TN's theaters for 10A and Shivaji will be released in APradesh or Karnataka......
  
  i guess not only V V is breaking BO records but even kamal fans are breaking records in making claims......

  How can I resist the temptation? Rajini again.

  afterall he has done/doing and going to do in future, all sorts of box office records. so if his films(on the whole) has earned few paise or rupees more than others, it dont mean that he is BO king, also if his films collections are few paise or rupees less than rajini's(or other) it doesnt mean he is weaker than rajini(or other actor) in BO.

  
  
  Rajini is second to none in box office. Rajini's ahead of anyone in box office.

  But most People in TN dont have this mentality. When Anbesivam earned less than Dhool, i hear people saying that kamal went lower than vikram ...i didnt know what to say i also dont know what ppl will say about vikram now, his last films is a flop, and he is a talented actor, interested to do vareity of charectrers........

  What a barren statement. Rajini draws crowds from lawyers to doctors to teachers to professors to police to seniors to ladies to kids. The fact is he draws more crowds.

  Now THAT is the Bottom Line!
  
  Although I am a Diehard of both Rajini and Kamal, the fact is that Rajini is a bigger crowd puller, Kamal might come in second, but kamal also has his own plus points!
  
  Is one neccerily better than the other in their job which is being an entertainer? NO!

  Hey, I don't think he wanted to mean that way, looking at his first line. What he probably wanted to convey was that Rajni fans like Rajni for a common/same reasons(yeah, doctors to lawyers to con man ....) ... But for Kamal there r many different reasons for ppl to value/admire him .... For ex:- In this hub, hubber poornima(A Rajni fan), who has always said that she doesn't think Kamal as a great actor,(but then she exalted him for VV and some other movies ) said once, that she values Kamal's contribution to cinema as a writer,producer much more than that of Mani and the likes !!
  Now that is a HUGE statement from an ordinary movie watcher's point of view(Who mite not even b aware of Kamal's contribution as a writer, producer !!! ) !! (Had that statement been said by a Kamal fan , some Mani fanatics/ Kamal ill-well wishers mite have reeled,rolled on the floor ) ....
  So thatz what he probably wanted to convey ... Ppl (same doctors to lawyers to con man ....) like/value him for various different reasons ....
  I too have friends who say they are not fans of Kamal's acting but great fans of his writing skills ..(they rank Hey ram, Anbe sivam among their top favs).. ... and one says he likes Kamal when he does movies with Chennai tamil, and he says Kamal rocks in that .... otherwise
  So see, there are loads of different reasons for Kamal being liked & each one probably have their own reasons ....

  To all rajini fans, Its one peson who posted somethign about sivaji and dasavatharam release, but its not fair that you mention that all kamal fans are making comedy here.....please refrain to the specific person who posted the message
  
  apart, i dont know about sivaji release but for 10 A, oscar ia already into scouting theatres, he has booked some important screens like Baba Complex of Coimbatore.....no need to say about the production\distribution and marketing skills of Oscar, its just a combination of Best Artist and Best Producer, no other combination can get better than this.
  
  even for sivaji, its rajini's crowd pulling power, than the AVM's skills which is going to help get theatres. AVM has name but their recent track record is very bad, not a hit movie after gemini
  
  apart, Kamal and Oscar plan to release 10 A witrh 1000 prints, Its a Trilingual, Baby
