You would be the last person I'd take a recommendation from.
Which brings me to this doubt... if you have such a low opinion of Tamil movies, why even bother watching?
Really, is BO our concern? As an audience, I am only concerned about the quality of each movie. Let the producers and distributors worry about BO.
And looking at the BO results over the past few months, I see them as mere ego-massage which does not reflect the truth.
None of the BO figures are reliable and depends entirely on who is reporting them.
This is EXACTLY why I don't want any of the current top heroes to do these kind of movies.Quote:
Yes, we may see only those mass heroes on screen and not Selvam, the driver or Shiva, the undercover agent.
Let's take an example - Sivaji, the best actor then and forever.
Sivaji in the late 60s was already an established super-star, but guess what... when he acted in a movie, you don't see him but only the character. The best example is Gouravam - he plays dual role - you do not see two Sivajis. What you see are two Barristers - it was a movie about these two characters. The mind boggles to recall that basically it was just a Sivaji vs Sivaji show!
This, I find lacking in all current top heroes.
A lot has changed.
Success of movies no longer depends on stars - we have seen how movies by top stars have flopped at the BO.
Success of movies depends entirely on stories and how it's told - that is why movies without any star value have gone on to become huge hits.
Bollywood itself running in Tamil /Telugu remakes...
Explain the BO of Kochadaiyan and Linga, in spite of the presence of huge stars like Rajni and ARR. 8-)

Since 2007, small films have risen tremendously. From no-hope to blockbusters.
Since 2007, mediocre films by top stars have flopped at the BO
Patience brother.... things cannot change overnight. :)

Even before 2007, small films had the same advantage. It is not new. Infact, they had more advantage since no of people going to theaters was high then. More than me, you should be patient for years. I am not questioning your wish but how things works practically. Only popular factors bring audience to theaters in overseas. Otherwise, small movies would have got released quite often compared to regular movies.
Having said that, no one can save a bad movie. But a good movie can be lifted to great heights. Had someone else acted in Gowravam, I don't think it would have achieved the same BO success.
P:s: Shivaji showing as a character in his movies is a very subjective opinion. You can say he was better than others.

Fate of hub...people who claims himself ajith or vijay fan unwantedly pull down vijay/ajith in their post....genuine vijay/ajith fans react to tat and fight starts....this becomes regular in hub
Wat I feel is people who starting it should be a fan of some other actors(not vj/aj)who enjoys people bashing and trolling vj/aj
