Box Office Collections - Jilla vs Veeram

[mappi]

That's what myself and Selvakumar were talking about the other day.

[Mr.GreyShirt]

How does distribution work? Does the distributors have decide which movies get which screens or they make a deal with the theater owners and the owners decide? I don't know anything about how these things work.

[Death Note]

Not understanding the bias of Ayngaran. Have seen them give less importance to Ajith in UK than Vijay in distribution. Was expecting equal scenes (USA distribution is top tucker in comparison, both Veeram/Jilla got around equal number of screens.) With Arrambam being a money-spinner, I expected Ayngaran to alot more than they got. Dirty politics or because they are producers for Vijay-ARM venture, I guess.

Vijay has a bigger fan base here in the UK. Bigger fanbase+More screens=More money for Ayngaran. :D

Exclude jilla. Then you will be donkelam don dandanaka don

ha ha ah,even after including Jilla or whatever your film is,we are donukelam don than .. I said in Kerala,the competition is not equal to show our strength there...

Ivlo pesuringalale,as per your BO data itself(note this point,itha naanga othukala but neenga sonnatha vachi naan kekuren),Jilla has +4C(in Kerala) and +1C(in UK) ~+1C(Middleeast and Europe) and not much difference in collection for both films in US,Karnataka,Malaysia and Australia.. Which means you have upperhand in Overseas by +6C by the first weekend which is appreciable. But the total difference between both the films collection is just +2C which meanssssssssss, we have +4C(6-2) collection more than yours in TN.

You say that Vijay i next to great superstar in TN,then why this gigantic difference in his own area? We need to know(in Ajith's mankatha style :D)...

If i had to give an explanation for this from my side,I say that ,his overseas/Kerala collection which i appreciated earlier is purely because of Mohanlal,so there is no point with your argument that Dr.Vijay is the next super star of TN.(May be if Mohanlal was not a part of the cast,then we would have had equal competition in Kerala too and opening could have been seen and there would have been an argument)

If you are gonna say that the competition in TN was not equal/fair because we had Ajith and your film had only Vijay and Mohanlal,then i just dont have anything else to talk,i keep myself shut.

If you still keep posting your bha bha black sheep posts,i strongly recommend you to add Vijay along with Mohanlal is the King of opening or whatever you want to call(because i have been hearing from Mohanlal fans that it was Vijay who acted in Lal's film and that's why Jilla couldn't compete in TN whereas it doing wonders in Kerala and Middleeast).

Vijay does enjoy a good run Kerala, which is undeniable. But it certainly got boosted with Lal factor.

being a malayali if your star is not able to do anything its not our fault. Direct malayalam mohanlal movie didnt even collect 50% of current jilla collection. So stop mohanlal da comedies. Tamil nadu big difference? :rotfl: . What proof you have for that? Dubakoorwoods?

விஜய் நடித்த ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தின் நீளம் அதிரடியாக குறைக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

விஜய் நடித்த ‘ஜில்லா’ படம் இன்றுமுதல் உலகமெங்கும் ரிலீசாகியுள்ளது. விஜய்க்கு ஜோடியாக காஜல் அகர்வால் நடித்துள்ள இந்தப் படத்துக்கு இன்று அதிகாலை 4 மணி காட்சி முதலே ரசிகர்கள் உற்சாக வரவேற்பு கொடுத்து வருகிறார்கள்.

சாதாரணமாக ஒரு படம் 2 மணி 10 நிமிடம் இருந்தாலே ரசிகர்களுக்கு போரடிக்கத் துவங்கி விடும். அப்படிப்பட்ட சூழலில் இதுவரை ரிலீசான எந்த விஜய் படத்திலும் இல்லாத வகையில் ‘ஜில்லா’ படம் சுமார் 3 மணி நேரத்தை தாண்டி ஓடுகிறது.

இதனால் தியேட்டரில் படத்தை உட்கார்ந்து பார்க்கும் ரசிகர்கள் சீக்கிரத்திலேயே சோர்வடைந்து விடுவதாகவும், படம் ஓடிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் போதே அடிக்கடி எழுந்து வெளியே போய் விடுவதாகவும் தியேட்டர்கள் தரப்பில் தகவல் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டது.

இதையடுத்து ரசிகர்கள், மற்றும் நண்பர்கள் வேண்டுகோளுக்கு இணங்க ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தின் நீளத்தை 10 நிமிடம் குறைக்க உத்தரவிட்டிருக்கிறாராம் தயாரிப்பாளர் ஆர்.பி.செளத்ரி.

இன்று இரவுமுதல் இந்த நீளம் குறைக்கப்பட்ட ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தை ரிலீசாகியுள்ள எல்லா தியேட்டர்களிலும் பார்க்கலாம் என்றும் அவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்

[Siv.S]

The 1st week run is coming to a close, and many heated arguments are happening on all sorts of data coming from all corners. Strictly not going into the huge numbers shared here, I stick to my strategical approach by each film as well its the pros and cons.

1/ Summary : The two films released with a time varying ratio of (about) 2:1 (may marginally vary in TN). So its absolutely normal for the benefit of earnings, to juggle with this ratio. Scientifically speaking, in a time varying ratio, higher value product requires lower ratios to be more efficient. But SOME Vijay fans would argue otherwise, which does not interest me. So after the weekend, this ratio will slowly take a turn in a way that the market is shared. It will slowly start to become 1:2, that also for a fixed time. Now, what should be alarming for both teams is the slide percentage. That would give a idea of the preference rate, viz à viz the business it had made in the marked time. If the ratio stays 1:2 for the next week, its fine but if its 1:3, time to start worrying. Please care to derive a number for both the films day / show wise, rather than battling over a twitter message which at any point of time does not consider any of these indicators or the data.

2/ Overseas/other region - Even though I do not have a fixed number, I could see the ratio as 3:1, that's basically because the distribution was taken care by a partner either associated with the film or its future production house. No shows at UAE, cancelled shows at Singpore, delayed shows at some places are great hints of backdoor business strategy. So the alarming amount stated here for Jilla is not a big deal. But what should alarm them is that Veeram is close behind even after about 24 hours slow start. Please note to do the hypothesis for the following week as illustrated in point 1. Also try to put in the fact that : Two 200ml bottles full of water is not greater than one half litre bottle of water.

3/ 35 crores so far for both films - While hearing this I feel like the person sitting on top of the money bundle in Dark Knight. Anyway, so there is a tie or its seem so. Fine, so what does that state to us - converting it in unit, there are 35 people who have watched both movies - one as a fan and the other for - you know why ! It clearly states that, this week is a fan based week. Your attention from this moment must be on how this figure is changing in day to day basis, to see which film is gaining the needed response.

4/ I have watched both the movies. Let me act as though I am blind to the star power of Ajith & Vijay, and talk only about its content. Jilla's motive is to attract younger guys who are gearing up to choose their idols. The whole setup [I cannot go in detail, as that would kindle the fire in that camp] is aimed at them. Veeram is, as sited before, quite professional in its approach. It had a check list of NOs, mainly keeping in mind to provide a clean entertainer.

5/ Veeram maintains its calm and as in any Ajith film, they leave the fate of the movie to the audience. Jilla still craves on its Hype factor. That's a strategy used to sell DVDs. A foreign film's DVD jacket contains two lines of synopsis, but a dozen markings about it being selected at international film festivals, its likeness rating from magazine and some also states that a big film maker liked the movie like - Quentin Tarantino : "I wish I had made this movie". So Jilla team follows that by giving success meets which is nothing to be criticized about. If Veeram doesn't want to be aggressive in its promotion, there is no hard and fast rule that their opponent should not take it up. But, this promotional strategy of Jilla is thinning down day by day. They got to pickup something else fast, or it could jeopardize their long time term revenues.

6/ For the distributors coming out and crying the collection details, I have no say, unless and otherwise they have an officially declared formulaire for our disposition.

As usual, the above is my view. Any questions are welcome with respect to the content. And I will stand corrected if my observation is wrong. Meet you all again next week.

Never knew this thread will cross these many pages.I thought we all are matured enough to avoid these silly fights.
What is more worrying is some of our senior hubbers are involving in these derogatory stuff,well do you guys really think our favorite(Thala or IlayaThalapathy) will like these.
I hope we stop this.

I movie is bad we need to accept and ask our star to correct the mistake.We have no rights to project other's movie as flop or hit but we can always say you like or don't like the movie nothing more than that.

Chennai Pongal Box-Office - Jan 10 to 15 | Thursday, 16 January , 2014, 13:12


The Chennai Pongal box-office has been booming. The two new biggies Ilayathalapathy Vijay`s Jilla and Thala Ajith`s Veeram have been making merry. Both the films have taken gargantuan opening in Chennai city.
The Chennai city limits as per trade is from Inox Mylapore in South Chennai to S2 Cinemas Perambur in North Chennai and includes Udhayam and up to AVM Rajeswari in Vadapalini area, central Chennai screens like Sangam, Abirami and PVR.

Please note S2 Thyagaraja and Mayajaal is in Chengalpet area, as per trade report. But normally Chennai city and Chengalpet collections are passed off as Chennai city collections by the distributor who may be the same for both areas.

The year has started on a bright note for the film trade as both Jilla and Veeram has been declared hits and has taken fabulous opening. The difference in collections between the films is marginal, though Jilla got an advantage as it was screened in the opening week in bigger audis of multiplexes.

Vijay`s Jilla is reported to have grossed an awesome Rs 2.52 Crore in five days (Jan 10- 14), and is in the number one spot on CBO. :smokesmirk::bow: Veeram which had better WOM (word-of-mouth) is marginally behind due to smaller audis, and is in the number two slot. Both these films dominated nearly 85 % of the screens and shows in Chennai city.

In the third place is Mahesh Babu`s 1 Nennokkadine, which opened well in limited shows but fell on the second day. At number four is the romcom Endrendrum Punnagai, which is running very well in multiplexes. Ramcharan`s Yevadu which opened on Sunday took a good opening in limited screens and is at number five.

Fully agree with this post. Hub has become a place where both Vj and Ajith fans are losing their decency over two guys who dont even know they exist. For the past 5 days this place has become a circus filled with roftl smilies and annoying screengrabs.

Very irritating to see grown men fighting like there is no tomorrow. Some guys have lost so much respect i (others to some extent) had on them.

தமிழ்நாட்டில் பல ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பிறகு கடந்த 5 நட்களாக ஹவுஸ்புல் காட்சிகள் போர்டை தொங்க விட்டிருக்கிறார்கள் தியேட்டர் உரிமையாளர்கள். பொங்கலுக்கு நான்கு நாட்கள் முன்னதாகவே அதாவது 10-ஆம் தேதியே அஜித்தின் வீரமும், விஜய்யின் ‘ஜில்லா’வும் ரிலீசாகி விட்டன.இரண்டு படங்களுமே மாஸ் ஹீரோக்களின் படங்கள் என்பதால் ரசிகர்களும் அந்தப் படங்களை உற்சாகமாக வரவேற்றுள்ளனர். இதனால் இரண்டு படங்களையும் வாங்கிய வினியோகஸ்தர்களும், திரையரங்க உரிமையாளர்களும் உச்சகட்ட மகிழ்ச்சியில் இருக்கிறார்கள்.இருந்தாலும் முதல் நாளில் 8 கோடியை நெருங்கிய ஜில்லாவின் வசூல் இரண்டாம் நாளிலிருந்து குறைய ஆரம்பித்திருக்கிறது. தியேட்டர் தரப்பிலிருந்து வரும் தகவல்களும் ‘வீரம்’ படத்தை கம்பேர் செய்யும் போது ‘ஜில்லா’வின் வசூல் குறைவு தான் என்கிறதுஉண்மை நிலவரம் என்ன என்பதை அறிந்து கொள்ள நாம் தமிழ்நாட்டு தியேட்டர் வசூல் குறித்து விவரங்களை விரல் நுனியில் வைத்திருக்கும் ‘தமிழ்நாடு எண்டர்டெயின்மெண்ட்’ மாத இதழின் ஆசிரியரும், திரைப்பட விமர்சகருமான ராமானுஜத்திடம் கேட்டோம்.“‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தை கம்பேர் செய்யும் போது ‘வீரம்’ படத்தின் வசூல் சிறப்பாக உள்ளது என்பது உண்மை தான். அதற்கு பல காரணங்கள் உள்ளது. குறிப்பாக ‘ஜில்லா’வை விட ‘வீரம்’ படத்துக்கு கூடுதல் தியேட்டர்கள் கிடைத்துள்ளது. ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்துக்கு தமிழ்நாட்டில் சுமார் 420 தியேட்டர்கள் தான் கிடைத்தன. ஆனால் ‘வீரம்’ படத்துக்கு சுமார் 472 தியேட்டர்கள் தமிழ்நாட்டில் கிடைத்துள்ளன.இரண்டு படங்களுமே 50 கோடி ரூபாய் பட்ஜெட்டில் எடுக்கப்பட்ட படம் என்று வைத்துக் கொண்டால் அதில் 30 முதல் 35 சதவீத வசூலைத்தான் இரண்டு படங்களும் பெற்றுள்ளன. இதில் தான் ‘ஜில்லா’வை விட ‘வீரம்’ வசூலில் முந்தி விட்டது.அதற்கு ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தின் நீளமும் ஒரு காரணம் தான். ஒரு சாதாரண ரசிகர் 2 மணி நேரம் தியேட்டர்ல உட்கார்ந்து படம் பார்க்கிறதே பெரிய விஷயம். இந்த மாதிரி டைம்ல ஜில்லா படம் 3 மணி நேரம் இருந்தா எப்படி அவன் தியேட்டருக்குள்ள வந்து பார்ப்பான்..?தயாரிப்பாளர் ஆர்.பி.செளத்ரி எப்போதுமே இவ்வளவு நீளம் கொண்ட படத்தை தயாரிச்சது கெடையாது. அவர் அதிகபட்சமா ஆனந்தம் படத்தை ரெண்டே முக்கால் மணி நேரம் எடுத்தார். மீதி அவர் எடுத்த எல்லா படங்களின் நீளமும் ரெண்டேகால் மணி நேரம் தான். அப்படிப்பட்ட தயாரிப்பாளர் ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தை மூணு மணி நேரம் எடுத்தது ஆச்சரியம் தான்.அதுவுமில்லாம ‘ஜில்லா’ படத்தோட வசூல் குறையிறதுக்கு இன்னொரு முக்கியமான காரணம் அந்தப்படம் ரிலீசான முதல்நாளே படம் வேஸ்ட்டுன்னு ரசிகர்கள் மத்தியில மவுத்-டாக் பரவிடுச்சு. அதனாலேயும் அதோட வசூல் குறைஞ்சுப் போச்சு. அதுபோக ‘ஜில்லா’வை விட வீரம் நல்லாருக்குன்னு எல்லோரும் சொல்ல ஆரம்பிச்சதால அந்தப் படத்துக்கு கூட்டம் அதிகரிக்க ஆரம்பிச்சுடுச்சு.
ஏன்னா அந்தப் படத்துல அஜித்துக்கு ஓவர் பில்டப் கொடுக்காம அவருக்கு என்ன வருமோ? அதை மட்டும் படத்துல காட்டியிருந்தார் டைரக்டர் சிவா. அதுதான் அந்தப்படத்தோட பிளஸ்பாயிண்ட். ஆனா ஜில்லாவுல விஜய்க்கு எதெல்லாம் செட் ஆகாதோ அதையெல்லாம் படத்துல காட்டியிருந்தார் டைரக்டர் நேசன். அதுதான் அந்தப்படத்தோட மைனஸ் பாயிண்ட்.ஆனாலும் ஜில்லா படத்துக்கு ஃபேமிலி ஆடியன்ஸ் அதிகமாத்தான் வர்றாங்க. வீரத்துக்கு இன்னும் வர ஆரம்பிக்கல, பசங்க தான் அதிகமா வர்றாங்க. ஃபேமிலி ஆடியன்ஸும் வர ஆம்பிச்சாங்கன்னா ‘வீரம்’ வசூல் இன்னும் அதிகமாக வாய்ப்பிருக்கு” என்றார் ராமானுஜம்.மொத்தத்தில் அஜித் படமா? அல்லது விஜய் படமா? என்ற கேள்வி இல்லாமல் இரண்டு படங்களுமே சரிசமமாக வசூலை வாரிக்குவித்து தமிழ்சினிமாவில் ஆரோக்கியமான போக்கை தொடர வேண்டும் என்பதே நம்முடைய ஆசை.வீரம் – ஜில்லா வசூல் நிலவரம் :1 ஆம் நாள் : ஜில்லா – 5.25 கோடி, வீரம் – 5.5 கோடி2 ஆம் நாள் : ஜில்லா – 5 கோடி , வீரம் – 8 கோடி3 ஆம் நாள் : ஜில்லா – 4.2 கோடி, வீரம் – 7.2 கோடி4 ஆம் நாள் : ஜில்லா – 4 கோடி, வீரம் – 5.1 கோடி5 ஆம் நாள் : ஜில்லா – 3.2 கோடி, வீரம் – 4.1 கோடி

Drishyam is an excellent movie that's raking the moolah still in Kerala & overseas even weeks after it had been released. Lets take into account that also besides his influence and such things... There's no point in arguing much with Drishyam & other 2 movies.

'Bharat' Mohanlal as he's called in Kerala is an actor par-excellence. Mammotty and Mohanlal have ruled/continue to rule the Malayalam film industry and have been around 3 decades now with a huge fan following. Its not surprising at all that he outsmarted both these movies with his Drishyam. That said, Jilla would still have done well w/o Mohanlal but with a slightly lesser margin since Vijay himself has a good following to boast in Kerala.

I believe Vikram has expressed interest in remaking Drishyam in Tamil .. we'll see.

There is one show in Omaha if I google. That will tally easily in Bay Area shows itself for veeram if we consider fremont and San Jose. 7 vs 6 shows.

Do we have show count for the films? That will be an accurate one.

Box Office Collection: 'Jilla', 'Veeram' Beat Surya’s ‘Singam 2’ 1st Week Record

After witnessing a record-breaking opening weekend, Vijay's "Jilla" and Ajith's "Veeram" have registered smashing first week collections.

Both "Jilla" and "Veeram", which were Pongal releases, have performed extremely well in their first week theatrical run at the worldwide box office.

The two films opened to immense acclaim from fans and are now entering their second weekend.

In Tamil Nadu, the box office battle has been practically equivalent but "Jilla" has emerged the box office winner.

The action masala film "Jilla", starring Vijay, Mohanlal and Kajal Aggarwal, in lead roles has accumulated ₹70 crore from the worldwide box office in first week, according to Gizmo Crave.

Veeram leads handsomely, I'm using same Deccan Chronicle link that Vijay fans used before before they call it fake :)


It started off as an enchanting rivalry between two stalwarts of Tamil cinema, giving people in Tamil Nadu another reason to celebrate this festive season. But with both ‘Jilla’ and ‘Veeram’ going neck and neck, die-hard fans are pitting against each other now.

Both the films have banked on action and sentiment with masala elements strewn across the screen-play to woo audience. They have managed to serve a delightful visual treat and rouse the rustic ambience.

The four day long holiday in Tamil Nadu meant Jackpot for the makers as fans thronged theatres splurging money on movies as part of their ‘holiday plans’.

‘Jilla’ was a tad bit ahead of ‘Veeram’ on the opening day. But what is the status now?

Here’s all you need to know.

Jilla:

It has been six days since the film released and the response still seems to be overwhelming. The film’s initial run time 182 minutes (3hrs) was considered to be a downside for the film and was subsequently trimmed by 10 mins from day 2.

‘Jilla’ is said to be ruling the UK Box Office and has collected a whopping 1.54 Cr, which is higher than his earlier hit ‘Thuppaki’. It has also created a record of sorts by making it to the third position in the list of all-time biggest openers in UK, next only to Super Star Rajinikanth's ‘Endhiran’ and ‘Sivaji’.

Budget: Close to 50 Cr

Screened in: over 1150 screens worldwide

(Released in more than 10 countries including India, UK, USA, Australia and Srilanka)

Box-Office Collections: 24.5 Cr

Veeram:

Word-of-the mouth publicity appears to be doing miracles for ‘Veeram’ as the film continues its good run at the box office. Fans of the actor continue to brag about their Thala’s Train Stunt and immaculate performance.

Meanwhile, the film is making waves overseas by becoming the only Tamil film to feature in the Top 20 list at the Australian Box Office this week. The film was released with only seven copies but has made 4.6 Cr already. It is said Ajith enjoys a good fan following there and the numbers seem to say nothing different.

Budget: 40 Cr

Screened in: over 790 screens worldwide

(Released in 13 countries including India, UK, USA, South Africa, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, Australia, Switzerland, Singapore, Canada, Holland and Sri Lanka)

Box Office Collections: 32.5 Cr

Jilla beats Veeram at box-office

At the end of the first week at the box office, the box office collections of both Jilla and Veeram have been released by trade sources. We hear that Jilla has emerged the winner at the end of the first week by grossing Rs. 44 crores. And Veeram has managed to gross Rs. 40 crores.

Jilla, starring Vijay and Mohanlal and Veeram starring Ajith, took a grand opening and are running to packed houses. The theatre occupancy of both these films are satisfactory and they have been declared a big hit already. Both the films are on their way to set new box-office records.

Source from The Hindu:


The New Year has been ushered in with the release of four films starring superstars in Tamil and Telugu to the delight of delirious fans. This is not the first time Ajith and Vijay films have been released on the same day. It was a casting coup for ‘Jilla’. Vijay is extremely popular in Kerala where his films do nearly as well as in Tamil Nadu. Casting Mohanlal alongside, to play a powerful character only adds to the frenzy. The irony in our films is that justice and punishment for any crime is swift unless the perpetrator is played by the hero. Here Vijay plays a ruthless criminal in the first half and a conscientious cop in the second. As someone who hates anyone wearing khaki, even the hapless heroine who plays a cop Vijay, pre-interval is the cold blooded underling. The transformation, as usual is unbelievable. The twists in the tale are banal and utterly predictable. The pressure of dealing with two superstars bears down on debutante director Neason. In his eagerness to please he pumps in every kind of sentiment he can think of be it father, mother, sister or brother. This tiresome enterprise chugs on for more than three hours.

While Vijay is as good as ever its Mohanlal who adds something special to a role that definitely did not deserve his talent. Now only the fans of a star can never make a film a hit. They help initially by thronging the theaters. A lengthy run at the box-office is possible only when others watch it which will depend entirely on the word of mouth. The logic is that if only the fans are responsible for a film’s success then ‘Thalaiva’ should have been as big a hit as ‘Thuppaki’. Sources in the trade have declared ‘Veeram’ a bigger hit than ‘Jilla’. The latter is not a flop but the former is a bigger hit! Acknowledgement of defeat is when the running time is trimmed. Ten minutes of ‘Jilla’ have been sacrificed. ‘Thala’ (Ajit) has won this round of his box-office battle with ‘Ilayathalapathi’(Vijay). This also does not mean that Ajit is a bigger star or ‘Veeram’ is a much better film but like a long time industry watcher said, family sentiments have always had an edge over mindless mayhem. When fans get tired it’s the ever dependable family viewers who help a film.

Subsequent weeks will tell us if this analysis is correct or not ... but even if proved right, doesnt mean one is better than the other when it comes to boxoffice performance as is stated.

Fully agree with the article. Articulates my thoughts as well. The thing is they need to redefine themselves as was done by Rajini that was completely radical in thinking compared to MGR. At this rate, they'll only be inspired or imitation superstars rather than original which will be Rajini forever ...

[paranitharan]

Lol that was a bad article, not surprising coming from sudhith. I am not going to say anything about Vijay but Ajith is different. Rajini is different from MGR and Ajith is different from both. Ajith's films are mostly action films with less romance and comedy. They lack drama and emotional quotient. Rajini usually plays auto guy, paal kaaran etc. His characters usually revolve around families and the films are mostly action family drama. What Ajith does is different. He just plays action roles devoid of sentiment, drama romance and comedy. He plays lot of characters with grey shades. He doesn't do slapstick comedy or run around girls. Ajith wants to remain mass hero but he is different in his approach. MGR wanted be a mass hero and he was. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he was in his own way and Ajith wants to be one and he is in his own way. Rajini never played full fledged negative characters since he became a superstar(?). Ajith did. Actually there is more similaries between MGR and Rajini than Rajini and Ajith. The former two mostly played paasakkaara annan frend etc types of roles and potrayed them as do gooders in almost all their movies once they reached superstardom but you can't really say the same about Ajith. Villan and Veeram belong to that category but Varallaru, Billa, Aarambam and Mankatha are not like any films Rajini would do in 90s.

Another thing I disagree with sudhidh is that he writes people wanted Rajini to be a mass hero. It's like people chose him to play these larger than life roles but which is not true. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he acted in movies that would take him to where he wanted to be.

[selvakumar]

Its all about the time frame all the actors lived, in MGR days the actions which were called SIN were acceptable and style during Rajini times(Smokin, drinking), Sameway anti heroism was not quite famous or acceptable during Rajini's days. Reach to hollywood during Rajini days were less, so any larger than life character when done by Rajini are accepted, right now we are in a global trend, Youths today started accepting JOKER from Dark knight as Hero more than the actual hero of the movie, the BATMAN. so is the reason why Ajith evolved to be accepted BIG hero even with Negative heroism, and ALERT to Ajith is that people already are drawing away from negative heroism too, i felt some(Ajith fans) expressed he should come out of it.

Holding Iron box against baby's face might be heroism for the fans, for a mom who recently had baby is emotionally not right thing to see.. Not sure about the article author, but his point is Valid Rajini created his factor, same way Vijay Ajith also should have their own factor, but both Ajith and vijay should change the view of heroism right now as they both needs a little alteration in their path.

[selvakumar]

Never knew batman was released before Vaali and Varalaaru :)

[paranitharan]

Never knew batman was released before Vaali and Varalaaru :)

Haha lol. Adding to that the joker comparision with tamil audience. I don't think he grabbed the point in the article. Ajith is just doing fine and different from Rajini. Negative characters, a character with femine touch and played father roles in Varalaaru and Asal etc. also played a role of a loser in Kireedom. He also acts in full grey get ups. Ajith is not the one who needs change. I wish he does more films like Veeram that cater to all sections of audience similar to the movies Rajini acted in in 90s instead of doing out an out action films.

Another thing I disagree with sudhidh is that he writes people wanted Rajini to be a mass hero. It's like people chose him to play these larger than life roles but which is not true. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he acted in movies that would take him to where he wanted to be.

I hope you can recall Rajini's range - between 70's and early 80's - all mostly villain roles (name it murderer/rapist/sadist/). Redefined villain roles with his own original style in comparison to his predecessors like PSV or Nambiar who were top villains in their own right. His brand, and he started attracting fans right then ... There were people who admired him more than the hero (eg. Kamal) and fan rivalry started right around that time.

Character roles like mullum-malarum, 6to60 - top class.

Comedy came naturally to him as well - Netrikan and ThilluMullu to name a few that are spoken about even to date. FYI - Ajit remade Billa from Rajini's Billa(which was remade from Hindi Don, Amithab). Rajini did that one way back in 1980. All this when he was almost at the top.

Where is the similarity with MGR, sir ?

Its only mid-late 80's he started doing larger than life roles mainly seeing the audience and fan responses. Kamal and Rajini were close 1 and 2 and soon Rajini edged him out to take the top slot. Even here, similarities with MGR were only in the playing the nice guy part.

Coming to Ajith - Ajith had a long history of doing romantic roles right from his first movie aasai and was soon crowned kadhal mannan with plenty or romance and chasing girls dose. It was only later, fairly recently he started doing roles with negative shades, which is fine.

>Rajini never played full fledged negative characters since he became a superstar(?).

Agree mostly here but he can do it in a heart beat and turn the movie into a top grosser eg. the negative role in Endiran.

Ajith hardly has Rajini's range in villain, comedy, character roles etc. You're only looking at his do-gooder roles at his height of stardom.

[selvakumar]

Fairly recently? It has been more than a decade since Vaali released. And the article also touched only ajith roles in few films but not all his roles.

[selvamohankumar]

Never knew batman was released before Vaali and Varalaaru :)

Ajith wasnt known much as big hero by this time? Varalaaru was an revenge story more than a negative heroism to me. Full fledged negtive heroism was seen in vaali accepted, but Ajith was no were accepted as big hero by then.

Well the point was not just about negative roles but about different movies which ajith had given with diverse roles. The same Sudhish K mentioned once that ajith is not in the Rajini league.

[selvakumar]

And Parani view is that Rajini also stopped doing those roles after becoming a star. If we ignore varalaaru enthiran too won't come as negative role

I don't know what you are trying to convey with your post. I am not sure if you diagree with me or not. maybe I am wrong but I think you missed the gist of the article. What the article implied was Ajith is similar to Rajini in the way he is trying to be a mass star and he needs to reinvent himself. I was arguing against it. MGR Rajini and Ajith are all mass stars but they are all different. Rajini served variety in his early days but we ain't talking about that. Ajith did a lot of love stories , drama based movies but they are irrelevant. My point is MGR, Rajini and Ajith are totally different but they are all mass heroes. Rajini wanted to be MGR of his time but his style was not similar to MGR's. Ajith wants to be the Rajini of his time and he didn't inherit Rajini's style. Ajith reached stardom mostly playing negative characters and sustaining his stardom doing the same. Rajini acted mostly in do-gooders roles to sustain his stardom in the way MGR did but you can't say the same about Ajith. Their goal is the same but they have taken quite different routes to reach where they want to be. So I don't see how Ajith is similar to Rajini.

[paranitharan]

Ajith wasnt known much as big hero by this time? Varalaaru was an revenge story more than a negative heroism to me. Full fledged negtive heroism was seen in vaali accepted, but Ajith was no were accepted as big hero by then.

Sorry to say this but please read the article.

I don't understand how your reference to joker character diagrees with my point.

[leosimha]

I would like to say one point with reference to the Sudhish Kamat article. :)

This article is not about Rajini but about Ajith and Vijay. Just like how the article talks about Ajith and Vijay mimicking, copying, impersonating style and mannerisms of Rajini and the way the same movie stories as Rajini is being put in the article, the same way Sudhish Kamat and other similar journo writer critics can't write a self-styled article without bringing in references to MGR, Sivaji, Rajini and Kamal. :)

And my personal opinion about this article is that the critic Sudhish Kamat has more openly directed it at Ajith rather than the other person. :)

And one more point to be noted is that Rajini was more criticized than Kamal in the 70-80s era just like how Ajith is being criticized. :)

The more the person is being the criticized....the BETTER cause it shows the popularity of the person among the MASSES. :)

Freedom,

I watched Jilla today with my entire family at Chandra Mall - INOX to a near-capacity crowd. It was atleast 95 percent full. The response to Vijay's first-half light moments, Transformation into a full police, second half Operation-Clean scenes, 500 Crore Scene where he walks into Mohanlal with casual ease, all were received really well. Less whistles, but more screams, largely due to a big female percentage.

If you follow the bookings in the last few days, Veeram is clearly establishing a lead, but contrary to all reviews and projections, Jilla is still doing well and family audiences are also lapping Jilla, which many predicted may not survive beyond the 'fan' zone.

[Adox]

I don't know what you are trying to convey with your post. I am not sure if you diagree with me or not. maybe I am wrong but I think you missed the gist of the article. What the article implied was Ajith is similar to Rajini in the way he is trying to be a mass star and he needs to reinvent himself. I was arguing against it. MGR Rajini and Ajith are all mass stars but they are all different. Rajini served variety in his early days but we ain't talking about that.

Their goal is the same but they have taken quite different routes to reach where they want to be. So I don't see how Ajith is similar to Rajini.

Maybe I misunderstood .. didn't you mention somewhere that Rajini was more similar to MGR than Ajith. Anyways, the bottom line - both Ajith and Vijay have a big fan following regardless of how they got there. The author's view was both are guilty of borrowing pages from Rajini's book instead of evolving their own.

To quote: "Even the titles of the films were, give or take an alphabet, similar to hit Rajini films (Billa and Veera). If Jilla teased us with Thalapathy with a twist — What if Surya (Rajini) took on Deva (Mammootty) at halfway point and gave us a Mr. Bharath sort of father-son-turn-enemies family conflict dynamic? In Jilla, if Sakti (Vijay) takes on Sivan (Mohanlal) as homage to Thalapathy, Veeram recycles Rajni hit Murattu Kalai with scenes inspired from Annamalai and Baasha with more than one punchline giving you a sense of deja vu ... But otherwise, Vijay’s sense of dialogue delivery in Jilla is just as playful as Rajini’s and Ajith’s look, especially in the second half of Veeram, is just the same as Superstar’s in Annamalai, Veera, Muthu or Padaiyappa — white shirt, white dhothi, clean shaven but for a moustache and sacred ash on his forehead."

I haven't seen Veeram yet but had a different view of the whole thing. Point I was trying to get at is how Rajini carved a brand name for himself all through sometimes even w/o being the hero of a movie during his earlier days. I was looking at both of them in totality, the whole resume, and not just the later times when Rajini took up those larger than life roles. I brought up his earlier roles to highlight that he reinvented himself all the way in diverse roles. He was already a top star during that time in the early 80's with Kamal. Nothing to belittle Ajith; He did well in Aarambam but just felt he could go a little further and carve a niche for himself.

[VinodKumar's]

Freedom, Social media la 75 % fake thaan. These days both Vijay and Ajith fans have created websites,FB pages and twitter handles like neutral one and support their star indirectly. This is the trend now. Luckily I chose not to be active in twitter at very beginning.

Lol that was a bad article, not surprising coming from sudhith. I am not going to say anything about Vijay but Ajith is different. Rajini is different from MGR and Ajith is different from both. Ajith's films are mostly action films with less romance and comedy. They lack drama and emotional quotient. Rajini usually plays auto guy, paal kaaran etc. His characters usually revolve around families and the films are mostly action family drama. What Ajith does is different. He just plays action roles devoid of sentiment, drama romance and comedy. He plays lot of characters with grey shades. He doesn't do slapstick comedy or run around girls. Ajith wants to remain mass hero but he is different in his approach. MGR wanted be a mass hero and he was. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he was in his own way and Ajith wants to be one and he is in his own way. Rajini never played full fledged negative characters since he became a superstar(?). Ajith did. Actually there is more similaries between MGR and Rajini than Rajini and Ajith. The former two mostly played paasakkaara annan frend etc types of roles and potrayed them as do gooders in almost all their movies once they reached superstardom but you can't really say the same about Ajith. Villan and Veeram belong to that category but Varallaru, Billa, Aarambam and Mankatha are not like any films Rajini would do in 90s.

Another thing I disagree with sudhidh is that he writes people wanted Rajini to be a mass hero. It's like people chose him to play these larger than life roles but which is not true. Rajini wanted to be a mass hero and he acted in movies that would take him to where he wanted to be.

Important announcement regarding Behindwoods' weekly Chennai Box-Office Reports

We wish to announce to our readers and the film industry that starting with 2014's releases, Jilla and Veeram, Behindwoods's weekly Chennai Box Office reports would be restricted only to the theaters falling under the 'Chennai City' trade area.

Prior to this, some of the important theaters in the Chengalpet trade area, which are frequented by Chennai city's inhabitants, were also considered by us in our weekly reports. This caused confusion in the trade fraternity about our box-office figures when compared with the actual 'Chennai City' box-office figures. To avoid this in future, we will be focusing only on theaters in Chennai City's trade limit, henceforth.

Theaters which fall under the Chennai City trade limits are - Udhayam complex, Kamala complex, PVR Multiplex, Inox Multiplex Mylapore, Escape Cinemas, Sathyam Cinemas, Devi Cineplex, Shanti complex, Anna, Pilot, Woodlands complex, Casino, Albert complex, Abirami Mega Mall, Motcham complex, Sangam Cinemas, Ega Cinemas, Bharath, Maharani, Agasthya, IDream, AVM Rajeswari, Sri Brindha, Ganapathyram

We would also like to request our readers to avoid comparing collection figures of movies in our new box-office reports with our reports from the past as the basis for such comparisons wouldn't be valid.
