Ajith-Vishnu-Arya-Yuvan-Nayan "ARRAMBAM"

[sakthii]

HonestRaj anna.. thanks for your honest comments.. sure its wish of many that Ajith has to do film for all audience.. and he is capable, directors should use him well..
can be lil strict to check on his fitness.. hope GVM pulls his best..

[kubrick]

okay.. i'll post something very frankly.. yesterday watching few scenes from SINGAM-II... if Ajith does something like this.. it would be a real mass.. u can see a firepower performance.. instead of slo-motion walks & the repeated cooling glass adjustments...
with all these stylish films.. i think, he is moving out of common neutral audience & family audience... only the fans backing him as usual..

i've reduced my visits to theater.. last one is for Viswaroopam... only for Ajith & the hype i saw on 31st evening at Bangalore (easily u can get ticket because almost everyone will be travelling to TN for diwali).. as expected easily i got the ticket...

so, i'm in for an outright Ajith show.. & what does Vishnu is offering to me.. after introducing Ajith's character, he is bringing in almost 20 min flashback for Arya which includes a song.. hey.. who wants to see this fellow.. he is there in every tv channel.. i'm not interested & what happened to Ajith...
& not so interesting scenes follow along with Arya's unfunny lines (these would have been santhanam's lines in other film).. & in 2nd half, neenga yaru - avaru yaru theriyuma cliche & for most of 2nd half is not engaging.. just like that he comes in different styles (the same thing that u all loved as mass therikkum single stills) & shoots enemies & suddenly he drives a bike just to remind us Thala is a racer (during 80's ilaiya thilagam prabhu rides horse to show that he is trained in that)... & LOL climax of 70's.. exchange of people.. Arya calls him as chief, because if he says thala it might project as a local film... & Ajith says lengthy dialogue about scam, system (adhanga oozhal, lanjam, arasangam.. ahn) & his latest catch word fkng finds a space in those dialogues...

after seeing Aarambam, i thought high about Venkat prabhu for Mankatha.. if not for Premji & solo songs for mokkai boys.. it would have been a top notch film for Ajith.. GVM is another clever director, let me see what he pulls off with Ajith.. already he might be irritated by recent statement of an actor..

A note to Ajith's directors: consider making a movie for us also & not just for Ajith's fans.. so that film would have a extended run & not just a king of opening start

& Ajith, come out of this multi starrers.. u can do it on your own... & since you are avoiding duets.. let the film be without songs... it doesn't add any value

Completely agree. Watching Arya in an Ajith film for so long was tiring.

With no songs, as a single protagonist if Ajith acts in a film like Aaranya Kaandam, Mass vera level le irukkum. Thyagarajan Kumararaja was supposed to do his next with Ajith. Nadandhurundha Mass therichirukkum! IMO

Arrambam (Tamil : 2013 : 2h35m)
Written & Directed by Vishnuvardhan
Music : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Cinematography : Om Prakash
Editing : Sreekar Prasad

Banner : Sri Satya Sai Movies

Starring : Ajith Kumar, Arya, Nayantara, Taapsee, Kishore, Rana & others

Series of bomblasts in Mumbai takes the investigating police officer Prakash to the doors of the state home minister, but using his power of words, the home minister instructs him to find who is behind the blasts rather than beating around the bush. In the meantime, a computer hacker Arjun is kidnapped and tricked to work for Ashok Kumar aka AK. Its just minutes that Arjun finds out that AK is behind the blasts but is helpless to go against him for more than one loveable reasons. AK makes Arjun bring down the satellite channels and further more brutally kills a pawn to retrieve a hard disk full of financial informations of leading political & business personalities in the country. Again, Arjun is forced to crack these accounts, but Arjun quite cleverly contacts Prakash with clues of his whereabouts resulting in the arrest of AK. Maya, one of AK's associates, reveals the motives of AK, which tosses the moral of Arjun. Arjun teams up with Maya to plot and escape AK from the police custody. He then marches hand in hand with AK to accomplish what he had started. In the meantime Prakash still got enough evidences to go behind these culprits. What’s the reason behind AK's terrifying acts, who are these band of new born saints, will Prakash bring them to justice & finally what’s the fate of all these people unknowingly crossing paths forms the end of Arrambham.

Ajith has become one of the rare Brands that sells however it is served. Arrambham is yet another film where the magnetic charm and charisma of Ajith helps the film maker Vishnuvaradhan cross half the sea effortlessly. The rest half, Vishnu had managed to do without much push with his skilful narration and excellent cinematography. He has punctually added several interesting patches in his narration which tends to shout louder than the sage old story. They were well executed until the end, where the whole triangular hostage situation was crisply narrated. He has left many indicators like the interval block, bank scene, arrest scene, the dilemma climax etc., which will make the movie memorable. Basically he had a brick load of such scenes with which he had constructed an entertaining tower - Arrambam.

Again Ajith - He has made the character AK quite believable. Whether its a terrorist or a friend or deceived commoner or cheated official - he just excels in which ever uniform his character wears. The giant-ness of each and every scene could be felt merely by this presence. His commanding voice highlights who is the chief of the situation. And of coarse you got the stunts performed by him - they are pure joy to experience on the big screen.

Other casts - Nayan walks around as the Cinderella with a wooden face. Her gun slinging is quite professional and glad to see a dame in TFI who does not hesitate drop a man with her weapon. Her attitude has risen much more while handling fire arms. Tapsee played the silliness of her character naturally, she does give variations esp. during the "I Love You" phone conversation. Her character was the only positive energy in the film, while the rest were dying to take revenge. Arya should thank Vishnu for crafting a character which cannot be tampered with even though Arya is hell bend to do so. I liked him in the Tamilachi song sequence. And of coarse I side him merely for all his "comic-title" T-shirt. He goes to Dubai with a "white & black" superman t-shirt ... LoL, and he has a head of Spiderman on his laptop. Kishore, one of the well suited Police Officer of TFI. Would have loved to see a tussle between him and Ajith, maybe in some other movie. All the villains did their parts as seen in various other Tamil movies - you know there is a detailed written dictionary about how terrorist should de crafted in TFI and all film makers follow it by line.

U1 had done a tremendous job. I could see a major disappointment towards the BGM. All I can come up with is that, its not the usual sounds that we used to hear as a BGM. Mostly strings were used and for the action sequences, esp. the hostage rescue, it was so dense. I felt that for all the gun fights U1 had kept it quite sharp and short. You got to have played Max Payne 3 game to completely understand what I am talking about. Just like in the game, the tension is softly mounted through abstract sounds that puts you in the middle of the action sequence. Another one is during the end credits - I do not know how many of you stayed, you could have got a chance to listen to a different piece. The movie does not give scope for a half minute long theme music. The scenes were short with many cuts & camera focus shifts constantly. So you got that dubstep remix music whenever Ajith goes into slo-mo. After Kattu Kuil song from Thalapathy, Melala Vedikudhu song has become my favorite video song. Just the opening is pure class visually. Tamilachi song was a treat to watch, esp. the camera work and its angle. But the "no-connection-what-so-ever" Arrambamey song dilutes the exploding aspect. But still a good song where he says "Naam Aasapatta Athukkaga Vaazhanamda".

Now comes the prickly part - No character has any depth or emotional quotient. For ex : Niether Arjun nor Anita realise the gravity of the situation, rather they just behave as though they are being ragged by their college seniors. As usual, many characters come and go (ex. Prakash), whenever they want. Simply put the whole character drama is missing. The movie lags continuity (that’s lodged as an complaint in Editing - no, the editor just assembles the sequences from the raw footage as numbered by the film maker). For ex : when the flash back jumps to reality, for a whole minute no one had a clue what was Kishore doing in Ajith's flash back, but later they educate themselves that the flash back is over. One thing I never was able to decipher is Ajith not hesitating to blast the Police men when his motive is actually fighting to bring justice for them. Then there is a similar "Keffiyeh" claded Ajith/Arya sequence. Loop holes, well, there’s more than one and if you had come up with something, there’s no suprise as we’ve seen elements like that before in TFI. And then comes the dialogues - oh my! lets rest here.

Arrambham : Cracker Entertainer

[mappi]

Arya calls him as chief, because if he says thala it might project as a local film...

That's one way of assuming, another one being how Thalaivar became Boss and Anna became Bro ... LoL

[mappi]

Thyagarajan Kumararaja was supposed to do his next with Ajith. Nadandhurundha Mass therichirukkum! IMO

If this happens, I will virtually honor you with a shawl.

[Mahen]

Agreed. I'm not a fan of this multi-starrers when it comes to big mass heroes. This multi-staring is for 2-nd level actors like Jiva, Arya, Vishal, Karthi, Prassana, Srikanth, etc. No matter who is going to co-star with Ajith, if it's Ajith movie, People obviously will go to see Ajith. Besides this, multi-starrers is north indian culture....namakethuku ithu?
Says who? i support multistarrers if the script requires many stars..

[nickraman]

I really want to applaud Ajith for avoiding duet or heroine lou portions. *claps* . And he should avoid doing multi-starrers.

Coming to the movie, it's a one-time watch. Ajith is trimmer in that blueshirt flashback portion than the rest of the film (he's gained muscle somewhat, but konjam thoppa theriyudu. Some neutrals were unhappy with his salt-pepper look claiming he's aging.) I think Suba recycled their "poor-quality product" subplot from their poorly-received "Maatraan" and revised to fit the Khakre-26/11 sentiments. Aarya for once looked expressive (had good dialogs) and other characters were good. Must be in minority to like the second-half

Some things I didn't like was that irritating "stylish tamilachi song." Also, that cooling-glass kalti-fying/slow-motion walking sequence was not needed. Anyday, I feel Mankatha was superior character wise but had the irritating rasigan group (in form of Premji, Vaibhav, etc.)

Improvement from Sarvam, but terror isn't near Mankatha. Like to see directors use Ajith and cater to neutrals besides pleasing fans.

[shankarbharath]

Positives:

1. Good action
2. Slick and stylish feel
3. 3-4 one liners were nice punches
4. No love angle for Ajith - gave the viewers the impression that he was serious about his stuff, with no distractions.
5. Songs were good, and the BGM was adequate.

Negatives

1. Ajith could have been used better. He was almost a dummy in the first half and his scenes pick up only in the second half.
2. Completely unnecessary love flashback for Arya.
3. Climax - lacked the punch. Too many slow motion sequences made it look slow.

Overall it was above average - I still liked it, but it certainly could have been better.

My rating 6.2/10

[cm123]

Saw the film yesterday with full crowd ( 4th day in Singapore which means the film is superhit already).


The film good and entertaining.

But as highlighted by some others, Ajith has to come out of this and do a film with more emotions, dialogues and comedy too.

[yellow]

I have watched Thala arrambam 3 times in three different theaters in Banaglore..

Pluses: Ajith ,Ajith,Ajith  ..Story, Arya ,Nayan acting ,super dialogs ,Arya-ajith fight,all actions , First mass song , Ajith look when police arrest him ,Rana & climax.

Minuses: Ajith uses iron box in front of child face to threat villan ,he could have given one kiss to the child after that scene , climax ajith look not fresh,he looks very tired, Rana & ajith saving childrens inthe school.

On the whole is movie is satisfying with natural & Ajithfans.If it is not blockbuster movie ,then which would be ……..Kudos to the Vishnu Vardhan Director (Billa ,Arrambam), Now he joins to KS Ravikumar league,Thalas fans favorite directors  .(Varalaru,villan ).

DO NOT TOUCH THALA
When Ajith turns around and glares at the police officer who holds his arm when they come to arrest him, there was a loud roar in the theater. It was as though the police officer lets go off Ajith’s arm frightened by the response from the audience.

Well, what’s more fun than watching an early morning show of an Ajith movie with celebrities like Simbu, Director Rajesh, Soori, Ashwin Kakamanu , K.E Gnanavelraja and hundreds of other Thala fans.

Arrambam, an apt title for a movie that has lit up the festival of lights with a thunderous blast, has sparked the enthusiasms of the hard core Ajith fans who have been screaming out the actor’s name with pride, ever since the movie released.

When we asked Vishnuvardhan the top three things to look out for in the movie, the director simply replied saying Ajith, Ajith and Ajith. I initially thought it was a smart answer, but after watching the movie I realized that it was the fact. Well, you’ve got to give credit to the others too, who have delivered their best, right from start to finish.

A - August Ajith

With the kind of fan following Ajith has been gaining over the years, the name Ajith is slowly turning out to be an adjective that would share synonyms with different words like August and Classy. Right from his introduction to the climax, the actor is stylish and flamboyant in every frame and his very presence is a thrilling experience for his fans.

R - Radiant Arya

Vishnuvardhan’s second trump card, Arya is youthful and cheerful as ever. Arya’s appearance in the flashback portions is a highlight that can be looked out for and I am sure the hacker has managed to sneak into the server rooms of his sincere followers.

R - Ravishing Nayanthara

Now what do I say about this dazzling lady? The actress has transformed herself from an emotional wife that she played in Raja Rani to a captivating bombshell who looks bold, beautiful and blazing. Nayanthara appears to be fitting into any role that is offered to her and has indeed carved a name for herself on the sophisticated walls of the glam world.

A - Adorable Taapsee

If you would ask me what Taapsee’s best movie is, I would say Arrambam without leaving the thinnest of gaps between the question and the answer. She is sweet throughout the movie and her acting was extremely natural. In a movie that is strictly dominated by action, Taapsee plays the role of a cute comedian who does not fail in any part of the movie except in the three academic papers back in college.

M - Mellow Vishnuvardhan

We are all aware of the immensity in the action packed sequences that feature in the movie and the solidity in the star cast. Driving such a huge team and canning portions of the film as scheduled is a big responsibility and director Vishnuvardhan has been cool headed enough to steer his ship through rough tides.

B - Brainy Om Prakash

You know, our eyes and heart are connected to each other by a secret passage. When our eyes get to capture some brilliant visuals, it directly reaches the heart. Cinematographer Om Prakash has done just that. His sense of framing and the greenish tone that he has maintained throughout the movie forces you to open the doors of the secret passage.

A - Awe inspiring Lee Whittaker, Jagan and Kecha

Another stand out element in the movie is the tremendously choreographed stunt sequences and the full credit goes to the stunt masters whose hard work is clearly visible on screen.

M - Muscular Rana

Although he comes only for about 20 minutes in the film, Rana’s beefed up appearance fills the screen up with awe and he does well enough to make eyeballs shift to his side.

The movie was no doubt a thrilling experience and the fans were indeed happy when they walked out of the theaters. However, when I walked of the theater, there were a few questions that kept swirling around my head. I am not sure if I had overlooked the movie flow that sponged up these questions, but the confusion kept ringing within me.

1. Ajith was shot and kicked off a cliff. How did he reappear from there?

2. Arya and Nayanthara are normal people. How do they learn to shoot with so much accuracy?

3. Where does Ajith get all these guns from?

4. Ajith is a wanted criminal. How did he manage to fly to Dubai without being noticed at the airport?

5. Ajith unlocks his handcuff before the epic van to car jump scene. Where did he get the key from?

I asked these questions to myself a few times and I realized the answer to them lies in the movie itself.

KEEP IT SIMPLE.

No questions asked. Just go watch and enjoy the film.

Can't agree with you more sir except of Multi-starrer..I still feel Multi starrer will help TFI in terms of collections but scripting need to be tight which is not done that well in Arrambam.

As a fan we enjoyed Arrambam a lot but we all still feel that Ajith should come out to this stylish movie making atleast once in every 2 films and also salt & pepper looks need to be there only when script demands like in Mankatha he was shown like becoz he was desperate of money and not giving damn about anything till he loots money but after looting money and climax in thailand was with black.But here in Arrambam they shown him in salt & pepper look evern in flashback portions.

Hope he comes out of the set of directors that he is working with and try out with others who are good in family drama too

[ajaybaskar]

With no songs, as a single protagonist if Ajith acts in a film like Aaranya Kaandam, Mass vera level le irukkum. Thyagarajan Kumararaja was supposed to do his next with Ajith. Nadandhurundha Mass therichirukkum! IMO

I felt the Pasupathy character in AK was tailor made for Ajith.

hi..i watched arrambam on sunday with my family. theatre was house full. 85% were boys.

to be honest i'm bit disappointed. in the first half, arya's flashback...i thought what the heck...we came to see ajith..why are we watching arya... :banghead: i din't see much of ajith at the start of the movie.. :angry:

and i don't know why some guys didn't like ajith +nayan duet songs or love scenes. i love some kind of romantic connection between them rather just boring friendship....may be they could have added just 1 song for them...
i don't know why they cut 'hey rama' song.. :angry:

and the scenes went very fast...if i have not read those reviews , i would not have been able to understand the movie...

my mum didn't understand the movie at all. she is an old lady...after the movie she asked me ajith is acting as villain or hero... o my god.. : banghead: ..i think we have to watch it again to understand it fully...

right from start to finish, fights and bombs....

and in some scenes ajith looked fat and old for his age....disappointing. in some scenes he looked very cool. loved it :cool:

i loved his fights, driving, boats and other stuff...arya and tapsree portions are great... but i wanted to see ajith and nayan scenes more... :sad:

IMO mankatha seems way better.in mangatha he looked so good.. even in billa 2 i loved him..but here i am not happy...but i want to watch arrambam again..

it was a stylish,very fast movie with good story and fights. tapsree was good...

[leosimha]

there is no doubt that the family audiences are loving the movie but I see lot of girls and ladies drooling over the Ajith's stylish appeal in the movie MASS and CLASS apart. :)

Ulaganayagan Praises 'Arrambam'

It is not just the common audience, but also the seasoned actors are in awe with Ajith's Diwali release, 'Arrambam'. The latest to shower in his appreciation is Padmashree Kamal Haasan! We hear that Ulaganayagan has bought time from his busy schedule to head to a multiplex in Bangalore to watch the film, and he has come to praise the 'Arrambam' team with choice appreciation.

The film is garnering incredible response from audience of all interests, for a complete action packed entertainer. A trusted source reveals that Kamal adored the film and congratulated the entire 'Arrambam' team for their workmanship. Ajith, choosing to do a character based role in the film, has encouraged ample and justified screen space for the other lead actors - Arya, Nayanthara and Taapsee. Further, Thala himself was all praise for Arya's acting in the film. Directed by Vishnuvardhan, 'Arrambam' was released worldwide on 31st October and is successfully running in packed houses.

my cousin's review
The movie was pretty interesting overall. I mean in the beginning half i was convinced Ak was a evil terrorist and didn't even enjoy it. My favourite part when they revealed the true story everything sort of came together and i understood what was going on. The fighting was pretty cool but a little too overdramatized
The news reporter didn't seem to have a clue what was going on throughout the whole movie and was seemed really childish.
I loved the main actress she was an amazing actor.
His character was switched from a villain to a hero when the truth was revealed and the movie was easier to watch.
This isn’t ajith’s bests he could have done a lot better.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Seen the movie, watchable "Once" , I still liked Mankatha the most amongst latest Ajith releases. story wise it had "Elements" of Shivaji the boss and Mumbai terror attack back in 2009. Ajith looks stylish with beard, but without it , his age shows up. Nayanthara has already become an Aunty :shock:. Arya's Flash back was so irritating and slowed the movie down. why do they always wear sunglasses even in dark and inside buildings??? Taapsee Pannu is good, she acted well, as for Arya, when is he ever going to act ????

The item girl (what ever her name) was good :lol2: :yessir:

[abhi_d]

Finally watched Arrambam. I liked the movie. It was completely Ajith's show. His screen presence alone keeps you engaged throughout the film.

++ Ajith
+ Stunts
+ Cinematagraphy

-- Arya's flashback
- Villain. Comic dialogues dilutes the power of the character.

As others mentioned its good if Ajith avoids doing multi starrer roles unless it adds value to the script. For example Arjun's role in Mankatha was boon to the script. Arya's flashback and song were borefest.

Ajith definitely needs to be appreciated for agreeing to provide considerable screen time to Arya. I dont think anyone will be dare enough to do that.

Also unless the script demands he could switch back to Billa 2 look. This would provide him with an opportunity to try out different roles.

Arrambam - Ajith's show all the way.

Mission to “mass”

BARADWAJ RANGAN

http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/dynamic/01641/05MP_ARRAMBAM_02_J_1641575e.jpgArrambam


Arrambam is a feet-hands-face movie — the kind of hero-centric film made for fans (and you know you’re one if you scream angrily at the screen when a character mocks or insults your idol) who like being teased with their hero’s slow reveal: feet first, then hands, and, finally, to ear-splitting screams and whistles, the face. A lot of filmmakers, when recruited for a feet-hands-face movie, take the easy way out, resorting to fan-appeasing clichés — six songs, five fights, punch lines, the works. Some, like Shankar with his Rajinikanth films, strive for a sensibility midway between that of the rabid fans (who always come first) and those who aren’t especially fans and have showed up just to be entertained.

In Arrambam, Vishnuvardhan manages a reasonable balance. Fans are likely to be delighted with a narrative that pumps up their hero’s strengths (coolness; good comebacks, including a terrific punch line about fingerprints) and downplays his failings (dramatics). And others are likely to come away without feelingtoo insulted.

For a while, the goings are fairly generic — and in the case of a comedic subplot involving Arjun (Arya) and Anita (Taapsee), downright excruciating. While it’s a relief to be spared of a wisecracking comedian who’s constantly making quips over the hero’s shoulder, Arjun and Anita, after the fiftieth instance of calling each other “baby,” make you wish that one of the numerous firearms in the film had been pointed in their direction.

But once Ashok (Ajith) enlists the services of Arjun, who’s a genius-level hacker, to commit a series of crimes, the film takes off. Ashok’s motives keep us guessing. It’s great to see a big star not worry about his “image” and agree to do scenes like the one where he threatens someone by holding a steam iron over the latter’s infant — and we wonder if he could really be that much of a badass.

Even the heroine (Maya, played by Nayantara) does things you don’t really expect in a feet-hands-face movie. At one point, she shows up in a wet, white shirt thrown over a hot-pink bikini top and micro-mini shorts — none of which would be remarkable if it were a dream scene, a song with the hero, for his eyes only, but here, she attempts to seduce someone else. It’s refreshing to see a non-virginal heroine, even if the part isn’t as well-etched as you’d like it to be.

There’s a sense of Hollywoodian scale in the action sequences (the explosions look cheap and fake, though), and a shootout in a cramped flat is especially well choreographed. And even within the confines of a film where the hero can never be conquered, Arrambam manages, at times, to make Ashok look vulnerable. Arjun manages to outwit Ashok’s hoods, and the cops, too, prove that they aren’t always one step behind.

But once the story brings up a Shankar-style flashback, some of the momentum is lost. The quality that made the first half so different — the coolness, the complete lack of family and tear-jerking emotion — gives way to sentiment, and we’ve seen these scenarios too many times to be really affected. I wished the villains had been better, more worthy of their gory deaths. I wished some of the geographical leaps had been better explained. I wished they’d shown how a character survives what looks like a fatal fall.

But I suppose if these concerns had been addressed it would have eaten into the screen time reserved for hero worship. And if you’re a fan, you’d rather see the hero slip on sunglasses and stride in slo-mo, you’d rather see him whiz through the streets of Dubai on a gleaming Ducati, you’d rather see him — while being tortured by the police, hung upside down and dunked into a vat of water — shake his thala stylishly and send droplets spinning across space. Even when feet and hands are tied, the face cannot be overcome.

Leoji , I always believed Ajith sirji is one of THE BEST in current generation. I definitely don't agree he doing more masala movies will help his current image , those movies are always fixed for certain manikin kinda actors. He has ton of potential ,his future movies should be more along the lines of Crime Thriller, Action Adventure, political drama and others.
Hope Mr.GVM comes up with a good subject for him.

Ajith's "Arrambam" is performing extremely well not just in India but also in key overseas markets including US, UK and Australia.

The film, which hit the screens on 31 October, opened to rave reviews from critics and the audiences alike. The Ajith starrer seems to be the first choice of the public among other Diwali releases. The actor has once again proved that he is the undisputable king of box office with "Arrambam" raking in good collections. The film has given Ajith his best ever opening in India and is all set to be another hit in the actor's career.

The Vishnu Vardhan directorial has done excellent business in overseas markets as well. According to film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, "Arrambam" has minted around ₹1.34 crore from 37 screens during the opening weekend at the UK box office. The film's gross collections from Australia are pegged at ₹33.05 lakh (7 screens). Details about its collections from US markets are still awaited.

"Tamil film #Arrambam is excellent. Opng wknd: UK £ 135,223 [Rs 1.34 cr]... Australia A$ 55,953 [Rs 33.05 lacs]... USA total to be updated," Taran Adarsh tweeted.

"Arrambam" has grossed better collections than Suriya's "Singam 2" which fetched £109,483 in its first week at the UK box office. The stylish, action-packed entertainer has surpassed "Singam 2" collections in its first weekend earning £135,223. The film is expected to continue its good run at the box office for a few more weeks until new Tamil films hit screens.

With two hit films ("Billa" and "Arrambam") to their credit, Ajith and Vishnu have proved to be a lucky pair. It remains to be seen if the duo will team up again for a third film. However, it might not happen in the near future as Ajith is currently busy with his other film commitments. The actor's upcoming film "Veeram" is gearing up for a release in January 2014.

He has also committed to work in Gautham Menon's project, which is expected to go on floors in February next year.

Arrambam (Tamil : 2013 : 2h35m)
Written & Directed by Vishnuvardhan
Music : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Cinematography : Om Prakash
Editing : Sreekar Prasad

Banner : Sri Satya Sai Movies

Starring : Ajith Kumar, Arya, Nayantara, Taapsee, Kishore, Rana & others

Series of bomblasts in Mumbai takes the investigating police officer Prakash to the doors of the state home minister, but using his power of words, the home minister instructs him to find who is behind the blasts rather than beating around the bush. In the meantime, a computer hacker Arjun is kidnapped and tricked to work for Ashok Kumar aka AK. Its just minutes that Arjun finds out that AK is behind the blasts but is helpless to go against him for more than one loveable reasons. AK makes Arjun bring down the satellite channels and further more brutally kills a pawn to retrieve a hard disk full of financial informations of leading political & business personalities in the country. Again, Arjun is forced to crack these accounts, but Arjun quite cleverly contacts Prakash with clues of his whereabouts resulting in the arrest of AK. Maya, one of AK's associates, reveals the motives of AK, which tosses the moral of Arjun. Arjun teams up with Maya to plot and escape AK from the police custody. He then marches hand in hand with AK to accomplish what he had started. In the meantime Prakash still got enough evidences to go behind these culprits. What’s the reason behind AK's terrifying acts, who are these band of new born saints, will Prakash bring them to justice & finally what’s the fate of all these people unknowingly crossing paths forms the end of Arrambham.

Ajith has become one of the rare Brands that sells however it is served. Arrambham is yet another film where the magnetic charm and charisma of Ajith helps the film maker Vishnuvaradhan cross half the sea effortlessly. The rest half, Vishnu had managed to do without much push with his skilful narration and excellent cinematography. He has punctually added several interesting patches in his narration which tends to shout louder than the sage old story. They were well executed until the end, where the whole triangular hostage situation was crisply narrated. He has left many indicators like the interval block, bank scene, arrest scene, the dilemma climax etc., which will make the movie memorable. Basically he had a brick load of such scenes with which he had constructed an entertaining tower - Arrambam.

Again Ajith - He has made the character AK quite believable. Whether its a terrorist or a friend or deceived commoner or cheated official - he just excels in which ever uniform his character wears. The giant-ness of each and every scene could be felt merely by this presence. His commanding voice highlights who is the chief of the situation. And of coarse you got the stunts performed by him - they are pure joy to experience on the big screen.

Other casts - Nayan walks around as the Cinderella with a wooden face. Her gun slinging is quite professional and glad to see a dame in TFI who does not hesitate drop a man with her weapon. Her attitude has risen much more while handling fire arms. Tapsee played the silliness of her character naturally, she does give variations esp. during the "I Love You" phone conversation. Her character was the only positive energy in the film, while the rest were dying to take revenge. Arya should thank Vishnu for crafting a character which cannot be tampered with even though Arya is hell bend to do so. I liked him in the Tamilachi song sequence. And of coarse I side him merely for all his "comic-title" T-shirt. He goes to Dubai with a "white & black" superman t-shirt ... LoL, and he has a head of Spiderman on his laptop. Kishore, one of the well suited Police Officer of TFI. Would have loved to see a tussle between him and Ajith, maybe in some other movie. All the villains did their parts as seen in various other Tamil movies - you know there is a detailed written dictionary about how terrorist should de crafted in TFI and all film makers follow it by line.

U1 had done a tremendous job. I could see a major disappointment towards the BGM. All I can come up with is that, its not the usual sounds that we used to hear as a BGM. Mostly strings were used and for the action sequences, esp. the hostage rescue, it was so dense. I felt that for all the gun fights U1 had kept it quite sharp and short. You got to have played Max Payne 3 game to completely understand what I am talking about. Just like in the game, the tension is softly mounted through abstract sounds that puts you in the middle of the action sequence. Another one is during the end credits - I do not know how many of you stayed, you could have got a chance to listen to a different piece. The movie does not give scope for a half minute long theme music. The scenes were short with many cuts & camera focus shifts constantly. So you got that dubstep remix music whenever Ajith goes into slo-mo. After Kattu Kuil song from Thalapathy, Melala Vedikudhu song has become my favorite video song. Just the opening is pure class visually. Tamilachi song was a treat to watch, esp. the camera work and its angle. But the "no-connection-what-so-ever" Arrambamey song dilutes the exploding aspect. But still a good song where he says "Naam Aasapatta Athukkaga Vaazhanamda".

Now comes the prickly part - No character has any depth or emotional quotient. For ex : Niether Arjun nor Anita realise the gravity of the situation, rather they just behave as though they are being ragged by their college seniors. As usual, many characters come and go (ex. Prakash), whenever they want. Simply put the whole character drama is missing. The movie lags continuity (that’s lodged as an complaint in Editing - no, the editor just assembles the sequences from the raw footage as numbered by the film maker). For ex : when the flash back jumps to reality, for a whole minute no one had a clue what was Kishore doing in Ajith's flash back, but later they educate themselves that the flash back is over. One thing I never was able to decipher is Ajith not hesitating to blast the Police men when his motive is actually fighting to bring justice for them. Then there is a similar "Keffiyeh" claded Ajith/Arya sequence. Loop holes, well, there’s more than one and if you had come up with something, there’s no suprise as we’ve seen elements like that before in TFI. And then comes the dialogues - oh my! lets rest here.

No Ajay, watched it 3rd time last night... the dialogue is not in the movie here, i guess it will come when AK asks Dheeksha to give her thumbs to open her account???

Nopes....It actually comes when the bank manager explains to Ajith about the safety measures in place for the account holders

[Siv.S]

Saw the film yesterday with full crowd ( 4th day in Singapore which means the film is superhit already).


The film good and entertaining.

But as highlighted by some others, Ajith has to come out of this and do a film with more emotions, dialogues and comedy too.

:2thumbsup:

[paranitharan]

Anyways, I saw the film. It is a better film than Mangatha but Ajith's role in Mangatha was better.

It was engaging for the most part and only places where I was bored were the fights. Too many fights, guns and bombs and the 15 mins before climax were kind of boring but the rest were entertaining. Ajith was fantastic. One needs guts do to films without romance or duet songs. Nobody would have the guts to do it now. Arya was good and I even liked Tapsee. There should have been a face off ir more interaction between Ajith and Kishok. He is one of my favourite actor.

Songs were okaish. BGM was adequate but cant blame Yuvan much as he wasn't given enough time according to Vishnu.

[Siv.S]

The item girl (what ever her name) was good :lol2: :yessir:
Yessssssss Thamizhachi was Hottttttt!!, both the song and the girl...

[Siv.S]

Nopes....It actually comes when the bank manager explains to Ajith about the safety measures in place for the account holders
ah ok, it's been cut here...

[paranitharan]

Regarding "chief" that's how Ajith refers his buddies that are elder to him. I read that somewhere and if you listen to the Jeyapraksh interview in indiaglitz, it will somewhat confirm it. I don't see a problem with that being used.

[Dinesh84]

Many didn't like Taapsee. But I kind of liked her in the movie.. Minister shouting at her Drama Queen lol

[uruzalari]

She was apt for the role..... But they could have shown someone else reading the news towards the end before the final credits...... That was supposed to be a little serious and with her reading it was little off the mark

[Siv.S]

Many didn't like Taapsee. But I kind of liked her in the movie.. Minister shouting at her Drama Queen lol
Mahesh Manjrekar was superb over all...

Enna Ashoook Ashoook Ashok, his timing was too good :lol: computer sambrani,drama queen.. and the last one i laughed more which many would not noticed it i guess.. Record panriya "cheating" da dei :rotfl2:

AARAMBAM EXTRA ORDINARY OVERSEAS

ஆனால், அஜித்துக்கு 'ஆரம்பம்' மனநிறைவைத் தரவில்லையாம்.

படத்தில் நிறைய லாஜிக் மீறல்கள் இருக்கின்றன. இதைப் பற்றி யாரும் கவலைப்படவில்லை. ஆனால் அஜித் கவலைப்பட்டாராம்.
'ஆரம்பம்' படத்தில் இடம்பெற்ற பல காட்சிகள் அஜித்துக்கு முழ திருப்தியைத் தரவில்லை.
குறிப்பாக, பச்சிளம் குழந்தை மீது சூடான அயர்ன் பாக்ஸை அஜித் வைக்க முயலும் காட்சி தல மனதை மிகவும் சங்கடப்படுத்தி விட்டதாம்.

தன் முகம் காண நம்பி வரும் ரசிகனை ஏமாற்றக் கூடாது. இனி, தன்னுடைய ஒவ்வொரு படமும் ரசிகர்களுக்கு சரியான விருந்தாக அமைய வேண்டும் என தல முடிவெடுத்து விட்டாராம்.
'இனி தல கதை கேட்கும் பாணியே வேறு மாதிரி இருக்கும்' என்று அஜித்தின் நெருங்கிய வட்டாரம் சொல்கிறது.

Yes, remember that during Vishwa issues vishnu tweeted that "we will edit and come "..

[Dilbert]

Yes, remember that during Vishwa issues vishnu tweeted that "we will edit and come "..

This could be the reason why we saw some drag in scenes leading up to climax !

[mappi]

Oh, OK. That explains why the gang leader holding the hostages shouted "Alvida" while trying to pinch his remote ; including all the lags right from the Durani's head calling the "villan" until the whole triangular hostage rescue.
And Durani was like a terrorist from space - no nothing about him ... LoL.
If it was reworked then just as the movie, the cover-ups are wonderful too ... LoL

Mahesh Manjrekar was superb over all...

Enna Ashoook Ashoook Ashok, his timing was too good :lol: computer sambrani,drama queen.. and the last one i laughed more which many would not noticed it i guess.. Record panriya "cheating" da dei :rotfl2:

Not only that, the end signature of the climax was the fear of Mahesh Manjrekar. He is the system + he is surrounded by all power (Bombsquad + Police) but one "idiot" comman man makes him beg for life => hey wireman wireman - while addressing the bomb squad guy ... LoL.

The whole setup was good and performed well which includes the "Tic Tok" and Kishore's dilemma.

[Just like Ramlila, the villan is blasted and the climax connects Vijayadashami (Dasara) and the home comming celebrations of Rama - Diwali].

I meant his origins. Durani is the one arrested by Ajith and Rana during the holdup in the school. The subplot is stopping those who were plotting to hand him over to his parent gang (again unknown group). There was only one mention : "Indian Border Dras".

And yes he is one of the member of hostage musical chair.

[Siv.S]

no not that way :twisted: do you know that it is not reliable?
Yes i know that guy who posted it.. there r many self proclaimed industry trackers in twitter, the reliable reports ( sri50, taran) go unnoticed if we start posting all of their tweets.. even pls avoid cinetimes also... ellam vaaayilaiye vadai sudra parties

Many didn't like Taapsee. But I kind of liked her in the movie.. Minister shouting at her Drama Queen lol

I liked both Tapsee and her performance as Anitha. She did it quite naturally. The time she takes and twists her lips before saying "so sweet" to Arjun was awesome. She walks across with some amazing casuals and her foot wear needs a special mention. And she gives a loveable as well as a laughable expression when she gets scolded by the minister for not accepting the food ... LoL

[paranitharan]

She looked beautiful and she was the only innocent character there.

Ajith's Arrambam crosses 50 crores

TNN | Nov 6, 2013, 11.21 AM IST

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-25305592,width-300,resizemode-4/Ajith-Mask-2.jpg

Vishnuvardhan directed 'Arrambam' starring Ajith, Nayanthara, Arya and Taapsee which released for Diwali on October 31st has crossed 50 crores collection in the first week. The much awaited Ajith flick grossed 7.20 crores at the Chennai box office alone and about 30 crores in Tamil Nadu.

Along with the overseas collections, the film has grossed more 50 crores in total, much to the delight of the fans and makers. The film now has also got more screens due as Karthi starrer 'All in All Alaghu Raja' hasn't fulfilled the audiences expectations. With more screens for ' Arrambam', the collections are expected to soar in the next couple of weeks.

Produced by A Raghuram's Sri Satya Sai Movies, 'Arrambam' has music composed by Yuvanshankar Raja, the cinematography is handled jointly by PS Vinod and Om Prakash.

Sathyam status for this weekend.

[Adox]

Director Vishnuvardhan's 'Arrambam' is probably the most successful movie this year, and yet the very protagonist is not satisfied with the film. While everyone is all smiles about the ups and hits of 'Arrambam', Ajith is worried over the flaws and misses. Amidst the whistles, claps and praises everywhere, it would not have registered much that 'Arrambam' lacked logic in a few places, but it is precisely these sequences that are under Ajith's lens now. The actor feels that the dearth of rationale in a few portions of the film renders it incoherent and is deeply disappointed over the shortfall. Speaking on this, he said "I am not entirely happy about 'Arrambam'. There are scenes which could have been narrated with more logic. Of all the scenes that put me off, the one where I am portrayed to threaten with a steaming iron box right above a baby is the most depressing.

Although I am glad on one hand that the audience have sidelined this for the greater thread of story, I am also feeling held responsible on the other, for all the blunders. People walk into the theatres with a lot of hope and faith on the actor and story as a whole, and I should not risk meddling with it" says a worried Ajith. So there, you have one more reason to hail him as 'Thala'! A trusted source, close to the actor further says that from now on, Ajith will be even more careful in choosing his scripts. And not just that, his very strategy of choice will go in for a change. Does Ajith have the directors' ears?

Feedback from Ajit himself ..... Nice to see him analyzing his own movie for shortfalls. Good trend.

I agree with Ajith to a certain extent! The story is "Old wine in a new bottle".

[Mr.GreyShirt]

Glad to see that the movie is doing really well. Need more high grossing movies in TF. I just hope directors don't exploit Ajith's stardom. Make weak movies and adding Ajith to make it perform well in Boxoffice. I'm glad he is doing Veeram next. Can't wait for that to release.

Honestly I don't know why 43 for Arrambam...I know we fans enjoyed it but i don't think this movie is worth of 43.

Hope Ajith will be extra carefull in future about scripts that he choose

It takes self confidence and courage to come up with something like that ... I presumed Ajit has it.

'Arrambam' Box Office Collection: Ajith Starrer Dominates Over Other Releases

By sangeetha seshagiri (http://www.ibtimes.co.in/archives/articles/reporters/sangeetha-seshagiri/): November 6, 2013 11:24 AM IST

http://img.ibtimes.com/www/data/images/full/2013/05/12/369613-ajith.jpg

Ajith (Screenshot/ YouTube)

Ajith's "Arrambam" dominates over new releases in Tamil as well as other languages at the Tamil Nadu box office

"Arrambam" took a fantastic opening upon release on 31 October. According to senior film journalist Sreedhar Pillai, the Ajith starrer raked in approximately ₹8.75 crore nett (no tax) at the Tamil Nadu box office. The film not only gave Ajith his best ever opening, but also got the best opening of the year as against other big releases in Tamil.

"Arrambam" has reportedly surpassed the first-day collections of 2013's biggest hits (till date) - "Vishwaroopam" and "Singam 2."

"Vishwaroopam" raked in around ₹5.81 crore on its first day at the TN box office, whereas "Singam 2" reportedly fetched around ₹8.15 crore from TN, Kerala and Karnataka areas (combined). However, "Arrambam" has minted approximately ₹8.75 crore from Tamil Nadu alone, despite releasing on a week day.

The Ajith starrer is running to packed houses in theatres worldwide, as it seems to be the first choice of the public. Particularly in Chennai, "Arrambam" rules the box office over other releases.

According to Sreedhar, "Arrambam" takes the top spot at the Chennai box office pushing down films including "All in All Azhaguraja", "Pandiya Nadu" and "Krrish 3."

Chennai Box Office Diwali Weekend (1-3 November)
1. Arrambam
2. All in All Azhaguraja (AAA)
3. Pandiya Nadu
4. Krrish 3
5. Gravity

"Arrambam" has emerged as the clear winner among the Diwali releases in Chennai theatres. "AAA", which was panned by critics, holds the second spot thanks to advance bookings for the film. The film's collections are expected to drop in the coming days.

Vishal's "Pandiya Nadu" has fetched decent collections at the box office. The film has taken the third spot at the Chennai box office due to limited number of shows. Its collections are expected to pick up, once more number of screens is allotted from the second week.

Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish 3" is on a record smashing spree in northern circuits. Although the film has received positive feedback from critics and audiences in TN, the sci-fi entertainer has not been able dominate over Tamil releases in the state.

Arrambam on its way to create history, crosses 50 crores



Nov 06, 2013 12:55 PM

Ajith Kumar’s Diwali release Arrambam has already created a new benchmark in the history of Southern cinema as it has crossed 50 crores in the first week of its release. The much-awaited Vishnuvardhan-directed film has collected 7.20 crores at the Chennai box office and around 30 crores across Tamil Nadu.

http://images.desimartini.com/media/uploads/ajith_2.jpg

Along with the international collections, the film has earned over 50 crores which is a huge reason for celebrations for Thala Ajith’s fans as well as the makers of the film. The film has been declared as a blockbuster as Karthi’s All in All Azhagu Raja hasn't met its viewers’ high expectations. As Arrambam has got more viewership, the collections are supposed to increase in the next couple of weeks. Arrambam has been produced by Sri Satya Sai Movies and it has its music composed by Yuvanshankar Raja. Arrambam also stars Nayantara, Arya and Taapsee Pannu and it was released on October 31.

Vishnuvardhan denies Ajith's disappointment
Nov 07, 2013
It is being reported around that Ajith expressed his dissatisfaction after watching Arrambam and mentioned that he was put off with the scene where he holds a steaming iron box over a baby.

However, when we got in touch with director Vishuvardhan, he mentioned that they are all rumours.

"After watching the film, Ajith sir hugged me and told me that it is one of the best films in his career. He told that Arya and Taapsee's characters will be appreciated by the audience. Ajith sir also told me that his family watched the movie and loved it too."

When asked about the iron box scene, Vishnuvardhan mentioned that the scene was already mentioned in the script.

"If Ajith sir did not like it, he wouldn't have accepted it. Moreover, we have justified the reasons behind his villainous deeds in the second half."

Arya was okay - i hated those purple wings ... but no one seemed to mind

Thala scenes ellam super - including the iron box and climax dialogs ... but i am happy that veeram will be a new genre as the trailer indicates

wish Nayan was younger - we dont have any heroine with a hint of intelligence these day !

Yes, this is the best that Ajith's Arrambam has got. :)

[leosimha]

Though there are some shortcomings in the movie, the biggest is the song Hare Rama not at all being shot and not in the movie. :( This was a good song with Shakthisree Gopalan and Tanvi Shah.

How long will the director and producer depend solely on the power of Thala's opening? :(

[mabiqukaumo]

First week Chennai Gross is 7.28C ( 2nd biggest opener in Chennai)

Vishnu is good in taking the song.. i was eagerly waiting to see this song since i heard this song.. thought this will good song for Thala after long gap.. :(

[HonestRaj]

How long will the director and producer depend solely on the power of Thala's opening? :(

until u all book the initial shows & make it house full... :)

[Arragesh]

Since lot of people are talking about "Hare Rama" song,From my point of view it is good that they did not picturize it because from lyrics and feel given in that songs clearly shows it is bubbly bubbly song that could be planned in Arya's Flash back portions on Tapsee & Nayanthara.I know it is fantastic song but good that they avoided it.

[cujoo]

cujoo bro, don't you have a separate tamil dishtv?

No Leo. I don't like Sun TV, or Jeya TV. I watch programs very rarely. Even my wife dosen't watch at all. She has to take care of kids(LOL). I watch sports (no cricket only IPL available) Hockey and basketball.
Now days they are a lot of Internet TV available. Again its me don't have time to sit and watch.

:clap: :clap: :thumbsup: BM, pls update in the Box office thread also....

[Bipolar]

Watched the film yesterday. Hate to say it but I was a bit disappointed. Not as stylish as Billa or even Mangaathaa.

Generally I like Ajith's acting but I felt like there was nothing in this film that hasn't already been tried before. After all the hype, I felt it was a bit of a let-down...

[Adox]

Cool. Has made a good impact out there ....

There was once a time when everything in Bollywood was looked up to from down South. The trend seems to have gradually changed for the better, with many new talents budding in Kollywood, especially on the lines of creative story telling. As a result, a lot of Tamil movies have been taken to Bollywood through proper remake rights, making it clearly evident that Southern actors are making a lasting impression in the famed Bollywood, without actually donning the screen there. With trademark Tamil movies like 'Thupakki' and 'Ramana' currently in the re-making in Hindi, the latest to have drawn interest is Thala's 'Arrambam'.

We hear that Akshay Kumar has evinced interest in taking the film to Hindi audience, by remaking the script in the B-town. Though an official word on this has not yet been let out, an announcement is looked forward to, in the days to come. Meanwhile, 'Arrambam' has made director Vishnuvardhan, Ajith and the other stars happy, running successfully over the second week in packed houses all over the world.
