இளையதளபதி விஜய் நடித்த கத்தி திரைப்படம் இதுவரை தென்னிந்திய படங்கள் செய்த பல சாதனைகளை உடைத்து தகர்த்தெறிந்து வருகிறது என்பதை நாம் தினந்தோறும் பார்த்துக்கொண்டுதான் இருக்கின்றோம். இன்றைய நிலவர தகவலின்படி 'கத்தி' பிரிட்டனில் இதுவரை வெளியான தமிழ் திரைப்படங்களின் வசூலில் மூன்றாவது இடத்தை பிடித்து சாதனை புரிந்துள்ளது. சிவாஜி மற்றும் எந்திரன் ஆகிய திரைப்படங்களே முதல் இரு இடத்தில் உள்ளது.
கடந்த சில மாதங்களுக்கு முன் ஒரு வார பத்திரிகை எடுத்த சர்வேயின்படி விஜய்க்கு "அடுத்த சூப்பர் ஸ்டார்" என்ற பட்டம் கிடைத்தது. ஆனால் அந்த சமயத்தில் அவர் இந்த பட்டத்தை பணம் கொடுத்து பெற்றதாக ஒருசிலர் வதந்தியை கிளப்பிவிட்டனர். அந்த வதந்திக்கு விஜய் தனது படத்தின் வசூலின் மூலம் முற்றுப்புள்ளி வைத்துவிட்டார்.
ஒருவேளை கத்தியின் வசூலை 'லிங்கா' அல்லது 'என்னை அறிந்தால்' திரைப்படங்கள் முறியடிக்கலாம். இருப்பினும் 'கத்தி' படத்தை போலவே அடுத்தடுத்து விஜய் நடிக்கும் திரைப்படங்கள் வெற்றி பெறுமானால் அவர் சூப்பர்ஸ்டார் பட்டத்திற்கான தகுதியை நோக்கி செல்வதை யாராலும் தடுக்க முடியாது. இதை அவரது அடுத்த படங்களின் வெற்றிதான் முடிவு செய்யும்.
Who is this gobi guy. Same guy who said Madras story and one more movie (not sure with the name) as his story?
I've no clue about him. He's being funded by some vested interest to do all these things. Good that ARM and vijay have moved to their next project without giving any **** to these guys. :clap:Quote:

So bang on target. This is why Vijay is kid's first choice.
Note: Even though I am a Captain fan I like Rajni too but when it comes to comedy he changed his style from mid/late 80s like Raja Chinna Roja/Pandian/Ulaippali/Muthu etc and it looks like over the top performance and odd but later it was accepted as his movies became hits and loved by kids. But even today when I watch his some comedy scenes just feel weird.

Box Office: Why 355 Crore Grosser 'Happy New Year' Isn't Big as 110-crore Grosser 'Kaththi'!
The Indian film industry has witnessed two big hit movies this Diwali, Shah Rukh Khan's "Happy New Year" and Vijay's "Kaththi", which have ruled the box office.
While the Hindi movie is inching towards the 355 crore mark, the Kollywood movie is heading towards grossing 110 crores worldwide.
The success of both "Happy New Year" and "Kaththi" has made people measure the success considering a few factors and leaving aside the total collection made by the films till date.
On closely looking at the markets and the collections, one would easily declare that it is 110 crore grosser "Kaththi", which is a bigger hit than 355 crore grosser "Happy New Year" at the box office.
The first and foremost reason is the fact that Bollywood has a global market comprising South Asian nations, the US, the UK, Australia and France. It gets released in African countries too. Even then, "Happy New Year" is reaching 355 crore mark worldwide and is struggling to reach 200 crore in India.
On the other end, apart from South Indian states, Tamil films do well only in Malaysia, Singapore, the UK and the US. On an average, an A-list Bollywood actor's movie contributes 45% of collection from the overseas. But for Kollywood, it is only 25%.
One has to note that the market of Bollywood has now expanded to 500 crore by Aamir Khan's "Dhoom 3", which made 355 crore in India alone. Going by this factor, the success of "Happy New Year" is far lesser than the Bollywood standards. Whereas, in the history of Kollywood, only four movies have crossed 100 crore mark and "Kaththi" is one among them.
For Kollywood, Rajinikanth's "Enthiran" remains the highest grossing movie with 150 crore for the Tamil version and the success of "Kaththi" is no less than a big achievement.
Huge Promotions
If the above reasons do not justify the argument, "Happy New Year" was promoted in every nook and corner of India and the world. But "Kaththi" had low-key promotions.
Apart from a few press meets, Vijay's film unit was not seen anywhere. Though Shah Rukh's efforts were higher, the returns are lesser. But for Vijay, it is a little effort and best results.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.. Gounderism at its Peak! ARM's style of replying. Paapa thalli poi vizhayadu ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbLvRnWstUI
That was in bad taste,ARM. Either you should've come in public and defended yourself or be silent and believe in the judiciary. Memes and trolls will only pull you down to the level of someone like Premji. :(

Rajinikanth’s Lingaa is not like Kaththi: Rockline Venkatesh
A lot of speculation has surrounded superstar Rajinikanth's forthcoming film, Lingaa. Fans have been curious about what the movie is all about and there were even rumours recently that the plot of Lingaa is similar to that of Vijay's latest blockbuster, Kaththi.
Rockline Venkatesh, who is the producer of the movie, came out with a clarification after similarities were drawn between the teaser of Lingaa and Kaththi. A shot from the teaser shows Rajinikanth's character building a dam. Kathithi, which released recently, deals with the corporate exploitation of water, and the grab from the trailer of Lingaa suggests that Rajinikanth's movie also deals with the same subject. But Rockline has come out in defense of his movie and said that there is no connection between the two scripts.

'Kaththi' affects 'Lingaa' story?
IndiaGlitz [Saturday, November 08, 2014]
'Kaththi', the recently released Vijay and Samantha starrer supposedly has a similar story to Rajni's upcoming Lingaa. Sources fear that this fact might reduce the chances of Lingaa becoming a hit film and are changing a few scenes in Lingaa now.
Rockline Venkatesh, the producer of Lingaa has strongly denied any such rumours. Kaththi was based on a foreign firm taking villagers land to infilterate water, and Lingaa runs through the same plot and so KS Ravikumar is reshooting some scenes to reduce the similarities says rumours. But, the two films have no similarities says team Lingaa. They also say that Lingaa shoot completed ages back and is now in dubbing, so all this is just rumours. Only time will tell.

Very true brother. Even a Super Star couldn't satisfy everyone:-DQuote:

Kaththi , a really big break seems to have happened quite early in your career. How was it working with A.R. Murugadoss?
We met only once at a hotel when Murugadoss asked if I would work with him on his next film with Vijay. Later, when we started work, I asked him why he chose me. He said he was so surprised to see a music director being applauded when the credits rolled after Ethir Neechal. He also noticed how the kids in his apartment complex were singing my songs from Vanakkam Chennai. That’s when he decided to work with me and we gel well as a team. That’s perhaps why he also signed me on for his next Hindi film with Fox Studios, on which work will start in January.
Tell us about Vijay. Were you asked to compose a number specifically for him?
Vijay sir wanted to record at 9 a.m. (Laughs) I’m hardly up at that time. I had sent him a scratch version of ‘Selfie Pulla’. When he came to record, I realised he had already rehearsed it a few times. It was really nice to see such a busy person take the trouble. We finished recording the number in under an hour. The idea of a song for Vijay sir was there from the start. And when I travelled to Singapore for a concert, I noticed how crazy everyone was about selfies. I got the idea of ‘let’s take a selfie’ as the hook line for a song. I returned to Chennai and composed it. Of course, Vijay lent his character to it.

Kaththi has to settle for second place
Nov 09, 2014
As we have been regularly reporting, Kaththi has set the box-office on fire not just in South India but also in overseas markets. The film has set new benchmarks for 2014 in markets like UK, Australia and Malaysia.
In the US though, it looks like Kaththi has to settle for second place behind Rajini's Kochadaiiyaan which grossed around 635,000 USD. Kaththi has grossed around 622,000 USD so far and with the film already in the 3rd week of its run, not much is expected from here on.
Kaththi is the highest non-Rajini, non-Kamal grosser in the US and has set the mark very high for other stars. Lingaa meanwhile is expected to better Kaththi and live up to Rajini's lofty standards.
1. KATHTHI
Ranking based on Chennai Box Office Collections from Nov 03rd 2014 to Nov 09th 2014
Week :3
Total collections in Chennai :Rs. 6,70,98,734
Verdict:Blockbuster
No. Shows in Chennai (Weekend):165
Average Theatre Occupancy (Weekend):70%
Collection in Chennai (Weekend):Rs. 69,41,004
No. Shows in Chennai (Weekdays):324
Average Theatre Occupancy (Weekdays):40%
Collection in Chennai (Weekdays):Rs. 69,16,912
The big-budgeted Kaththi gets the Blockbuster tag by the sheer weight of its collections. It is holding on pretty well even after the new releases.
