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.

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.
Agree fully with paranitharan. Nice one.
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
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.
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.Quote:
