(Day7), but the downward trend is wide and clear. It seems, All sections of audience are thronging to Gopala screens but only Youth & Mass are for `I`. Trade expects Gopala now to do well over the weekend and take a lead over `I` from Monday. As for `I`, numbers are good but not good enough for the High asking rate and prices it was sold at.***
Can we believe these guys??? :lol:
I dont know what they did then. These days they are "careful" not promoting any "tamil movie"!Quote:

I think Shankar is clearly aware of it and he cleverly manages to offer a different treatment by following non linear narration where audience gets a feel that both the present portion and flashback portion happens at the same time which helps to avoid a larger familiarity feel.
As someone who admires Shankar for his innate qualities of dream, courage and ambition, I get to see all his signature stamps, the movie has highly imaginative and colorful song sequences, larger than life stunt sequences, great make up’s and good special effects. The movie also appeals to the emotions whenever it is required. The sympathy feel for vikram, the anger towards villans orwhen Amy feels the guilt, everything is communicated well.
There is also a subtle social message conveyed through the story. It shows the ugly side of the powerful, wealthy and influential persons of the society who can go up to any level in damaging the normal persons when they do not fit into their world and we have a shankar’s version of super hero waging a war against them.
If we want to show an example for dedication in order to explain it, then it has to be vikram. I just got amazed by the extent vikram has gone in order to justify the character he plays on the screen. Amy seems to be a good fit for the model character and she emotes well.
Powerstar has been used very well and santhanam was good too. Wish ramkumar had a better debut than this. Watching the son of great sivaji ganesan in such a role is totally unacceptable.
Every scene in china was totally out of the world. PC Sriram’s camera is the epitome of beauty. Who other than A R Rahman can provide such a great feel? He definitely scores big after his average work in Lingaa.
The movie has its own flaws. Many scenes are easily predictable. There is no stand out scenes or moments. No great dialogues (Shankar is really missing sujatha. Hope he finds a replacement soon though it is very difficult). Recall value too is very less I guess. The movie runs for more than 3 hours and one cannot hid the fact that it is tiring. The movie has lot of double entrees thrown everywhere, high in glamour quotient both with respect to actor and actress. The looks of certain characters are disgusting. It’s appeal value to families and kids have to be seen.
Overall, the movie is definitely worth watching, We do not get to see such movies being made in tamil so often. When the title cards started rolling, people immediately stood up from the seats, but once again, ennondu nee irundhal song got played, no one left the movie hall till the song got ended up and this clearly shows the movie has succeeded in gaining the attention though it is 3 hrs long and no one felt tortured or suffered.
Shankar has one particular stamp which he leaves in all his films. A sentiment scene to hit the women audience.
1.Manorama self immolation in Gentleman
2.Kasthuri fire accident in Indian
3.Geetha death in Jeans
4.Arjun losing his parents in Mudhalvan
5.Boys' suffering in jail
6.Sivaji losing his house, his death
7.Amy giving alms to hunchback
I or Ai
Finally watched the movie in theatre. I am satisfied with the movie, it had plusses and negatives like most movies does. Vikram tried something different like in Sethu, Pithamagan, Dheiva Thirumagal. His effort and sacrifices are applaudable. Havent really noticed Amy Jackson in her previous movies be it Thandavam or Yevadu. Shankar made her work her .... off for the movie and I think she is a very talented actress. Her modelling career plus her look like Belle from beauty and the beast worked in benefit for the movie. I found Power Star more funny in the movie than Santhanam. And to use Santhanam to make fun of uglyness, is like when bad guys make fun of Hunchback. Those scenes didnt work out for me. It wasnt a big surprise who the really villain was in the movie, it was very obvious from his introduction scene. Seen so many movies with similar twist.
Other than Vikram and Amy Jackson, A R Rahman made fantastic job on songs and BGM. Mersalaayitten, Pookkale, were eartreat and visual treat. I was dissapointed with picturization of ennodu nee irunthaal (also fav song), they could have shot that song in china too.
Director Shankar was the director who many think will take tamil cinema to next level. He slipped a bit in this movie.
This movie ought to be seen in theatre, or on the biggest TV when the DVD/Bluray disc releases.

I ahead of Hollywood films
The Aascar Production venture I that hit the screens yesterday (14th January) is said to be doing good business and creating a few new records at the box office. Besides Tamil, the film is released in Telugu and Hindi too.
There are a couple of firsts to this Shankar directorial. We had earlier reported that for the first time, the Hindi version of a Tamil film is being released in Lahore, Pakistan. To add some more feathers to this already decorated cap of I, here are a few highlights as reported by producer Aascar Film in their twitter page.
The Telugu version of the film has created a record on the opening day by crossing seven crores nett which is said to be new for a dubbed film. Aascar Film tweets, “[#TELUGU Record] #I Telugu creates record for 1st day opening day crosses 7 Crs Nett . A Huge record for a dubbed...”
And in the movie ticket pre-sales chart, the film is trending at the third position which is updated by Aascar Film as, “#I (#Ai) is still trending at the #3 position in the @MovieTickets Pre-Sales Chart, way ahead of #Hollywood movies releasing this week!”
