Padam release aanapothu vaazhnthu aarainthavan solluren .... singaravelan was an average grosser.
In cities, yes an average grosser. Was panned by critics and A center audience. So after a good opening, it fell. For the first 1 week I couldn't get a ticket in Udhayam and watched it in the 2nd week. WOM was negative(before release it was hyped as another Sagala Kala Vallavan) & from 3rd week tickets were easily available.Quote:

Yeah later changed to Drohi but since Kamal fans objected he renamed it as KP.Quote:

yeskissme..i referred to wiki and said "I dont know" too. i know wiki can be manipulated. but at that time heard it was hit as mentioned by HH. and as hardcore fan, i hated that movie and count it among the few worst movie of KH. watched only once. songs were fantabulous and story was rusty. thalaiver looked very young.
as as far as drohi, remember nammavar fans objected to that title stating they cant wear a tee shirt with drohi written across it :-D
Fans tee shirt poda mudiyaathathukkellaam padam pera KH maatha maattaaru. Thats for sure. Must have been something else

i know CR sir
Kurudhippunal was adapted from Govind Nihalani's Drohkaal, and this might be the reason behind the earlier title 'Drohi'. At times when hero's name would be chosen as the title in tamil films, 'Kurudhippunal' came as a surprise, it was like sanga-thamizh title, roughly meaning 'ratha-aaru'. (consider the blood-shed depicted in the movie)
KH even had the opening scene where the school-bus explodes and falls off into a gorge, camera freezing towards the red river moving on to a blood circle.. 'Kurudhippunal' !! what a legend
KV Udayakumar after Singaravelan : "It mignot have become my biggest commercial hit ever; but this is the movie for which I got maximum appreciation letters from people, especially from rural areas."
Trailer ready is official news. But the second part os just crap. Why do u get disappointed unnecessarily ?Quote:

It may be better to release Papanasam in Feb and Uthama Villain on April New Year's day. everyone says UV has come out well and can be a blockbuster if a big holiday weekend is chosen without clashing with World cup etc.
Even I felt the same but papanasam is family entertainer and it has the potential to become huge hit if its released during summer holidays by april 14..No need to promote papanasam vigorously for huge 1st week collections since its family entertainer and people will come to theaters even after 10 days of release..Quote:

USV..what kind a logic is that?
it is the nature of the movie to work out in theater, huge promotions/publicity or not. best example is alavandhan. the same principle applies to movies like guna, hey ram and anbe sivam. hardcore fans will see them and enjoy the sheer brilliance, but general and family audience will not come to theater. so I disagree with ur logic. if a movie is not gripping and feel-good, it wouldnt work-out.
if papanasam is made as good and realistic as the original, it may not be liked in TN because there is sea of diff between our tastes. (just compare manichitra thaazh and chandramuki)
UV on the other hand, looking at the meager info, looks like an out-and-out masala movie with good story. it should work any time it is released.
papanasam is not going to be as subtle as drishyam was ... its going to be a bit emotional ..
Why or how do you say so?Quote:

"UTTAMA VILLAIN" official trailer release on 14th January...!! - Kamal Haasan Facebook
Periya manasu panni Trailerukku Naal select pannirukkanga!! Hopefully they will follow through.
I watched driishyam Malayalam movie and based on the nature of the movie papanasam will be liked by family ppl..Quote:

Heyram is totally different and it will be flop even if its released now because the movie is slow paced and with more languages spoken..
Anbe sivam released 10 yrs back and lot changed in these 10 years -audience taste,marketing,solo release with maximum number of theaters,first 1 week collection,multiplex culture,foreign market extension..so if UV is similar to anbe sivam in terms of classic it will be superhit and not average/flop..
For me UV is not masala film and I guess its the movie that speaks about truth/god..
I sort of agree with USV above post. Only difference ...... UV is going to be like apoorva sago in kamal career rather than the other AS ..... Anbe Sivam. UV is a classic masala combo only KH possible ....... its gonna be one of the boggest hits in TFI.

Kamal's Uttama Villain also for Pongal?
When there were almost 5 films battling for a Pongal release, very few have managed to squeeze through and get some screens amidst the I transformation. The 14th of January, the auspicious harvest day will also have Kamal chipping in with his.
The recent update from a trustworthy source is, Kamal's Uttama VIllain will have it's trailer released by the 14th of January. With just a teaser and a few photos, fans of Kamal always felt less satisfied. But this news is a definite boost to the entire industry and the film buffs.
Written by Kamal and directed by his long time associate Ramesh Aravind, Uttama Villain also has a cameo by the late KB sir. Will Viswaroopam 2, Uttama Villain and Papanasam also make it to the theatres before the end of this year? Can't wait !

Actually, I think they still don't know release date....missed the Jan 23 long weekend....so now not sure of when. Without release date, difficult to release trailer. You don't want to release trailer too soon and create a long gap between trailer and release. Will make the movie look dated.Quote:

Best to bite the bullet and announce it will release on Tamil New Year, 2014. Get all the theatres lined up with good promotion leading up to that.

In 2-3 days we will know.
I expect trailer to be out on youtube by midnight of 13th and then pongal day all tv channels.
Am little skeptical about the box office collection as far as UV is concerned. Kind of pessimistic approach for UV. If it really good in terms of screen play and casting, it's box office fate would yield great results. So far, I had seen many a times hypes on Kamal movies before releases and the movies were somehow not meeting the expectations the hype set. Watching UV with zero expectations would be better I guess.
On other hand, Dhrishyam is a well written script and been a proven result in terms of script and collections. Same with VR 2 also.
Things made me little skeptical about UV are casting and story (finding a balance in emotional and comedy planes). Let us see.
