I read long ago in a Malaysian Tamil daily that MGR's Nadodi Mannan took INR1.1 crore.Quote:

^^^doing film for lingusamy is dropped?
There are some talks going on that instead of doing a new film for 30C, selling Thoongaavanam itself for 30C so that KH need not spend time for making one more quickie...Quote:

has UV been declared a flop? :roll:
that thread has become defunct.
Saar there is no need for me to do that. I read about in the late 70s and I am quoting it. The report mentioned the blockbusters in TFI and did say that Trisoolam was holding the record for the most takings at that date. I am just sharing it.Quote:

i recently watched manamadha lelai after a long time...Kamal at the age of 22 is outstanding in comedy role...For me the memorable charecter is kamal's assistant (Iyer who does katha kalachabam.. Pavathai ellam en thaliayla iraki vachittu avan haiyya suthintu irrukaan)....Is anyone who is this man?

That was also when Rajini was getting his own fan base - kids (like me) were charmed by his action filled films
I used watch movies that only has stunts....those are bygone days...Quote:

I also tried to watch "oru ootha poo kan simutugirathu" . there are two reasons 1. obviously kamal 2. the story based on novel (pushpa thangadurai)...i red the sumary of the story and felt it interesting... After watching few scenes particulary the emotional scene between kamal and his mom, i felt this is not the movie i wanted to watch...the emotional scene was very artificial and dialogues were horrible... if anyone seen the movie let me know is it still worth to take the risk.

#KamalHaasan at Kalyana Raman 100th Day function at #Vettri ...
dell_gt - the one thing I vividly remember abt Kalyanaraman is the Thengai Srinivasan-Manorama comedy track introduction in which both do a parody of Manohara on stage with chennai Tamil!
Thengai Srinivasan as Manohara (ROTFL) tells Manorama (who plays his mother) - 'அதோ கூத்தியாள பக்கத்துல Dunlop tireஆட்டம் குந்த வச்க்கினு கும்மாளமா அடிக்கிறான் அந்த பேமானி பய - அவன அப்புறம் கவனிச்சிக்கிறேன்' - referring to his father and his mistress! hilarious
#KamalHaasanRecords hashtag now active! THalaiver fans in twitter posting lot of Infos and BO Records with proof!

இன்று FMS என்ற சொல் எல்லாருக்கும் தெரியும்!முதன்முதலில் Foreign Malaysia Singapore என பிரித்து படங்களை விற்று, சினிமா வியாபாரத்தை விரிவுபடுத்தி காட்டியவரே கமல் தான்! அதுமட்டுமல்ல, 1980இல், நஷ்டத்தால் மூடப்பட இருந்த சிங்கப்பூர் மலேசியா தியேட்டர்கள் திறக்கப்படவும் அபூர்வசகோதரர்களின் மாபெரும் வெற்றி தான் காரணமாக இருந்தது!
http://www.dinamani.com/cinema/article1374446.ece
1980-களில் வெளிநாடுகளில் தமிழ்ப் படத்தையே வாங்க மாட்டார்கள். ஆனால் தன்னுடைய "அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள்' படத்தை வெளிநாடுகளில் விற்க கடும் முயற்சி செய்து அதில் வெற்றியும் கண்டார். கமல்ஹாசனின் அந்த முயற்சிக்குப் பிறகுதான் தமிழ்த் திரைப்படங்கள் வெளிநாடுகளில் விற்பனையாகின.

1989-ல் அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள் படம் மூலம் ஓவர்சீஸ் பட வியாபாரத்தை சிறக்க வைத்தார் கமல். இதன்மூலம் சிங்கப்பூர், மலேசியாவில் மூடப்பட்ட தியேட்டர்கள் திறக்கப்படுவதற்கும் காரணமாக இருந்தார்.
http://tamilcinema.news/2012121021603.html
நாங்களெல்லாம் ஓவர்சீஸ் என்று சொல்லப்படுகிற வெளிநாட்டு பட வியாபாரம் பற்றித் தெரியாமல் இருக்கும் போது அவர், தனது அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள் படத்தை வெளிநாடுகளில் தனித்தனியாக விற்று பணம் சம்பாதித்துக் காட்டினார். இன்றைக்கு அந்த வழியைத்தான் எல்லா தயாரிப்பாளர்களும் பின்பற்றி நல்ல பணம் சம்பாதிக்கிறார்கள்.

Interesting Notes :-
As I had mentioned earlier this is not an exhaustive list.
Continuous houseful shows – It means the movie shows have gone houseful in a row. Some movies which are super hit might run for 200 shows as continuous houseful and then register houseful shows intermittently while still doing well
On the number of days I have erred on the lower side and will provide the exact number of days later when I get my hands on my record sheet which unfortunately is back home.
Where I have mentioned 175 days in Madras, it does not mean that the movie did not run for 175 days in other cities in TN.
There are several other movies that have broken box office records but do not figure in this list becoz they did not make it to 175 days or I just missed them and will add to this list later
Upto the mid to late 80’s one of the most popular way to judge the star power of an actor was by the length of the queue for advance booking in Madras. When it came to advance booking there was and there is no other actor/ -star who can hold a candle to Thalaivar. Some of the queues for advance booking for Thalaivar’s movies like Sakalakalavallavan, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, Tik Tik Tik, Thoongathe Thambi Thoongathe, Raja Paarvai, Devar Magan (2nd week), Kuruthipunal were just astounding and cannot be matched by anyone
During MGR’s rule his cronies, even though they were also fans of Thalaivar, did not want anyone to break MGR’s record especially Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban’s record in Madras. Just to give you all some background on Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban –
Was the biggest box office record holder in Tamil films until Sivaji’s Tirisoolam
Ran for 25 weeks (regular shows) and 227 shows continuous houseful in Devi Paradise – Madras
For the advance booking during its release the queue started at Devi Paradise counter on the top floor (those days) and came winding down the ramp on to the car park, spilled on to Mount road and extended into neighbouring Shanthi theatre.
The movie was booked in advance for 28 days which was matched by Thalaivar’s Raja Paarvai (100th Movie)
Whenever a movie threatened Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban’s record in Devi Paradise and failed the fans of MGR will celebrate by printing some notices or posters till Thalaviar’s Aboorva Sagodharagal broke that record by registering nearly 300 continuous houseful shows
Proof for all the points mentioned above:

Five non-Hindi films that smashed records at the box office ( 2 movie belongs to Kamal sir)
Vishwaroopam (Tamil, 2013)
This Tamil spy thriller about a New York-based Kathak teacher in a troubled marriage with a secret of his own went on to garner Rs 220 crore worldwide. The film featured Tamil cinema bigwig Kamal Haasan alongwith Shekhar Kapoor, Pooja Kumar, Jaideep Ahlawat and Andrea Jeremiah.
Dasavathaaram (Tamil, 2008)
Another Tamil film starring Kamal Haasan and directed by KS Ravikumar, Dasavathaaram is the story of two men fighting for control over a deadly weapon and, on a parallel track, is the story for religious supremacy back in the 15th century (between followers of Shiva and Vishnu). The film was a blockbuster too fetching Rs 200 crore in global collections.
Not just that, both movies No Rajamouli, No shankar, No ARR, No Aishwarya Rai,Quote:

opening is about the genre of the movie .. which actor's family movie without commercial elements got a big opening ??
Thoongavanam will get a big opening .. thats also medium budget only.. but genre matters..
