KSR has been very honest so far. It is a short-term project, he did his best and I would not blame him!

Just check what are the theaters included in chennai..in that SPI cinemas,Luxe,inox,pvr always it will be good on week-ends with number of shows..5.3C so far in chennai..enthrian collected 15C in chennai and this folks projected the movie equal to enthiran and sold the distribution rights more than enthiran..with more movies releasing on christmas its hard to collect 9C overall in chennai..Quote:

Pisasu getting good reviews and the total collection of the movie will be 1/4th of Lingaa collection for example but it will be called as hit..why? becoz of star value,budget and distribution rights..
Lol, I found this hilarious ,Attachment 3816
I am not believing anybody this time even the people those who claim lingaa is indeed a hit! :) Too much politics in media!Quote:

A tamil movie which had a record collection in overseas in the past two years and record collection in other states in the past two years is what Lingaa! But they make it look like something different. :)
IB times comedy..
****In its second weekend, "Lingaa" collected approximately ₹4.5 crore at the AP/N box office. With its 10-day total collection reaching ₹25 crore, the movie has recovered the investments of the distributors in both regions. While "PK" topped the business charts in Tollywood box office, "Lingaa" has landed at the second place.***
Seems like they are going to release in Hindi too! :)
****‘Lingaa’: Hindi version to release on Dec. 26, BO collection likely to soar more!
South superstar Rajinikanth starrer "Lingaa" released in Tamil and Telugu across India last Friday (12th December) and witnessed a smashing opening at the Southern Box office.
The Tamil and Telugu versions of Rajinikanth-Sonakshi Sinha-Anushka Shetty starrer ‘Lingaa’ witnessed 90 to 100% occupancy in both single screens and multiplexes on its opening day in the South and did exceptionally well business there.
The box office collection of Lingaa is expected to soar further later this month when its Hindi version will be released on december 26, 2014.
“In the South, it’s been phenomenal with ‘Lingaa’ release on Rajinikanth’s birthday. Massive numbers came in from there, but pan-India, it was low as the Hindi version releases only on December 26,” says exhibitor and film distributor, Akshaye Rathi.
The film collected approximately Rs 14 crore at the Andhra Pradesh and Nizam (AP/N) box office in the first weekend. The movie has collected Rs 6.5 crore at the AP/N box office in the first week of its release. The film’s Telugu version has raked in approximately Rs 20.50 crore in the weekdays in these two states .
Now that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s long-awaited ‘PK’ has released this Friday (december 19) all around the country, including in a record number of theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Nizam (AP/N), it will be interesting to see whether Thalaivar’s "Lingaa" will continue to maintain its hold in its second week.****
Thamiz , Thalaivar's below average movie is threatening Blocked busters of Marathi Cinema va ?:lol: sabash sariyana potti (just friendly reminder 60+ years Grandfather ya)
What an audacity US Distributors's have PK is 6 bucks in AMC and Malingaa is 15 bucks second week??
BTW what you think all these distributors / Theater owners will refuse screening thalaivar's next movie because of his track record?
Dilbert: The distributors want to make "easy money" by claiming a "loss". But, they will run into legal trouble if they act "unprofessional".
Nobody appreciated the fact that the movie is without violence, vulgarity and alcohol scenes.
:clap: yes your honor couldn't agree more. Except Camera chewing :lol:Quote:

சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் என்ற மாயை முடிவுக்கு வந்து விட்டது.
சென்னையில் எல்லா திரை அரங்குகளில் இருந்தும் லிங்கா படம் இந்த வாரத்தோடு அவுட்டு.
சந்திரமுகி பட விழாவில் நான் யானை இல்லை, குதிரை. விழுந்தாலும் எழுந்து விடுவேன் என்று கூறினார்.
லிங்காவின் படு தோல்விக்கு என்ன சொல்லப் போகிறார் என்று தெரியவில்லை.
Lingaa (hindi) version is hitting silver screens on Dec-26 as scheduled. It will be interesting to see how NI "appreciate" this movie! :)
Yes but the vendhar movies told the movie will pick up from Christmas,new year holiday..Even the common man knows that its impossible because of many movies lined up..even in big theaters shows reduced considerably in SPI cinemas from 40 shows to 15 now,mayajaal just 5 shows now,vertri theater in sub-urban 1 show..meanwhile KSR asked to wait for 100 days..i am sure if lingaa got positive reviews and movie is good then pisasu,x releases 4 movies would haven't happened and lingaa would have ruled till pongal..Quote:

It has collected a gross of 135 crores so far in which distribut0r share is 75 crores or so.
75 + 35 adds up to 110 crores.
110-100 crores = 10 crores
I see only profit here. ALREADY! :)
________________
The hindi release is yet to come out! :)
* Lingaa is still running in USA in select theaters. Rajini fans did not let Lingaa fall in US. It is a profitable venture in US. The same is true everywhere in overseas.. Let it be UK or Malaysia or singapore or middle east or Aus/NZ
* In KL Vendhar films released directly. Nobody complains there either
* KA/AP nobody complains either. Only the loser andhraboxoffice claims that it was SOLD SKY HIGH price. :lol: No distributor complains about the profit or loss.
* Only in TN that moron who does not have any professional ethics gave a bad publicity claiming that he lost money. He should not be given back a penny even if his claim is true. What he did was so "unprofessional"! It is against the law too! he should be punished for the bad publicity he gave!
Who is moron public need to know..recent interview from vendhar..he is saying more than 40 crore loss till now and till Christmas he is paying the theater rent in secret manner,after which he believe the movie will pick-up which is not going to happen because of many new releases already occupying the theaters from tomorrow and linga shows reduced a lot..edhai nambuvathu

Actually THE MISSING violence and vulgarity are the ones which made everybody unhappy, I guess!Quote:

Dilbert: Let us concentrate on +ve discussions!
I am really surprized Rajini is the boxoffice king in USA! After enthiran Lingaa is the next highest grosser in US!
Racegurram earned 60 crores (share) as a lifetime grosser! He claims that as a Blockbuster and claims that WW 4th highest collection for a Telugu movie!
Lingaa got a 75 crores (share) world wide collection in 10 days, this guy (andhraboxoffice) calims that it is not upto the mark. :lol:
I checked the BO collection for Tamil movies (other super *s from Tamil ) which were dubbed in Telugu, none of the movies made even close to Lingaa's collection. Robo is the only movie which could compete with Lingaa! :)
Sivaji was sold for 20 crores in AP. Lingaa was sold for how much??
oppari ungalukku illaena een ivlo sirama pattu munakuringa?Quote:

What is surprising about that ?? It has been the case since CM days isn't it? :) What is surprising for me is the fact, Canada has a massive Tamil population compared to USA , yet we don't hear any news about Canadian Box office with regards to Tamil movie ?Quote:
