I am just comparing his youth vs family base ... Though family base might be good on its own , youth/family ratio is lower compared to others due to factors like lack of tv interviews / appearances , "thala" / "dada" branding .. But todays youth base will be tomorrows family base ... And if they implement the first two weeks ticket hike rule , ajith will benefit the most in the industry ...
Coming to Mankatha , my house is behind jayathi and opposite thiyagaraja ... They just removed the movie last week ... didnt see much family audience ... The previous hit movie here was kanchana ... Sema ladies crowd ..
I guess multiplex family crowd must have contributed heavily to those numbers ..
If ajith gives attention to family crowd , he will eat other youth heroes alive ..

etrukolgiren...na sunday sathyathula pakkumbodhu..fulla family audience dhan..i dont think family audience will avoid Ajith movies and go for other star movies...entertaining movies kudutha Ajith,surya,vijay ellame onnudhan...but youth contribute to the opening,mass...that decides star power of an actorngradhu ennoda karuthu..:)
Consistent performance all over the world. Now can we safely say Mankatha is the 4th highest grosser in TFI history.
Malaysia BO mattum consider panna pothuma... .. Chennai ,Bangalore,Kerala,Hyd,UK Box office-la Mankatha is next to En/Siv/Dasa.US/Canada-la kooda 3 times higher opening than other 2011 releases,though there is no overall collection from that territory.
Singam,Mankatha's My BO difference is 2.80Cr....
athai CBO kooda tally pannikkalam... ;) Singam Overall CBO-5.38Cr and Mankatha 7.38Cr
It is not guess work ...it is from trade trackers....

Looks like Vijay has a good following in UK. Even his crap movies have managed to touch 1C. Rangalathulayum oru kudhookalam.. :happydance:
Aegan movie list laye varaatha alavukku sms campaign panni uzhaichi irukaanga :lol:.
but yet another shock about Adhavan .. that movie has got a super opening outside India .. :wtf: Uk and Malaysia also ..
kansamy :shock:
sivaji :shock:
dasavatharam :shock:
mankatha :shock:
aadhavan - Suriya :)
kandhasamy - Vikram :)
if you ask me, none of these five movies are worthy of the BO, but makkal theerppu mahEsan theerppaachE ;)
neenga thaan naan partha muthal hardcore Suriya pann:yessir:
Overseas-la commercial movies mattum than success aakuthu... My,Uk ella idamum ore mathiriyana result than.. star's movies thavira vera entha movies-um saleable illa... small budget small movies-kku ippathan orlavu screens-ye kidaikkuthu...
Sivaji, Dasa ellam oodakkoodiya / ooda vendiya commercial entertainers..
mankatha, aadhavan, kansamy ellam :evil:
as a Kamal fan, I am ashamed of Dasa... better hide it away from public view :evil:
Tamilnadu audience always give the deserved result to the movies ... ;) kansamy and aadhavan not a big hit in TN ...
RR, clubbing mankatha with other 2 movies :twisted: commercial entertainers atleast oru set of audience-aavathu satisfy pannanum ...mankatha did that not other two....
Haven't seen Kandasamy but Aadhavan is in a league of its own. Peerless. It's a crime to bracket it with the others mentioned here
adhuvum oru karuththu siva...
while i am truly happy for ajith, the fact that it is a terrible movie cannot be changed. calling it decent is indecent :lol2:
and also proves your theory wrong. :p
now we are back to the beginning.. all the top five movies listed up there DO NOT deserve to be there, but what to do, they are there... onnum panna mudiyaadhu...
AND TN makkal are not any different in celebrating crappy commercial movies
நெஞ்சு பொறுக்குதில்லையே ..... இந்த நிலை கெட்ட மாந்தர்களை நினைந்துவிட்டால்
