ejjattly! i was only sharing what i could recollect from my memories - pre-1978 memories are not vivid as i was too small - nammakku gyabagam irundhadha vacchu sonnaen! and of course my opinion of FDFS adulation - nothing wrong in it, so far as it does not affect others - there are makkals all over the world, who would do anything for their favorite rockstars, popstars etc etc - so idhuvum adhula serthhi - avvalo thaanQuote:

IRIR, Don't you see the difference between - movie was a hit / good response VS amali thumali / traffic jam (not sounding condescending). So you are caught there :-) And you hide behind a lame post searching for cover.
sooper. i never knew - my nakkals back into my naakku.Quote:

no more postings on this subject - the 'amali dumalis' were real and not just imagined!
ippo prachinayae adhu illa...
friends'oda sendhu frequent visits to aavin paal shop?? :shock:
IMO , Few movies BO status were always taken in Vacha kudumi adicha mottai way ..As far as I know Mahanathi , Guna , Kuruthipunal had recent run in many towns ,but generally termed as flops ..I was in Trichy when Mahanathi released and it ran not less than 85 days in Maris Rock ..Guna ran for 90 days in nagercoil (not even a city) ,so no surprise it ran for 100 days .. Kuruthupunal BO is underrated just by comparing with Muthu , otherwise It was a decent hit .
One last post - amali thumali is a term used by 'fanboys' who you seem to completely detest. You would mainly see fanboys talk about BO / traffic jam etc., the ones who do anything for their star, waste time on unproductive activities and what not. And I found you using those fanboy-only terms funny, that is all to it. I don't doubt the BO success of any of the films you have mentioned, that is not the point - really.
This is just a general karuththu. And our *one-off* personal experiences can't make facts. For e.g. I saw Thenali 2nd day morning show and Maris 70MM was only half-full (Thenali was considered a huge hit) and PKS couple of weeks after its release, again weekend morning show and the theater was housefull. And PKS is considered a moderate hit.
