Kollywood Top Guns Blaze into Kerala Box Office
PALAKKAD/CHENNAI: In the days leading to the release of Vijay’s film Kaththi, there was barely any publicity in Tamil Nadu, given the protests and uncertainty over the film’s release.
But just across State lines to the West, it was a completely different ball game: posters lined the streets, flex banners marked theatres and a whole train was plastered with the movie’s posters and ran through the length of Kerala before reaching Mangalore. Over the last few years, the reception for Tamil movies for A-list heroes like Rajinikanth, Vijay, Ajith and Kamal has been so enormous that distributors have been known to even push Malayalam films from clashing with these at the box office.
The aggressive marketing by Tamil films coupled with the changing audience attitude have resulted in many of the releases running to packed houses in Kerala.
In many interior towns of the State, especially in border areas, publicity of top Tamil stars is often bigger and better than that of their Malayalam counterparts Mohanlal and Mamootty. From special fan shows to ‘paal abhishekhams’ by fan clubs, there is little that separates it from a release in Tamil Nadu.
K Shibu of Thameems Pictures, one of Kerala’s biggest distributors, explained that this added demand has driven the cost up by several notches. “We released Kaththi in 192 screens and have made an enormous amount of money.
Publicity is vital — we spend close to `45-50 lakh on it alone,” he said. Thameem, who handles most of Vijay’s releases in Kerala, is so invested in the actor that he is co-producing his next film with director Chimbudevan.
P Sreekumar, proprietor of Remya movies, which released several Tamil films in the State, said the distribution rights of a film like Kaththi would have cost 3.75 crore. And it would appear to have paid off. Trade sources said that of the 100 crore that Kaththi has crossed in the 12 days since its release, close to 10.25 crore is from God’s Own Country.

'Kaththi' Box Office (Kerala): Vijay's Film Makes Enormous Collections in God's Own Country:
Vijay's "Kaththi" has made huge collections at the Kerala box office. According to trade sources, the film has reportedly minted close to ₹10.25 crore in 12 days in the God's own country, according to a report.
Kerala is one of the strong markets for Tamil films. Films of big stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay and Suriya take good openings at Kerala box office and continue to perform well if they manage to get good reviews.
Vijay's last release "Jilla" was a humongous hit at the box office. The presence of Malayalam actor Mohanlal was a big boost for the film and it released in record 200 screens in the state. The film took grand openings and emerged as Vijay's biggest hit in the state.
Following the stupendous success of "Jilla," the Kerala distributors of "Kaththi" released the film in good number of screens. Promotional activities helped the film get positive pre-release buzz in the state. Talking about the publicity, distributor Shibu of Thameems Pictures said, "We released Kaththi in 192 screens and have made an enormous amount of money. Publicity is vital — we spend close to ₹45-50 lakh on it alone," according to The New Indian Express .
The film opened on a fantastic note and reportedly minted around ₹1.95 crore on the first day. Although the Vijay starrer registered good collections, it failed to beat "Jilla" opening day collections.
"Kaththi" has managed to continue its good run at the box office in the last two weeks and has minted around ₹10 crore. The Vijay starrer has reportedly surpassed "Thuppakki" collections and is expected to do decent business in its third week at the Kerala box office.
Meanwhile, Vijay has shifted his focus on his next project – "Vijay 58" – which is all set to go on floors on 10 November. A huge set is being erected in Chennai for the film's shooting. Hansika and Shruti Haasan play the female leads, while Sridevi and Kannada actor Sudeep are also part of the film's cast.
On the other, "Kaththi" director Murugadoss has commenced work on his next project – a female-oriented Bollywood film with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/kaththi-box...country-613331
