It isn't about if the movie will reach a milestone if it is released now. It is about setting that milestone when it is released. Billa failed to do it and Thuppaki did it.

Grey, Lets stop it here. No use.

I really liked the way Mankatha and Arambam were nonchalantly added along with Thuppakki in one of the posts :)Quote:

Arambham's true BO performance was discussed in year-closing Tamil Talkies and Indiaglitz videos late 2013. No Vijay fan ever posted those videos here.
Radhika's tweet for a pretty straightforward question on Mankatha's total BO collections was also straight forward. No room for debate.
Parthy,
Hi buddy
The intention of pulling Mankatha and Radhika's tweet is not to taunt but usually in response to some outrageous posts. See, here is one example. Hope you will understand.
The point here is Velayudham made as much a business as Mankatha. But one is a 'genuine blockbuster and the other is a 'average/flop' venture. Kavalan, for the budget and the low 'pre-business' thanks to Sura was a Super-hit.Quote:

Aarambam 100C projection was failed. So now the only way is either bring down Thuppaki or use inflation adjusted calcualtions.
Simple ..if one actor average movie collection == other actor blockbuster paathukunga ...Quote:

//Some people don't rate Vijay's commercial movies and that is fine// - As if they are giving cult classics :lol:.
Yes yes. Even his above average or the so called flops are still enjoyable to watch. I even adore Udhaya.Quote:

It's very evident from the day of release that some vested interests were just waiting for the release, so that they could start spreading negative rumours about Jilla. After the premier shows and after the morning shows on Friday, few of these self proclaimed reviewers were all over giving biased and negative reviews. It didn't manage to do the damage that was intended is a different matter. Jilla doing well in the 2nd week despite mixed reviews is purely due to Vijay's star power. And yes, Mohanlal's presence obviously did have an impact.
So called Bad film billa2 opening day gros was biger thn universal hit murugados directd tupaki.so :lol: doesnt make sense hereQuote:

Are you seriously judging a movies hit with the opening day? One of the main reason behind that huge opening was due to the name. Everyone went to see the movie mainly due to Billa and then Ajith.

Good that nobody is talking about adjusting Ghilli's collection as per inflation. It will be something unthinkable even for Vijay now. For the first time I saw a non Rajni movie running in all screens of Udhayam/Rohini and it was Ghilli. I havent witnessed any such thing after that. PHENOMENAL is a word which will least describe that success. Hence buddies, please stop comparing it with other movies. Its a crime. Its the first movie to cross the 50 C mark and that was 10 yrs ago. And those were not the days of 'Carpet bombing'. Movies purely ran on word of mouth and screen count was directly proportional to the crowd.
Madhura's above expected run and Kuruvi's below expected run can be attributed to only one film - Ghilli.
:wave: thanks for making me understand the level of inflation in India.Quote:

I'm sorry if I messed up the order of the names I wrote :roll: You can take it as how you want but it is an undeniable fact that Billa 2 received that grand opening because of both Billa and AJithQuote:

Guys, Request not to degrade their movie content / Ajith *.. It's up to individuals whether they like a movie or not. They enjoy Ajith and his movies because they have something in it. That's the same thing we do.
Problem here is few of them wants us to agree whatever they say and label us as whatever they want when we dont agree.
* - Until it is not necessary.
I have heard this from many Madras people during that time. That's the reason I keep on insisting that we wont get another Ghilli and we should stop the comparison. Thuppaki has taken over that now. But still Ghilli is :smokesmirk: :notworthy:.Quote:

If sources are to be believed Vijay might work in three films in 2014. Yes, by February Vijay will start shooting for AR Murugadoss film which is slated for August release. After Murugadoss film Vijay will start his projected with Chimbu Devan which will commence from September,mean time as we said earlier director Atlee is in talks with Vijay and also Vijay himself has asked Suseenthiran to work on a script for him.Sources say if all goes as per plan Vijay might start either Atlee or Suseenthiran's project in December. It is also said that Vijay has also given his nod for Sasikumar's project in 2015.
The above article proves how meticulous and well planned Vijay is. Having a line of sight for almost 4 of his next directors says a lot about his discipline at work. Excellent trait to have. No wonder everyone who works with him talks about his amazing time management skills. Cheers!!
10 Reasons Why ‘Vijay is the King Of Kollywood’
Firstly , I would like to clarify that this post is not against Ajith , Suriya or any other competitors of Vijay. We accept that Ajith and Suriya are two magnificent actors in the industry who are amazing in their own way. But , when it comes to picking one from many , we would go with ‘Vijay’. Here’s why we feel that Vijay Is The King Of Kollywood :
http://gossipsgalore.com/wp-content/...93-300x224.jpg
1>You don’t need Filmfare Awards to win People’s Hearts :
Yes ! Ajith , Suriya and all others have Filmfare Best Actor Awards while Vijay doesn’t have one , but awards aren’t everything. Vijay has an ‘X Factor’ to win people’s hearts , maybe his charm or his engaging presence when he’s On-Screen. He has all other attributes of comical skills,dancing skills,unique style , romance and smartness to win people’s hearts. There maybe actors more talented that vijay , but vijay is certainly the most skilled.
2>Vijay Is The King Of Box Office
One remarkable feat of vijay is his proficiency to Rule the Box Office. If Rajinikanth is the Emperor of Box Office then Vijay is probably the King of Box Office. It could be easily proved by one of his latest flicks ‘Thupakki”. Below is the list of Highest Grossing Indian Movies where Thupakki has its place while no other tamil movie apart from endhiran has a place. While Ajith and Suriya fans could come up with some reports claiming that their movies has a better Box Office , we know for a fact that Wikipedia’s Source is far more reliable than any other source.
http://gossipsgalore.com/wp-content/...2-1024x548.jpg
3>Vijay – the one with the largest Fan base
Well , unless you have a large fan base it’s not possible to achieve Box Office success.I have already enclosed his Thupakki’s Box Office success . Now , I would like to show some articles from reliable sources such as The Hindu , Facebook and Google. While Google and Facebook says that Vijay is the most searched South Indian Actor , The Hindu says it’s Vijay who has the largest fan base after Rajinikanth in Tamil Nadu . One can also check the number of results in google for the keyword ‘Actor Vijay’ where he easily defeats his competitors.

http://gossipsgalore.com/wp-content/..._n-254x300.jpg
http://gossipsgalore.com/wp-content/..._n-300x232.jpg4>Multi-talented
Vijay has got variety of skills such as acting , fighting , emoting , singing and dancing . Apart from his acting , Vijay is well known for his Dancing Ability and these days more of a singer. He clearly has a good discography and his recent performances as a playback singer for songs like Google Google(Thupakki) and Vaangana Vanakangana(Thalaiva) have become Viral and extraordinary hits.When it comes to Multitasking Vijay is certainly The King.
5>Vijay who’s completely open to new directors
When you are such a big star , how many of you have the courage to sign a new project with a new director ? Well , this man has the courage for it. Right from the 90′s , in his movies such as Love today , Thulladha Manamum Thullum to movies such as Thirupachi and Vettaikaran , Vijay always had the courage to work with new directors. Agreed , ‘Thala Ajith’ has the courage for it too but Suriya? He is the one of those actors who’s totally dependent on big directors. He can deliver a hit only with the likes of K.V.Anand , A.R.Murgadoss , K.S.RaviKumar , Hari , Gautham Menon .etc
6>Vijay: The Brand Image
Right from endorsing brands such as Coca Cola , Jos Alukkas , Tata Docomo etc. Vijay has always had a better Brand Image than his competitors and more appeal for commercials. He was also signed up as a Brand Ambassador for the IPL team Chennai Super Kings. Be it a movie or an Advert he has always been ready to emote (With the Likes of his latest Jos Alukkas Ads).
7>Socially Good Films
We all know Vijay sticks with movies that are more often socially good ones. Whereas , Ajith ? With Billa , Billa2 and Mankatha ? Agreed , that no Kollywood actor could play a Baddie as good as Ajith does(Hats off to him for that). But still opting for a movie where the hero plays a Baddie may not be welcomed by all. And now that leads me to my next point.
8>Vijay – The Family Entertainer
Having said that Ajith plays a baddie often , his movies often contain a lot of drinking , smoking , dancing & obscene scenes with ladies which might not be welcomed by the family audiences(and the number of censored words in Mankatha is too damn high). Most of the ajith fans are ‘youth’ who are eager for movies like Mankatha (or) Billa where the hero plays a baddie.Even if he doesn’t play a baddie , becoming as successful as vijay in a classical movie is a Big Question. Whereas Vijay is very much welcomed and loved by family audiences. His movies like Sachein , Nanban , Kadhalukku Mariyadhai etc have always been family oriented . And dealing with brother- sister emotions are often considered as typical vijay movies which still works for him. There’s no doubt that he’s a family entertainer!
9>Love Him or Hate Him but you just can’t ignore him
Be it a Ajith movie or a surya movie that has been newly released , the first and constant comparison would always be only with a Vijay movie. Have we seen anyone comparing Maatran(or)7aam Arivu with Mankatha(or)billa2 ? Noo . . But , Mankatha(or)Billa2 , 7aam Arivu(or)Maatran were always compared with Velayudham(or)Thupakki. They Say If you Wana be the best? Then you gotta take out the best and that’s the reason why every other movie is thrown in comparison with one and only vijay movies. Love him or Hate Him it’s just not possible to ignore him , especially at the Box Office.
10>Vijay is the king of kollywood
Now let’s sum it up. .Ajith and Surya lose the battle when it comes to box office , multitasking , stardom. While ajith fails as a family entertainer , surya fails when it comes to success with new directors. Vijay is undoubtedly the king of box office after Rajinikanth , his feat achieved by Thupakki is still not achieved by any of his competitors (neither Ajith nor Surya). Vijay is barely challenged by any lead actors when it comes to multitasking ( possibly Silambarasan but he is no match to vijay at box office). And most reliable sources of Google , facebook , Hindu too favour Vijay for largest fan base and most searched kollywood.
And hence ”The Final Verdict – Vijay is the King Of Kollywood”
