gives some big numbers for this movie in 3 days...Is it really true?
For e.g., in one theater it says it got 14 lacs from 3 days...assuming average 4 shows a day even with 1000 seats, the average ticket cost should be > Rs 100...Is movie going so expensive in Chennai nowadays?
ANNIYAN is a super dooper hit. Looks like CM and Anniyan will be the biggest hits of the year...... :thumbsup:
There is no doubt 'anniyan' will get a first round collections but the big question is --Is there enough in that movie for the repeat audience and family audience. Otherwise, by second week, we may see a different trend.
Let's see.
And, the initial costs are also so high for this movie and so, the first 30-35 crores means only just 'break-even' unlike CM which had cost only in single digit crores [0-9] in the making and hence, the profit margin is staggering!
I don't think 'anniyan' will come any way nearer.
I like Vikram and Shankar too[part of my name!], so, dont brand me as a hate-fan! I am just expressing my thoughts.
Yes it is app_engine :(Quote:

Hmmm.... all this started with 'Aalavandhan' when kamal went and spoke with JJ to allow the theatre owners to fix the ticket rate as they like for the first few weeks to meet the enormous cost/expenses for making the movies.
Who asked them to spend so much.
Take for anniyan- the cost of 28 crores. director shankar gets 5 crores and vikram gets 3 crores. they have spent 20 crores on other useless things i believe [ like taking HJ to phuket islands to score music. apdi enna kizhichitaaru anga poi karpanai ooththuchakkum :lol:]

As for me i try keeping away from theatres for the first few weeks except its a Rajni, kamal or IR movie :wink:

TISK,
I completely agree with you.
Sify is over exagerating! Infact its hyper inflation!
Prolly They doing cause shankar was on sify chat!
Oh and Shankar answered two of my questions. And the answer to one of those questions is the title of the chatlink! Cool eh!!!!!
Anyway going to ur point. Exactly , No way anniyan could beat CM. First reason the budjet. Second reason being, the movie doesnt seem to have impressed the C audience at all. And It doesnt have Repeat value. I def wont see the movie a second time at the theaters! Its too long, and isnt as gripping as his other longer movies like Indian!
Anniyan creating history in NJ also. Today I want to the show and its pretty much full. This is second day of the week and people dont go to movies on week=days, but still the house is full (I could sit only in the 6th row from first!). CM also had the same rush.I read in some site today that it already made 35 crore for the producer!. So he has nothing to loose!
Any film which has been eagerly expected will get a good opening. Inorder to sustain the collection 'C' Centre audience is required.Otherwise the movie is an also ran.
Saw the movie.Was OK.But I will not have the patience sitting for three hours again. Also MSP(Multiple Split Personality)is not at all understood by the majority. Read the reviews from the below URL

No matter how much u spend as long as the Screenplay is not gripping the repetitive value of the film is gone.In Anniyan many of the questions(read the reviews) has not been answered properly.The result is a film with excellent production values without a good screenpaly which shankar (was) good(Gentleman,Indin,Mudhalvan) at if not excellent.
The expectation of the public for the stature of Shankar is very high. Inorder to satisfy that a director needs to address it with a gripping novel storyline(not a rehashed one). The picture will be a hit but never in the league of CM which is simple family entertainer without breathtaking visuals.
The moral is that the public needs a good cinema.
They will see again and again if they find it simple and good. Also if it is a magnum opus they will flock to see it.But the content of the picture must be simple(understandable) and not a complex one.It is the duty of the director to make the complex logic easily understandable by the public.In this part, ANNIYAN has failed miserably.
yo guys.....im yet to watch the movie....but here is my fren's review....
according to him the movie by far is shankar worse....read on...
A Gentleman, an Indian and a Ramana all mixed together, added with liberal doses of violence and cruelty, interspersed with the generous exploitation of the naval architecture of Sadha, a titillating dance number by Yana Gupta, an almost boring theory of split personality, a leaf out of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, copying the anagram effect from Da Vinci Code, 'replicating' the Matrix Reloaded fight sequence graphics and a monumental waste of public money (IDBI has funded over Rs.12 Crores)- all of this culminating to one Anniyan, which I would love to see have a mega failure. Not just because I hate such movies but because I strongly feel that such movie producers should have a re-think that just visual richness at a phenomenal cost without any good theme and with gruesome scenes cannot succeed. None of the songs was good and were nothing but pollution to the ear. Vikram has done okay - but he always seems to be 'working' so hard at his acting. Vikram's acting potential has been exploited nicely in the one scene where he is 'tortured'. Prakash Raj and Nedumudi Venu have done their jobs fairly well. Vivek's comedy is stale as yesterday's sambar. Sadha was a total dissapointment.
It's original only if you haven't read a novel or watched an English serial in the last 20 years. The basic story line is a bit of Indian - I guess somehow the director realizes that was his best movie and pretty much has no other real ideas. Once again the graphics etc are on for show-off and the stunts are terribly bad - only serving to distract from the movie rather than add any value to it. Forget the absolute loss of logic regarding scene staging as the movie proceeds, the incredible lack of tempo in the first half, the bloated and expensive, but unimaginative pictured songs... and do we need another protagonist who goes after society because of a personal disaster. In the end, Shankar's pretending to provide social commentary without providing any genuine or realistic solutions or even intelligent analysis is insulting. Someone ask him to watch Mudhalvan, Gentleman or Indian again. Take a hint from the director he used to be! It's extremely sad to see one of india's finest director's make a bad film such as this and destroying his good reputation. Boys was miles better then this and at least it didin't pretend like this turkey which as arrived to early before thanksgiving!
Very very disappointing.
