True Dammy......let's focus on Vijay and Vijay only :)

BTW did you see Sreedhar Pillai's post about Holiday joining the 100 C club.

Remember @ARMurugadoss's #Ghajini (Hindi) was the 1st film 2 start Rs 100 Cr club. Now his 2nd film #Holiday has joined the exclusive club

The tweet is crystal clear right?

Pillai is referring to ARM's first hindi movie Ghajini and his second hindi movie Holiday......Both are in the 100 C club. Did ARM direct anything in-between 1 and 2 in Hindi, possibly a 1.1?

Yes Cedy, it is indeed in crystal clear straight English language without any hidden meaning-Dot. I know what you're referring to...2-3 people not accepting facts will not change the truth in anyway...all I can say is..this insecurity about Vijay's success and praises etc...that insecurity ennaku romba puduchirku..andha bayam irkanumda

But anyway as I said..let's just focus on making Vijay40 as positive as possible.

One more of Sudhish Kamanth's articles on Vijay in the early 2000's, this time about the impact of Brand Vijay on Brand Coca-cola.

Things go better for Coke with Vijay

A film by Rajiv Menon.

Music by Harris Jeyaraj.

Choreography: Raju Sundaram.

Starring Vijay.

And of course, Coke.

HAVEN'T YOU seen it yet? The new Coke commercial that has Vijay breaking into a `gaana' after finding the culturals boring, and also wooing the girl, filmi style before the jingle signs off in native lingo: `Koka-kola ensoi'.

``Coke kudi da, Rap Enna da, Gaanavillae Kalakkalaam,'' goes Coca-Cola's latest anthem, and a regional one at that. Coke has signed Vijay for a year-long contract, after a survey revealed that he is the ``No.1 actor'' around in the South.

The Coke version is that it always has superstars endorsing the brand-Aamir, Hrithik, Aishwarya, Karisma and the like. And now Vijay, because he would help them reach more fans across the country, given his popularity here.

They claim that Ajit and Madhavan aren't really as popular as Vijay in the districts across Tamil Nadu. Partly true, if you go by the `rasikar manrams' tradition.

Apparently, Coke is working with the `rasikar manrams' of Vijay as well. Vijay's fans would take posters of their idol (with Coke) and have them all over cinema halls across the state for promoting his latest flick, `Badri'.

Earlier, Coke only had a promotional tie-up with the Vijay- starrer `Priyamaanavalae'. Not that they would be promoting every Vijay film now like Pepsi has been doing with Madhavan.

Vijay seemed to be very thrilled getting to work with Rajiv Menon in the course of shooting for the Coke commercial, shot at the NIFT campus, Hyderabad, in 2 days time.

He found the experience of shooting for an ad film surprising on how it manages to weave a ``kutti story'' of boy- wooing-girl with dance and `gaana', along with the persuasive element of Coke's communication and brand visibility, in a span of 45-60 seconds.

``It is not a simple thing. I was surprised. I don't know if I would do an ad again, but this one would be unforgettable,'' he told mediapersons at the press conference on Wednesday.


Ask him about his flair for `gaanas' (given the fact that he has a few songs to his credit as a singer) and Vijay confesses that he had not learnt singing formally. Doing an ad for the very first time was risk enough, singing the `gaana' as well would have been a bigger risk, he said. Looking at the ad now, Vijay did feel that he could have done better. The news for Vijay fans is that the keychain that he passes on to the girl during the dance, displays his real-life personal mobile number.

Those who spot the mobile number and call would have a surprise waiting for them (No, Vijay wouldn't answer the call, if that is what you think the surprise is).

The questions from mediapersons continued. Someone wanted to know about the role he plans to play in politics. He didn't quite seem to know what hit him as he washed his hands off the issue saying that he didn't have anything to do with politics and that he didn't know what politics was all about.

``I just know two people in the political circles. One is Mr. Stalin, the other Mr. Karunanidhi, that too, because I have met them. I know them as nice people. Beyond this, I have nothing to do with the `katchi','' he said.

The down-to-earth star, was pretty candid and gentle in all his answers, feeling at home talking in Tamil. When he was asked if he would do more commercials, endorse other products, he apologetically said, ``Theriyillainga'' and discreetly declined to divulge any details about the financial aspects of the endorsement deal with Coke.

The ad premiered on Thursday. Catch the catchy `gaana'. And `Ensoi'.

That is so true..he has never even claimed his command and popularity. Infact he said there can be only one superstar. ..he never claimed to be one. He has answered all his critics through hard work.

On a lighter note..I loved that adipodis adjective. There are a few that can classified into that category. Lol.

உன்தோல்வி படங்களை கண்டு சிரித்தவர்களை விடவெற்றி பெற்றபடங்களை கண்டு பயந்தவர்கள்தான் அதிகம்..:smokesmirk:

Kushi was the first Vijay film that I saw at the cinemas.I was is in my 9th std then. The movie was closing in towards it's 75th day run when I saw it at Sangam with my father. It was followed by Piriyamanavale and then Friends. I had become a Vijay fan gradually during this phase and saw Badhri as a true blue Vijay fan. Still remember those days when I used to watch Neengal Ketta Padal in Sun tv just to see how many people told Vijay was their favourite actor :) Have seen all his films at the cinemas from Kushi till Jilla barring Udhaya and Sukran(if you may include it as a Vijay starrer).
Have not liked all his movies but definitely loved his presence in almost every film.Why I became his fan? Tough to decipher it to any single reason.But one quality that instantly made me take a liking to him was the way he responded to questions on why he continues doing similar commercial movies. Most of the times the answer was straightforward and more about accepting his limitations rather than mincing words. It was always either 'I think this route suits me better', ' I am not made for performance oriented roles' or 'I am doing the type of films that I enjoyed watching'. The fact that he comes as a package that provides wholesome entertainment is his major draw. Among his peers I feel his comic timing is what attracts me to him. I surely feel that a member from the general audience would any day be able to easily sit through a bad vijay film compared to that of his peers.
His attempt at politics? I do not like but that is his personal choice. Sometimes even the worst can happen for the best. Despite being an eminently forgettable movie I still feel that the Sura debacle is what has resulted in a sea change in Vijay's choice of films ever since. None of his 6 films after Sura have disappointed me greatly. While Nanban and Thuppakki are right at the top the other four had their fair share of moments despite being a little up and down.

Eagerly awaiting Katthi and hope he continues his fine form.

A strong reason for starting to like Vijay is because of my father. Right from days of '' Friends '' he used to take me to theatres only to Vijay movies... There's a secret fan in him and he'd never admit it. Once there was a powercut in night & we landed for Pokkiri night show. When i was watching Rohit hit 200, he'd ask me to switch to Thuppakki premiere in Vijay TV... Such was his secret admiration to Vijay. The best part was Ghilli... It was in his workplace that everyone were raving about Ghilli & he'd wanted to see if it was worth their praise.. So he took me to watch the film nearly 75 days after it's release... After the film he was astonished by the turnout for a scorching weekend noonshow and remarked he'd never expected such a big crowd for the film.

While waiting for the Vettaikaran outside theatre, i was seeing some fanmade wall posters... One fan near me, remarked about one poster & how Vijay's smiling face was so adorable and magnetic that he'd come just to witness that face onscreen for odd 3 hrs...

You guys rock :)

Keep 'em coming :)
