I meant both NE and mid west. my bad...I am not sure about the big releases though....I feel they are definitely not on par with TX or CA...At the end of the day I guess it's all down to logistics.....
10AM Cinepolis Bangalore! :)
After a long time, aandavar movie is having a proper, un-interrupted and huge pre-release hype. Wide release, shows getting booked few mins after opening the counter, premier shows...Evvalavu naal aachu! Nenacha Pullarikkudhu!
the best thing is .. people know that this is a 2.52 hours long class movie, with kamal playing his age .. they know its going to be emotional .. right expectations are set here .. but namma makkal polambittu irunthaanga ..
still, kanchana2 is goin rock solid and in its 3rd week it will roughly give a 70% share to theatre owners .. but the new release uttama villain will give only 40% or less .. thats the problem here.. theatre guys can simply carry on minting money with kanchana2 without any additional investment that they have to put on UV .. and EROS' recent track record is a well known mega disaster .. but for these reasons, our theatre list would have been terrific like Vishwaroopam across TN .. now also, its very good for a medium budget class movie ..
And not being a big budget movie, if UV can manage double ROI, I'd call that a success. Nowhere I expect it to make Vishwaroopam level of collection or even Dasa for that matter.
I think it is being too paranoid to worry about Kanchana 2 etc. If that is really the case, this movie doesn't deserve the publicity. One can trust KH to have a better clout than K2.
The real challenge is from the likes of Avengers (releasing in the US now), OKK (carrying over strongly) and even Gabbar (Ramana remake). In the local theaters, they have announced timings and screens for Gabbar and still no news on UV. Very few screens/theaters left that host Tamil movies after K2, Gabbar and OKK having taken up the bunch of them.
pushpak....did u get insider info abt UV. confident ah irukingale
Thanks but only in Charlotte .. not in the Raleigh area.
Ok Kanmani is still there on Thu/Fri in the theater listed. Hope its in error ..

^ I saw the video just a couple of hours back....Didn't want to post it considering the frivolity involved....Some people just never learn...Its unfortunate it's these guys that proclaim themselves to be the sole bastions of their respective religions....Their religions deserve better
Don't think anything would come out of this.

Thundu Pottachi.............
Online reservations opened here in Roswell , Akash Cinemas (Metro Atlanta area). Thursday 06.30 pm
Could not get the Premier show of 5.30 pm though.
watching First day of a movie after several years.
Going with lower expectations similar to fellow hubbers Venkkiram, Anban, Radiochandra, irir and others.
if the movie turned out to be a class + Mass appeal genre like thevar magan then will watch at least a few times in theatres in other decent screens as well.
On a side note , any hubbers representing the GATS area watching the movie on Thursday or before sunday ?
Let us celebrate the mood and wish goodluck for a great run
A bunch of Jokers getting media attention for the first time.
This time the Political wands cannot make it . So called Hinduism upholding parties all have dwindled after last election with a clear wash out and they have nothing much to say like sandiyar saga or for that matter thevar samacharam!!!!
One day they can show their faces on television , free episode and with higher TRPs......... clowns of the day.
Nothing was abstract with the prahalada depiction or the Hiranya nadagam. Morons take the online/one word to brude and paint bigger pictures..............
we should just ignore and move on
you nailed it h_h
I still know that Kamal is the King of opening both with mass + class.
Vetri Vizha was one such opening I witnessed in Bangalore in the late 80s. Not to mention SKV, Kakki Sattai, Nayagan, even Japannil Kalyanaraman opened in several screens during its release. Those days the theatre owners and exhibitors had a nexus and would not reveal the actual collections nor did they keep count of tickets sold. we had over flow crowd watching movie at the side ways , doors were kept open and all across crowd watch and would give a feeling there would be a stampede if things went out of control.
I still remember the screen tore when they tossed hundreds of coins at Lakshmi theatre near ulsoor (halasuru now). I witnessed a fabulous opening for "Chanakyan" as well and this time it was Sree theatre just opposite to Lakshmi. Pallavi , Urvashi, Nataraj , Lavanya used to sell out for almost 3 to 4 days of the opening week only with advance booking starting with Balcony, upper and middle seats and left open just the few rows of front seats which was anyways a fraction of the revenue. only later for a few years Super star ruled the roost with Post Dalapathi, Annamalai. It was only Kamal movies that crossed 100 days on probably a hundred occasions. Several of kamals Telugu ventures have done 100 days at Urvashi and pallavi . Come on ! who else has such a record in India with multi languages and all the territories .
I bet no one can come close to him

Papanasam trailer at 6 30 pm.
More than anything .... it indicates a june release. Ore iravu launch in hyderabad on may 25.
Its right timing..initial target for any movie trailer is for their fans..And by this time with UV releasing tommorrow kamal fans will be active to know each and every news about kamalhaasan..so all the kamal fans will watch Papanasam trailer,producers are smart here..
I know ppl like you dont expect papanasam but its going to be sure winner among family audience..June is the right time considering shcool re-opens and very less movies will be released with no big releases as well..even though school re-opens its not exam time..perfect time..
