habitual sleeplessness; inability to sleep.

"I've tried every wild remedy for insomnia, including cinnamon baths and standing on my head"
Yes, Insomnia must be the name of the club
I know what it means, Cinema, but I was wondering if it exists.
Just a night club set created for ThoongavanamQuote:

i would have the same feeling had the remake is from known sources and many have seen the original. this movie is not even an english movie. nobody has seen it. so leave aside that prejudice and enjoy the roller-coaster ride.
thats going to happen for sure! ரிலீஸ் டைம்ல அந்த கொண்டாட்ட மூட்/மனநிலை ஆட்டொமேட்டிக்கா வந்துடும்! அதாவது, படத்தை விடுங்க, ஒரு பேட்டி கூட, தலைவரைப்போல சுவாரசியமா தர யாரு இருக்கா இங்க? He IS, "T H E B E S T" Content Generator for me, in whole of India! அப்படி இருக்கும்போது, ஒரு 3 மணிநேர முழுப்படம் எப்படி நம்ம ஆர்வத்தை தூண்டாம போயிடும்?!? :D :D
If positive box office results are needed, it is best to go with someone else's story. If KH can be convinced about someone else's story only when it is already made and demonstrated in some other language, so be it. Still better.
You have a point there .. Nammavar's own scripts have only a 50-50 hit rate. The issue is connecting to all people - not just fans. VR, Dasa were big and did it but UV, MX, MA didn't.Quote:

dont agree with 50-50 concept for KH . that can happen to any director's idea. BB/super hit/hit/ave/flop ratio of nammavar's script should be in the vicinity of 20/30/30/10/10
According to some distributors Thoongavanam is going to be released on Novmber 6...
Same source says it is going to be released by "Rajkamal" banner as well...
Thoonga Vanam - Going to get an opening like Vetri Vizha
The BB's/Hit movies you listed out that did well are about 25 years old. If we were to go back about 10 years, even including Virumaandi, the hit rate comes to about 50%.Quote:

2004 Virumaandi Virumaandi Hit
2004 Vasool Raja MBBS Hit (remake)
2005 Mumbai Express Flop
2006 Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu Hit (known director)
2008 Dasavathaaram Hit (Ravi Kumar, Kamal)
2009 Unnaipol Oruvan Average (remake)
2010 Manmadhan Ambu Flop
2013 Vishwaroopam Hit
2015 Uttama Villain Flop
2015 Papanasam Hit (known director, remake)
Even extending the to 15 yrs, you'll see the same %%. Hey Ram (flop), Tenali (Hit), Aalavandhan (flop), PKS (average), Panchathanthiram (average), Anbae Sivam (flop).
2004 Virumaandi Hit
2004 Vasool Raja MBBS Hit (remake)
2005 Mumbai Express Flop
2006 Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu Super Hit (known director)
2008 Dasavathaaram Blockbuster (Ravi Kumar, Kamal)
2009 Unnaipol Oruvan Hit including Telugu (remake)
2010 Manmadhan Ambu Flop
2013 Vishwaroopam Blockbuster
2015 Uttama Villain Flop (no release for previews and first 1.5 days)
2015 Papanasam Hit (known director, remake)
Hey Ram (washout), Tenali (Blocbuster), Aalavandhan (flop, grand opening), PKS (hit), Panchathanthiram (superhit), Anbae Sivam (flop)
70% not 50%...
His own direction films 75% success. Chachi 420 superhit. Hey Ram flop. Virumandi hit. Viswa blockbuster.
Your original point of his own written films being 50% is true for last 15 years. Dont change it.
How many in tamil cinema or indian cinema has attempted a story like hey ram or virumandi ?..Even Vishwaroopam is one of its kind war movie..We cannot just categorize alavandhaan or hey ram or Anbe Sivam or Mumbai express or Uttama villain..films with no direct villain into this category.. these are films if made with less salary (no kamal ) would be successful films.. this is the point he made in simply kushboo..

In that category I felt in the last 10 years timeline, only 50% did it.
I'm also not sure if PKS and Panch were hits and superhits .. thought they were average grossers. I could be wrong.
you are wrongQuote:

there is difference between doing a film like vettaiyadu villaiyadu, dasa, vishwaroopam with clear villain in the film... even those films, u cannot simply make comparison to mass masala which r standard good vs evil... the only problem is its years now that we dont get mass film like skv r ttt from him.. just be happy we get films like vv, dasa, vr.. that's all.
I wanted to see numbers on those - PKS and Panch before we discuss further. I knew them as average. Again not adamant about its status .. just wanted to see the actuals.Quote:

Not just mass masala but connecting to people ... not just fans. In some movies, its broken and invariably does not do well commercially as well. I've mentioned this in my previous post ..
ppl like this r enuf to mindwash n make claims :notworthy:

Bill4u.. for every Alavandhaan there is a Dasavatharam, for every hey! ram there's a virumandi, for every MX there's a 5thiram.. yes when he write a script, he wants to do something different... if he made 1 way of film good vs bad villain mass action hero script again and again we wont have this discussion...
What are you saying, shwas ?!! I'm only happy if those movies have done well .. but I was not in chennai that time and unaware of the actual numbers - investment vs. return and profitability numbers.Quote:

Also, P5Tricks is being telecast very frequently in KTV! Laugh riot!
VRMBBS must be considered as Super Hit-nga.Quote:
