UlagaNayagan KAMALHAASAN in ||"PAPANASAM"|| Directed by Jeethu Joseph

vadapalani area theatres(kamala and avm) are doing good compared with other areas. continuously all matinee and evening shows are full.

anything special in that area?

center of city! pala per vanthu pOgum idam! ;) surrounded by thickly populated residential areas. very good connectivity via bus, now metro station too. 2 malls are there, thats why!

Other than Chennai and Covai main theaters, the collection figures will be shown less due to tax.

Side discussion - did you know who declined the exemption ? A panel containing of yesterday veterans: actors, singers and music directors: LR. Eswari, M.N. Rajam and Shankar Ganesh ... Hmm.

Movie budget is considered to be quite low .. so its believed that costs may have already been covered in the first week itself. Now its more whether its a hit or a superhit.

Thats right CR. Papanasam is doing too well everywhere. Not just in A,B, C centers of TN but in Mumbai too. sg-cafe tweeted that shows are are houseful in Singapore also. TN theatres like trichymovies, vettritheatres too keep tweeting about its excellent performance. But why is it that NONE of the major sites/magazines are even acknowledging the success. This is very similar to the silence we saw during Dasavatharam and Vishwaroopam release. Now Sify went one step ahead and called it 'Average' in their recent CBO report. Behindwoods keeps maintaining the same status 'Grand Opening' for more than 2 weeks. Newspapers like Indian Express are so busy dissecting the BO accomplishments of Bahubali that they forget to note that a small movie, probably made with 1/5th the budget and released one week before Bahubali is giving it a tough fight in TN. In fact in TN interiors there is no fight. Papanasam takes a huge lead there.

How is it running in Madurai, Coimbatore areas?

Madurai and beyond Madurai collection is superb..Infact 80-90% of theaters retained despite bahubali release there becoz of nellai accent may be..In Coimbatore/thiruppur its steady..
Recent news trichy LA cinemas decided not to release Maari and continue with papanasam,bahubali..
In Chennai single theaters retaining papanasam with matinee ,evening shows despite maari release eating its crucial evening crowd..
SPI cinemas given 24 shows each for Papanasam,Maari..
What I heard is after long time theater owners are facing extreme pressure because they want to continue with Papanasam in B,C centres but Maari is releasing..
Do we need to say anymore? Watchout for houseful shows everywhere these week-end as well..

Cool. So Vishwaroopam's BO collections got some visibility at least, after all these days. Thanks Sakala, hope the 100 other sites which have 'top 10' biggest blockbusters of TFI see this and make changes to their lists.

Btw heard Maari is finding it tough to get theaters in TN as both BB and PN are running very well.
