Varalaaru By ARRahman - Vairamuthu - KS Ravikumar

Ajith's Varalaru to open big this Deepavali
IndiaGlitz [Monday, September 18, 2006]

It's a Deepavali treat for Ajith fans. His God Father, which was lying in the cans for a very longtime will eventually hit the screens this Deepavali.

Produced by NIC Arts, the movie features Ajith in three roles for the first time and is directed by K S Ravikumar. Several financial constraints prevented the movie's release and it has been waiting for release for the past several months.

Following the State government's announcement of tax exemption for movies titled in Tamil, the producers opted for a title change and God Father has changed to Varalaru.

Now Varalaru will storm the screens in over half-a-dozen theatres in Chennai including the Sathyam Cinemas.


A R Rahman's music and presence of big names like Asin would come handy to promote the film.

Ajith is considered a safe bet in the industry considering the grand opening for his movies. He is currently acting in Aalwar.


Competing with Ajith's Varalaru, this Deepavali would be Silambarasan's Vallavan, Vijayakanth starrer Dharmapuri, Jeeva's E and Srikanth's Kizhakku Kadarkarai Salai. Sarath Kumar is planning to release his 100th venture Thalaimagan for Deepavali.

This proves that Thala is one among the top three openers in TF ! :thumbsup:
GODFATHER is releasing with 300 prints which will kill every competitor 8-)

Will Vallavan be a threat :omg: ......i hope not

Just picked this from ARR-YG, title change looks terrific

Varalaaru : History of Godfather

Crap sify has done it again with its double game !

Anyway, It is THALA DEEPAVALI all the way for us ! (For ARR fans and Ajith fans)

:D

Impressive list of theatres in Chennai.. Ajith will have the opening, but sustenance is the key..

I always felt Ajith's movies are like Sehwag's innings, it has a rapid opening and falls apart later.. Hope this movie turns out like a Sehwag 100... Ajith needs this badly.

Might to too far fetched, I don't have much hopes on Alwaar for Pongal as it may clash with Vikram's bheema, Vijay's Pokkiri and Suriya's Sarvam.

Nowadays opening and first 50 days collection matter a lot ! 8-)
If a movie is running beyond 100 days, then it must be a blockbuster and must run in atleast some areas in TN rather than chennai alone ! 8-)
In that sense, thala still remains like Sachin interms of opening. Except the legends, Others remain as duds !

Because they are all bigger stars than Ajith? It's always between Ajith and Vijay, then the other duo. Or you don't have hope on the director?

The pongal will be highlighted by Ajith vs Vijay rivalry only. I've more hope on Aalwaar than the anything. Second is Sarvam.

Selva, in the last few years people've formed a notion that Ajith movies take bumper opening then fall flat. Every bad film by every mass actors will take good opening and then will fall apart. After that, if the actor comes with a good movie it'll take a good opening and will run for long.

In fact, RK and KH movies take bumper opening. Baba had an awesome opening and gradually fell apart. If Rajini acted few more baba's then people will only be mentioning his opening but not the the strength in BO. Since Rajini is a legend and is the industry for a long time, he knows what he had to do next and he did with CM. (Sorry to any RK fans for using it as an example)

Ajith, before Villan movie, had some flops and huge hits. How did they run? He made right choices after every debacles. But in the last few years, he singned up junk films without even thinking. None of those films were potential blockbusters so I don't think it pertain with his strength in the BO but rather with "the film." Opening is the actor's strengh, the long run fully depends on the substance.
It's sad to see people coming up with peculiar notions. :sad:

Maaps,
This is precisely what I had in my mind ! Still Ajith's opening can't be matched by the current generation starts thought crap sify will try to hide it ! :lol:
Pity that people are taking things straighaway without much analysis.

If a hero gets a massive opening, it says clearly that the mistake is not in the actors' side but in the directors' side ! :D

Thala needs a blockbuster atleast to make everyone remain silent ! Let us hope that GF will give that though it is releasing after 2 solid years !

i dont think any other pongal release will be able to compete with pokkiri. i saw the original pokkiri. it was a stylish movie which had the right blend of action, music, comedy, romance. it was also better than okkadu(ghilli). Moreover, manisarma's nusic was damn good. So i believe pokkiri to be the clear winner in the pongal race. i dont know about alwar bcoz the director is a new guy and the fortunes may turn either way for ajith. Bheema shud also be a good entertainer. Sarvam will not survive. Its going to turn out like mayavi, thats for sure.

Sorry ARR fans, i know this is not the right place to give a preview about pongal releases. But i blieve you all woulf forgive me.
