Trivikram - Suriya Movie Doubtful?
Kollywood superstar Suriya turned producer recently and produced "24" with lavish budget. But he is set to lose heavily on this project in Tamil though his film is performing extremely well in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
The Telugu version can be considered a hit but the Tamil version has turned out to be a big flop. In this scenario, he is reportedly planning to hold his next film in the direction of Trivikram in Telugu.
At present, Suriya is shooting for his trusted director Hari's "Singham" franchise. After completion of this movie, he wanted to begin a movie in the direction of Trivikram in Telugu and Tamil. But the fate of "24" in Tamilnadu has made him to think otherwise.
Trivikram has great grip on Telugu market but he may not understand what his fans in Tamilnadu want, Suriya is reportedly thinking.
Vikram Kumar's content has worked with Telugu audiences since he has made films in Telugu and he knows the market here but his taking didn't go well with the Tamilians.
Hence he doesn't want to take the risk of making a bilingual with Trivikram at this moment. He reportedly wants to do this movie after a year.
Mixed reports on profitability although doing very well in BO ....
I looked at the numbers. Production cost 60C, promotion 5C. Total 65C
If they are going to end up close to 1.1 C or even 1.15C globally on the theatricals with another solid week plus satellite rights, Audio rights profit, two language sales of audio and Satellite, Now Hindi Film Industry folks are keen to acquire the remake rights add another 5C at the least.
It is more than 2.5 times the making costs!. They should feel happy. No Shankar/ ARM/ MR and still movie is a 100 Cr club and it brought many critics to cheer and say nice things about the movie. What more can the production house or the exhibitors can expect in these days when movies dont even remain in the cinema halls? Piracy would have eaten a small piece of this pie.
Uttama Villan- classic example. Novelty in every department of story telling, camerawork, Music making and all of it. Common movie goer refused to lap-up this rare genre of a film making. 15 years from now they will celebrate it as though they just came out of brain dead state (like athreya) and start aggressively talking about promoting the movie like Anbe Sivam (recent parallel).
Ennatha solrathu?
Long term Amnesia/ Dementia illa pudhusa age-ing agara syndrome-aaa.?
Which one to admit?
I saw the movie with family on the first day , here in Atlanta and my 12 year son liked it. He didnt complain any bit or about the lagging portions!. My seven year old liked it in bits and again did not grumble either , otherwise in about 1 hour he would start humming....lets go! Movie is over ... He did it for UV but not for papanasam or Theri.
