Petrol Bomb, teared up banners too

Here in london a shop owner refused to put up kaththi poster due to 2 reasons:
1. A big surya supporter
2. Lyca issue

Now he is all fucked up in all directions and whenever i see him i smile with pride for 2 reasons:
1. Anjaan disaster
2. Kaththi blockbuster

Aandavan epodhum nallavanga pakkam......namma pakkam.

Vijay's Kaththi movie release issue: 12 men arrested for attack on Sathyam Cinemas get bail

CHENNAI: A sessions court in Chennai on Wednesday granted bail to 12 persons who were arrested for allegedly hurling petrol bombs at a cinema theatre in Chennai, apparently to protest against the release of Vijay-starrer Kaththi, two weeks ago.

On October 20, two days ahead of the release of "Kaththi," Sathyam Cinemas and Woodlands Theatre in the city came under attack from two unidentified groups of men. It was considered an act of protest against the release of the film which was allegedly coproduced by a production house having links with Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa.

On October 21, police arrested 12 men in connection with the attack on Sathyam Cinemas at Royapettah.

Advocate S Duraisamy and V Elangovan, representing the accused before the principal sessions judge N Authinathan, said they had been implicated only for political reasons. Pointing out that one of the arrested youth - Prabhakaran - was an engineering college student, Duraisamy said they were all young people having no bad antecedents.

Investigation into the violence was already over and the youths had already spent 14 days in jail, he said, adding that the value of the alleged damage to the theatre was Rs 50,000.

Principal sessions judge Authinathan, considering the arguments and noting that the entire incident had been captured in a CCTV installed on the theatre premises and hence probe into the case was substantially over, granted bail to all the 12 persons.

The judge directed them to execute a personal bond for Rs 5,000 each besides furnishing two sureties of the like sum each. He also asked each them to deposit Rs 2,000 before the XIII metropolitan magistrate court, which would be refunded to them after final orders are passed in the matter.

Will Kaththi be declared a BLOCKBUSTER?
Nov 06, 2014
Kaththi has entered the 3rd week of its theatrical run and the film has so far enjoyed a very smooth passage, with competition from just Poojai in Tamil. Tomorrow, a couple of noted films, Oru Oorla Rendu Raja and Jai Hind 2, would be releasing in sizable number of screens and Kaththi, Poojai would be experiencing intense competition all over the state.

But despite the new releases, Kaththi would continue to hold on to the big screens in the major centers. For example in Chennai city, many big screens like Devi, Sathyam, Abirami 7 Star, Udhayam, Sangam, Albert, Woodlands, S2 Theyagaraja and Kamala would continue to screen Kaththi in the 3rd week as well. The film is expected to lead the collections chart by far, in the coming weekend's box-office report as well.

So far this year, Dhanush's VIP is the only movie which has been declared a blockbuster in Behindwoods' Chennai city box-office reports. Will Kaththi get this elusive tag? Stay tuned to this space to know more.

The one common link in Enthiran - Thuppakki - Kaththi
There is a saying in Tamil,'Pulikku porandhadhu poonai aaguma?'. Madhan Karky probably had 100 songs written in his career in no time. The righteous heir of 'Kavi Perarasu' Vairamuthu, Madhan Karky is a professor by profession and a successful lyric writer by choice.
An interesting feat to the news is, Madhan Karky has been part of three distinct movies which belong to the elite club of Tamil movies to have grossed more than100 crores worldwide -Enthiran, Thuppakki and the recent Kaththi. Karky has contributed to the lyrics section for these blockbusters and in fact, he was also part of the dialogues team in Enthiran.
With trendsetting back to back chartbusters, Karky is on a very high note and we wish all success for this master writer to keep entertaining us. http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies-...mmonality.html

Kollywood Top Guns Blaze into Kerala Box Office
PALAKKAD/CHENNAI: In the days leading to the release of Vijay’s film Kaththi, there was barely any publicity in Tamil Nadu, given the protests and uncertainty over the film’s release.
But just across State lines to the West, it was a completely different ball game: posters lined the streets, flex banners marked theatres and a whole train was plastered with the movie’s posters and ran through the length of Kerala before reaching Mangalore. Over the last few years, the reception for Tamil movies for A-list heroes like Rajinikanth, Vijay, Ajith and Kamal has been so enormous that distributors have been known to even push Malayalam films from clashing with these at the box office.
The aggressive marketing by Tamil films coupled with the changing audience attitude have resulted in many of the releases running to packed houses in Kerala.
In many interior towns of the State, especially in border areas, publicity of top Tamil stars is often bigger and better than that of their Malayalam counterparts Mohanlal and Mamootty. From special fan shows to ‘paal abhishekhams’ by fan clubs, there is little that separates it from a release in Tamil Nadu.
K Shibu of Thameems Pictures, one of Kerala’s biggest distributors, explained that this added demand has driven the cost up by several notches. “We released Kaththi in 192 screens and have made an enormous amount of money.
Publicity is vital — we spend close to `45-50 lakh on it alone,” he said. Thameem, who handles most of Vijay’s releases in Kerala, is so invested in the actor that he is co-producing his next film with director Chimbudevan.
P Sreekumar, proprietor of Remya movies, which released several Tamil films in the State, said the distribution rights of a film like Kaththi would have cost 3.75 crore. And it would appear to have paid off. Trade sources said that of the 100 crore that Kaththi has crossed in the 12 days since its release, close to 10.25 crore is from God’s Own Country.

'Kaththi' Box Office (Kerala): Vijay's Film Makes Enormous Collections in God's Own Country:

Vijay's "Kaththi" has made huge collections at the Kerala box office. According to trade sources, the film has reportedly minted close to ₹10.25 crore in 12 days in the God's own country, according to a report.

Kerala is one of the strong markets for Tamil films. Films of big stars like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith, Vijay and Suriya take good openings at Kerala box office and continue to perform well if they manage to get good reviews.
Vijay's last release "Jilla" was a humongous hit at the box office. The presence of Malayalam actor Mohanlal was a big boost for the film and it released in record 200 screens in the state. The film took grand openings and emerged as Vijay's biggest hit in the state.
Following the stupendous success of "Jilla," the Kerala distributors of "Kaththi" released the film in good number of screens. Promotional activities helped the film get positive pre-release buzz in the state. Talking about the publicity, distributor Shibu of Thameems Pictures said, "We released Kaththi in 192 screens and have made an enormous amount of money. Publicity is vital — we spend close to ₹45-50 lakh on it alone," according to The New Indian Express .
The film opened on a fantastic note and reportedly minted around ₹1.95 crore on the first day. Although the Vijay starrer registered good collections, it failed to beat "Jilla" opening day collections.
"Kaththi" has managed to continue its good run at the box office in the last two weeks and has minted around ₹10 crore. The Vijay starrer has reportedly surpassed "Thuppakki" collections and is expected to do decent business in its third week at the Kerala box office.
Meanwhile, Vijay has shifted his focus on his next project – "Vijay 58" – which is all set to go on floors on 10 November. A huge set is being erected in Chennai for the film's shooting. Hansika and Shruti Haasan play the female leads, while Sridevi and Kannada actor Sudeep are also part of the film's cast.
On the other, "Kaththi" director Murugadoss has commenced work on his next project – a female-oriented Bollywood film with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/kaththi-box...country-613331
