I think the following is correct interpretation about the 8th Century portion.

who cares about opposite fans ? Can they even dream of putting up a movie like this, let alone run ... Anyways, the verdict is not fully out yet and if what you read is true, 70C is close to break even/average gross imo.

Is it still running in TN ? UV is in 3rd week run in most overseas locations:

Now everyone is available ,As we are heading towards end stage of discussion so instead of BO discussion can we discuss about nuances that is new before closing this thread and moving on to other thread Papanasam and ThoongaVanam..venkiram has put nicely in blog..

For me the "Intha kadhai inge irukaiyil song" seems to be crucial song and starting point for the audience to feel screenplay as seamless between real life portions and drama..That song can be taken in both ways..
If you observe purely from drama point of view "uttaman intro,uttaman kadai were told already" and "intha kadhai Inga irukaiyil" song is used to explain another story "Muttarasan kadhai"..
If you observe as the movie point of you as whole after Kamal-daughter conversation Kamal is fainted and admitted to hospital with sontha kadhai ,soga kadhai and movie shifts easily to drama portions with same song "Intha Kadhai inge irukaiyil"..
For me its brilliant and I am not sure whether others felt the same way..

Thanks Nick. The website talks about collections in 2 week run. 3rd week run is going on many places overseas and I'm hoping domestic is also into 3rd week. If that's the case, break-even should be breached soon. Its about clear now that the loss of 1st couple of days has impacted the margins. Its nice of Nammavar to help Lingu out to offset some loses if any ..

Slight dig, but if Lingu wants to make real profit, Nammavar should get rights of Vishwaroop2 to Lingu. There, TN matter solved and he can focus on other states. End dig.

The problem is whether Nammavar has any say on VR-2 rights. I thought its completely with Aascar unless something has changed since his bank issues.

எதுவும் கட்டாயம் கிடையாது. கருணையின் அடிப்படையில் உதவலாம். படத்தை வெளியிடுவதில் ஏற்பட்ட பிரச்சினைகள், வெளியாகும் தேதி குறிக்கப்பட்டும் சொன்ன நாளில் வெளியாகாமல் நாள் கடந்து வெளியானது என கமலுக்கும், ரசிகர்களுக்கும் இழைக்கப்பட்ட ஏமாற்றத்திற்கு திருப்பதி சகோதரர்கள்தான் கடன் பட்டிருக்கிறார்கள்.

Second half un ecessary tiger scenes and one minister resigning scenes and ottran scenes ..... firstey remove panni ..... oru flashback kuthu pattu shooting with simran or some other ex heroine ...... would have made a lot of difference. 10 percent loss of artism and 30 percent more reach to audience. Good trade off it would have been. Aana yaaru sollarthu nammalukku ?

The fact that it did not cross $1 M in the US/Canada market is puzzling.

KH should have nothing to do with Lingu. Bad move with UV could be compounded. Not blaming Lingu as the sole reason but he takes the lion's share. Eros's troubles with Linga caused a ripple effect.

Not puzzling at all. VR ran for 4+ weeks with 100% occupancy first week end and nearly full second weekend and so forth. I was there during its 100% full day first weekend and again on the 4th weekend with about 50-60%. VR made 1.2M odd in the US with that kind of occupancy. UV did not have the crowds like VR and had only 60%-70% occupancy first weekend and lesser there after. I'm glad it did what it did in the US.
