Sivakasi

It was decided that the successful combo of Vijay and Perarasu would come together again and AM Rathnam would produce the venture. The project had some huge expectations right from the beginning as Thiruppachi was a grand success and AM Rathnam-Vijay combo had never given anything less than a blockbuster.

The film was wrapped up in quick time and was scheduled for a Diwali release, befitting to its title. Asin paired up with Vijay for the first time. Srikanth Deva had already made the album a chartbbuster.

My friends planned for an FDFS in Nagercoil Thangam. But the tickets are normally given to the fan clubs and we didn't succeed in buying tickets in black as no bulk tickets were available. So, we had to wait till 11 am for the next show. But we knew it was always worth a wait. Thangam is that kinda theatre where all the doors are opened so there is natural ventilation. So anybody who owns a tea stall nearby will memorise a film's complete dialogues in a week. Hence we stayed away from the theatre till our show started so that we don't listen to any spoilers. However, the whistles and claps managed to reach us every now and then.

The first show was over by 10.45 am and the crowd was going crazy. There were crackers bursting all around and the feedback we got was that it was better than Thiruppachi. We had our heartrates pumping at 100 bps. It normally happens when u are entering the cinema hall to watch your favourite hero's latest release for the first time.

11.10 AM. The movie didn't start yet. Nagercoil punctuality!! The crowd going restless. The good thing with that kinda crowd is you can improve your 'secondary vocabulary' in such instances. However, without testing much of the patience, the operator oblidged.

The intro of Vijay, though now evokes a smile, is one of his best intros. The whole theatre was on its toes. It takes decades of hardworking to get this kinda mass following and Vijay managed it long long back.

Back to the film, the comedy track was a bit of letdown for me. However, Perarasu came with even worser tracks in his subsequent films which made Sivakasi look like a masterpiece. The action block was good. But post interval, the Vijay-PR duel was 'pattasu'. It lifted the movie to a great extent to be followed by an MGR-Rajni style climax.

Majaa,the movie which released with Sivakasi was an average grosser and the Diwali once again belonged to Vijay.

Vijay’s letter to PM reveals political ambition –

Sarath Kumar

Posted by Ayyappa Prasad Chennai, June 21

(TruthDive): Vijay’s statement to PM Modi that the new NDA government should cut service tax on films has not been liked by film industry trade body leaders like Sarath Kumar, and film producers’ union leader Kayaar. They feel that Vijay going it alone instead of joining in the collective appeal does not augur well for the industry. Sarath Kumar went on record saying that Vijay was only showing his ambition to enter politics. Reaction of Vijay’s fans to this is awaited.

Sarath Kumar said that all trade bodies had during the UPA time met the Finance minister and President Pranab Mukherjee on this issue. Sarath Kumar who is President of Actors body said that Vijay by going it alone has signalled his intention to enter politics. This view is not without any basis. Vijay had sided with AIADMK in the Assembly polls. Sarath Kumar’s party was one of the allies of AIADMK. After the sweep of the poll and Jayalalithaa not having to depend on any allies to form the ministry, things turned sour. Many of the allies have since left the alliance. Vijay and Jayalalithaa had a spat over a tagline in his film ‘Thalaivaa’ and a dialogue that allegedly belittled ‘Amma’. After much fracas, the film was released with Vijay’s open praise of Amma.

In the Lok Sabha polls, actor Vijayakanth,a one-time ally of AIADMK crossed over to lead the NDA rainbow alliance in the State. Rajnikanth who had personal links had a surprise visitor in Modi during his visit to the city. Voted as next Superstar, Vijay met Modi in Coimbatore and it was a courtesy call as the then BJP PM candidate was keen to meet the heir apparent of Rajnikanth.

Now that this fan has become the PM, it is only natural that he sends out a letter in his own letter head as Joseph Vijay (see attachment) and has it was circulated in the media. This could be the actor personal note to the PM.

Kayaar who is a veteran producer and is in the forefront of many trade issues says the actor has flawed as the service tax for theatres has been removed but that sector too is included. He too feels that the actor is nursing political ambitions.

Kayaar takes a dig at the actor by saying that the need of the hour is to bring down the fees of the actors who are overcharging. Some say that trade leaders are over reacting because they feel threatened that Vijay might emerge as a new power centre.
