Ilayathalapathy Vijay 's New Mission with A.L Vijay - Thalaivaa

[Dammy R]

No matter how many DVD prints are out, this movie will do spectacular business in TN when it releases. Mark my words.

I would tend to agree with this statement. My take is that these days, the pirated versions and DVD prints are out within a day, so even if the movie had released last Friday, the DVD prints would have come out by Saturday (just like in Kerala, Karnataka and everywhere else). Vijay has a fan base strong enough to keep the theaters occupied for a good number of days in the first week. And for a decent movie with Vijay in it, even the family audience will come to the theater, no matter what...just like in Kerala and Karnataka. A release on the 15th would have meant a good 4 day weekend...however, let's just hope the movie does get a release soon and recovers whatever money it can so all stakeholders can at least break even. More the delay ..more chances of the excitement and buzz getting lesser.
