UlagaNayagan KAMALHAASAN in ||"UthamaVillan"|| Directed by Ramesh Aravind

cant avoid the comparison. linga started while papanasam shooting started. now all three movies are in PP with no audio, trailor etc but see there..trailor, audio launch nu thool parakkudu.

I too feel the same. Time is money. More the delay, higher the required BO returns !
There is no doubt UV will be a much better movie than Linga. But if it is claimed that UV is getting delayed because it is a "bigger" movie than Linga, the BO results also need to be bigger.
Otherwise I do not see any logical reason behind the release getting delayed.

My guess is that VR2 and PN will cross 100C, but UV will not !
So by end of next year Nammavar will have 4 100C+ movies

"There is no doubt UV will be a much better movie than Linga"..romba kusumbu sir, started a debate..now wait for torrents. (i do also feel the same. it will be full of masala for his fans which will be promptly forgotten after two years)

"My guess is that VR2 and PN will cross 100C, but UV will not"..but i will interchange PN and UV. PN is normal family thriller which will surely a hit but not mass. but UV has all potential to be a BB.

"So by end of next year Nammavar will have 4 100C+ movies".. lets hope

Frankly speaking Papanasam BO collections will not cross 100C,reason the remake already released in AP,KA..In KL however the movie will have grand opening eventhough its remake but in AP it will not..It will be released with minimum prints in AP,KA..
I am expecting 50-80 crores collection and if that happens then its a blockbuster and everyone will be very happy..Its not a high budget movie and maximum production cost will be 5 crores ignoring Kamalhaasan salary..

Vishwaroopam definitely will cross 100 C and it has all the potential to cross 200C even considering the producers ability to reach very wide and fans eager to watch part2 after watching the stunning visuals/fight scenes in part1....

Uthamavillain is 50-50 to cross 100C because we even cant sense whether it will be commercial and classical or both like papanasam/VR..like anbe sivam or aboorva sagotharargal in terms of commercialism,need to wait and watch

UV will either be a big hit or a big flop. Let's hope it turns into a big hit. Main reason cited for UV delay is the amount of graphics work which seems to have been underestimated initially.But, there is also some financial angle to this, I am sure. An audio/trailer release in December should help the movie to come out in January. Kamal has been in the news a lot lately with so many interviews etc. This is the ideal time to wrap up any pending work and move ahead with the release. I am hoping for the best.

Even if PN clicks 75% of the way the original clicked, it will cross 100+C.
It became the highest all time grosser in Malayalam. So if we take even 50% of the highest collected movie in Tamil, it is still 100+ !
As it is not a typical "mass movie", enough gap should be there between PN and the next release. It will be a long run movie.

My concern with UV is ... Let me do not worry too much about it now !

But what we need at the moment is solid&finalized release dates for these 3!

isnt he the highest grosser in TFI including his hits in other languages and accounting for inflation .....

anways the present is always is short lived ,what matters is after 100 yrs when this era is talked about ....who is talked about is what matters ( B.O collection or anything of that matter will be immaterial but the works will remain and nammavar has the versatility and content to stand the test of time )

we dont talk about the blockbusters of the 1940s or the 1930s - but we talk about the metropolis's of those worlds.....

Box office just elevates the stardom and makes actor survive for years..Naseerudin shah is best actor in Hindi but he is nowhere close to top actors..there are many actors who gave great movies but didnt survive long because of Box office issues..recent example - Rudhraiya directed only 2 movies..why? aval appadithaan flopped and so he didnt get chance to direct movies further..
If kamalhaasan makes movies like Rajaparvai,Guna continuously without purely commercial movies like AS,MMKR then he would havent survived for 50 years in industry..
In that sense he is very smart..Making movies like Anbe sivam,Vishwaroopam and in between movies like dasavatharam,Papanasam which makes him always in the top hero list..

What you are saying is 100% right. But being a hardcore fan and seeing Nammavar ruling BO for decades, that too 2 decades being clear number one in terms of long runs and openings, I still care for BO

[leosimha]

while we have been discussing about BO figures...if any of you have interacted with Kamal....let me know one thing...do you think that Kamal seriously cares for BO figures....

he will definitely bother, if the movie made money or not.. i dont think he will be much bothered, if it made more money than a masala movie..
