This is just business... When demand is there people will try to make use of it and rake money... Rajini's part is over when he gets paid for his acting. I dont understand why should he raise voice... Enga company serviceku consumer athikamaa pay panraanga so i am ready reduce my pay check nu entha employe'yum solrathillainu ninakkurean..
He paid $15- 20 for Viswaroopam. The same Venkiram!!! Why did not he protest and say I would pay only $8 just like any other movie.
Venkiram has two balances/scales . One for rajini and one another for others!

Wow. Manitharul Punithar, next Kamarajar is being compared to a middle class hard working employee at a BPO.

Hypocrites are everywhere!
dont know the context, but if this refers to the ridiculous ticket pricing in halls screening Indian movies abroad - not chains like AMC etc - am talking about Indian owned halls - I also feel that its grossly unfair that movies (doesn't matter who is in them) are charged differently as compared to other movies elsewhere.
Am also certain that the stars/actors have no control over this, but its the super greedy producers/distributors/hall-owners capitalize on the mass love for their respective stars.
Even IMAX 3D screenings are priced a dollar or two lesser!

Yes. That is really sick. This meme creation and circulating it is going overboard these days.
"A Wolf in a Hen House " AB drop your act of " Nalla Thambi" you and your gang of highly intelligent souls should find solace out of this thread your honor! Pl spare us
It really matters "How" "Who" and more importantly why one group people behave the way they do.

With Thalaiva ruling plexes, it’s bonding time for Tamilians
KOLKATA: They roar in unison as their favourite 'Thalaiva' leaps into air from his speeding bike, meandering along a hilly track to land on a wobbling hot-air balloon about to crash into a dam. As he punches the villain and clings on to the edge of the balloon's basket, the desperate heroin clutching his other arm, they move to the edge of their seats. The girl loses her grip, but superman Thalaiva floats in air to retrieve her with a rope from the balloon. They climb back safely to the balloon and all is well at the end of a pulsating climax. Smiles return and the audience breathes easy again.
The latest Rajinikanth blockbuster 'Lingaa' has hit the theatres and Thalaiva fans in the city are going gaga. For a large number of them — Tamilians in Kolkata — it is party time with several multiplexes screening the movie at convenient hours. It also brings a whiff of Chennai to Kolkata. With Rajini mouthing his witty one-liners and moving his arms in his trademark style after delivering a punch, the community members have been enjoying themselves immensely.
"Previously, we had to wait for months to catch a Tamil film. Even when it was shown, the show time would be inconvenient. But now, they slot the shows at regular hours which lets you catch the movie at your leisure. It was really nice to be able to watch the film on a Sunday morning," said K Kumar, a city-based Tamilian who watched 'Lingaa' with his wife Shanthi Kumar and daughter Sangeeta at Inox South City.
Being able to watch a new Rajinikanth film within two days of its release transported her back to Chennai, said Shanthi. "There's nothing like watching a film in your language on the big screen. Every Tamilian enjoys a Rajinikanth film. So, this completes a family outing for us," she said.
For many in the community, watching a Tamil film is also a way of reaching out
to friends and neighbours. "This is one of the ways you can bond with others in the community. We now meet people from our state at the multiplexes. Families often plan an outing that revolves around a movie. Also, sitting in the auditorium, you get a feeling as if you are at home," said B Shivakumar, who works in a private firm in Kolkata.
City multiplexes have been quick to recognize the trend. There is a growing audience for regional cinema in the city, they point out. 'Lingaa' has been attracting good occupancy since its release on December 12. Shows have been slotted late in the morning and early afternoon, allowing many to catch the film. The film revolves around the heroics of Lingaa, a small-time crook who is out to protect a dam built by his father, who was an engineer. Lingaa's release date coincided with Rajinikanth's 66th birthday.
Some like V S Gururajan, an engineer from Tamil Nadu who was transferred to Kolkata a year back, have been left pleasantly surprised by the fact that Tamil movies are a big draw in Kolkata. It has helped him to keep in touch with his hometown, he said.
"I have watched three Tamil films with my family in the last one year. Honestly, we didn't expect Kolkata multiplexes to show them so often. Since I don't yet know too many Tamilians in Kolkata, watching a film in my language helps me relax. It holds true for my wife and children as well," he said.
Gururajan's sons — 9-year-old Santosh Shivan and 12-year-old Jagdish Prasad — were thrilled as well. "I can tell my friends and relatives back home that I have watched 'Lingaa' at the same time they have. In fact, we have rarely caught a Rajinikanth film so quickly even at home," said the youngster.
Deepa Anaiyeppan, another Kolkata-based Tamilian, said she often missed the madness that followed the release of a Rajinikanth film at Chennai. But now she doesn't. "It's been a big change for us since we Tamilians swear by movies. It was nice to catch 'Lingaa' on the third day of its release. I feel like watching it one more time," she gushed.
Lingaa attracts ladies and family audience and children!!

Why dont you mind your own business instead of asking others to leave(???), as if I am peeping into your drawing room? You can always hide my posts, a provision that I am going to use now so that it helps me save some time reading your posts.
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

Hello..I said I paid $15 for Vishwaroopam and Dasavatharam. VR - Premier Show; Dasa - First day - evening show. That too in the below average theatre BIG cinemas in NJ. Calling me as a Hypocrite, I least bother about it.
