saw Lingaa trailer in cuddalore krishnalaya theatre in december .. suththamaa oru whistle kooda illai .. inimel ippidi thaan .. vayasaayiduchu .. respect irukkum, mad following kastam .. nalla padam koduththa kandippaa ellorum paappaanga ..

Last 15 years most of KH movie trailers recieved lukewarm response in theaters with no whistles,etc..
Anbe sivam trailer is very horrible but movie is great..Audience were silent for Heyram,thenali,Virumaandi,VR trailer as well..even for 10A in udhayam only 1 group whistled but since the trailer is racy audience wont feel that silence..In theaters there will b many KH fans but how can they whistle for silent/calm trailers..
Konjam heroism dialogue,kuthu paatu for few secs,hero hitting villain in leg sequence + veera nadaia iruntha whistle adipaanga..without this audience will be silent..trailer is different movie is different..if movie is good then it will attract the audience and loved by all..
How abt billa2 trailer? billa 2 trailer got tremendous response becoz of that dialogue but movie is very bad..

"Whistles" cannot be a benchmark for "Opening"

We cannot predict what would make the audience flock to a film in the first three days and why they would just ignore some others.

Yes,Actor/Director/reception to music are still factors but they alone I think are not the sole determining factors.

Am also sure a controversy alone cannot fill the theatres.Might result in publicity about the film but it's just that.

[Adox]

Whistles dont mean a thing ... a very small %% of people take part in that activity. WOM is a lot more important .. any top hero including SS's movie as seen earlier will tank if WOM is bad. And if it is good, the rest becomes comparatively less important although an actor's overall standing adds to its box office.

Controversies provide a little publicity thats all. There were a few who have said its the controversy that made VR a block buster. Cant be any further from the truth .. His other movies that were embroiled in controversies have not changed the movies's fate in box office.

Saagavaram song Lyrics:

Theme: “There is no sorrow as bad as the boon of longevity(immortal)"

சாகாவரம் போல் சோகம் உண்டோ
கேளாய் மன்னா, கேளாய் மன்னா!

Is there anything as wretched as immortality?
Why won’t you listen my King, Ho..why won’t you listen?

தீரா கதையை கேட்பார் உண்டோ
கேளாய் மன்னா, கேளாய் மன்னா!

Is there anyone who would listen to never ending tales?
Why won’t you listen my King, Ho..why won’t you listen?

கணியர் கணித்த கணக்குப் படி நாம் காணும் உலகிது வட்டப் பந்தாம்..ஓ.. வட்டப் பந்தாம்.. ஓ..

As mathematicians (and astronomers) concluded,
This earth as we see, is a spherical ball.
Yes. It is spherical.

வட்டப்பந்தை வட்டமடிக்கும் மற்றப் பந்தும்போகும் மாண்டே..போகும் மாண்டே..... போகும் மாண்டே.. ஓ..

And the other ball (moon) that revolves
Around this spherical ball (earth)
Will cease to exist (some day). Yes. They will.

[மாளா ஒளியாம் ஞாயிறும் கூட மற்றோர் யுகத்தில் போகும் கரிந்தே…….கரிந்தே..கரிந்தே..

Even Sun, the unending source of light,
Will fade away in millennia.
It will burn away. It will burn away.
(Astrologers (human) > Earth > Moon > Sun > Universe > Big bang > Revival of life..Hence, the moon ceases to exist and later the sun too dissolves in time to non-existence..)

கரிந்து எரிந்தும் வெடித்தப்பின்னும் உதிக்கும் குளம்பில் உயிர்கள் முளைக்கும்
முளைத்து முறிந்தும் துளிர்க்கும் வாழை தன் மரணத்துள்ளே வைத்தது விதையை
கேளாய் மன்னா.. ஓ.. கேளாய் மன்னா.. ஓ..

Lives will sprout from such expansion resulting from this burning explosion. (**reference to big bang theory**)
A fully mature plantain leaves a seed for new life inside its death. (**Plantain is a herbaceous plan**)
Why won’t you listen my King, Ho..why won’t you listen?

விதைத்திடும் உன்னை போல் உயிரை உயிர்த்து விளங்கும் என் கவிதை விளங்கும்..கவிதை விளங்கும்.. ஒ..

My poem will get a life of its own and will prosper.
Just as your virility. It will live long.
(My poetry is like you are in a life to seed life)


விளங்கி துலங்கிடும் வம்சம் வாழ,
வாழும் நாளில் கடமை செய்ய,
செய்யுள் போல் ஒரு காதல் வேண்டும்.

For new generations to thrive,
And to fulfill (our) life’s obligation,
(We) need poetic love.

காதல் வேண்டும்.. செய்யுள் போல் ஒரு..
காதல் வேண்டும்.. செய்யுள் போல் ஒரு..

(It could have been simply said as “கவிதை போல”.. the usage “செய்யுள் போல்” has far deeper reach.. செய்யுள் – Traditional poetry and es the context and the purpose of the song..Hence, the love is not mere lust,not for just a random person..The love must possess character,worthy of being carried through the millennium,bound by the structure,void of flaws..Only such divine love could help a person fulfill his destiny in a given birth..)


வேண்டியதெல்லாம் வாய்த்த ஒருவன்
சாவையும் வேண்டி செத்த கதைகள்
ஆயிரம் உண்டு…
கேளாய் மன்னா.. ஒ.. கேளாய் மன்னா!!

Many a lore can be found,
Of well provided for men seeking death.
Why won’t you listen my King, Ho..why won’t you listen?

Seyyul also means vilai nilam - fertile land - maybe that is why he chose that word....seems very apt in the context of this song

செய்யுள் போலொரு காதல் என்று சொல்வதன் காரணம் - செய்யுள் அழகுடையது; ஒழுங்குடையது; சில வரிகளில் பெரும்பொருள் தருவது; முக்கியமாக, முடிவுள்ளது; என்பது என் துணிபு.

[Cinemarasigan]

செய்யுள் போலொரு காதல் என்று சொல்வதன் காரணம் - செய்யுள் அழகுடையது; ஒழுங்குடையது; சில வரிகளில் பெரும்பொருள் தருவது; முக்கியமாக, முடிவுள்ளது; என்பது என் துணிபு.

அழகானது, அர்த்தமுள்ளது என்ற கருத்தில் எழுதப்பட்டதாகவே நினைக்கிறேன்..
