haha your signature now you stand corrected and you can say whatever you want to say and people won't take it seriously.. didn't want to write back (i might piss everyone off as i keep dragging this subject) anything since you still haven't understood the usage of IMO i'll offer my little help my friend.

1. FAN SAYS: This films is blockbuster - Not a fact, figure of speech, viewer's opinion
2. HATER SAYS: This film is utter flop, non sense - Not a fact, figure of speech, viewer's opinion. remember when MASS released, even before the movie was released elsewhere you were the first to say the movie is worser than ANJAAN - since it was your opinion nobody cared to dispute with you.
3. Gautami making a comback with Papanasam - Fact, don't warrant proof
4. Top ten movies in BO history - Nov's opening post in this thread, not a FACT, matter of dispute so he attached the sources from where he's inferring that information
5. Now the last one where you need IMO - you make a statement, a matter of dispute but you don't prefix saying "IMO" or provide "sufficient source" if you really meant to state that what you said, readers like me will mistake you for joking and being sarcastic etc.

so yes, adding an IMO gives you license to state your opinion freely. as far as other members in my quantified observation in this forum i haven't seen anyone else making authoritative claims on disputed matters like you, i can go thru your posts in last 2 weeks and could come up with many such posts but it's pointless. on one hand we have serious hubbers like "mappi" who really digs deep into subject matters and post meaningful posts.

my point is simple. you stated 20-40 youth group lost interest with rajni's movies (didn't say your friends or your observation). let me ask you this, what was the highest grossing movie or top 2-3 in TFI in 2014. leave hit or flop aside for a moment (that's considered based on return on investment). lingaa will be there in top 3, agreed? now you stated majority of movie goers fall under 20-40 age category and i agree to that. now without this group seeing the movie how can the movie be on the top 3? prove me wrong with proper sources etc or if it's your opinion just state it and continue having fun. i rest my case.

Well well well.. So thats the issue! Now I am getting it. How blind was I?

Anyways coming to the last paragraph of your post. Let me repeat. Rajni's formulaic films these days dont draw the same amount of curiosity like they used to in the 90s. That doesnt mean the public have totally forgot Rajni and his films. For someone who is in the field for 35+ years, he would obviously draw crowds but the excitement level is obviously low. Reason: His masala films have the same old templates and people are bored. Good thing is that at least he realized that and moved on. And if you ask for sources, I can post plenty of links which say the same, assuming you consider links as creditable sources.
