Thala Ajith's 56th Film-Vedhalam-Veeram Siva-AMRathnam - Anirudh - Winning combo

It is wise to go for a solo release and get maximum collections within a week. After that Piracy takes over anyway.

In a way Ajith, Vijay and Kamal made big mistake by clashing with each other for Pongal 2014 and Diwali 2015. It makes no sense that they would allow their collections to get eaten up by an equally healthy rival.

It really depends on where the ROI is...Solo Non festive so far has proven less ROI than a Festive Combo release. If you can get a Solo Festive release that would be a dream for any producers

When you talk about overseas, USA, UK, I think people want to watch one movie rather than two for sure. Festive time or not is irrelevant. Festival day on a monday/tuesday is worse than an weekend day of any day, imo, again I am talking about overseas!

Before going to Vedalam,I always wondered why Attagasam Perfect Hero worship mindless masala didnt work that time when such films were the flavour of the season.
Outside Fan circle Most arrogant/Egoistic actor ever Tamil cinema has ever seen was the Outlook Public had on Ajit.So Heroism fuelled masala didn't get its due when Films like Tirupachi..got massive success.
With the current trend mass masala almost beaten to dearth,still Vedalam works bang on with the massess inspite of mokkai comedy...there lies the real victory of star power.Reviews were scathing to the core
Getting a mass masala film flavour perfect altogether like Sammy Dhool Ghilli is one thing and riding film solely on his own aura inspite of sumaar package is real victory.
Overlall Attagasam is still better film than Vedalam but attagassam didn't get its due when mindless masalas were the flavour of the season and Vedalam becoming unanimous festival blockbustor in current trend is something indicative of his Phenomenol stardom.

This is just a myth.....I always maintained Festive release in competing is better then solo.
Actualy impact is seen only when both films caters to same set of audience and have a great hype.

See, even in C center the price of a ticket of "big stars" are 400 rupees or so. It is worse in "C' centers when you compare that with A centers. Not many family audience can afford to see two movies. They will watch one and for the other one they will get a "thiruttu vcd"!

I agree actually. you can watch only one movie at a given time. It's either TV or Vedalam for this diwali. part of the reason why TV has done good business in US is due to the fact that old generation from tamilnadu (35+ age) is mostly found here in US have idolized or grown up watching rajini and Kamal movies. The reason why Vedalam is super hot in TN is due to the fact the next gen had taken over.

Vedalam reminded me of watching Baasha during my 10th std. I'm sure gen next are lapping it up like we did for Baasha. As simple as that!!

Rajini movie film business are very high and needs to be released solo in order to recoup the money... distributors and theater owners know it better than us.

That initial buildup when the music starts was amazing to say the least
