Mankatha will not fall under point 2 , usual-aa Ajith movies family audience lack than, but not mankatha... 4th weekend 40 laks than collection... weekdays 80-90 lakhs-laam mainly family audience than... eppavum wide release-la ivlavu success aaka mudiyathu.. Sathyam 8 shows la than start pannainga.. booking rushes paathuthan 12 15 nnu poyi kasaisi 30*5 = 150 shows... it will not happen always...

I am just comparing his youth vs family base ... Though family base might be good on its own , youth/family ratio is lower compared to others due to factors like lack of tv interviews / appearances , "thala" / "dada" branding .. But todays youth base will be tomorrows family base ... And if they implement the first two weeks ticket hike rule , ajith will benefit the most in the industry ...


Coming to Mankatha , my house is behind jayathi and opposite thiyagaraja ... They just removed the movie last week ... didnt see much family audience ... The previous hit movie here was kanchana ... Sema ladies crowd ..

I guess multiplex family crowd must have contributed heavily to those numbers ..

If ajith gives attention to family crowd , he will eat other youth heroes alive ..
