Khan Saheb Kamal Haasan's Jamaat/Jeba Koottam/Devasthaanam - Part 8

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Talking about box office, I'd like to ask this question to the other Kamal fans here. Am I the only person who finds it extremely tough to convince someone from the general public that Dasavatharam was NOT a box office disaster? I mean, they don't just call it a flop. It is termed disaster by at least 7 out of 10 people I talk to(idhu south. In case of north indies, it is worse - 10/10). Forums, blogs, coffee time chats - its the same everywhere. Forget making them believe that it was a genuine blockbuster. The moment I say it made a huge profit, I am being mocked at. Appidi indha padam enna paavam senjuchu therila. If one person talks about Vishwaroopam, the very first comment we hear is - Let this not become a dud like Dasavatharam. Ippove ippidinna future'la nelama mosama thaan irukkum

I've had the same experiences...Box Office collectionsa pathi sonna avanga total turnover kammi thaannu solittu poidranga.....

There was no hype about its success. Was Nammavar not interested in celbrating the success? Confusing !!!

1) Nammavar not celebrating - Even if there was no tiff btw Aascar Ravichandran and Kamal, generally Heroes don't directly do anything to publisize or celebrate a movie's success. But Ravichandran gave hell a lot of Ads and Interviews pointing out its collection. Not sure if Sun Pictures CEO gave an interview to a reputed daily like Economic Times, openly indicating the figures.

2) Hyping shud be done by Producer and Media. For Dasavatharam, Producer didn't do the 1st one. Media agreed to certain extent that it broke ALL records. Only God shud answer why it was NOT hyped by Media. Dasavatharam is a **rare** Blockcuster where there was not a single loss report.

Some stupid Kamal fans are to blame .. why do you trust upon your correct statements on ignorant fools .. those fools will only think we are trying to sell something unreal .. the more we try, the worse it gets .. hence stop this discussion ..

3) When Udayanidhi Stalin **skipped** Dasavatharam from the 2nd biggest Blockbuster list when advertising about 7nth Sense, at some point, this matter was informed to Thalaiver, by some Saga fans and Thalaiver expressed his refusal and anger to them.

4) Kamal reportedly told to a Sun TV reporter, which was video recorded, but reportedly not telecasted(?) that Dasavatharam broke ALL records.

5) The 1st official info that Dasavatharam collected 250+ Crores came via 2 Articles from Economic Times & Hindu.

As he draws gently into his cup of tea, Kamal Haasan displays a composed look. His last movie to hit the screens, Dasavatharam, that was released nearly a year ago, set the cash registers ringing and Haasan's satisfaction with its success is evident. "It was made with budgets that were unheard of in the Tamil film industry and it made four times the kind of money that was possible," he says matter-of-factly of the movie that cost producer, Oscar Ravichandran Rs 60 crore and is said to have raked in over Rs 200 crore with a Hindi version ready for release.

It has been almost an year since Kamal has faced the camera after completing the shooting of the block buster Dasavathaaram, which raked in more than Rs 250 crore worldwide.

Kamal was Sakalakalaa vallavan when that movie released. now he is Master of all Arts and the expertise has grown up in many no of fields. So, for each talent, we shud add a Laka so that it becomes LakaLakaLakaLaka (growing.....) So to cut short it, and also following hub's limit in naming, i have added one extra LAKA and thus it is!

Itntha info ellaam hub Varalaaru MunnOdi gaLukku mattum theriyum!
