Bala, nice post. Couple of points. Ajith - disbanding fan clubs should not be used *against* him w.r.to collections. Its actually the other way around. I don't mean to say he deliberately did that but now everybody likes him. His off-screen persona is his biggest strength.

Also as I said earlier, anybody can beat the Chennai opening record. Even sangarji's next "I", with well-cut trailers and chartbuster songs (which is a given) can very well beat Enthiran/B2's opening record. But sustenance, its only Rajini-Kamal in any part of the world. And Ajith has a LO..NG way to go w.r.to overseas market. Even Surya's films are sold >> than Ajith's overseas.

Btw, I d have to give it to Kamal fans for one thing - at least a section of the public still think 10A > Sivaji. I have absolutely no interest in that debate, so no more posts on this please.
