Papanasam well into its 4th week of US release/run!!

http://pragathi.com/movies/Papanasam...ets-schedules/




படம் utterஒ utter flop - மிக பெரிய தோல்வி.

படத்தோட மொத்த budget 350 கோடி (Oscaraவிட பெரிய award வாங்கின உலக புகழ் கிப்ரனுக்கு மட்டும் 50 கோடி சம்பளம், படத்தை இயக்கிய ஜீத்து ஜோசெப்க்க்கு 75 கோடி சம்பளம், கலாபவன் மணிக்கு 30 கோடி, மீதி நடிச்ச அத்தனை பேருக்கும், தலா 20-30 கோடி சம்பளம் - கமல்/கௌதமி இவங்க ரெண்டு பேருக்கு மட்டும் daily bata of Rs.300 - அதுவும் அவங்க கேட்டதுக்காக - மணியாச்சி வரைக்கும் போற ரயில்ல செகண்ட் கிளாஸ் two way ticket)..

அந்த 350 கோடில இப்ப தான் 100 கோடி முக்கி முனகி தாண்டிச்சாம் - பாவம்!

Rumor is that both North Carolina and California states were secretly bribed by Sripriya and co, to keep it in theaters even if they were totally empty…thus overshooting their budget of 350 crores by another 100 crores..

This movie is NOT even break even - are you kidding me?!

Typo - 4 weeks has already elapsed .. on its 5th week run. Had happened only during VR. Only difference is that VR made more than a million which is strange.

South Indian superstars always have an upper edge over Bollywood actors in South remakes!

Whenever a South Indian film starring versatile actors like Kamal Haasan, Rajnikanth, Mohanlal or Mahesh Babu is remade into Hindi with top notch Bollywood actors, it is frequently observed that the South Indian superstars have always stolen the action and have had an upper edge over their Bollywood counterparts.

Remember Vinod Khanna in DAYAVAN, remake of Kamal Haasan’s NAYAKAN; Anil Kapoor in EESHWAR, remake of Kamal Haasan’s SWATHI MUTHYAM, Arjun Kapoor in TEVAR, remake of Telugu film OKKADU, starring superstar Mahesh Babu etc. The recently released Ajay Devgn starrer DRISHYAM is also the best example.

DRISHYAM which is a remake of the South superstar Mohanlal’s Malayalam blockbuster by the same name, written and director, Jeethu Joseph. The same movie has also been remade into Tamil as PAPANASAM by Jeethu Joseph with Kamal Haasan in the lead role.

While both Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan have won the hearts of the cine buffs and critics alike by their mindboggling poignant performances alas Ajay Devgan fails to recapture the versatility of his South equivalents.

What is amazing is that these so-called Bollywood Superstar candidly acknowledge too that the South Stars are better than them.

In an interview Ajay frankly accepted, “Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan are fabulous actors and veterans. I'm not scared if people come and tell me that they're better actors because I know there are.”

However what is painful is that instead of learning from them Ajay Devgan has just discarded these veterans quoting, “I am not afraid of Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan because I have no fear from them. They are not my not my contemporaries and I'm not competing with them.”

Ajay Devgan makes this statement so effortlessly that as if Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan would have been his contemporaries and if he had to compete with them then he would have sharpened his skills and easily outscored the two legendary maestros with his histrionics!!!

One wonders why these Bollywood stars make such lame excuses if they do not have the ability to stand in front of such legends.

Interesting Notes :-

As I had mentioned earlier this is not an exhaustive list.

Continuous houseful shows – It means the movie shows have gone houseful in a row. Some movies which are super hit might run for 200 shows as continuous houseful and then register houseful shows intermittently while still doing well

On the number of days I have erred on the lower side and will provide the exact number of days later when I get my hands on my record sheet which unfortunately is back home.

Where I have mentioned 175 days in Madras, it does not mean that the movie did not run for 175 days in other cities in TN.

There are several other movies that have broken box office records but do not figure in this list becoz they did not make it to 175 days or I just missed them and will add to this list later
Upto the mid to late 80’s one of the most popular way to judge the star power of an actor was by the length of the queue for advance booking in Madras. When it came to advance booking there was and there is no other actor/ -star who can hold a candle to Thalaivar. Some of the queues for advance booking for Thalaivar’s movies like Sakalakalavallavan, Ek Duuje Ke Liye, Tik Tik Tik, Thoongathe Thambi Thoongathe, Raja Paarvai, Devar Magan (2nd week), Kuruthipunal were just astounding and cannot be matched by anyone

During MGR’s rule his cronies, even though they were also fans of Thalaivar, did not want anyone to break MGR’s record especially Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban’s record in Madras. Just to give you all some background on Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban –
Was the biggest box office record holder in Tamil films until Sivaji’s Tirisoolam
Ran for 25 weeks (regular shows) and 227 shows continuous houseful in Devi Paradise – Madras
For the advance booking during its release the queue started at Devi Paradise counter on the top floor (those days) and came winding down the ramp on to the car park, spilled on to Mount road and extended into neighbouring Shanthi theatre.

The movie was booked in advance for 28 days which was matched by Thalaivar’s Raja Paarvai (100th Movie)

Whenever a movie threatened Ulagam Sutrum Vaaliban’s record in Devi Paradise and failed the fans of MGR will celebrate by printing some notices or posters till Thalaviar’s Aboorva Sagodharagal broke that record by registering nearly 300 continuous houseful shows

Proof for all the points mentioned above:

How is Hindi Drishyam?

It seems that it has lot of negative reviews.

How is Hindi Drishyam?

It seems that it has lot of negative reviews.

I was just watching the box office update and review for Bollywood in a Hindi Channel.

The review was very negative about the casting of Shriya Saran and Tabu BUT very positive about Ajay's acting and the second half.
