not so long ago, hit films at the time of release, will have all the hyped up reviews (positive and negative), then as clear picture emerges , more balanced reviews, then when it is clear that it is going to be a good hit, the nuances of the movies will be discussed and then about individual liked scenes, songs etc., over a period of time, there will be diversions but discussions mostly will be around movie and after that it would be about awards (if any), achievements (box office records) etc., but now after one or two weeks all discussion about collections, collections only......today's tamil film industry la than ippadi irukkanganna (not caring about star / his credentials but only about whether they are getting the money they expect) , fans um appadiye aagitaanga........ is this for good?

Discussing only about Collections is not a good thing.. But General public discuss about the scenes they liked and performance of the artists.. Fans too discuss the nuances of the film. But the fanboy want to project their favourite actor is the best, start shouting about the collections it made.
In democracy nobody wants to be in the losing side.
Nowadays Cinema is becoming more of a money spinner rather than art. KH is a kind of artist want to make people happy through art, get fame and name first... Money is anyway will come if more and more people watch and appreciate. Art and true artist will be the winner...

Record-breaking Kamal Haasan-Gautami starrer Papanasam has become the first Tamil film in 2015 to enter the Rs.100-crore club in respect of its theatrical collections.

Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Papanasam is the Tamil remake of the Malayalam super-hit film Drushyam which starred Mohanlal and Meena. The film, incidentally, courted huge success in its Telugu and Kannada remakes as well (Venkatesh and Ravichandran played the lead roles in these films). The Hindi version, titled Drishyam and starring Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran and Tabu, is to release in theatres this Friday (31st July).

Papanasam, which released in theatres on 03rd July, has been running to packed houses and surprisingly enough, the colossal success of Baahubali hasn’t eaten into the family audiences’ yearning to watch the film repeatedly. Jeethu, who had directed Malayalam version, had debuted in Tamil as director with the film which also had Asha Sarath and ‘Kalabhavan’ Mani in prominent roles.

The film’s success is a huge boost to Kamal Haasan who is shooting non-stop for his upcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual Thoongavanam.

The Kamal Haasan - Gautami starrer Papanasam enters the 25th day of its run today. It has held on strong despite the back to back releases of biggies such as Baahubali and Maari. Papanasam had a solo run for just a week before these other films came by. But still, the strong word of mouth and the fabulous content of the film have made Papanasam a crowd favorite, particularly among the family audiences.

This remake of Drishyam is a genuine Hit as we have declared in our Chennai city box office report, and Kamal would be looking to take the winning momentum forward with his next Thoongavanam as well.

Kudos to Team Papanasam. We have to see for how long the film can go ahead.

I dont think you are a fan of an actor if your worship is about putting other actors down with rude comments. Can you bury the hatchet and start having healthy discussions about the movie instead?

எதுக்காக கோபம்?. தமிழ் சினிமாவில் தனது அந்தஸ்தை தக்க வைத்துக் கொள்ள நடிகர்கள் என்ன மாதிரி வேலைகள் செய்கிறார்கள் என சொல்வது தப்பா?

உண்மையை சொன்னால் அவரது ரசிகர்களுக்கு 'rude ' ஆகத் தான் தெரியும் என்ன பண்ணுறது.
