'Papanasam' continues second successful week in Texas areas - despite the other big release 'Bahubali' !

Watching tomorrow!

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Why are you shooting yourself in your foot this way?

அப்போ நீங்களே பகிரங்கமா "எங்களால தான் அவரு வித விதமா நடிக்க மாட்டேன்கரார்"னு சொல்றீங்களா?

அப்படி அவரு நடிச்சா என்ன வூடு பூந்து அவரையே அடிப்பீங்களா என்ன? அந்த rangeல பேசுற மாதிரி இருக்கு.

உங்க மேல பரிதாபப்படறதா, இல்ல ரஜினி மேல பரிதாபப்படறதா? கொடுமை

No, I have never meant it like that, I will delete the comment .

He probably wanted to give the movie another dimension.

It is, not denying that .. Infact Kamal asked Jeethu if he could add more emotions to the role for the tamil audience and Jeethu readily and gladly agreed. But with Rajini, there may have been other elements that could have been introduced. Not sure. Those were his opinion ..

"Rajinikanth sir really liked the story when he heard it. Jeethu felt he could add a different dimension to the film with his presence. But Rajini sir had issues with two scenes," a source told IANS.

There's good chance he might get another script for him as a link said with Rajini also looking to try something else ..

[joe]

Rajini is first choice of one of the producers ,not Jeethu.he told it very clearly in sun TV interview.his one only choice is kamalhasan . he also said otherwise he reject this offer :claps:

Yes , I have seen that .

Grateful to Mohanlal for Recommending Me in 'Papanasam', Says Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan starrer "Papanasam", which was released last Friday, got an overwhelming response, with the actor's role as a common man in the remake version of hit Malayalam movie "Drishyam" receiving a lot of appreciation.

His portrayal of a local cable operator and an attempt to speak Tamil with Thirunalveli accent have been praised by many viewers.

Basking in the success of the movie, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan has said he is grateful to Malayalam superstar Mohanlal for recommending him to play the lead in "Papansam".

"I heard it from somebody that Mohanlal wished to see me star in the remake of 'Drishyam'. He felt I'd do justice to the film and recommended by name. I'm thankful to him for that because rarely do stars like me get to work in such lovely films," Haasan told IANS.

"Papanasam" has been directed by by Jeethu Joseph , who had also directed the original Malayalam version.

The performances of other actors including Gautami, Asha Sarath, Niveda Thomas, Kalabhavan Mani, Esther Anil, Ananth Mahadevan, MS Bhaksra, Roshan Basheer, Delhi Ganesh, Ilavarasau, Arul Dass and Sree Ram has also been lauded.

Meanwhile, the Hindi version of "Drishyam" starring Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran is set for its release on 31 July.

Venkki,

I dont want to argue about this anymore, but there's no need for Kamal to thank Mohanlal if its only Jeethu .. Jeethu did approach Rajini. Check all the links from my post .. unless all the links are not valid!

[vikatan]

Mohanlal, in the late 80's and early 90s perhaps gave some of the finest movies that India has seen...(my opinion). Movies like Chitram, Bharatham, Surya Gayathri, TP Balamakumaran MA had Lal essay the role of the common man, the normal guy next door, a caring brother, a regular husband...And again in my opinion, nobody has matched him in these kind of roles.

Kreedam for example. Lal's greatness can be understood by looking at how bad the remakes in Tamil and Hindi were.

Having said that, I would rate Kamal's performance in Papanasam a notch higher than Lal's Drishyam.

George Kutty was a role tailor made for Lal. But I felt that it did not bring out the best in him. The master actor just breezed through his role. Nothing special for him. The story and screen play were the real heroes in Drishyam.

Bharatham would be example, where Lal did something extraordinary in his common man's role. It was a scintillating performance which haunted me for weeks after watching the movie. Karthik who himself is not a bad actor, would have realized that there some roles that only Mohanlal can do, when he reprised Lal's in Seenu (the pathetic Tamil remake of Bharatham).

The reason I think that Kamal's performance is better, is because he has truly breathed a lot of life into Suyambulingam. The scenes where Suyambu assures his scared daughter that he will protect her, hugs her and then looks at his wife with utter helplessness and also fear, looked much more realistic than the George Kutty. One would expect a father in that situation to behave exactly like that.

The final scene too. People say that Lals' performance reflects George Kutty's inherent coldness. I don't know. Again, here I felt Kamal's expression and words showing his guilt were much more realistic. Though Suyambu has a ruthless calculating side, he also can empathize with the feelings of another father.

As a Mohan lal fan, I would say that Kamal has outdone Lal in this movie.

Rajini first choice nu director ninaicha was that an insult to Kamal or the other way around? y this fight? Enthiran was first scripted for Kamal and then came to Rajini..... He gave it his own flavor..... Kamal would have pulled a different trick if he had acted in that..... athu vera oru vithathula nalla irunthirukkum......avlothan.... like kamal himself said..... it is like how various singers recite the same song in a concert......

Had kamal also refused papanasam, jeethu would have gone for Sarathkumar (50+ heroes vera yaarum ippo nybagathukku vara maatengranga)

The issue of who was the first choice and not - was brought here by whom?

What matters is who did the role and how it was treated and how it has been received by both critics and the public..

'Papanasam''s success is reminiscent of how 80s movies like 'Poovizhi vaasaliley', 'Aan paavam' and 'Nayagan' became sensational hits ONLY through word-of-mouth and not any publicity stunts, which every biggie star (including Kamal) these days is guilty of…

Jeetu Joseph and co deserve all the praise for bringing the crowds back to halls purely based on cinematic content and performances - a hugely welcome sign…..

At last even Outlook India gives a positive review!

http://www.outlookindia.com/article/papanasam/294804

Contrary to what many have opine about Gautami's role, the review says "...with Gautami giving him graceful company. The surprise is the genteel, suffering Anant Mahadevan. Ajay Devgan has quite a task ahead as he heads the cast for the Hindi version…."

[kumarsr]

When the movie is good, everyone (including North Indians) appreciate unreservedly.

Here's what the same reviewer in Outlook feels about Vishwaroopam:
Vishwaroop kickstarts like a comic book. The ditsy slapstick routine in the midst of gory villainy in NY tells you: don’t take this seriously. But only for a brief while. As the scene shifts to bleak Afghan landscapes and Al Qaeda training grounds, the stereotype “Islamic terrorist” emb*edded in our collective consciousness post-9/11 gets reinfor*ced onscreen—the bru*tality, ort*h*odoxy, obduracy, it’s all there. It’s a cruel world where “zubaan koi bhi ho, boli jehadi hi honi chahiye”. Severed limbs, lifeless bodies, spurting blood—you wonder why you are seeing these killing fields images all over again, in yet another film. Meanwhile, our hero Tau*fik finds Buddha-like enlightenment. He is the one good Muslim taking on the many rogues from his community to save New York from the “dirty bomb” even as the rather daft FBI agents ask him, “Jeez man, who are you?” He is the one good Muslim who “redeems” the many who have gone astray.

Cut to Hansal Mehta’s Shahid. Based on the life of activist-lawyer Shahid Azmi, who was allegedly killed for defending Mumbai bombing accused Fahim Ansari, this too begins with protracted seq*uen*ces of Shahid in jehadi camps. But unlike Vishwaroop, it settles down to focus on the dilemmas of a lower middle-class Muslim family. No demonising, exoticising or romanticising. “My atte*mpt was to humanise,” says Mehta. After a few devastating episodes—riots, jeh*a*di camps, jail—Shahid prefers the path of the law, fighting for the accused in court, to going on Taufik-like revenge mode. The gentle Shahid stands on the fringes, and Vishwa*roop shows how the heavy-handed, sweeping Muslim stereotypes dominate our mainstream cinema.

What is wrong with first 20 minutes? No opening song with self praising lyrics?
First 20 minutes test the patience and the film really starts after the daughter-Gautam-Villan scene. From then onwards, the screenplay is so racy and it was neatly edited. Had he trimmed that as well, it would become a perfect murder investigation movie. This is not a major flow but a minor P3/P4 issue. Gautami was a P2 bug.

I am a fan of murder investigation documentaries like NNT, Solved etc where the context is set within the first 5 mins. So, I felt the first 20 mins can be trimmed to make it even more racier.

Nice. The fact the you felt the duration was 20 minutes before the daughter-Gautami-villain scene it self explains it was great. That 40 or more minutes made you feel it was done in 20 minutes.
Thank you Jeetu.

Th first 40 minutes are not only required to set up the plot and charecter, it is also very much needed for the later half of the film:

1. Kamal digging the pit for natural fertilizer
2. Kamal and Kalabavan Mani's tiffs in tea shop for several reasons.
3. Sequence of police station building and related cement storage in his godown
4. Sequence which tells kamal is always late to home as he is at office

You take out even one of these, the second half will have a plot hole. Its so tightly knit.

When we read a novel, high points of a novel come only in few pages - approaching a work of art needs some patience and little effort from the viewer.

5. Suyambulingam watches soft porn as well. That might be another factor contributing to his guilt. He probably will never be able to bring himself to watch one after the incident.
6. His well-known stingy nature, which he would use later to explain his keeping all the bills. Also to justify him not having a mobile.
7. Habeas Corpus reference to hint the character's learning from cinema and to make Tea shop owner tell that in interrogation, giving a turning point in IG's thought process
8. Pasamalar scene to hint the audience on sentimentality of the character, which would invariably feel the pain (even the enacted ones) of the other as his own. A sobbing mother and a helpless, sad father in front of him, he is definite to feel their pain and behave the way he did.
9. His tiffs with the constable, growing enmity and also to infuse suspicion when he stops doing that post the incident

[vikatan]

Cant resist one more Mohanlal post, sorry.

Papanasam must be the first Lal remake that has matched or outshone the original. With the exception of Pandiayarajan & Sve.Sekar's Kadhanaayagan (NadodiKaathu in Malayalam), all previous attempts to remake Lal movies in Tamil or Hindi were disasters in my opinion. Chandramukhi and Muthu will be considered okay films, as long people have not seen the original Lal versions. Cheenu, Aaha and Kreedom were insults to Lal, I think.

Superb! Reading all this, one gets much more assured that its ONLY Kamal who is deservingly fit to remake Papanasam! Not just becos of the fine layers he added to the tamil version, but also that its only he as an actor who has his films stories well knit and connected throughout. Any small thing shown in initial parts of his films will never go waste. they will form the reason of some events happening in the later part of the film.

Not only that, its KH who always campaigns for less no of songs. and even if more songs, he will make sure they are part of narrative and not just songs for commercial heck. Even in UV, each and every song had a reason and was part of the narration. Likewise, original Drishyam itself had songs well blent to the movie and didnt stand out!

If Papanasam was a Gold Script by Jeethu, which is very rare status to attain, Kamal added layers and made it Platinum!!

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Papanasam Rocking in TN and also in couple of overseas too in BO! Just see the tweets! Seems more shows in 2nd weekend in many places and Bahubali not able to touch Papanasam in most places!!``

https://twitter.com/KamalHaasanFans

And see that biased BO analysts like sridhar thollai not even uttering the real BO status of Papanasam and totally concentrating on other movies only. When a KH film is rocking in BO, he will never open his mouth to say that. Such a biased media

[NOV]

Papanasam again!
Why?
Because it's soooooooooo good!

Checked several cinemas here in Malaysia ...most are packed, and that's why had to go to different cinema than my normal one.

Super packed and for the second time after Dasavatharam) audience clapped at the end!

Shocking since its already 10 days.
Guess it's going to break all previous box office records!

It is very simple..

Producers want to cast super star... But Jeethu had KH in mind..

Sripriya approached Kamal for acting in the movie. KH watched the movie and suggested some changes..

Georgu kutty's change to Suyambulingam was suggested by KH.. also suggested to change the climax bit emotional.

Recommended Jeyamohan as dialogue writer and Suka for properly pronouncing the Nellai Dialect...

Simple movie, Super script, 35 days of shooting... Superb output... KH would have got the message of the TN cinema watching crowd...

[kumarsr]

Sometimes I feel that if Kamal's involvement is restricted to acting with a few tips on the story line and other places, it would be enough to result in a good outcome (box office wise). I understand that box office result is not everything. But this is perhaps the central message of Papanasam's success. Basically, just find a great story (that is suitable for Kamal) and a confident director to helm it (preferably someone who can "own" the story) and the rest will take care of itself.

Even the most vilest of Kamal haters would secretly admit that he has set for himself very high standards while leaving others far behind...

Scripts like that of Dhrishyam come once in a blue moon - Vishal Bharadwaj, Pankaj Mishra, Mysskin, are some of the newbees who can probably come up with scripts to satisfy Kamal..

He gave it his own flavor..... Kamal would have pulled a different trick if he had acted in that..... athu vera oru vithathula nalla irunthirukkum......avlothan.... like kamal himself said..... it is like how various singers recite the same song in a concert......

Had kamal also refused papanasam, jeethu would have gone for Sarathkumar (50+ heroes vera yaarum ippo nybagathukku vara maatengranga)

Exactly. I have no idea either why some are taking this personally .. Its not a big deal for the script to reach Rajini first who didn't find it apt for himself and got to Kamal after.

Actually there were talks that time about Vikram expressing interest in doing the remake.

Anyways, all's well now.

Agree that Drishyam script was very good and suits Kamal to a T.

Problem is when he directs or gets closely involved (with his own story etc), the final product lacks something (hard to pinpoint precisely). It does not satisfy others much beyond his fan base. It is not that he sets a high standard but I think the real problem is, he may have different sensibilities, level of thinking etc. There should be a hook that connects him with the audience. If the audience is left behind, result is not good. So he should take care not to leave the audience far behind. I am sure that is not his intention also. But, Papanasam is a huge contrast to UV. No doubt about it. People's reaction, comments for PN is very different, super positive.

Good, interesting scripts are there....just too hard to believe that there are not many good stories that would interest him. I just feel that he should not allow his creator instincts to overwhelm everything else (this is also where some excesses could creep in). The creator sometimes is not satisfied with anything that he himself did not create, unless it is conclusively proven otherwise. Only way to conclusively prove and to satisfy a creator like KH is not by reciting a new story but by making the movie in a different language and proving it as a hit. I am thinking that was how he was convinced about UPO and now PN, after he was able to see the final output and convinced himself that he likes it.

Very true...should add Virumandi as well. but Dasa and Viswaroopam somehow did not create the same impact not to mention MMA and UV. Why?

This is not to say Dasa and VR were not huge money spinners but overall impact was not the same.

Dasa and VR were created with universal themes, emotional quotient is lesser. Because of that one may feel that impact was missing.

Papanaasam - a lesson in good cinema.

I cant tell anything new that hasnt been said in reviews. I am not a fan of drama movies, and will never be. Once in a while there are some movies that proves me wrong. Papanasam is one such movie. Performance wise, there are no other actors in kollywood who could do the character justice like Kamalhaasan did. Unlike otheres I dont feel Gouthami is wrong cast in the movie. She is still an ace actress imo, and none of current leading female actresses matches her acting skills. Two other characters that impressed me was Kalabhavan Mani and Asha Sharath. Kalabhavan Mani, can pull of such vile roles with ease. Asha Sharath is convincing as well as IG as a mother.

Mighty impressed with M Ghibran once again, his BGM is superb. Songs were great too. But again I dont feel songs were needed. I am hoping for directors will change tamilcinema into non-song oriented movies in near future.

Big thanks for Jeethu Joseph for making such great movie. With gripping story, captivating screen play,right cast and right technicians this movie is one of the best movies in 2015.

Fantastic movie. Brilliantly done. The climax was exceptional. BGM was fabulous. I cannot find the words to describe Kamal's acting.

Papanasam again!
Why?
Because it's soooooooooo good!

Checked several cinemas here in Malaysia ...most are packed, and that's why had to go to different cinema than my normal one.

Super packed and for the second time after Dasavatharam) audience clapped at the end!

Shocking since its already 10 days.
Guess it's going to break all previous box office records!

Looks like Papanasam has collected lesser than Bahubali...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJyfdigUwAAasUS.jpg

[cinema]

Look at this link. For Baahubali the collection matches with behind woods
But for papanasam it is at least 1 crore higher. Kamal movies are always reported less. So ignore box office collection of behind woods when it comes to Kamal movies.http://www.filmibeat.com/tamil/news/2015/papanasam-2-nd-second-week-box-office-collections-performs-well-in-chennai-190426.html

1. True, but you are comparing a 2 day old movie with a 12 day old movie. So for that weekend it may have collected more.

2. This is only at GSC chain of cinemas. There are others like TGV, MBO and the huge network, LFS.
Those are all unaccounted for.

Yes Malaysia. Enakkoru unma therinjaganum.
As per this site, Malaysia collections are too low - Just $458,817 after 2 weeks. Top 10 illa....Top 50 la kooda varale. Even UV collected $723,816 (All time rank 37)
If Papanasam is doing so well, why is the number low? Are they not reporting collections from all locations?

Even their figures is not the whole picture as they only account for the major chains.
So whatever they report is not the final figure but only an indication.

As for your link, no go for me too - they copied from the figures I painstakingly recorded many years ago. You can check the previous thread on BO.

Don't worry about the BO figures H_H. Entire TN, the WOM is very good and people are very happy with this movie.. Houseful shows in almost all centers... BO figures may not be correct and they will not disclose the exact numbers since they need to pay 30% tax for this movie. Other than Chennai and Covai main theaters, the collection figures will be shown less due to tax.

[Raajjaa]

Even in 12th day all evening shows are full in satyam cinemas which is excellent.

http://www.spicinemas.in/chennai/now-showing/papanasam/

Maximum It can collect 4.5 to 5 crores and it will be declared as HIT or SUPER HIT.

[avavh3]

one mundane thought:

ticket rates remain the same. how a movie can be named hit/super hit/BB merely by its net collection? budget of the movie should also be taken into account. these BO figures are really confusing and misleading.

vadapalani area theatres(kamala and avm) are doing good compared with other areas. continuously all matinee and evening shows are full.

anything special in that area?

Thats right CR. Papanasam is doing too well everywhere. Not just in A,B, C centers of TN but in Mumbai too. sg-cafe tweeted that shows are are houseful in Singapore also. TN theatres like trichymovies, vettritheatres too keep tweeting about its excellent performance. But why is it that NONE of the major sites/magazines are even acknowledging the success. This is very similar to the silence we saw during Dasavatharam and Vishwaroopam release. Now Sify went one step ahead and called it 'Average' in their recent CBO report. Behindwoods keeps maintaining the same status 'Grand Opening' for more than 2 weeks. Newspapers like Indian Express are so busy dissecting the BO accomplishments of Bahubali that they forget to note that a small movie, probably made with 1/5th the budget and released one week before Bahubali is giving it a tough fight in TN. In fact in TN interiors there is no fight. Papanasam takes a huge lead there.

In Chennai single theaters retaining papanasam with matinee ,evening shows despite maari release eating its crucial evening crowd..

Not even an indication. Looks like its nowhere close to reality. Why does this happen to Papanasam only and not other movies released this year? As oer their reports (which are now getting re-published by several other sites), Papanasam which is running so well, especially in TN, Malaysia and SG has grossed just half of Kaaki Chattai and is in position 47, next to Poda Podi! And these guys say it is the total gross from 68 locations in Malaysia which is unbelievable.

Director Jeethu Joseph discusses his well-reviewed film.

http://www.rediff.com/movies/report/kamal-haasan-said-his-greatest-challenge-was-that-mohanlal-did-the-original/20150715.htm
Malayalam filmmaker Jeethu Joseph's latest film Papanasam, starring Kamal Haasan, is getting rave reviews.

The film is the Tamil version of Mohanlal's Malayalam blockbuster Drishyam, directed by Jeethu himself. In an exclusive interview with Rediff.com contributor Vijay George, the ace director talks about Papanasam and his forthcoming projects.

How is the reaction to Papanasam?
I am feeling very happy. If you ask me if such reviews were expected, I would say since there is a cultural difference, we were curious about how the viewers would react. But the original had a fabulous run in Malayalam and receiving such a response from the Tamil audience is so exciting.

There are reports that Papanasam was rejected by Rajnikanth, before Kamal Haasan agreed to do it.
Not exactly. During the initial discussions, the producers asked about my favourite choices to play the lead in Tamil. I thought either Rajni sir or Kamal sir should do it. Both of them saw Drishyam. Rajni sir liked it but he was not sure about how his fans would accept certain scenes, if he were to do it. Like the scene where he is beaten up by a cop. Meanwhile, Kamal sir loved the film and agreed to do it. Later, Rajni sir was willing to take it up but by then, the project was already on with Kamal sir. We conveyed it to Rajni sir and he was fine with it.

You made the film in Malayalam and Tamil. Was the second experience any different?
I couldn't add more to the original beyond a point and obviously, the fun of creating something new was missing.The main area of difference was the characterisation of Kamal Haasan. When Swayambhulingam was created, his mannerisms and behavior was given a different dimension. Whenever such a change was made, I felt interested.

There have been obvious comparisons made between the acting styles of Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal. Did you discuss them while venturing into this project?
Even during our initial discussions, Kamal sir said his greatest challenge was that a terrific actor like Mohanlal did the original. He had to look different, without the core of the subject being changed. He asked me what kind of person Georgekutty (Mohanlal's character in Drishyam) is. I told him that he is bold and even when he is scared, Georgekutty won't show it. Kamal sir's character Swayambhulingam has been presented as a normal guy, who is not that bold. We have also worked on the mannerisms and style.

You have directed the Malayalam and Tamil versions of Drishyam. What is your opinion about the Telugu and Kannada versions, which were directed by other filmmakers?
I have not seen the Kannada and Telugu versions yet.

What is your reaction to the trailer of Hindi version, starring Ajay Devgn?
I loved the trailer and it has been presented in a really different way, revealing more about the story than what I did in the Malayalam or Tamil versions. I am looking forward to watching it.

The pirated copies of Papanasam have created a crisis of sorts. What is your take on the issue of piracy?
It is so sad. Even if we forget the efforts put in by the artistes and technicians, what about the investment made by the producer? There should be strict measures against this menace.

You have also completed Life of Josootty, with Dileep in the lead. What is the film about?
It's the life of a person from 10 to 40 years. It's a simple tale, with no real twists or suspense.

What next?
I am in the process of completing the script for my next film, with Prithviraj. It's an action film. I have also announced another film with Kavya Madhavan in the lead. There are also a few offers from Tamil.

One liners dont make a classic..

The current version is better than the previous two installments but is still doing some rounds in the halls thanks mainly to franchise fans most of whom are not satisfied either..

#Papanasam Is Super Hit
#Bahubali Is Blockbuster
Both Doing Well In TN , So New Releases May Suffer For Good Occupancy

if Singapore is running that well, the scene shud be no different in malaysia too, i guess!

if Singapore is running that well, the scene shud be no different in malaysia too, i guess!Please do not EVER, EVER lump Malaysia with Singapore
The latter is minuscule compared to Malaysia, both in population and in BO. For a comparison, there are more cinemas playing in a SINGLE state of Malaysia compared to the WHOLE of Singapore.

Nov AnnE,

Any idea on how many theaters Papanasam will continue for this weekend..

[NOV]

Will be greatly reduced, because of Eid festival tomorrow. More halls for compulsory screenings of Malay movies.
Also Maari will open big.

Checked Singapore Status randomly

Papanasam - Reduced the shows 50 % , booking not bad
Maari - Less Screens compare to Bahubali - booking good
Bahubali - Rock steady , Booking is extraodinary

[irir123]

Prime media is not continuing Papanasam shows in Texas after today - I dont know about other areas in NA

[NOV]

Checked Malaysia Status for tomorrow

Papanasam - 25 cinemas
Maari - 41 cinemas (many cinemas showing in more than one screen)
Bahubali - 56 cinemas
Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 8 cinemas :rotfl:

Three shows for today and shows for tomorrow are not listed @nc. Most likely not. But in general collections for Papanasam in the US are sucking wind .. very disappointing for a Kamal strong hold. UV made about 700k - although less than a million, its still good considering that its a ave-below ave overall. What happened to our makkal .. dont want to watch a great movie or what !?

forget the 700K value - lets see how much did PN make in terms of returns vs actual investment vs amount for which it was sold - that margin will tell the tale

Well, wrt. to ROI, PN is far ahead despite the rejection of tax exemption. Not the case for UV which barely broke even. I dont think we'll hear the actuals on PN as they'd want to shield their income from further taxation. But a super-hit nonetheless.

Wishing he makes more movie like this ...

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

US population heavily consume the hi res movie online/downloads due to enormous bandwidth. that is for usual mokkai movie itself. now that most of them have clearly seen drishyam multiple times, they are not a fresh population for that film and are not interested in spending dollars and time for a mostly known movie. i guess they will make it a hit via herotalkies kinda portals where the cost is much lesser for whole family!

Call it the 'soora mokkai' NRI US population most of whom dont even have the courtesy to watch a movie in silence, respecting others watching in the same hall..

I had the very satisfying experience of watching 4-5 kiddos (in their 20s) getting kicked out of a hall for constantly chatting while the movie was on - much to the annoyance of others in the hall!

What caught my attention is the last paragraph .. So seems like 100c is indeed doable.

Shruti Haasan floored by Her Dad

Shruti Haasan organized a special screening of her father Kamal Haasan's latest super hit "Papanasam" for her friends and colleagues. Kamal Haasan’s stunning performance in the film obviously floored everyone and Shruti has tweeted about the experience.

Finally watched papanasam today and the whole team has put forth such a splendid film and I'm so so so proud of my Bapuji :)

Meanwhile ‘Papanasam’ is said to be moving into the 100 Crore club as it is continuing to draw family audiences well into its third weekend drawing on the stellar performances of Kamal, Asha Sarath, Kalabhavan Mani and the rest of the cast and the gripping direction by Jeethu Joseph.

I had very much assumed, back on July 8th, that PP will cross 100C. Sometimes fans themselves become too defensive, doubtful even suspicious regarding the box office potential of KH. Papanasam is a sure hit no matter what other say.


If Papanasam crosses 100 Cr+ (which I think it will), it will be a big achievement. In terms of % return, Papanasam will likely be #1 by end of 2016.

No, not like that .. its more of cautious optimism before talking big numbers w/o seeing actuals. Just dont want it to be in the butt of all jokes. If you were to refer to the initial posts in the UV thread, I had mentioned right then when the UV audio came out that its PN that'll hold the pulse of the audience and not UV - which has a disconnect no matter what fans rave about UV. And sure enough, we're seeing it now.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Appreciate KumarSR's confidence!!! Papanasam is simply Rocking at BO!! :clap: :thumbsup:

Chennai & Bangalore - almost all shows are sold out for the entire weekend in many halls- even 9:30AM shows - now thats something for a film's third weekend!

I was just making a point Bill. I know you are right on the mark most of the time. I was making a general comment because most of us keep worrying about box office results for PN when we should be celebrating. The result for PN is different from UV - we all can feel it. That said, we also know KH seems to have some powerful enemies, especially political. Non-tax exemption and pirated versions so early may have had an impact.

This is the real situation in Tamil Nadu. I visited coimbatore last week, it still runs in 6 theatre complexes. It got released in 8 complexes. I saw the movie 2 times in coimbatore. Both the time, I saw lot of family audiences. Family consists of 70 years old to 6 year old. It's very rare now-a-days. In lot of small centres like Udumalai, Mettupalayam, it still runs with good crowd. In Pollachi, it still runs in 2 theatres. In Tirupur, it runs in 8 theatres. Only reduction is in Erode, it was released in 2 theatres, but, now it runs in 1 theatre.

But, the so called BO sites saying only as HIT. Luckily, they couldn't declare it as flop as they did easily for UV.

As usual, the producers ditched the fans regarding the collection.

[irir123]

I remember when some of the one and only inimitable TR's films used to be forcefully run in some theaters - 'vera vazhi illa, neenga indha avalathha paarthey aaganum' case…

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

After Dasavatharam again we see heavily under reported BO numbers being spread by Dananjeyan and many other uppuma Trade analysts, including the main Rava Uppuma Analyst Sreedhar thollai.

Producers too are wantedly keeping mum becos of tax issue, but i guess there is another reason for Papanasam being wantedly under and mis reported. That is Nadigar Sangam elections!

Kamal as we know is always not a side taker for selfish reasons. He always wants to clean the industry and keep it professional. It will be very natural to understand that he expects Nadigar Sangam to be honest and do useful things and help the industry. Not just Nadigar sangam but all sangams. But among all, Nadigar Sangam is the most powerful one as it has more power, and money in its Gajaanaa than other sangams. So naturally politics and corruption keeps happening for long time. Esp naattaamai and Kooja Ravi aka Radha ravi the main and ling time suspects. (A Big Royal Salute to Captain Vijayakanth here!) Buggers use to change camps whenever power changes in TN Govt so that they can illegaly continue to be the main torchbearers and get support and no issues from the power.

so for long time, many good ppl incl kamal, wud have thot this shud change and good ppl, young ppl shud come. Thus Vishal and Naaser are doing field work and are opposing Naattamai/Koojaa Ravi in elections, a very dare and rare feat. (And the election now stands banned via court, hope ppl are aware of happenings in this regard) And naturally kamal the bold artist is supporting them indirectly. And this shud be the main reason for kamal's current blockbuster being given lesser status. Expect more issues for thalaiver's new and upcoming films too but our man is never worried and have more courage and hnesty to face them!

As a kamal fan, i shall not like to bluff things out of imagination! So here are some infos below, supporting my views above!

1) http://www.dinamalar.com/news_detail.asp?id=1297613
நடிகர் சங்க கட்டட விவகாரத்தில், வெள்ளை அறிக்கை கேட்ட மனுவில், கமல் முதல் கையெழுத்திட்டார். :clap: :bow:

2) Same link - கூட்டத்தில், ராதாரவி, கமலை ஒருமையில் பேசி, அவரை கடுமையாக விமர்சித்தார். இது சின்னத்திரை நடிகர்களுக்கு, பெரும் அதிர்ச்சியை அளித்தது; சிலர் வெளிநடப்பு செய்தனர்.

3) youtube.com/watch?v=Rwdf03FcqVA … (https://t.co/fbhmsGaKFZ) Vishal indirectly saying thalaiver is supporting his camp for good cause!

(https://twitter.com/tekvijay) விஷால்:- கமல்சார் எங்களை ஆதரிக்கிறார் ஆதரிக்கலைனு சொல்லவரலை ஆனா நல்ல மாற்றம் நடக்கணும்னு எல்லாருமே விரும்பறாங்க அதுல கமல்சாரும் இருக்கார்

(Seeing all this, one naturally wud like to know where is the another ஈர்ப்பு முனை of TFI, hoping he too shud do something good to this industry which helped him grow and attain this status)
வாழ்க ஜனநாயகம்! வருக மருதநாயகம்!

Hi Raajjaa! how are you?! why no response to my post?! asking this to all the other silent fans of thalaiver too! :)

[irir123]

For all of your inbormeyson - Dasa ran for an entire month here in the Houston area - and I could catch it only during its last weekend run due to work…

PN is running in many areas in the US 3rd week - its impossible to have a poor BO! I also learnt that Prime Media distributing Indian films (including Uttama Villain) had to take off PN from texas only coz of prior commitments to release other films - and NOT coz of PN's performance - and PM has already released UV through googleplay and is there is now a heavy demand for PN to be released on iTunes as well as google play!

So what SKV says abt the nadigar sangam nonsense is likely to be a contributing factor to this underreporting - but it doesn't still make sense - what if distributors and theater owners reported the actual status? won't they? or are they part of this nadigar sangam network? and get influenced by the split groups?

அடுத்த முறை யாராச்சும் கமல்கிட்ட மைக்கை நீட்டும்போது, ஏன் உங்களோட படத்திற்கு தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் தரப்பிலிருந்து முறையாக வசூல் நிலவரம் வெளிவருவதில்லை, ஏன் உங்களுடைய படங்களின் வசூலை ஊடகம் சரியான விதத்தில் மக்களுக்கு கொண்டு செல்வதில்லை? என கேள்வி கேளுங்கள். கமல்கிட்டதான் கேட்கனும்னு அவசியம் கிடையாது. ட்வீட்டர் போன்ற தளத்தில் இருக்கும் ஊடகவியலார்கள், கமலுடன் இதுவரை இணைந்த தயாரிப்பாளர்கள் போன்றவர்களிடம் கேள்வியை எழுப்பனும். சரியான பதில் வராமல் இருந்தாலும் பரவாயில்லை. ஆனால் இதுபோன்று கேள்வி கேட்கவும் ஆள் இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதை வசூல் நிலவர பண்டிதர்களாக நடைபோடும் மனிதர்களும், அவர்கள் சொல்வதையே வேதவாக்காக எழுதித் தள்ளும் ஊடகங்களும் உணரும் காலம் வந்துவிட்டது. சினிமாவில், ரசனையில் நமக்கென்று ஒரு முகவரி இருக்கு. அது வணிகத்தில் மட்டும் அங்கீகரிக்கப் படாமல் இருப்பது சரியல்ல.

irir123, theaters are tracked by distributors who are tracked by producers. and all 3 of them surely hiding numbers for BO Sake. And the high hands surely have a control on the self appointed so called bo pundits and trade analysts of social media. And surely they wud like to trouble kamal in a way or two, for his peeking nose into nadigar sangam elections for trying to bring in honesty and transparency.

There is some Nadigar Sangam issue going on for sure and Kamal involved in that. When I was in Coimbatore, I found some political magazines carrying some news about this and Kamal photo was also there in the pamphlets. As it is a Nadigar sangam issue, I didn't bother to check. During, the Papanasam Thanks meet also, some body raised question about Nadigar Sangam and he didn't answer.

In coimbatore, the FM radios are discussing the papanasam's theme and success extensively. I heard while traveling in cabs during my stay. The theatres have festive atmosphere.

In web sites and twitter, it's average.

The very active producers before release of the movie are very silent in twitter after release.

The same guys are for Thoongavanam also.

சினிமாவில், ரசனையில் நமக்கென்று ஒரு முகவரி இருக்கு. அது வணிகத்தில் மட்டும் அங்கீகரிக்கப் படாமல் இருப்பது சரியல்ல.

Venki, there are more layers than what we think of. Today;s stars are bigger and want to become more and more bigger by every film. At a point when bubble bursts very badly, only then they go back to their roots. but anyways thats their own part of story. Now these bigger forces have in a way or other, made themselves into a some sort of BO top actors list. and these actors who are in that list, always attempts commercial movies only. they always try to feed their 1st row bench fans, and surely will do films which have heroism without fail. this apart, each one of these actors keep on doing some sort of balancing act behind the wraps, constantly, to keep themselves in their current position and also to increase that. And for all these hardships, they get a fatty salary(black and white) get lot of fame, and also oppurtunities to get into much bigger projects in future, thus foreseeing a chance to increase both their pay packets and fame/fan base. Now kamal is in a totally different game from all of them. While they have undoubtedly huge respect on him and also keep on sow that respect from time to time, it wud be tough and hitting for all of them if they add another member in the already built list of BO.

Not only the above stuff, these actors, each, have theor own nexus of reporters who handle media, both in print and online portals/social medias. each one of them makes a top 10 lists and of course they only place their films in higher places but if u look at the other places, all the lists keep different films in different places! if u check ALL those top10 lists, you will find the whole scene very funny!

And our man is adifferent creature in handling media too! He doenst do any form of indirect buildup to show him as undisputable king. whatever praises he gets, happens naturally. he never has the habit of 'covering' media! He wants the media to write anything and everything about him naturally itself(!) which is something to never happen. Since he is a very big artist and performer, media don't have any issues in portraying his artistic majesty without his request. But when it comes to money matters, unless for upcoming and fresh films, media has gone into the mode of 'expecting' something to write even for well performing movies! in the expectancy that as the movie is doing well there is nothing wrong in we expecting something to write about the real success the movie ie getting in BO. Added to that, the paid partial bias each media has hidden in it. Seeing all this, i guess we can never expect the TN media to write the exact blockbuster success of Papanasam.

Recently there was an Hindu hyderabad article which compared bahubali BO with Vishwaroopam and thats such a rare feat to see in TN media.

ஹே ராம் வெளி வந்த முதல் வாரத்தில் அந்த படத்திற்கு சன் டிவி காரன் 2வது இடம் கொடுத்தான்(அவர்களது அராஜகம் அப்பொழுது உச்சத்தில் இருந்தது). மற்ற டிவிக்கள் எல்லாம் ஹே ராமுக்கு முதல் இடம் கொடுத்தது.

இதை மனதில் வைத்து தெனாலி படத்தில் சன் டிவிக்கு அப்பொழுது போட்டியாக இருந்த ராஜ் டிவியை படத்தில் வருமாறு காட்சி அமைக்கப்பட்டது. உடனே சன் டிவிகாரன் தனது top 10 நிகழ்ச்சியில் தெனாலி படத்திற்கு இரண்டாம் இடமும்,அப்பொழுது வெளிவந்த அர்ஜூன் படத்திற்க்கு முதல் இடமும் கொடுத்தார்கள். சில வாரங்களிலேயே அர்ஜுன் படம் படுத்து விட்டது. உடனே விஜய் படத்திற்கு முதல் இடமும் தெனாலி படத்திற்கு 2ம் இடமும் கொடுத்தார்கள். கடைசி வரை தெனாலிக்கு முதல் இடம் கொடுக்கவே இல்லை.

ஆனால் தெனாலி படம் bb ஆனது. மதுரையில் அர்ஜுன் படம் 65 நாட்கள் ஒடியது. விஜய் படம் 70+ நாட்கள் ஓடியது. ஆனால் தெனாலி 3 திரை அரங்குகளில் 100 நாட்கள் ஒடியது.

He is a star in the industry for 56 years !! No one has even been a star attraction for more than 50 years anywhere in the world ..

KH will survive come what may ..

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

while dasa was in shoot, there was no kalaigner tv. So Kamal kept a dialog - "ஆ சன் டிவி, புடிச்சிக்கிடுங்க!" but when it released, kalaigner tv has born and dasa was brought by them! but that dialog was not removed. in a way he has praised bun tv even without they not giving much respect. even after that, sun tv didnt give much attention to him

Then the scene started slowly changing. Vijay TV raised top and sun tv kind of sinked except for aluaachi serials. so now recent years they suddenly show ot of respect on him, make kamal mashup etc.. but still, their partiality on kamal did NOTHING to him! not even a bit he was affected! now see, for buying one movie papanasam, they made almost half dozen shows based on it and are both cashing on it and also nw giving the right respect!

but, personally i feel sun group shud feel the bad heat. since PN release got over, i hope its banned for some time to teach a pukka lesson to KD bros

Anban, what Raajjaa wrote, thats known to all of us, i mean, that kamal has successfully surpassed most tough of the toughest barriers and not only that, reached top and stays there!

Survive, Sustain, Succeed, in this survival is the last step. He is in1st step, Succeeding! That and all ok! He faced barriers, he trashed most of them, he now stays much top! agreed. but ppl are worried about the media constantly not giving him his place wrt BO. wrt other things, its undeniable, no media has the guts to put him down even by a bit!

But as a kamal fan iam worried that one side media plays this dirty game, and in spite of he getting new new producers none of them are telling the truth of his success. Aascar was the man! he openly told the figures, praised KH's BO to sky high which is true. Other producers keep mum. For roopam, it was somewhat better. he atleast took effort to announce the numbers indirectly. We hope that continues in his forthcoming films...

Ok, the media intentions are mostly political driven. That looks mostly the case and KH does not fight back or seem to care .. But lets look at it from the producer's viewpoint.

It is entirely up to the producer's discretion to put out figures and are not obligated to do so either for the media or fans. In this case of Papanasam, Sripriya, his yesteryear heroine is one of them. And there were even talks that he was actually going to help her out from her loses in her previous production by taking up this movie. It is not likely that there's malice toward KH by either of them to not put out the numbers. Why should they if they have to part with nearly 30% of their profits ? Would you for the sake of appearing a good producer ?

What Aascar did then was to bolster his image which may not be a priority for Papanasam producers.

KamalHaasan's Box Office Prowess - An Analysis
This analysis of Kamal Haasan’s BO successes over the years is to serve as an eye opener for not only fans of Kamal Haasan but also other actors, people that calls themselves ‘industry trackers’ and analysts.
1971 – 1980
Kamal Haasan first established himself as the major star in the Malayalam Film Industry (MFI) with major hits like Madanatsavam, Eeta and others. Following his successes there, he planted a firm foot in the Tamil Film Industry during this period with monster hits like 16 Vayathiniley, KalyanaRaman and Sigappu Rojakkal were sandwiched by other major hits like Sattam En Kayil, Illamai Oonjalaadugirathu, Guru, Thayilamal Naanillai and Ram Lakshman amongst others.
In the same period, KH established himself as a major star in the Telugu Film Industry (TeFI) with the blockbuster hits like Sommakoduthi Sogakoduthi and Marocharitra. Aside from straight Telugu films, KH carved a huge market for himself with his dubbed Tamil films doing roaring business in AndhraPradesh.
KH was really riding the BO wave in 2 industries at the same time while continuing with his assault on MFI.
Other aspect of his BO successes was the emerging fan following for KH in Karnataka. Industry insiders used to wonder at his BO prowess that was truly spread across the whole of South India and admit that it was bigger than any other star had to that point including the legendary MGR.
His exalted star status during this period can be exemplified by these 2 instances –
1. KH was supposed to act in the remake of Yaadon Ki Baarat as one of the brothers and the initial ad said “Makkal Thilagam MGR and Kathal Ilavarasan Kamalahasan” inianthu nadikkum “Naalai Namathey”. For reasons not required now, it didn’t happen.
2. One more proof of his star status and fan following in the state of TN was the way MGR wooed KH to join the AIADMK. Their association grew from that and KH even had a song featured in late MSV’s Mangala Vaathyam, which referred to MGR and his party’s 2 leaves symbol (Vandina athu vandithaan, vaathyaru vandithan)
1981 – 1988
With South India truly conquered and under his domain, KH set his sights on the North of Vindyas and expanded his empire through the blockbuster Ek Duuje Ke Liye. For the first time ever, Indian cinema truly had an All India SuperStar in Kamal Haasan. As though the producers of Allavudeen and Arpudha Vilakku were prescient, they had advertised 1 year earlier in the popular Trade Guide magazine (featuring real box office numbers) saying “All India Super Star KamalaHasan in AAA”. It came true in 1981.
1982 started with the romantic tearjerker Vaazhvey Maayam. He topped VM in his next movie Moondram Pirai and even though both were super hits at the BO critics were claiming that KH might not command major success at BO. They were truly made to shut up with the astounding blockbuster that was Sakalakala Vallavan. TFI had never seen a movie become such a monstrous hit and that broke all previous records held. There was no questioning KH’s Super Star status anymore. He followed that with one of the classiest movies ever made in India with Sagara Sangamam, which turned out to be a monster hit in AP. More than any other movie, this gave KH the confidence that a classy movie can also set the cash registers ringing in a big way.
Blockbusters and Super Hits flowed like the river Cauvery of a bygone era across all languages in the form of Sanam Teri Kasam, Kakki Sattai, Swathi Muthyam, Saagar and whole host of others.
1989 – 1999
KamalHaasan broke all paradigms of commercial movie making with blockbuster hits like Aboorva Sagotharagal, Devar Magan, Indian, Avvai Shanmughi. Be it the use of available technology, novel way of story telling, retaining nativity KH showed his true mastery over the film medium which nobody before or after could achieve. For the first time, since KH took over the mantles from MGR and Sivaji, a true competitor emerged during this period with Rajinikanth having his first blockbuster hit in 1994 (Baasha).
Given the changing political trends in the state and KH avoiding politics like the plague and turmoil in his personal life sort of took a toll on his movie career in the next phase.
2000 – 2015
KamalHaasan made some memorable movies during this period like Hey Ram, Aalavandaan, Anbe Sivam and the recent Uttama Villain which did not achieve its potential at the BO. But he delivered stunning blockbusters with Tenali, Vettaiyadu Vilaiyadu, Dasavatharam, Vishwaroopam and Papansam.
To put all this into perspective, let us look at his contemporaries from different industries.
Tamil – Rajinikanth was a late bloomer at the BO and owed his success to the media but has been struggling massively to succeed on his own terms since his last genuine hit in 1999 (Padayappa)
Telugu – Chiranjeevi has long been forced into retirement
Malayalam – Mammooty and Mohalal are still around but they are limited in both what they can do on screen and their box office clout
Even though KamalHaasan started on his film career well before the above-mentioned contemporaries, he is still on top of his game calling the shots and making movies on his own terms while delivering hits at the BO.
This is the true story and extent of KamalHaasan’s BO potential that our present day “analysts” refuse to acknowledge while followers of younger stars is unaware.

[avavh3]

i dont think if a producer declares a movie as hit he has to shell 30% IT or if he says it was a flop he is exempted from IT. collections made by a movie from theater are all in records and hence there is no question of escaping IT. his telling or not doesnt make much diff.

IMO it is the duty of an actor to request/command his producers to public the BO status of his movies (whether hit, super hit, BB, ave or flop) for the satisfaction of his fans or he himself can say that. KH has miserably failed in that duty.

20 நாட்களில் 60 கோடியைத் தொட்ட பாபநாசம்.. பாகுபலி அலையையும் மீறி அசத்தல்!


Now, there is totally different scenario.

Thatstamil was never favourable to Kamal Movies. But, they are praising the Papanasam BO. The so called neutral BehindWoods under plays it. Even, Kamal attended their Award function last week. The guy who spoke bad about the movie collection, praised him in the next tweet. He is mesmerised for hand shaking with Kamal. He tweeted about that.

Sun group never encouraged Kamal movies. They are doing good promotion for Papanasam. Now a days, KTV is telecasting lot of Kamal movies. The Sun Music promotes the songs very well.

Neenga Vera..they are trying to play clever...they are trying to portrait that PN never touched 100C nnu
IMHO even the producers will not know the exact figure for any Tamil movie...

Ellam adichi vidaradhu dhan...

[uaacawor]

So in its 3rd week PN collects almost 1 Crore from 10 Screens and not much difference btw others! So if 3rd week itself 1 Crore means i guess total Malaysia BO shall be well around 6 Crores or even more!

No, That's (97 Lakhs) the total collection for 3 weeks.
At the end of week1 it was just 39L, end of week2 it was 82 L.

Everywheer Baahubali has done better than PN in terms of BO.

Bollywoodhungamma is another useless sites for south indian movies..They don't know the exact collection and wont get collection details from all centres..
Don't compare 250 cr baahubali with 5C budget(excluding kamal salary) Papanasam.
Everyone knows Baahubali is doing well but for small budget movie like Papanasam its doing extremely well even after 4th week...
The movie collected 80C so far according to official trade sources..but dhananjayan saying 30C, tamilone india stating it collected 60C till sunday,Indiaglitz & kollywood stating its going to reach 100C..

[Russelljpv]

I booked for coming Sunday for 5th time in Bangalore. It's filling faster than the FDFS.

USV, who is the official trade source?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Iam sure PN is either very close to or crossed 100C.

[Saai]

Papanasam has entered 100 Crore club - Producer officially confirmed :)

[hattori_hanzo]

100 croresa? Appo "30 crores", "above average", "will declare verdict after 4th week", "Hit status likely" nu sila per vada suttaangale, ellaam pocha?
Did you hear this confirmation from producer or did u read it somewhere? Any link to share? If producer says that should be the final word. Producers are Sri Priya and her husband right?

Very very well deserved Victory for Aandavar!

Papanasam listed for the 4th week @nc location through 30th July. Unbelievable considering Bahubali and Maari releases .. Seems like they dont want to replace it.

ஆனால் பாபநாசம் 3 வாரத்தில் 5 லட்சம் டாலர் தான் வசூல் பண்ணுச்சாம்.

திருவான்மியூர் தியாகராஜாவில் பாபநாசமும், மாரியும் ஒரே screen-ல ஒடிட்டு இருக்கு.

ஆனால் பாபநாசம்(6.30pm), மாரியை(3.00pm) விட இன்னைக்கு ஜாஸ்தி book ஆகி இருக்கு.

இந்த paid site காரனுக அடுத்த வாரம் என்ன மாதிரியான Report கொடுக்குறானுகன்னு பார்ப்போம்.

[PG2010]

பாபநாசம் படம் நூறுகோடி வசூலித்து 100கோடி க்ளப்பில் சேர்ந்துவிட்டதென்று அந்தப்படத்தில் முக்கியவேடத்தில் நடித்திருக்கும் ஆனந்த்மகாதேவன் தன்னுடைய முகநூலில் பதிவிட்டிருக்கிறார். பாகுபலி படம் வெளியாகி அதுபற்றியே எல்லாப்பக்கமும் பேச்சாக இருந்தபோதும் சத்தமில்லாமல் பாபநாசம் படமும் ஓடியிருக்கிறதென்றால் ஆச்சரியமான செய்திதான்.

Maari will collect definitely more than Papanasam since Maari is in its 2nd week and PN is in 4th week. Also Maari is running in bigger screens in other complexes.

[Raajjaa]

அப்படி இல்லை. மாரி 300 காட்சிகளில் 1 கோடி வசூல் செய்தது.பாபநாசம் 60 காட்சிகளில் 10 லட்சம் வசூல் செய்தது என்று சொல்வார்கள்.

see the reporting style. wantedly report as a 3rd person. but for other actors movies, vikatan will talk as if its authoritative

[avavh3]

sakala..you have missed out the heading:

பாகுபலியையும் மீறி வசூலில் குறையாமல் இருந்ததா பாபநாசம்?

a question mark :banghead:

[Adox]

I have a feeling the 100c number was breached a week ago already as reported in India Glitz .. the producers couldn't hold on tight anymore and had to let loose :)

[kumarsr]

My next prediction: Papanasam will collect more than all 3 versions of Drishyam (Mal, Kannada, Telugu) put together.

[avavh3]

it would have already

[Amarshiva]

it would have already

correct

[Adox]

My next prediction: Papanasam will collect more than all 3 versions of Drishyam (Mal, Kannada, Telugu) put together.

I'm more curious as to how much the hindi version is going to gross. Their remake looks a little altered from the original. Apparently the producer(s) remain the same. Their trailer remains popular with more the 5M hits .... We'll find soon.

2015 Drishyam Hindi Viacom 18
Rajkumar Theatres Pvt Ltd
Wide Angle (Suresh Balaje & George Pius) Ajay Devgan, Shriya Saran, Tabu Nishikant Kamat Drishyam

[kumarsr]

Malayalam collection alone was close to 80 C. Tamil has not crossed all 3 others put together.
Hindi will cross 100 Cr in 10 days because of the huge base. KH would have been a great fit in Hindi also and grossed as much as AD (nothing against Ajay Devgan)

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Howcome suddenly drishyam mallu made 80C? This and bangalore days was widespreadly announced as 50C grossers...

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Hindi crossing 100Cr i dunno abt ajay devgans market. whats the last 100Cr film or superhit he gave?

[sharav]

Hindi crossing 100Cr i dunno abt ajay devgans market. whats the last 100Cr film or superhit he gave?

Singham 2 ?

[pushpak]

Hindi crossing 100Cr i dunno abt ajay devgans market. whats the last 100Cr film or superhit he gave?

Will be easy. 100C in Hindi is no big deal now a days.
Singham, Son of Sardar etc made 100+ for AD.

[kumarsr]

Howcome suddenly drishyam mallu made 80C? This and bangalore days was widespreadly announced as 50C grossers...

Jeethu says here that it is 60+ ...so may be 65 or 70C.
http://www.bangaloremirror.com/entertainment/south-masala/Is-Drishyam-Malayalam-cinemas-biggest-hit-Jeethu-answers/articleshow/45514783.cms


Is Drishyam, Malayalam cinema's biggest hit? Jeethu answers

At the end, how much did Drishyam rake in? Any trade estimates can you offer?
The film has collected more than Rs 60 crore. Then, there is the other stream of revenues.

Is it the biggest hit in Malayalam? There were some online debates about Bangalore Days breaking many records.
Yes, if one goes by the trade figures. The biggest hit prior to Drishyam was Twenty20 (starring Mohanlal, Mammootty and almost all top stars in Malayalam cinema) which had collected Rs 32 crore. Drishyam has doubled the collections, that way. I can't comment about Bangalore Days and its figures. I really liked the film and I don't attach any importance to debates on box-office figures......

[Adox]

Hindi crossing 100Cr i dunno abt ajay devgans market. whats the last 100Cr film or superhit he gave?

There's no doubt this will cross 100 C. Just by how much is the question.

He has quite a few of them in his kitty latest crossing 100 C was in August 2014 ... (Singham Returns)

Singham Returns Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Rohit Shetty 141.00 C

Son Of Sardaar Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Sanjay Dutt Ashwni Dhir 105.03 C

Golmaal Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, Kunal Khemu Rohit Shetty 107.00C

Singham Ajay Devgn, Kajal Aggarwal, Prakash Raj Rohit Shetty 100.00 C

Bol Bachchan Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin, Prachi Desai Rohit Shetty 102.00 C

[Russelljpv]

Now, as Papanasam crossed 100 crores mark, we can expect backlash from the hype masters. It will affect their business very much, because Papanasam released with out any pre-release hype and no broken records tweet about the first day collection. Now, it seems some guys make living out of this spinning business. All they need is twitter account and page from some web sites. Now, they will find it hard to sell their wares because people will start quoting the Papanasam and will say movies doesn't need these hype, the content is important. (A dialogue in UV). The hype masters had a moto of tell a lie repeatedly and it will become truth, because, no one can prove anything. It sounds like Papanasam Movie Theme.

Is Kamal wanted to prove the dialogue from UV. So, no hype or no buildup before release.

[Karikalen]

Watched it again last night. The second half is simply superb. Next to Sivaji only Kamal seems to bring the best out of co actors. The acting of K Mani, Asha and Anand Mahadevan were simply brilliant.

[venkkiram]

பாபநாசம் திரியின் பக்கங்கள் நூறைத் தொட்டிருக்கும் வேளையில் பட வசூல் நூறு கோடுகளை தொட்டிருக்கிறது என சிலாகித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்.

[venkkiram]

முதல் மரியாதை - மலைச்சாமி
வேதம் புதிது - பாலு
சின்னக்கவுண்டர் - தவசி
எஜமான் - வானவராயன்
ஒன்பது ரூபாய் நோட்டு - மாதவர்
பாபநாசம் - சுயம்புலிங்கம்

பிரதான பாத்திரம், ஆளுமை, படம் முழுதும் வேட்டி/கைலி அணிந்திருத்தல் இந்த மூன்றை காரணியாகக் கொண்டால் மேற்கண்ட படங்களும், பாத்திரங்களும் சட்டென நினைவுக்கு வருகிறார்கள்.
