Family audience normally comes out to watch the movies from 2nd week normally if the word of mouth is good.. From 2nd week most of the weekend shows are full for Papanasam.. Kamal should take leaf out of this success and make more movies without much sex, violence etc...

[Cinemarasigan]

Many of the fan clubs in Chennai want to do the 25th day on Sunday itself... They are not getting bulk tickets in many theaters due to the normal audience booking it in advance :lol:

Hmm ... Some VJ fans believe KH is good only for critically acclaimed movies and finished in Box Office. Not a force to contend with anymore as far as BO goes! Enna sollrathu ..

[rsubras]

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?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

Kamal and Vijay surely have some closeness! Vijay regularly attended kamals birthday partys for past 3 years. He has big respect for kamal and kamal really seem to have given an important place to vijay in his circle! Twitter kh and vj fans kinda bond well too.

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...

Top 5 at Chennai Box-Office - July 24-26 : No.5 NPNO, No.4 Papanasam, No.3 Bajrangi Bhaijaan, No.2 Maari, No.1 Baahubali

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CK2lUSQUsAA0H67.jpg

[dell_gt]

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.

[dell_gt]

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.

Mukhi-Mukhi they're saying its a hit only now where it should have been a SH or a BB. Nelama pa ... It should have been the case if either ROI or collections are considered as a criteria.

Read somewhere that by the time Bahubali moved from break even to profitable status, it was already considered a BB based on just collections alone.

[PARAMASHIVAN]

Sify as been calling the status as "average" till recently ,but now Sify is claiming the film to be a "Hit" ..

[Adox]

That's the case with most of the media. Agree initially not much info. was coming out reg. PN collections for whatever reason ... Now that the producers have finally come out with the numbers and nearly all know that the costs associated with making the movie is under 30c its a no brainer as to what category the movie belongs ...

விஜய்க்கு முருகதாசோட படங்களில் நடித்தால் தான் படம் ஓடுகிறது. இல்லாட்டி படம் படுத்துகிறது. விஜய்யை முதல்ல ஒரு HIT படம் கொடுக்க சொல்லுங்கப்பா(அப்புறம் superhit,BB-ஐ பத்தி யோசிக்கலாம்).
இதுல king of kollywood-ம். காமெடி பசங்கப்பா நீங்க.

[VinodKumar's]

Media may write paid collections but producers go by current market of an actor. When producers are ready to invest big money on Rajini, Shanakar, Rajamouli why are they not ready to invest on the most experienced money spinning Kamalhassan. Konjam sindhihchu paakanum. Summa veetukulla utkaandhukitu naa pudicha muyaluku 30 kaalunu unga actor ah pathi pesalam mathavangala pathi pesa koodadhu. Adhuku peru vayitherichal. Sattila irukaradhu thaan agapaila varum. Reality is Kamal movies doesnt have the buzz among youths like it used to have. That's the reason why when the movie is not good it struggles a lot. Uthama Villan was a classic example.

Avasarathula katthi padam hit-nu othikitinga :lol2:.

Vijay movies get sold even before the shooting ends. Anga yedhum solla venmanu nenaikiraen.

Main thing is the sheep which never credits director and any of cast and crew of his hero movies credits director for the success of other hero movie. Thakkali chutney ratham kadhai thaan.

இதுல உத்தம வில்லன் ஒடலையாம். அந்த மாதிரி படங்களில் நடிக்க முதலில் விஜய்க்கு தைரியம் இருக்கிறதா?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

but producers go by current market of an actor. When producers are ready to invest big money on Rajini, Shanakar, Rajamouli why are they not ready to invest on the most experienced money spinning Kamalhassan.

Rajamouli got funded by AP in house company and they will NOT fund such money on ANY non AP actors. For Rajini, ask him to get fund for a non shankar movie, even 100 Crores is doubtful. Even for Robo-2, Lyca is ready to put money but they want best in india for each and every thing. they rejected Vikram as a villain sayin they want an all india popular face as villain. just saying.

And Kamal, he too was approached by Lyca and due to some differences it didnt materialise. But its a fact that he was approached by Lyca. If he agrees just to stay as an actor and agree to put a director as big as shankar, for outside view(inside he can still be allowed to do his own story screenplay dialogs) then he too will get 200+ crores funding. thats not at all an impossible thing for kamal when producers are ready. Kamal always puts lot of different terms and Aascar was the one who agreed to kamal's terms but now he is in problem.

an Age old AVM or very big Sun Pictures agreeing to make Tamil's then high budget Sivaji and Enthiran is not a big feat. They funded seeing Rajni and Shankars market together. But Aascar funded just on Kamal!

I agree Raajjaa goes a bit overboard on Vijay but you can counter him but not kamal. Even if u do, i hope u adher to the facts about kamal's market!

( Btw, in Inox Arcot Road, 2nd monday, for Papanasam, i heard huge whistles and clap for Puli, whistels started when they put the trailer's censor certificate itself!! )

SKV, I felt the same. 100C was probably breached 1 week to 10 days before the announcement. It remains to be seen how far it can go. At this point we should let the final numbers speak for itself if anybody has doubts on Nammavar's box office prowess.

Papanasam is in its 4th week at my location (nc) .. which is quite rare. Only the real biggies of Rajini/Kamal go that long. I'm planning to catch it one more time tomorrow before they take it off.

[Adox]

While I really didnt want to compare box offices of KH and Vijay, I was trying to let know that KH can do wonders in BO if needed. PN is a case in point .. There's an underlying annoying thought among many that KH sucks in Box office and no longer relevant.

Other than the SS, none well now 'I' (Shankar) have been able to match Dasavatharam or VR numbers.

The numbers are right in front of us if somebody wants to dig in.

Instead of SS, we can say Rajini+Shanker becos rajnis other films didnt cross the BO of Dasa and VR! Infact Dasa broke Rajni+Shankar's Sivaaji! ;)

Vidunga sagala..this is the transition stage and every actor faces this..when the young actors are emerging as big star many of their fans wont respect the senior actors..the fact is even at the age of 60 Kamalhaasan is delivering blockbuster like Papanasam..before Vishwaroopam,10A..more to follow..same with RK
Not all can achieve this feet..after 50-55 many will fade out because the dance moves ,few other X factor wont help them..Thats the reason only few survive..

Age between 30-45 is the peak season for actors where they can provide monster hits because they will be loved by all sections of audience..

Kamal monster hits and evergreen classics during this period age 30-45

Indrudu Chandrudu(telugu blockbuster,in tamil superhit as dubbed indiran chandiran),Michael Madana Kama Rajan,Thevar Magan,
Sathi Leelavathi (in hindi as Biwi no1 screenplay writer),Subha Sankalpam(telugu blockbuster)
Kuruthipunal, Indian(in Hindi as Hindustani ,All India blockbuster), Avvai Shanmugi( in hindi as chichi 420,All India Blockbuster),Thenali

Classics but not Blockbuster:

Guna,Mahanadhi,Heyram,Unnal Mudiyum Thambi,Sathya..

See the variety above..its not just blockbusters but many were classics as well..

Tell me one young generation actor who achieved 2/5th of it so far in the same period either as blockbuster or classics..
After 50 he gave blockbuster like VV,10A,VR and now PN..superhits like VRMBBS,Panchathanthiram..classics like Anbe sivam,UV

This generation youngsters must adher to facts,if you don't know check the facts before commenting about great living legend in TFI

[Girish11]

The troubling part is all of Lingusamy's financial problem are attributed to UV. The people conveniently forgot it's because of Lingu's financial fiasco, the UV suffered in the Box Office as it's lost two days of opening.

Yes, hope KH does not do the compensation project under Lingu's direction, if so atleast KH should retouch the script etc, dont want to see KH in a Anjaan type of lousy movie.

Very true, today everything including World politics to the tiniest issue is media manipulated, people who have learnt how to manipulate the media are getting underserved success, to shine through without the help of such media by itself is a great acheivement and not easy in todays world.

Muthalvan, no issues! "kamal fans will be laughing at Raajja's post" triggered some ppl like me. thatsall. maybe if u clarified that its only about his vijay's post and not about kamal, none of us wud have reacted! anyways leave it. there is no question of kamal's BO getting low et all. He will take Viswaroopam when and where needed. He has multiple targets in all films. He cannot have 'transformation scene' like pucca mass scenes forced into all of his films... at times he want to give everlasting classics like uttamavillain too. He knows that UV didnt have any villain, regular fights masala etc. His game plans are always different!

that apart, iam happy that vijay made himself a force in Kerala BO without anyone's support. now likewise, he is ventruring to AP too! http://www.newfilmalaya.com/jilla-success-meet-in-andra/10762/ good for him!

Bill... Leave it bro. PN is a huge hit and a lot of Vijay fans like me are genuinely happy for Kamal sir. Vijay and he share a very cordial relationship off screen, and have respect for each other. We should probably carry the same camaraderie as much as possible amongst their fans too ;-). Let's just celebrate this success of Kamal and PN rather than getting involved in mudslinging on both sides. I don't think it is even worth discussing who started it and why and what...let's just end it here.

Request Vijay fans also not to get provoked by one individual and spoil the party here.

Wishing Kamal all the success and much bigger blockbusters in future.

Cheers!

True. Sakala tried his best to nip it at the bud and I pulled Raajja to Vijay thread but still somehow things have gone ugly here.

Like DAMMY said, better not dig the last pages to find who started it and who is the culprit. Let's leave it here.

Congratulations for the success of Papanasam and wishing a grand success for Thoongavanam.

[irir123]

Even for someone who might be neutral and agnostic abt Kamal or anyone else's films, its puzzling that for certain films, even after a few days run/non-run, the BO verdict becomes mega hit, ultra hit etc etc…

And PN moves into the 5th week and the verdict is a hit or a super hit - that too with a groan / mukkal / munagal??

Just don't get it …..

[vithagan]

PN didn't had a wide release..(lack of promottion or UV effect or whatever..) No of screens/shows during the first weekend is less compared to other "anyone else" films.. first weekend importance pathi ungalukku solla thevai illa.. 2 days delay'la padam flop aagura situtationla the achievement made by PN is huge.. ( 4 weeks complete run in NC, USA which I have not seen in recent past for tamil movies).. hence its a sleeper HIT/Super HIT.

Vithagan,

TN Release was some 400 or 450 + theaters which is not less by any standard. UV released in some 500 i think. Also for chennai, the no of shows per week posted in behindwoods BO report was equal to the other big films. infact i say this since some fans posted other movies and PN reports in same post, for comparison. In overseas, except US which had a bit less no of screens, it was released in numbers which are as same as most of the past films. i dont know how do u say it opened in less no of theaters

Movie crossed 100C much b4 and totally it may end up like some 120 or 130C. I dunno why u say it is not a BB

Partially disagree on why you dont see it a blockbuster.

We'll have to first start from what it is for a blockbuster to happen. Is it just the collections ? If so how much ? 100C or 150C or 200C or more ? As I mentioned in one of my posts, by the time bahubali got to break even status, it was already declared a BB. So was 'I'. Makes you wonder if its just collections even if the movie might still make a loss/breakeven.

Is it ROI then ? I've seen BW elevating small budget films or last year to BB status. I forget the name but there're was one on sheer ROI. Costs were about 6C and total earnings were about 20C.

Coming to PN .. Its well known that the movie has now crossed 100C. Probably around 125C till date. We also know that it didnt take much to make that movie. I read early on that it cost about 20C. Even adding Kamal's salary to it, we can see that the ROI factor is magnitudes high!

PN satisfies both of these be it collection or ROI factor. So with all these, isn't it sort of a given what PN should be ?

I agree its not just based on collections, but for Baahubali and I with the wide release and houseful shows they might have projected, hence got that status early.

Haters get this Straight!

Papanasam is a Blockbuster,
Gross Collection wise! (Silently crossed 100Crores and still running!)
Profit wise (Low budget, less investment and Profits by Huge Margins!)
Content wise! (Inspite of being a Remake, the whole movie performance, story, dialogs everything clicked with audience)
Critics wise! (Almost no negative reviews for a movie, Not even just one!!)
Competition wise! (Even bigger movies like Bahubali and new films like Maari cudnt touch this film! in reality maari gettng replaced by this!)
Family Audience Wise! (After a very long time, a complete Family Entertainer of All Sorts!)
Location wise! (Both City and B&C are still holding the movie, along with few other state and overseas too!)

இன்னும் எத்தனை wise வேணாலும் போட்டுக்கலாம்! ஏன்னா Papanasam is a very Wise Movie!!

Enna saar solreenga .. The producers shared that information a little later than when they should have! After which there was a series of acknowledgements from artists who were a part of the movie cast like Gibran, Ananth Mahadevan etc. Do you think they were all lying ? You can suspect anything if you want and ask questions. In case of PN is loud and clear that its earnings must have far exceeded initial low costs (which was again in the media) whether its in excess of 100C or not (it is!)to make it an awesome candidate for a Blockbuster.

Behind woods is wrong in their calculations. During 3rd week end they have posted PN collected 23lakhs but when checked the theater list,number of shows, seats and calculated it collected 55 lakhs during week-end..
From my calculation the movie collected 23 lakh during 3rd weekend from 4 theaters sathyam,escape,devi,sangam cinemas itself..Sandiyar karan a famous kamal fan has all the proof & listed the collection details in Chennai..
May be because of 30% tax issue the collections are underreported..According to me behind woods is not consistent in their reviews as well as collection report..

Most times i will stick to what is posted only. but there are times i want to talk other topics too. Behindwoods was started by a group of hardcore rajnifans. Among one is a person called Sundar, who was in touch with another HC rajni fan Nerd who was a member here. Then same Nerd confirmed he left BW. today some new set of ppl are running it but still there is a strong bias over rajini films and other films BO. And not only that, in this very forum, the discrepancies in behindwoods were being posted as long as 2005, since Chandramuki VV Sivaji Dasa enthiran etc. Countless no of times, kamalfans hae posted various ways of misreporting of BO numbers from behindwoods and Sify in this very forum. If you have followed all those thread, you wud have known about that.

So, only longtimers can identify what agenda each tamilcinema portal has! So, its not as u simply put that they reduce 50% of any KamalFilms' BO number but instead, they try to misreport in numerous ways. You can refer USV's last post for this. Its not like easy binary yes or no stuff which you are trying to portray.

[Chikatiloan]

Thanks for the detailed Insight.. BW sari.. Sify.. moviecrow.. ingayum other actor fans influence irukoe??

Sify is there for very long time way before behindwoods started..Movie crow,cinemalead opened few years ago..cinemalead has few HC Kamal supporters..
Coming to sify sreedhar pillai tweeted positive today after july 3rd..he used to mention about collection reports for all the movies but so far nothing about Papanasam..
According to him Maari collected 6.75 C from 275 screens during 1st day which is highest for dhanush movie ..(approx)
Remember Maari released when papanasam and baahubali were going strong..
So adhuvae 6.75C collect pannum podhu, Papanasam solo release in 450 theaters without any competition would have collected atleast 9C during 1st day..2nd and 3rd day were strong bcoz of good reviews and WOM which can be seen clearly when trichy Cinemas tweeted there are more than 100+ cars in LA cinemas,Vijay cinemas ..also in Chennai heavy crowd/traffic in front of udhayam,vetri theaters..these were just examples..
So in 3 days Papanasam would have collected 30 C in TN alone..Within 1st week before baahubali release easily 50C in TN alone and 60C worldwide(ROI -3.5C,malaysia-2.5C,rest-4C)
So logically 100C is easy when the movie is running houseful even after 4 weeks..

OK sir.. idhukku mela naan argue panna virumbala.. let PN be blockbuster..:bow:

[shwas]

Sify is there for very long time way before behindwoods started..Movie crow,cinemalead opened few years ago..cinemalead has few HC Kamal supporters..
Coming to sify sreedhar pillai tweeted positive today after july 3rd..he used to mention about collection reports for all the movies but so far nothing about Papanasam..
According to him Maari collected 6.75 C from 275 screens during 1st day which is highest for dhanush movie ..(approx)
Remember Maari released when papanasam and baahubali were going strong..
So adhuvae 6.75C collect pannum podhu, Papanasam solo release in 450 theaters without any competition would have collected atleast 9C during 1st day..2nd and 3rd day were strong bcoz of good reviews and WOM which can be seen clearly when trichy Cinemas tweeted there are more than 100+ cars in LA cinemas,Vijay cinemas ..also in Chennai heavy crowd/traffic in front of udhayam,vetri theaters..these were just examples..
So in 3 days Papanasam would have collected 30 C in TN alone..Within 1st week before baahubali release easily 50C in TN alone and 60C worldwide(ROI -3.5C,malaysia-2.5C,rest-4C)
So logically 100C is easy when the movie is running houseful even after 4 weeks..

Logic tamil cinemalayo box office reports layo ethirparkalama?

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

And going by facts, TN alone 92 centers for 25th day! And even if it reduces to half for 5th week thats still a great feat! From 3rd week i guess everything shud be treated as bonus/profit only!

[hattori_hanzo]

Bill... Leave it bro. PN is a huge hit and a lot of Vijay fans like me are genuinely happy for Kamal sir. Vijay and he share a very cordial relationship off screen, and have respect for each other. We should probably carry the same camaraderie as much as possible amongst their fans too ;-). Let's just celebrate this success of Kamal and PN rather than getting involved in mudslinging on both sides. I don't think it is even worth discussing who started it and why and what...let's just end it here.

Request Vijay fans also not to get provoked by one individual and spoil the party here.

Wishing Kamal all the success and much bigger blockbusters in future.

Cheers!

Super Sensible post.

Feeling happy for Papanasams very good run after crossing 30 days. And Jilla's success in Telugu, more than a year after the origina was released, is a pleasant and unexpected surprise..though I did not like Jilla(but loved Kaththi and Thuppaki)

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.

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.

[nickraman]

How is Hindi Drishyam?

It seems that it has lot of negative reviews.

Hindi version is 2hrs 40min roughly. First half is compressed to a bit. Couple of important plot points (Swami visit mostly) is confined to the scene where Ajay is digging up the compost (in Papanasam/Malalayam Drishyam, KH/ML will rant with their spouse on their street smartness and their ode to farming.) The 4th fail comment is a recurring insult in this version, but the second is more or less retained from malayalam with an additional scene where Ajay goes to ATM machine to withdraw money (during interrogation.) Instead of August, the incident centers around Gandhi Jayanthi time (Oct 2-3) instead of August 2-3 like in other versions. Also, the slapping scenes are reduced here mostly and not as dramatic. Tabu is given a semi-mass introduction scene for her police role (she enters during lathi beating in cell 2 prisoners.) Overall, this version follows Malayalam version closely.

Ajay pretty much mimics Mohanlal's character (street smart and non-sympathetic in climax.) Shriya is miscast big time (nadippu suthamma varala). Only Tabu stands tall amongst the rest.

wanted to watch this, as I did not get a chance to watch the Tamil version, but except Tabu, not much good reviews about the movie, Shreya is way too young to do a mummy role of teenage kids, besides I am not sure about her acting skills .. for some reason, Indian cinema show times have been considerably reduced in UK :( , Drishyam shows are very limited here ..

+1 Vinod.

All other language remakes of Dhrishyam, Directors felt that reducing the duration of the movie will make the film racier and it will become better than original.

But Kamal suggested additional scenes are required, that too for 16 more minutes and asked . Also suggested that making it emotional will be better. Producers and director of Papanasam were afraid of increasing the duration. But Kamal was clear and confident about the changes in screenplay and outcome. And it worked very well.

[NOV]

Ever had piping hot, homemade idli-sambar, the latter flavoured with aromatic spices made on a heavy grinding stone, and served on a banana leaf? Are you one of those who, inspired by that meal, tried your hand at making a simple dosa at home? If you’re persistent, you may eventually get a nice, round, crisp dosa. Your sambar may also be a satisfactory. But will it be like that honest-to-Amma meal? Not really.

That mixed feeling you get when you make an acceptable dosa and remember a fluffy, perfect idli is exactly what you’re left with after watching Nishikant Kamat’s Drishyam. Drishyam is the Hindi remake of a Malayalam blockbuster by the same name, masterminded by writer and director, Jeethu Joseph. That film was recently made in Tamil, as the gripping Papanasam.

------

The net effect is that with every scene of the Hindi Drishyam, you find yourself longing for the Malayalam and Tamil versions.

Still, all said and done, Kamath’s Drisyham proves a carbon copy is just that: a decent copy.

Also suggested that making it emotional will be better.

That's the backbone of the movie. Audience should get a feel that the family should not be punished. Audience should be moved along with the family ...they should see every challenge put by police officers as the challenges put in front of them ... above all when the younger daughter says the truth andha ponnu mela kovam varama andha family mela paavam varanum ... adhu konjam miss aagirundhalum climax twist would have been cinematic !!!

Similarly police officer family emotions were also captured well. Idhula yedhu koranjirundhalum kastam.

Definitely Papanasam is a very good example for successful remake movie.

India's 'Drishyam' Rallies to Superb Day 3 And Excellent Overall Weekend

Director Nishikant Kamat’s Drishyam may have been slow out of the gate as it started its debut weekend last Friday, but it’s the finish that counts, and thanks to a stellar Sunday boosted by strong word of mouth, the film finished in style with a 300 million rupee (US$4.68 million) box office total.
..................
..................
When the film opened to just 60 million rupees ($936,000) on Friday (plus 20 million rupees in paid previews from Thursday) it appeared that the producers’ reported 650 million rupee ($10.1 million) investment in production and marketing of the film would go largely unrecouped. But excellent word of mouth propelled a 57 percent revenue jump on Saturday to 94 million rupees, and Sunday saw another 34 percent increase to 126 million. If it can hold up during the weekdays it now has a reasonable chance of reaching the magic 1 billion rupee ($15.7 million) domestic box office mark before the end of its run.

ஐம்பது நாட்கள் இத்தனை அரங்குகளில் பெரும்பாலும் நிறைந்த காட்சிகளாக ஒரு தமிழ் சினிமா ஓடி நெடுநாட்களாகின்றன. இது ஒரு வெற்றிப்படம் என்ற எண்ணம் முன்னரே இருந்தது. இத்தனைபெரிய வெற்றி என்பது அனைவருக்குமே ஓர் இன்ப அதிர்ச்சிதான்.

All the recent generous reviews for this movie we are getting in the hub, is a result after watching this movie in thiruttu dvd. So the reviews are of no use because the movie makers did not benefit even a bit by these so called neutral reviewers.

:lol: burma bazar language Mamu you are promoting piracy by watching movie in your home period. Sakala bro (namma velu bro madhiri) is a nice dude adding another zero is no big deal there to highlight BO performance matter.

Point is we shouldn't watch a well received movie like this at home, lets go to NC to enjoy this classic flick in its fullest form.

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

tentkotta, herotalkies all are paid sites only. but once they release a legal copy, the next moment, torrent appears with the content ripped from them.

Sakala sir, people are ripping at 720p on the first day from India and Middle east using hi tech cameras , what are you talking about waiting for legal copy to rip HD prints?. The only way to cut this is to make it cheaper and work on more DTH release options.

I will have to agree with you on this - very true!

IPR/Copyrights are virtually non-existent in many parts of Asia (Japan is an exception) - and if anyone makes the cardinal sin of accessing those websites streaming ripped videos of newly released films, malware/virus invasion on your system is guaranteed!

The Chinese in particular are super-duper experts when it comes to violating such contractual obligations - communism aachey!
the far south east (malaysia) and the middle-east come next - Others People's Money (OPM)!

[sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar]

i dunno who brought tent kotta and herotalkies but all i wanted to say is, ppl rip from the very paid-sites only to get good copy! sometimes, even these paid sites release movies ahead of offcial dvd release!

Most of the guys who claim they watched in tent kotta and hero talkies, actually watched on thiruttu dvd from torrents. But unless we prove it we need to agree with whatever they have to say. Let us give the benefit of doubt to them assuming they are true to their manasaatchi.

I agree other than 15 minutes I don't see anything in this movie. It should have trimmed down to 15 minutes and in that way they could have avoided Gauthami completely. Because in 15 minutes movie Gauthami did not have role to play any way. Ore kallula rendu maanga.

Yes it does not qualify for block buster. To qualify blockbuster status either distributor or theatre owners need to report loss and go on hunger strike. It does not have any quality and it should be disaster at box office.

THE GENUINE SUCCESS STORY OF KAMAL'S PAPANASAM

Today, 21st August, Kamal Haasan - Jeethu Joseph's Papanasam enters the 50th day of its theatrical run. This film is one of the genuine successes this year, and has held on this long despite the hurricane-like run of Baahubali which released just a week after. Strong word of mouth and patronage from family audiences are main factors in the Papanasam success story.

Here we chat with George Pius of Wide Angle Creations, one of the producers of the film,

"We are naturally happy with the success of the film. We knew that this content would work and we were confident right from Day 1. The film is a profitable venture for all parties concerned."

On whether Papanasam would have done even better, if not for Baahubali.

"We knew that Baahubali would be coming a week after us, but were sure that our film had its own strengths and merits. Baahubali was of a different genre, and may be yes, Papanasam would have done even better if Baahubali hadn't released immediately after. But on the whole we at Wide Angle Creations are very happy with the success of the film, which has held on so long."

Funny...All online movie commentators mention the word "genuine" when they describe the success of Papanasam. Tells a lot about how genuine other movie hits are....

[Adox]

what is the point in running for 50 days? did it break even?

Why talk about break even status now ? It broke even in less than a week like 3-4 days. The article is about the producer's perspective on how the movie did. By mentioning 'profitable' its quite obvious its well way past the break even status.

[cinema]

I think the main reason for loss of the movie is, it was sold at ridiculously high price, by misleading the producers saying that this movie is 10 times bigger than dasavatharam and vishwaroopam. If they had not exaggerated the movie, this movie would have broke even for distributors. Very sad situation indeed.

Bill4, even that couldn't be termed as sarcasm, as they were underplaying the #s. Because, when they tell the real truth about the success, there onethousand loads of questions that is why they have responded in that way. Since I am following their comments I couldn't control and posted like that. So just let it go.. We are celebrating the success and you are well wisher of us.. Just another day..

what is the official BO status?

[paranitharan]

I was sober when I watched it but why didn't the police enquire the little girl little more about what happened when she agreed to show them where the body was buried? I was intrigued till the end but that part and the ending ruined it for me even though that was the ending I was hoping for.

The little girl did not see the murder, she watched only when her Mom and sister burying something bundled in a sack...

[Adox]

The little girl did not see the murder, she watched only when her Mom and sister burying something bundled in a sack...

Yes, thats right .. its a reasonably tight script. All she knew peering through the window was her mom/sis burying something in a sack. Moreover by that time media found its way there. Once they found the contents after retrieving, hell broke loose for the illegal interrogation of his family including the little kid resulting in suspensions.

[paranitharan]

The little girl did not see the murder, she watched only when her Mom and sister burying something bundled in a sack...

so why would she bring them over to their house when the police officer ask her if she knows the whereabouts of the guy. If she thought that something else was buried there then why should she bring them to her house?

[ajaybaskar]

The kid didn't know what was buried by her mom and sister. She saw them burying a sack. But later, her father Suyambulingam would've umpteen times explained her about the murder and how to hide it from the police. So she would've known the complete scheme of things at the time of interrogation and would've directed the police to their yard as per her dad's plan.

More advanced thinking :)

[Adox]

I'm more inline with shwas thinking .. why would any parent disclose to their little child about disturbing events that could spoil the child's emotions for ever ? Would you do that ?

So going by the same, the little kid only knows about what she saw and what Kamal teaches them to handle the cops/interrogation that does not include the real murder. In anticipation that the kid or even others in his family might spill the beans about the burying, he moved it to be on the safe side and never disclosed it to anybody even after everything was over.

Do you watch a lot of Tamil films?

I do. I just watched Papanasam and I loved it… it was a very good movie. All the other films I watched recently were English, like Interstellar, The Imitation Game… I watched The Imitation Game because of the chess connection. One of the people in the film, CHOD Alexander, played chess. In fact, I have a book of his about world chess champions.

Do you have a favourite actor?

Mmmm… Kamal. I’ve sort of grown up watching his films.
