Chandramukhi Audio is released today!

[Raghu]

now he is acting again and before hte movie is released he went to all the temples. poor guy. he didnt believe in story, he didnt believe in himself. he went all the way and begged all gods for the success.



Kbee, very absurd statement, to believe in one self, one must believe something far suprior than him, that is called Maha Iswar(paramathma) we (atmas) are like puppets, we are all controlled by Paramathama.

There is no point me sitting here and thinking I am great,I am so handsome, I am so itelligent,...etc, this is false ego, Maya. The real truth is Paramatha,.. sorry I don't want to preach here, but don't insult Paramatha by sweeping statements like this :shock:

By the way, i like your Aei bit, add 'Adhu' to your list as well :lol:

I have to agree Super* failed with his experiment in Baba and Sri Raghavendra, but kamal ji failed with many experiment like abbey, heyram, anbe sivam,....etc.

so to survive in the indsutry you need to be mass commercial hero, which is exactly what Super* is, his charisma at 55+ is still Unmatched.

Personaly I liked Baba in terms of the story, and super* image, but the message was not conveyed properly , silly politics, stupid graphics and poor screen play let the failure.

so it is natural for any actor to give hits and failure, that is destiny.

Super* is destined to be what his now, no body can do anything about this
Kamlaji is same also
Super* can not be Kamal nor Kamal can be Super*, cos their destiny are different due to their poorva genma karma

I am acting in my very first film called 'Santharpam', details are available on request :wink: , that does not mean I will be big actor in 5 years or not, no one knows what destiny holds for us

[MumbaiRamki]

Saw CM this week end ...

To cut it short ,CM i sthe best ever Rajni i have seen after 1991 -I will whole heartedly appreciate the risk Rajni has taken .Kudos !!

At the same time ,with no offense to Rajni fans ,this movie belongs to Fazil ,the original script writer ,then to Rajni and Jothika followed by Vadivel and vidyasagar..

S* has done his role very well ...-Thankfully there were no heroisms in this movie ...

I will give a double tHumbs Up for this movie !

some truth is out here i guess.

Rajni fanatics need not worry cuz ME and Sachin are disasters.

[kbee]

Jacky

1. Dont read rediff review. If you give ad, they will praise, otherwise they wont?
2. MX is a commercial success and doing good in A and B centers, while Sachin is a success in B and C center.
3. How does ME and Sachin not doing well will help CM? Do you mean to say that for Rajini movie to be success every other movie has to be a flop?

[Jacky]

kbee,
"How does ME and Sachin not doing well will help CM?"
Normally it happens with other films but Rajni was an exception.
The link is dead already, some swift damage control from Rajni camp, Rediff has removed the contents now however the link still stays on Google News.

[Movies]

O KBHEE

you would be kamals most agressive promoter!

Sachin is an average hit at all centres! Vijay is no joke anymore dude! he has a huge fan following! Even shankar backed out of competing with rajni, vijay didnt , just shows how much vijay knows what his strenght is!

Sachin has its appeal... I watched it yesterday ... not bad... movie moves along very smoothly! Fun at a lot of places!

and KBHEE .... i agree with MX and sachin not doing well does not help CM...... but rather....... i think its CMs presence that has reduced sachins collection! Ofcourse kamals comedy are rarely appreciated by the B and C centres!

[Raghu]

and look what happened to sachin, he was insane to compete with a legend, Only Kamalji can give some resistance to Super*.

I do agree VJ has huge fan, but what is the ratio VJ fans to Rajni fans?
like an ant to an elephant :D



and KBHEE .... i agree with MX and sachin not doing well does not help CM...... but rather....... i think its CMs presence that has reduced sachins collection! Ofcourse kamals comedy are rarely appreciated by the B and C centres!

Agreed, this is all money making business, one must think wisely before venturing into compete with super*

[Jacky]

Raghu,
I think VJ loses only in the "curiosity factor", S* takes 2-3 years for a release and by this time VJ acts in 10 films. So there can never be a fair comparison.

[Movies]

Jacky thats a fair point!

Raghu ur 100% vijay and Rajni dont compare, but sadly when it comes to Kamal vs Vijay in terms of recent success, and fans..... i have a feeling Vijay beats Kamal all the way!

I think im starting an epic battle here > VJ vs Kamal!

[kbee]

no you are not at all starting an epic battle. after watching thiruppachi, i banned vijay'v movie in my house, including myself.

Also I wish I am a kamal promotor, because starting from Virumandi I have been telling Raaj Kamal to give the movie to the right people, but Kamal end up makign the same mistake. the huge success of CM in USA is also attributed to the ads that you saw in every single site you go to. The highest searched keyword for tamil is "tamil sex" and you guess what, it will show chandramukhi show timings. Yes, thats how people advertised the movie. With virumandi, Vasool and MX it went to wrong ppl. No ofense to people who LOST money in all the 3 movies in USA (mr. Chokku), but they didnt do any justification either to Kamal or to themselves.

[vibinrajmani]

i hardly notice anyone mention vikram
he can do both "mass" roles and "experimental" roles
only drawback is that he is in his 40s

i am sure that he can open movies to full capacity audiences like his dhool and saamy. vikram carries that certain kind of persona and even "grace"

honestly i don't find anything special abt vijay or ajith. i have no idea how vijay gained this much fans

[Arjuna]

East or West Vikram is the best!! Followed by our thalai Ajith!! Ajith is superb for the angry man roles!! He always looks angry :)

[Movies]

Kbhee..... what r u talking!


Rajni needs no publicity! The word Rajni itslef wud sail across seas and create hype and hoopla!

Sadly that isnt the case with kamal! And eat ur words ! Kamal created his own cheap publicity by beggin up a fight with dr krishnasamy about virumandi! Virumandi earned some money only because it had that publicity, other wise it would have been a bigger loss than it ended up being! Kamal is a smart guy he knows how to advertise! Sadly though he doesnt know whow to keep audience glued to the screen!
Only f kamal stops directing and ghost directing he will be able to make a hit!

Rajni made a istake writting the screen play in baba, he realised his mistake, and now see ChandraMukhi is at top!

In short No publicity is needed for a rajni film and no publicity cud make a kamal film succesfull!

Baba was a flop agreed , but only for Rajnis standards! The movie still made money ! Infact was a top grosser of the year! This is precisely Super Star!


Vibin >

I think Vikram is talented but i think this is only the first phase of his career, he has time.... I think Anniyan is the litmus test! Vijay has the " Ithu namma allu look, and he isnt a bad actor either, hehast done any offbeat roles thats all.

Ajith is pathetic! He cant even deliver his dialogues with force...

[Jacky]

"i am sure that he can open movies to full capacity audiences like his dhool and saamy."

Vj is successfully selling crap at regular intervals while for Vikram he was in crap mode with Arul and that bombed!
As an actor Vj isn't worth a penny.

Movies,
Vj is able to dish out better Masala movies and when Kamal does it (rarely) - he makes Money.
Vasool Raja was a hit while Madurai couldn't hold on.
ppl accept Vj's crap(thirupachi and co) but there's no space for Kamal's crap like aalavandhan.
:lol:

[vibinrajmani]

On a couple of occasions when ajith is required to recite his dialogue forcefully, he failed miserably.

"naan hero illa, villain" ajith shrieked like a woman who was about to give birth

i am not sure how it goes but in "red" there will be a dilogue like this
"red ellarukkum oru theerupu solluvan, mazhai nikkarathukkule"

correct me if i am wrong

i hope he recites his dialogues in a manly fashion in "godfather"

[kbee]

Kbhee..... what r u talking!

Rajni needs no publicity! The word Rajni itslef wud sail across seas and create hype and hoopla!


There are two things. One thing is to just blabber, the other thing is to know the statistics. I am giving the NJ CM statistics

1. Theatre they selected to release CM is too far from where Indian community live. Normally people dont go this theatre.
2. CM is released in many neighbouring states, unlike Baba where it was released in NJ only.
3. The population of Tamil community is lot less (atleast 30% less) than it was in 2002.

Inspite of that, the turnout for CM is more than double compared to Baba. Not because Baba is flop, but because

1. The ad was started 2 weeks ahead compared to Baba which started only 1 week ahead
2. Tickets were sold online, thus making sure that you get the ticket before you go to theatre - where as for Baba it was sold in 2 or 3 retail video stores only
3. There was no ONLINE ad for Baba but in case of CM everything is online.
4. People from NY also came to NJ,while there was a show running in NY itself, mainly because the Ad for NJ is probably the best I have seen for indian movies.

About Virumandi, we sold ticket online and the theare had a capacity of 1300 and it was packed for Friday night, saturday after noon and evening (close to 3500 tickets in 2 days). The opening for CM is same. Probably would have been better, but the theatre size was limited to less than 600.

Among others, Vikram is giving versatile roles and so does Surya. Rest of them are "AAI". They wanted to be Rajini, but they dont know that there is ONLY ONE RAJINI.

[Movies]

VJ knows his target audience and he caters to them!


Kamal thinks he knows everything! He just shows off most of the time like a pathless teenager! I mean take for instance
alavandhan.. u have psychiatric Kamal , whos been i a assylum for 20 + years.... and guess what he speaks perfectly american flavoured accent english! Now isnt this Show off time!

Ironically, first time i hear VJ speak english in Sachin, atleast he stuck to his native accent!

[Jacky]

Kamal might show off but he has the guts to face failures. Something that cannot be said about Rajni who believes in getting a webpage offline.

[Arjuna]

vj is just a bull-shit!! He is another pandiarajan in the making - with his eye balls popping out all the time!! U cant even compare VJ to Kamal!!

[Arjuna]

the only problem with kamal is - as balachander rightly put during the virumandi audio cassette release - kamal tries to put everything he knows into one film - which is backfiring him!!

[Movies]

Kamal is playing with money! thats a gamble anyone can afford to loose! and most of the time it isnt his money!

But in Rajnis case He has a HUGE reputation on-line! Now thats something no one cud dare gamble with!

Kamal has no other go , he cud only survie by being different and really act! Which is his fort.

But Rajni does not need to act with variation....... He does not need to act... Rajni just needs to Star in a film!


And most Importantly.... Rajni rarely encounters failures! But for kamal failure is like a bread on a sanwich.... its everyother film! Lately its been failure everyfilm!

[Jacky]

"And most Importantly.... Rajni rarely encounters failures! But for kamal failure is like a bread on a sanwich.... its everyother film! Lately its been failure everyfilm!"

Cuz he acts once in 3 years. Sometimes it's 2 years, if he acts 2 films/year then his BO reputation will not be the same.

Chandramukhi has created history at the Chennai box-office! The film has taken 100 percent collections in its second weekend. In 11 days the film has netted Rs 84 Lakhs from eight Chennai screens, which means a distributors share of approximately Rs 55 Lakhs.

Sachein has not been able to hold on to its 92 percent first week opening and has fallen badly. Mumbai Xpress has derailed all over Tamil Nadu. Even at Sathyam Cinemas, where all Kamal films take bumper opening, collections are dropping day by day. Lucky continues with 50 percent collections and the new entrant this week is Hitch at number five.

Movies,

"Indiaglitz also states CM to be first! but it says MX is second, but i beleive Indiaglitz talks about the US box office ....? It even gave contact ads! "

If Indiaglitz were to post the rankings of the US site, then other films like Ram (i don't remember them), etc would not have featured in the list, since they are not released there.

Giving contact ads for the US is just an additional info. they are giving. I believe they do the exclusive abroad publicity for both CM and MX

Hey who is making fun of Bips now :x :lol: , Bips looks Gorgeous in Bollywood films :P :P :P, many thinks that influences one's look is adequate lighting and camera angles, in terms of actors, if you take Super* for example, he looks good only in side angles, while kamal /Raghuvaran/Karthick and ME :lol: looks good in all angles, actresses wise Aish, Simms, Sridevi(after the nose re shaping), hema malini are absolute beauties in any angles :P :lol:

[Movies]

Guys

Check out SIFY article on the extent on Chandramukhi!

Just Shows Magnitude of Rajni!

Quite Obvious he is numero UNO!!!

Kamal is no where near!

[thumburu]

Movies, there is no need to broadcast the obvious. But novelty and qualitywise, Byke Otti has overtaken Pei Otti as commented by Kalki.
Now, coming to music of CM, Ra Ra is easily the best song and most of the credit goes to the MD of the Kannada version(Gurukiran??) .
Devuda Devuda resembles an Andhra folk song in praise of Lord of 7 hills.
Konja neram is good despite AB. But seems to be a rehash of some old IR song, esp the charanam ending has a humming which is ditto "kalai nera poonguil" song of "Amman koil Kizhakkaale". There is really nothing worthwhile in VS's efforts.

[TISK]

WHEREAS THE 'BIKE OTTI' HAS BEEN "OF LATE" MAKING PRODUCERS INTO PAUPERS, THE 'PEI OTTI' CONTINUES TO GET THE INDUSTRY THRIVE AROUND HIM AT EVRY ASPECT!
THAT'S WHAT IT COUNTS!

[Movies]

Thumburu!

>>>But novelty and qualitywise, Byke Otti has overtaken Pei Otti<<<

I am sorry but i just feel its an argument for the sake of it!
MX was an average comedy! Nothing new, nor any quality!

For the first time I think Rajni beat Kamal in novelty and quality and success. Despite CM being a remake it has novelty!


All the time Rajni only had success when he and kamal fought face to face! But this time Rajni neat kamal on everything!

For instance eventhough kamal was in a full fledged comedy, Rajni beat him at the comedy department as well!

I know People may not agree, but whos comedy are people at large laughing and roaring at the theaters? To Rajni in CM ofcourse! Rajni impressed all class! And comedy is something that shud make all class forget grief, and rajni has done it! Kamal hasnt proved by the fact that MX bombed at B and C, and partially surviived at the A centre!

[Vaz]

Guys just try to be impartial and criticise if need be... but don't praise blindly...

I'm myself a rajini fan but I won't praise him for whatever he is doing... Quality wise MX is way ahead and Kamal is an amazing actor. Rajini has chosen a more commercial path...

In Chandramukhi, why was there that stupid subplot with sheela (I think that's her name) and 'ummaiyan'... a complete waste. Why was there that scene with TPGajendran doing some introduction in a pityful way... There is a lot more...

In MX the romance part was completly artificial/avoidable. The movie could have been really funny had crazy mohan written the dialogues...

Anyway both are there to entertain you and they are not your kin! If Rajini has returned the money for baba's loss so what? If Kamal is making the "producers into paupers" so what?

[Raghu]

Thumburu!

I agree with you completely, Rajni is by far better than Kaml in the comedy department, Kamal should stick to serious acting, regarding Kamal's comedy department, I find it terribly boring and he relies on dialogues to make you laugh, where else Rajni's awsome face expression is enough to bring the roof down, do any of you remember his englis comedy scenes and the scenes wuth snakes, you can not beat Rajni in the comedy or villainish department, the plus point in CM is Rajni as vetai Raja!!!

[m_23_bayarea]

The only way Kamal can ever think of taking over Rajini at the box-office is by coming up with movies like Indian, or Devar Magan, or Nayagan....He has to act in serious movies rather than stipid idotic ones like PKS, Pancha, or MX.... in the name of comedy.

[thumburu]

Movies, the "Rajini-Vadivelu" tragedy combo was "kumattal " at its best and beyond a point got very stale . ME comedy is not definitely high class but slapstick at its best.Well, we seem to differ in what makes a bettr comedy. So let us agree to disagree and leave it here.

[Cinefan]

Kamal is by far the best in comedy,it's not just Kamal fans who tell that,any one with a neutral attitude towards cinema would vouch for it.To say Rajni is better than Kamal in comedy is itself a comedy.Anyways,I don't want to start another Kamal Vs Rajni war here.The one going on in the tamil films thread is itself disgusting. Enough of digressions.Rajni fans can carry on praising the brilliant music of CM :D

Chennai weekend box-office (April 29 to May 1)



Chandramukhi in its third week, still manages amazing 92 percent collections with slightly lower ticket rates. Karan Johar- Sharukh Khan produced Kaal has collected Rs 9,43,540 in its opening weekend from three Chennai screens.

At number three is XXX-2 which had a worldwide opening with Chennai. The big surprise is hat Mumbai Xpress staged a comeback at number four, thanks to Satyam theatre collections and Vijay's "Sachein" has dropped to number five.

Commenting on the CM vs MX ,definetely CM is far ahead of MX in collection ..But having said that it also needs a mention that Exhibitors of Chandramukhi are having loses as the Minimum Guarantee paid was much more than for MX ...

But DIstributors minted money for CM ..

[stranger]

Exhibitors of Chandramukhi are having loses as the Minimum Guarantee paid was much more than for MX ...



And the source for your statement is ??? :?

CM is an average movie. But nobody knows why it does that well in BO
including Kerala and Malaysia and in the USA!!!

I do not see the exhibitors losing money unless u quote the reliable source supporting your statement.

Thank you! :)

[quote] Chandrmukhi is still running in NJ but not MX

I completely agree that CM gave lot of profit to exhibitors. No question about that.

[TISK]

Read somewhere that VeRRi theater in Chrompet earned the dubious distinction of a single day maximum collection in the whole of India on the 1st day of CM!
What I mean to say is that theater owners always know on how to make money on a given movie and they just sell 10 or 15 tickets and sell the rest in black by their own people and make money. So, to say, that theaters lost money on CM is a wasted argument!
EVERYBODY MADE AND ARE MAKING MONEY STILL ON CM!

[puyal]

Well, the positions of tamil new year releases are in the following positions
1) CM
2) hindi movie
3) xxx2
4) MX
5) sachin

Prediction: CM will be number 1 in collections for atleast next four weeks... (Note: It is only my prediction)

My info of CM making some loses ,is from Kamal Yahoo groups ..

Before you jump into conclusions ,these guys are not those guys who sit and make intelligent prdictions ..These guys have extensive network across Tamil Nadu with Distributors /Exhibitors ..

Thye do recognise that Mx has made loses - Please don't start a fight here ..If u don't beleive in this ,its very much fine ....

You need to know the minimum gurantee paid of chandramukhi is much much higher than Mx and hence the loses ....

Again this does not mean all teh exhiibitors have made loses !

MumbaiRamki,
I'm also from the same Kamalfan group. They were very neutral in telling the facts about BO of both MX and CM.

[MumbaiRamki]

Kanna ,
U are right :)
There was a series of articles written on Kollywoord producers VS DIstributors VS exhibitors by MR.Kannan Swamy of Kamal Yahoogroups .
Let me know if anybody needs that ...

[stranger]

mumbai ramki:

Yahoo group discussion should have "SOME BACK REFERENCES" cited in it". If I were you, I would have quoted them to strenghthen the statement.

Even if "Yahoo Kamal group" is filled with "Arichandrans", it aint considered as a reliable source to defend your statement.

Of course I "agreed" with you to close the "argument".

Now I bring up again because YOU TALK as if you cited a publication which has been reviewed by committee of judges.

Please highlight the "back refeneces cited in the discussion", if you could?

Thank you! :)

I have nothing against the facts! :)

[MumbaiRamki]

stranger ,

As far as i have known few members in Kamal Yahoo Groups ( like Kannan Swamy ) claim to have extensive network for checking out the collections and stuff like that -So far they have been honest enough to admit which one of the Kamal's movies were a hit and which ones were a flop ..It is impossible for me to verify their facts - the very fact that they admit that some movie sof kamal were flops it self is a reasonable ground to belive them ..Infact the FIR for MX was that it is a disaster ,later it picked up a bit in chennai ,banglore and in Mumbai ...


They do not quote from any indiafm or any tamilcinema or stuff like that -thats all i know .

[Movies]

You guys saying CM had some losses is pure arrogance and ofcourse manic!

Check out www.tamilcinema.com

YThey have an article about Rajnis next plans, and it states the CM is a bigger hit tha Padayappa. And now Pdayappa is by no means a small film, infact if u put only Kamls hit films in the past decade and half, these collections wont beat padayappa! So by virtue of implications, MX cant be compared to CM for whatever reasons!

FACE IT! Kamal means utter DISASTER!

[TISK]

Please stop this nonsense, Mr.'Movies'. Please dont incite the Kamal fans. In what way a hit Rajni movie, a negative for Kamal and vice versa?
After all, Rajni is just doing one movie in 2 years nowadays whereas Kamalis still 'acting' on par with other younger heroes and is still a threat to many of these folks.
Kamal is a great actor and let's just leave it at that anfdd just gloat over this great show by our SS Rajni.
'late-aa vandhaalum latest-aa varuvEn-nnu sonnadhai prove paNNittaaru!
Leave Kamal alone, please! and concentrate on SS only!
Thanks.
Hope you take this in the right spirit!

Mr. TISK,

I agree 100% percent with you!

Rajni and Kamal are 2 gems of tamil film! Truly!

But if you did realise, itwas certain people who got weary of rajni's CM successs!

[tscii:bacdcbe72a]Chandramukhi is turning out to be bigger than Padayappa or Baasha, in terms of box-office collections! All existing box-office records are being swept away by the Chandramukhi tsunami wave at turnstiles. It has become the favourite summer outing among families all over Tamilnadu and there is a repeat audience for the film.

This clearly indicates the final verdict that Chandramukhi is a blockbuster of gargantuan propositions. In Chennai city (in 21 days) the film has collected a distributors share Rs 1.27 Crore and is all set to break the Padayappa record of Rs 1.45 Crore! According to a trade analyst, the film may garner Rs 2.25 to Rs 2.50 Crore from Chennai city alone in the long run, making it the highest collecting film in history!

In Kovai territory, comprising Erode, Tirupur, Coimbatore, Nilgiris and Pollachi on 24 prints, Chandramukhi collected Rs 2.36 Crore in 21 days and may become the first ever film to cross the magic Rs 3 Crore figure from this area in the long run. In Tamilnadu’s biggest territory the NSC area (North Arcot, South Arcot and Chengalpettu) the film is likely to get a distributors share of Rs 8 Crore! And down south in TK area (Tirunelveli- Kanyakumari) the collections are likely to be Rs 1.50 Crore twice of what Padayappa did!

If one were to go by these figures, then Chandramukhi will do business worth Rs 22.5 Crore from theatrical rights in Tamilnadu. The normal practice in film trade is to calculate the box-office takings of a mega blockbuster is to multiply the Chennai city distributors share by 2.5 = Tamilnadu distributors share. And if family and repeat audience continue to support the film till the schools reopen (June 1) and there after if collections don’t drop drastically and average around 50 percent , then Chandramukhi may do theatrical business worth Rs 25 Crore from Tamilnadu.

In Bangalore, Rajnikanth’s home town Chandramukhi will do Rs 1.50 Crore and from rest of Karnataka another Rs 1.50 Crore making it Rs 3 Crore. From Kerala the film is likely to make a distributors share of Rs 1.50 Crore. In Andhra also the Telugu dubbed version of the film is a super hit and is poised to make around Rs 8 Crore! And in other North Indian belts like Mumbai, Pune, Belguam, Ahmedabad, Ranchi and Delhi it has a potential to collect Rs 50 Crore mainly from multiplexes.

Overseas also Chandramukhi is a big hit especially in Malaysia, UAE, US and as per trade buzz, the film will be the first Tamil movie to do business over $ 1 Million (Rs 4.3 Crore). It is expected to do Rs 7 Crore overseas including DVD and local TV rights.

So the bottom line is that Chandramukhi has the potential to do business worth Rs 45 Crore worldwide with almost 60 percent coming from Tamilnadu theatrical rights alone. It is truly amazing that a Tamil film could do such bumper business worth $ 10 Million!

We at Sify.com salute Mr Rajnikanth the ultimate superstar. His worldwide charisma and reach is truly phenomenal. Rajni sir – you are the Emperor of Tamil cinema

[stranger]

[tscii:18d61398f8]RAJNI's Chandramukhi picks up! :)


Bad and wrong strategy by our big heroes helped a dubbed movie in big way. Rajanikant’s Chandramukhi, which was struggling to find audience a week back, has finally shot to top stage, thanks to our inept films. The film is now doing roaring business as the summer holidays are in and students and family audiences are thronging to the theatres, Chandramukhi has emerged the winner, pushing Allu Arjun’s Bunny down.

It is now considered a hit in Andhra Pradesh too. In Nizam, the film is running in more than 50 theatres with almost 90% of ticket sales every day. In Andhra, particularly in Vizag and Godavari area its position is not that rosy.

The major factors that helped Chandramukhi getting revenues is lack of competition from Telugu films as Venky’s Subash Chandra Bose became a disaster and no big star film is there to compete.

Chandramukhi has got bad talk initially as the film’s content lacks ‘enough commercial material’ but with Bunny collecting average gross, it started picking up patronage of ladies. And in turn, the film rose from an average grocer to hit film. Delay in release of top stars movies this summer also helped the movie.

Meanwhile, Allu Arjun’s Bunny is struggling to stand in the race now. Although, it has slipped to second place it is still draws good collections in Hyderabad.

Chandramukhi wrecks new releases in Andhra!!




*Superstar Rajnikanth has staged a comeback not only in Tamil cinema but on the Telugu screen too.

His Chandramukhi tops this fortnight's list.

1. Chandramukhi After the disaster 揃aba? Rajnikanth has come out with a super hit. Besides Rajni's charisma, the novelty of the plot has also helped the film's success. Better publicity can improve its prospects further.

2. 揝ubhas Chandra Bose? Venkatesh's maiden patriotic film has had a great opening, but it is beginning to prove a letdown. The contrived plot and the pedestrian narration of K. Raghavendra Rao are putting audiences off.
3. 揃unny? After a good opening, Allu Arjun's anger-driven film is losing its sheen at many centres. It did attract the youth initially, but an overdose of action is keeping family audiences away.
4. 揌ungamma? Director S.V. Krishna Reddy's slapstick comedy lacks enough meat to carry it through. Comedians Venu Madhav and Ali, in the lead roles, try to salvage the moronic plot but Reddy's dream of recreating the magic of 揧amaleela?will not materialize.
5. 揗r Errababu? The lean trot of young actor Sivaji continues since his new release is just a rehash of flop 揃hadradri Ramudu?with a few minor changes. Despite the lavish London sequence, the love story has little appeal. New releases will push the film down further.

Rememeber that Tirupachi was purchased for Rs 1 Crore for the same area. It did better business than Ghillli and has crossed the Rs 2 Crore figure!

Nobody except Sify can give such an statement !!!!!

CM is a big success ,but i doubt on the figures posted by sify !!!

[Movies]

Mumbai Ramki;


You are just jealous!

Sour grapes thats all its for!

I think SIFY is right for one obvious reason. Its calculations are based on the box office, and box office pertains to chennai . And sify says the other figures are an estimate based on CM success in and around chennai.

And Sify has correctly pointed out Rajnis strongholds such as NSC and Trichi areas. Im from Tirunelveli and the figures it Quotes for that area are very logical considering previous movies with great collection.



LAKAKAKALALALAKAA...RAJNI RULZ!

[MumbaiRamki]

Movies,

My opinion regarding sify is same whether it is a Kamal or Rajni Film !! I have also pointed out MX did make some loses in NSC market .

Refer indiafm.com and u will see how authentic they are !!They show the figures in each and every theater in Mumbai !!!

How wld you belive that Tirupachi was a better hit than Gilli in some areas ?Is this anyway believable ?

As i have mentioned above ,CM is a big success ,but it is only the figures they quote i doubt :)

[Movies]

"MX made some loss in some area?">>>

MX was a loss everywhere! Sathyam probably was the only saving grace, but Sathyam is always running to packed houses!

Mumbai R u in chennai? Somewhere in Tamil Nadu? If u were I am sure you would know the extent of CM's success!

Sify did say its an estimate! It never claims it a fact!

Hey, If a Rajni movie cant make that much money no other movie can!

In tamil Nadu making a big budget movie exceedinbg 20 crores is always a deficit! Unless its a multi lingual such as Indian. Thats one reason why people stopped makin big budget movies!


And Yes vijay has a crazy fan following! Havent u seen crazy people flank theaters for a vijay movie? I know people who watched Tirupathchi a couple times! And I saw tirupatchi , its one big stupid movie!

All films dont get minimum Guarantee! Only films theater people think will earn them for sure they go for MG!

Till a few years ago only Rajni got Minimum Guarantee and at that time Kamal also did!

Now lately its been Rajni and all Vijay movies!

Kamal hasnt been getting MG since heyram! I think virumandi bagged MG in some major places thats all!

Now grow outta ur dream!

[njv]

when i read this whole thread one thing is clear "kinattrukkul thavalai"

common guys think outside the box and think big. even rajni came out of the usual box and did somethign different in cm.

i dont know how long this KH-RK fight will go on. they are going to retire in 2 to 3 years and no one will remember Rajni and Kamal will have nothing but few places where his name is engraved (may get few life time achievement award after his death) and people will go on in their lives. why fight huh?

[MumbaiRamki]

Movie Sir ,

MG is the minimum Guarantee that a Theater Owner pays to the distributor and the Distributor pays to the Producer .These are very intresting models .We have a very beautiful article on that by Kannan Swamy of Kamal Yahoogroups .If you want that ,i can send it to you .

It failed anywhere apart from the cities! And I would say Kamal ruined the whole fun Munna bhai had , because Kamal dominated Prabhu " Circuit"!

House of Wax is at number three and a Telugu film Bhadra is at number four. Sachin is at number five.

You are hurting all Rajni fans by constantly bringing in a R&K fight issue each time a new post appears and I request you stop it immediately. A friendly request!
Hope you will wake up.
Thanks.

Don't ever forget the great contribution these two movie giants R&K, have given to Tamil Cinema and bashing any one of them for the other is deplorable.

Now, after hearing the 'Dhevudaa' song many times, i get this feeling that it has very distinct features of that IIR's 'kOzhi koovudhu' song by S.Janaki, 'veerayyaa, verayyaa, nee ippo yaarayyaa'.
Any takers?

TISK, glad you pointed me this. Yes, devuda devuda looks like inspired from veerayya veerayya nee ippo yaaraiya.

Raghu - Athinthom sounded like Maankuyile in saranam, but the rest of the tune didnt fit either song. I need to play both at the same time to see the correlation. Good observation again.

BTW of MX is a flop, that shows the taste of tamil people. Few of my bengali people who saw MX in hindi loved the movie and they felt that Kamal should have done some bengali movie. I keep telling Kamalji that he is wasting his time in Tamilnadu, serving the people with out taste and he keep telling us, no some one has to take the first step. hmm...

The song Konja Neram by Asha ji & Madhu BalaKrishnan reminds of some Old Dr.IR & Dr.KJY song back in 80's, perhaps it is to do with the fact that Madhu's voice DR.KJY's voice (Younger) are so similar

[TISK]

"Raghu',
All songs fall under a certain 'sandham' count, either 4 beats or 5 or 6 and it is always possible to find similarities in various songs.
The creativity[??!!] of a MD lies in how he manipulates a popular tune without directly reminding us of the original tune.
Some will take a 4 beat tune, retain the initial beat and extend it to a 5 beat one with some variations and vice versa.
A classic and time-old example of this is the following two songs. Both can be sung in either tune.
"pEsuvadhu kiLiyaa illai peNnarasi mozhiyaa"
and,
" maambazhaththu vaNdu vaasa malar cheNdu"
Try it!
There are many more! In fact there is a seperate thread for this here in TFM Page!

50 Days of `Chandramukhi`

By Moviebuzz
Thursday, 02 June , 2005, 10:35

Chandramukhi has created history, as it continues to rock and is steady at all the 170 releasing stations in Tamilnadu where it is completing 50 days today. The film has broken all existing box-office records and the way it is going, it will complete 100 days in all releasing stations- a unique record for a film!
'Abhirami' Ramanathan, the chief of Tamilnadu theatre owners association says: "I have no words to describe Chandramukhi, which is once in a blue moon mega blockbuster. The ladies and family audience have made it an event". At Ramanathan's Abhirami theatre in Chennai, the film has collected a whopping distributor's share of Rs 39 Lakhs in 46 days breaking Padayappa record of Rs 34 Lakhs in 112 days!

At Santham theatre (Seating capacity 568), The film has taken a share of Rs 30 Lakhs in 46 days which is fantastic. Udayam complex in Chennai where Chandramukhi opened in three screens, the distributors share in 46 days is Rs 48.5 lakhs!

Heard of a place called Ukolathupalayam? It is a C-station near Tiruchi where normally a super hit collects a distributors share of Rs 30,000 to 40,000 as it is played only after the main stations. Now, here Chandramukhi was released simultaneously and the film has given a share of Rs 3,25,000 already!

"Amazing", "Unbelievable", "Super" are the words being used by the trade to refer Chandramukhi collections all over Tamilnadu. All theatres outside Chennai are not willing to divulge collections figures fearing Income Tax raids!

[TISK]

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,

Another interview from SS
http://www.hindu.com/fr/2005/06/03/stories/2005060304040100.htm

[thumburu]

Raghu, thought "Konja neram" is a pleasing melody, Vidhyasagar cannot take the credit for the originality. It is a rehash of few IR songs and MSV songs too. The starting line "konja neram" resembles "mazhai varudhu mazhai varudhu" song. The first bgm is just ripped off from an MSV's bhagesri based song . The humming at the end of charanam is again ripped off from IR's "kalai nera poonguil" from Amman Koil Kizhakkaale

[thumburu]

sorry it should be "though"

[TISK]

'ippadi yellaam paarththaa, oru paattum minjaadhu.'
Unless it is an obvious copy [Like Deva], we should learn to wink at these songs and give credit to the MD for giving a different and pleasing melody.
VS definitely deserves for 'konja neram'.

Hey MumbaiRamki,

In your message the last two lines, exposes your intent. So, dont try to hide it. You do not appreciate that much CM as an ardent fan. But dont try to please others. Because your second line of last two lines in the previous message, shows how eagerly you look for drifting your attention from CM.

"It’s already been more than 50 days since the film was released. We are yet to remove the ‘houseful’ board even now," say some theatre owners with obvious joy. "The film has given more returns than we had ever imagined. We can say, ‘Chandramukhi’ has given a new lease of life to theatre owners who were on the verge of destroying cinema houses and constructing more viable options like shops or a marriage hall," said an Arcot distributor.


"My share as a distributor alone has come to 38 lakhs. This is like manna from heaven," says Abhirami Mall owner Abhirami Ramanathan with pleasure. "In 15 years, this is the first film where I see families coming together in droves to see the film,’ he says in surprise.


Being the 200th film to be screened at Abhirami, it is also the top grosser. Not only in Tamilnadu, ‘Chandramukhi’ has created records in Kerala, Andhra, Karnataka, Canada, USA and Australia too.


In Kerala, Andhra and Karnataka, our super star has put a spoke in the earnings of the films of local heroes. The earnings of the 50 day run is…hold your breath…60 crores!


It is supposed that a 100 day run could lead to an 85 or 100 crore earnings. If the supposition becomes a reality, Rajini will easily be hailed as India’s one and only super star

Sify /Cinesouth -> I did'nt mean they are biased - but i have my doubts in their figures ....

For example ,sify reported that around 1 lakh audio cassets of sachien sold in first week - which is highly un believable !!!

Secondly ,shortly after vijay's interview they suddenly raised sachein to second place while sachien has been a damb squib at BO !

All of a sudden in the 6 /7 th week Mumbai Xpress came to the second place while the truth might not be so .

Having said that ,only in chennai do they have an official figures .All the other places ,it is just an eye wash - Except for AVM no producer has so much insight to the collections( other than chennai ) is what some of my friends claim .It applies to all the movies be it a rajni or kamal or vijay or ajith !

It is a good thing to point out that the inspirations and give proper credit to the original composers - so far ,so good ..

But why a site only on that ? Can this site also not publish articles abt the greatness of our musical directors in simplicity !!!How many of us can understand the musical terms ? Will it not be great ,if some body takes a song and analyses it thread bare and points out the greatness and beauty of the song ?

[inetk]

I need a lot more maturity and musical knowledge to get into those things. Yes, I wish we had a site like what you've mentioned. I remember reading analysis of IR's songs by Dr Lakshminarayanan...something like that. For those who have not read those articles, here's where you can read them.

[MumbaiRamki]

Karthik ,
Thanks alot for that Article and ur frankness !

[vijayr]

Mumbai Ramki, there are a lot of places including TFMDF where songs of different MDs have been analyzed. So having a site exclusively for inspirations is not a bad idea. It will serve as a single focussed reference page for all inspirations.
Check out RD Burman's inspirations. An eye opener. And some of the northies claim that he was the best ever forgetting great MDs before him. Ironically, the songs that they listed as his great creations(mehbooba mehbooba, chura liya hai etc.) turned out to be inspired.

[app_engine]

inetk (Karthik), are you sure `mounam pEsiyadhE' is by YSR? I remember reading somewhere that it is by copy master Sirpi...

[MumbaiRamki]

VijayR ,
It is impossible to create anything without inspiration consicously ! EVery composer including my fav Raaja have to be 'inspired' - All we can say is that in many cases we don't know the source of inspiration .It does'nt mean that composers do a copy of the songs - But most of the times it happens in the sub -consicuous mind,esp in Art forms it happens !

And your point is very much valid - But my suggestion to karthik is to have some articles ( may be cut ,copy pasted ) or atleast links to articles which discuss abt our composers !

[Music4Ever]

"It is impossible to create anything without inspiration consicously ! EVery composer including my fav Raaja have to be 'inspired' "

True, but with due respects to the above opinion, there are some compositions which are more than just inspirations. To wit, the KuluvAlilE African cry, Akkara cheemai azhaginilE, endha poovilum vAsam undu, Mehabooba, O Maria (RDB's number in Sagar), Minnalai pidithu, Athiththom, and Sirpy's famous borrowings. With such blatant copying how can we place trust in our MD's? Statements like "music should happen spontaneously" should be treated with a liberal dose of the needful, thanks to Karthik's itwofs.com. Needless to say, when I sent the link to several of my friends (tamil and non tamil) they were simply dazed.

[MumbaiRamki]

Yes - there will be ..I don't have any doubt in that ! BUt in some cases ,the composer may not be guilty ,the producer might have wante dit ...

For example ,in Minority report there is a scene in which Tom Cruise waves his hand to see the 'future' images and a background music is played by John Williams .I happen to note that it is a note to note copy of Schubert Symphony .

But when i read the script for Minority report ,i wa sshocke dto find that they had mentioned to play Strauss symphony during that scene ( probably John WIlliams felt Schubert may be better ) ..SO there ar eother complexities which we are not aware of also !

"Yes - there will be ..I don't have any doubt in that ! BUt in some cases ,the composer may not be guilty ,the producer might have wante dit ... "

In that case, due credit should be given to the original that was borrowed from. Failing that, the argument that the composer may not be guilty seems flimsy to me, especially since the MD, if he is of the stature of IR/MSV/ARR, gets all the credit for a hit song. :)

"It is impossible to create anything without inspiration consicously ! EVery composer including my fav Raaja have to be 'inspired' "

True, unfortunately, people those who try to be too original hardly ever succeed! 8)

It irritates people when one do not admit it and when one justifies that in an ugly manner! 8)

A report on Ilayaraja's Thiruvasagam release function. This news report focusses exclusively on what Rajini spoke in the function...he talks about his not working with Raja for his films...

This is what the top positions list in chennai according to SIFY data.

May be they should have Chandramukhi- Part-II. This time, the ghost can enter into Simran, and fights physically with all sorts of andhar balty with Rajini. Rajni worships lord muruga and brings a vel from Palani and kills Simran and once and for all Chandramukhi... how is it,
Idhu eppadi irukku

The story can start like this....

Inside that Palace of Vettaiyan Raja, there are lot ot tombs. One of them, is Chandramukhi tomb, in which simran body is kept. The ghost enters into the body and then the story goes as mentioned in my previous message.....

puyal: I am surprized cinesouth keeps anniyan in the second place, still!

* Cine south and the new indian express (dinamaNi) delivers a completely different scenario about CM and anniyan!

* Whereas, Indiaglitz and Sify seem to give a different picture.

* Sify does not talk about anything other than chennai and sathyam cineama as far as box-office report of anniyan is concerned.

* Indiaglitz gave a review which was more like commercial to anniyan. They did not make any criticisms about anniyan which was very strange.

The bottomline is:

CM is a mega hit unarguably. Even Telugu media admitted after few weeks that CM picks up, despite bad reviews in the beginning.

Anniyan has not been accepted as a "super hit" all over tamil nadu yet. But it does better than CM in Andhra box office.

It is really strange, how this "stranger" turned out to be as far as bo report from TN is concenrned! :?

Stunning show by Chandramukhi
IndiaGlitz
Saturday, July 23, 2005



Super Star Rajinikanth’s comeback film Chandramukhi has shattered all records at the box office.

The movie on Wednesday successfully completed 100-run show in over 156 theatres all over the world including in theatres in Sri Lanka, South Africa and Malaysia.

Produced by Sivaji Productions and directed by P Vasu, the movie an inspiration of Kannada movie Aapthamithra, starred Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Vadivelu, Nassar, Jyothika and Nayantra.

After a dismal show in Baba, Rajni took a long gap for two years to come up with Chandramukhi. The unprecedented success of Chandramukhi has made the industry look up with hope, say the trade circles.

Chandramukhi has brought family audience back to the theatres, say theatre owners

The silver jubilee function of Chandramukhi will be held in style at the university auditorium in Chennai on October 1. The day also happens to be Sivaji Ganesan's birthday and Sivaji productions has chosen the auspicious date for the celebrations.
Everybody associated with the film will take part in the function as it has been billed the "official" celebration for the success of the film. The chief Guest at the function would be Union minister and veteran Telugu film director Dasari Narayana Rao.

The highlight of the evening would be the much anticipated speech of Rajnikanth (remember that Rajni had promised at the audio launch that he would speak next at the silver jubilee function) in which he will state the reason for the success of Chandramukhi.

A small diversion while 'prabhudas' is figuring it out the problem with the recording!

You all may have been reading about the awesome IIR 'live-show' recently. Two things stood out from those write-up's.

1. When people wanted IR to sing one more time the 'naan thEdum sevaandhippoo idhu' song, do you know how they asked??!!
Yes..... you guessed it right!They all were chanting in unison......
"repeat.....tu"!

2. The more and more I read about Shreya Goyal singing that famous 'KJ' song from 'Johny'.. 'kaaRRil yendhan giitham', my mind sings the first line and automatically is followed by ,
"raa..raa.. sarasukku raa.raa"

Now, over to 'Prabhudas'

:idea: :D
