With Vedalam's Record-Breaking Opening, Ajith Might be New Rajinikanth
The grand opening of actor Ajith's film Vedalam is being seen as a new high at the Tamil box office. Experts say it's the biggest ever opening, beating even superstar Rajinikanth's Lingaa that clocked Rs 13 crores last year. Many now look at Thala, as he's fondly called, as the next superstar in the making
The grand opening of actor Ajith's film Vedalam is being seen as a new high at the Tamil box office. Industry sources reveal Ajith's Diwali release has collected close to a whopping Rs 15.5 crores on day one and around Rs 12 crores on the second day.
Experts say it's the biggest ever opening, beating even superstar Rajinikanth's Lingaa that clocked Rs 13 crores last year. Many now look at Thala, as he's fondly called, as the next superstar in the making. (Also Read: Vedalam Breaks Records to Become Tamil Cinema's Biggest Opener)
Sreedhar Pillai, journalist and entertainment industry tracker, says "It has broken all records. He has a huge fan base and he could well be the superstar in the making although there are few others in the race."
Ajith, who has made over 60 movies and is known for his grand openings, commands a huge fan base. However, he has now restricted himself to only one movie a year.
Fans are excited. Sadhana Kannan, a college student from Chennai, says "This Diwali became special for us because of Ajith's movie."
Her brother Sanjay, a hardcore Ajith fan, woke up at 2 am on Diwali day to watch the first day first show and says, "Ajith could well be the next Rajinikanth."
While many see Ajith's box office record as the beginning of a new era in Tamil cinema, all eyes will now be on Rajinikanth's next film Kabali which may or may not prove he's still the boss of the box office.

என்ன என்ன புலி ஹிட்டா? ரெக்கார்ட் கலக்*ஷனா? அப்போ ஶ்ரீதேவிக்கு ஏன்ப்பா பாக்கி காசு கொடுக்க மாட்டேன்கிறீங்க? செண்ட்ரல் சினிமானு எவனோ ஒரு விஜய்ண்ணா ரசிகன் ஹாண்டில் வச்சுட்டு அலையிறான்னு தோனுது. :)
sakala : உங்க கணக்குப்படி பார்த்தாலும் தூங்காவனம் யு எஸ் கலக்*ஷன் அரை மில்லியனை தாண்டாதுனு தோனுது. லிங்கா ரெண்டுமில்லியனை தொட்டதாக சொல்றாங்க. அதான் ப்ளாக் பஸ்டருனு சொல்றாங்களோ என்னவோ..:oops:
If you think ajith has any role in this. Then can't help you.
Moreover I don't buy this theory of jazz cinemas politics. Ajith's film opened with 550 screens and Thoongavanam opened with 350 odd. Which is not bad considering genere that TVNM and U/A certificate i think it's a fair deal and performed well too. Not sure what's your problem (unless you want to create one).
Anyway I'll refrain posting on this topic again.

I can understand Kamal fans posting some random tweets from twitter handles and screen shots since they are going head on with Vedhalam. BTW innum evalo nalaikku TV successfully packeda odina Vedhalam collection beat pannum nu konjam estimate sollunga, naangalum therinjikarom.
But all the posts from Thideer Kamal fans (sorry neutral cinema lovers) is laughable! Adhukkum mela ethir paakarom!!
