Hi all,
First things first, wish you all a happy new year. This post
is strictly for audience who love watching movies. Last week , there was a
clash in the box office in TamilNadu when two big stars clashed after 7 years.
Both stars have lot of fans and when the news was there that both movies were targeting
pongal release, it was already a huge news , that the fans started revisiting
the history for their earlier clashes, and counting box office collections to
decide who leads among the two. This no spoiler to the movies, as both the
movies had storyline mixed among various Rajinikanth’s
movies, anybody who says this is a spoiler, has never seen a Rajinikanth
movie , and such a species would have
never existed / will not exist in
India.
Due to these two big star’s movies, no other movies were
released as for sure that they cannot match the hype and promotions as these
two could. The power of social networking is so huge that for one movie the
trailer released just two days before the movie released and youtube hits were
in millions immediately before the movie released. The producers could easily
reduce their budget for promotion, as the fans do it at a much higher rate, which
the producers could only dream of.
Nobody bothers about the cast of the movie,
as for instance ‘Veeram’ teaser and
trailer had no other face than Ajith, while the other ‘Jilla’ just had Vijay bashing all the villains and one frame for
Mohanlal.
Honestly speaking, fans of both the actors would have been
just hoping that the movie will turn out to be a one time watch atleast, as the
history of directors is like that. While Veeram
was made by director who did Siruthai,
which was one of the horrible movies that gave the viewer severe headache (
including yours obediently ) the
other one Jilla was made by the
director who was assistant in Velayutham.
I am not sure whether he did any movies, even Google and Wikipedia does not
have information on that. Considering the history of these directors, no one in
this planet could have expected a class movie. It was told that both movies had
village subject, one set in villages where still there is a gang leader, kovil thiruvizha with lot of grandeur
for weeks, other one had Meenakshi temple’s Gopuram appearing here and there
wherever possible, the traditional place of gang lords in Tamil Cinema, Madurai. Considering such information
about the movies , the producers of the movies should have been awarded with
Bravery award for the year, while fans should have never told that they are
fans .
But the reality is different, both movies are making
blowing trumpets as a symbol of victory, and fans too are celebrating. For
people who had not seen both the movies, please don’t think that the movies
were good, it is time to get out of dream and come into reality.
Because these two stars clashed, the fans of both these actors
took it as an oath that they should somehow make the movie get good
collections. If Dhoom 3 , Chennai Express
could make more than 200 crores, these two could easily get half of it, as
the reach for Hindi movies are greater than Tamil Movies. If these two actors
movie releases on same date like this, they will try for 200 Crores for both
the movies, fans could make Hindi movies run for their money.
If these two movies were solo releases, both the movies
would have been declared as an failure easily. And just because these two were the
only movies released during the festival, audiences had to choose among the two
. It is very difficult
to separate TamilNadu from movies, any body who knows history of Tamil Nadu
politics could easily say that. The connection between movies and Chief
Minister post is too high that it never can be neglected in Tamil Nadu. As a
result both the movies are declared a hit, as both are equally bad . This kind of judgment
could only be possible only in the era of Kejriwal , or probably even he could not make it, only Thala Thalapathy can do it.
While one movie appeared to have a story line, other did not
have. While one had proper editing, other one could give a run to Oscars as
nobody on this planet ,when given a scene, no one would be able to say which part of
the movie it came,even after watching multiple times. It is high time that people appreciate only good movies and make
the directors run to make good movies. I agree not all movies can be good, but
movies should not collect money and it should never be taken as a fact that one
guy in the movie can make the decision whether it will be a hit/flop.
And may be in future censor board can introduce a new rating TT for Thala Thalapathy movies, may be they will first give UU to any program which has KamalHaasan in it, that nobody is able to understand what he speaks, justifying Unable to Understand.
Bye till next,
P.S : Adiyenum inda moota paya kootathla oruthan than' nu neenga maranduradeenga :).
