Aayirathil Oruvan Box Office – Reema Sen Bigger than Vijay?

Aayirathil Oruvan Review – Sin Not to Watch it

Say, we have two doubts.

Help us, will ya. Please.

1. What is it that Reema Sen has that Vijay lacks?

That is other than the obvious assets. 😉

2. And do you think Karthi’s is bigger than Vijay’s?

Hey, we mean the size of the screen appeal. Not what you nasty creepos think. 😉

Folks, in a country where directors usually count for little and stars are all, how do you account for Aayirathil Oruvan’s decent opening weekend performance at the box office (UK, that is) considering Karthi and Reema Sen are lesser lights compared to Vijay.

Maybe, Aayirathil Oruvan is an exception where the director (Selvaraghavan, in this instance) mattered too.

Whether Aayirathil Oruvan is good, bad or ugly we don’t know since we have yet to watch it.

But what we do know for sure is that Aayirathil Oruvan has done better than Vijay’s Vettaikaran on the Average Gross basis in the opening weekend at the U.K. box office.

Look at the below table and the numbers speak for themselves:

    I think AO is piquing interest like none other.. what Avatar did for Hollywood, what 3 Idiots did for Bollywood, is now being done by AO for Kollywood.. ok, I may have exaggerated that a little bit.

    1. You write: what Avatar did for Hollywood, what 3 Idiots did for Bollywood, is now being done by AO for Kollywood.. ok, I may have exaggerated that a little bit.

    Exaggerated a little bit? God, if the above ridiculous statement is not the acme of hyperbole, we don’t know what is.

    To speak of Aayirathil Oruvan in the same sentence as Avatar or even 3 Idiots (from BO perspective) is – to use one of your recent expressions – blasphemy.

    While the AO box office numbers are better than Vettaikaran on Average Gross basis, they are by no means stellar.

    2. You write: I think AO is piquing interest like none other..

    Also, please keep in mind that these days movie-folks employ PR people to engage in seemingly grassroots but in reality carpet-bombing marketing campaigns. Their sway extends to newspapers, blogs, social networking sites like Facebook, Orkut and other forums.

    So it’s possible some of the comments may be coming from vested interests with a stake in AO’s success.

      @SI: hope your suspicion is not based on my absence in the responses section…(do ya have the habit of IP address tracking??)

      they were telecasting promotions and talk shows in favor of the movie in sun tv and vijay tv, which might be one reason for the diverged interest factor on the movie.

      Goa is turning out to be the next big hype…(not sure which movie did he stole*sorry inspire this time). BTW what do you think about vaaranam aayiram’s selection in the best movie category for the national award?

      SearchIndia.com Responds:

      We didn’t think much of Vaaranam Aayiram but as we’ve said on countless occasions, awards in India have no meaning. 🙁

    Received a message few days back – that contained dialogs of a conversation between Reema sen and Andrea, most part of which was censored – with beep sounds. [As one of many social service activities of mine, I give the dialogue here]

    Reema: Shut up you f**king woman!
    Andrea: Who r u calling f**king woman? You are the biggest f**king bitch i’ve ever seen.
    Reema: Yeah right, at least I’m not romancing a scumbag here!
    Andrea: Yeah right, you rather let him have a peek at your b**bs.
    Reema: Shut up you b**ch, otherwise i’ll blow your f**king brains off!

    See , Selva takes tamil film industry to global standards!!! 😉

    kamal and your fav ajith seem to be more popular

    Not really…Ajith’s last movie Aegan was a disaster. Both opening gross and average gross for Aegan were lower than Aayirathil Oruvan.
