Sori-Padam Surya’s Asingam oops Singam has done worse than Sura, one of the worst movies in recent memory, at the UK box office.
Well, who’s surprised. The schmucks, who else.
Serves this Sori-Padam Surya right.
The moron has been consistently giving us shitty movies and the box-office returns of this bozo’s films have been proportionately bad.
BTW, this buffoon reportedly went on TV to thank fans for making the film a super-shit oops a super-hit.
Ha ha ha.
Wonder what the bozo drinks. Hey Sori-Padam, we’d like some of the same scotch.
Hell, Singam has done much worse than Surya’s previous crap-show Adhavan.
Folks, if we’ve said it once we’ve said a million times – Sori-Padam Surya is going the way of his Jillu Jillu Gullu Gullu old man.
Here’s how Singam has fared at the UK box office compared to a few prominent Tamil movies:
As SearchIndia.com blog wrote in the review of Singam:
If Singam proves anything at all, it’s that its hero Sori-Padam Surya and director Hari retain their unerring eye for grotesque perversity….With a fig-leaf of a boring story, a miserable cartoon of a villain, loud noise masquerading as music, a hero who thinks yelling is acting and a heroine who alternates between pouting and flashing her thighs and tits, Singam is but the latest instance of a bunch of gibbering monkeys perpetrating big-time fraud in an avaricious effort to rob you of your time and money.
Now, if you’ll excuse us we’d like to get back to our Gilbey’s Gin (sure tastes yuck without our usual Seltzer water or Soda).
We’re already high and can barely walk type straight.
But you can be sure we’ll have another extra-large tonight to celebrate the failure of this shitty film.

wondering how does it managed to do better than Varanam Ayiram and Ayan. Even though both were crap, songs are way better than this ‘Sin”game’. Of the three, Ayan is far more watchable (like which is better – stabbing with knife, hanging on rope or 50 sleeping pills – i would go with 50 sleeping pills 😉 )

You write: wondering how does it managed to do better than Varanam Ayiram and Ayan.
Heavy publicity/promotion, we guess.
In any case, the difference between Singam and VA is not significant.

Lot of buzz over here at Chennai. Two major events happen tomorrow – Chittiram, new cartoon channel for kids is unveiled as a subsidiary of Kalaignar channel. Penn Singam (Lioness) is releasing for which CM has penned dialogue and screenplay.

Loose Paiya himself is the biggest cartoon. Why do we need a new cartoon channel. Just flash Loose Paiya’s picture on the existing channels.
3. You write: Penn Singam (Lioness) is releasing for which CM has penned dialogue and screenplay.
Does anyone really believe that the Chief Minister of a state has the time to do all this?
What next?

While we we were watching/listening to the feel-good song, Karunanidhi and Sons made Tamil Nadu their fiefdom. 🙁
In any case, most Indian languages will fade away in the next 50 years or so to be replaced by English.
Not just bcoz I am a Tamil (actually I am proud to be)…i dont think thats the case with Tamil. There are few points i can place forth…
Tamil and Sanskrit(no longer in use now) are the only two indian languages which are given real Classical status among the ten chosen (Latin, Chinese, Hebrew, etc)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_language
Out of any Indian languages, only Tamil is recognized as one of the ruling language beyond India (Sri Landa, Singapore and Malaysia – source Wiki). There are many boards/organizations developed in Singapore and Malaysia to modernize and equip the language to meet future generations. So even these loose paiyya or loose ponnu take Tamil nadu to another nadir, it would still exist in those countries. Comparatively speaking Tamil nadu or India is no match before Singapore or Malaysia.
Tamil has a strong presence over the web more than any other Indian languages. I meant the real Tamil words. It made extensively available. Even native Tamils stops speaking the language, Google wont stop its research on Tamil to offer Google in Tamil (now only available in Hindi). You should be also aware that wikipedia is already available in Tamil.
It would be a sin if i dont mention the contribution of Lankan tamils who live in considerable amount at UK/Canada and Australia. They are one who speak better Tamil and write blogs/create websites contents in Tamil. They are one of the main reasons for Tamil penetration into the web.
And even you oppose, until Dravidian parties rule Tamil nadu, atleast for the namesake they will organize these type of world summit which would gain worldwide attraction and exposure just to say – Tamil still exist.

Of course SI can read write Tamil/Telugu/Kannada and Hindi (as far as I know…how can this blog named Search’India’?) but SI wont like it when you write in those languages without proper translation in English in parenthesis/square bracket/flower bracket, etc for some obvious reasons… 😉

100 years for Namitha…next movie CM is penning dialogue and screenplay is ‘Ilaygnan’ (Youth) [under-production] in which Nami is offered the role of protagonist… 😉
p.s. This is second film he is penning dialogue and screenplay (Uliyin Oosai is the first) in this term of ruling. Now dont ask me why it didnt make it to your shore 😉

ROFL. Just imagined the same.
Coincidentally, Namitha starring in some movie Ilaignan for which Loose Paiya has penned story, screenplay and dialogues.

We remain skeptical that Loose Paiya is penning scriptsor writing screenplays. As we’ve said often, being a CM is no joke. There’s little time left for non-government activities.

I think its high time you stopped using UK Box office as a guide to a film’s popularity or opening!
For e.g. several successful and entertaining movies have had bad UK box office reports!
Ayan, Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya, Angadi Theru (this is a CLASS movie that you MUST see to appreciate Tamil films), Santhosh Subamanian, etc.
Ayirathil Oruvan, the movie you liked, also fared miserably in UK!!!
Using US box office report could at least be a better Indicator.

1. You write: I think its high time you stopped using UK Box office as a guide to a film’s popularity or opening!
We think it’s high time you stopped frequenting bars during the day.
Please read our response to your similar comment seven months back.
2. We’ll try to see Angadu Theru one of these days when the DVD comes out.
3. As to why Aayirathil Oruvan failed to set the box office afire, one hypothesis is that offbeat, quality movies have a hard time with the Tamil audience.
4. We don’t have access to reliable U.S. box office numbers for Tamil movies. We get them only for Bollywood movies and, of course, Hollywood films.
5. In our not-so-humble opinion, Ayan and Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaaya were most definitely not in the entertaining category of films. They were both abortions, leaving a bloody, ill-formed, mangled fetus on the floor.
my point, exactly!
inspite of my saying this 7 months ago, you bozos haven’t stopped using UK box office as a guide to a film’s success!
First of all, only the Indian Box office Index is a guide to the true entertainment value of the film.
If you cant get those numbers as well, stop publishing biased reports based on UK reports!
Else the joke’s on you folks!
NRIs who visit india once in a blue moon have lost touch with the context of the modern indian fanbase IMHO and so the comments are at best equivalent to our local Indian critics commenting on US movies!
Both are off track as they dont understand the local context for which the movie was made primarily!

Absolute nonsense, in our not-so-humble opinion.
If you take the U.S., Hindi movies are watched by desis of all ages. North Indians dominate of course. We suspect a lot of the viewers are long-time residents here. You can even see a lot of ABCDs watching Hindi films.
But South Indian movies are watched primarily by the under-35 crowd, mostly H1Bs and students who still have strong connections to India as evidenced by the howling, whistling and occasional screaming inside the movie hall. Our point is a lot of the people watching South Indian films here have not lost touch with the context of the modern Indian fanbase despite what you choose to believe. BTW, seldom do we see ABCDs at regional movies unless they are very young children.
Are the UK desis very different from the U.S. desi crowd? Our hypothesis is No.
2. We suspect numbers coming from India (for both Hindi and South Indian films). They are highly susceptible to influence and manipulation by the movie industry. In our not-so-humble-opinion, a section of the Indian media is too cozy and seems to have an incestuous relationship with the film industry.
Have you tried buying DVDs at eshop.ayngaran.com. They have released Angaadi Theru & Aayirathil Oruvan last week. Watched Angaadi Theru – thought that the same director’s Veyil was better (wasn’t bowled over by either movie) mainly because of stellar performance of Pasupathy.. AT doesn’t have such any such powerful performance (no, not even Anjali’s).
The ugly-comedy-sidekick-trying-to-woo-ugly-girl track is no longer cute.. it is becoming overused like the Vadivelu tracks.. They could have shortened the movie without all that nonsense.
AT has a meatier content than Veyil.. If the portrayal of the poor in AT is truthful, it leaves me feeling very ignorant.. hope that the director was just exaggerating their misery to drive home the point..
Regarding box office reports, I agree with shivbits partially.. but for a different reason.
The presence of Sri Lankan Tamils in the UK skews the box office statistics of Tamil (not Hindi) movies, I believe.. it cannot be used as a barometer for a Tamil movie’s overall success…
Saw the pre-blog Veyil review – you had mentioned that you impressed by the Veyyil music, I think http://www.ilike.com/artist/search?artist_qp=veyil&x=0&y=0 is a lovely song.

KilladelphiaPhiladelphia the whole day. Just back…10PM….Hence the delay in processing comments.No, haven’t purchased any DVD from Ayngaran. Checked out the web site a few minutes back…very consumer unfriendly site for e-shopping. Guess, we’ve been spoiled by Amazon.
Regarding the Sri Lankan Tamils in UK skewing the BO results, it’s unclear how much different their tastes are from that of Indian Tamils.
Movies like Vettaikaran, Bheema and Asal with a relatively low per screen average in UK have most likely not done well elsewhere too.
