Irandu Mugam is a political satire with Sathyaraj and Karan in the lead. It takes potshots at politicians and their wily ways rather effectively. Sathyaraj is bang on and Karan, as a sly politician, is successful too.
Trade Talk:
The movie has had a rather slow opening, but looks like it will have a good run.
Public Talk:
Nothing as of now but it has the potential to make people go gaga.

Saami has ruffled a few feathers with Sindhu Samaveli as well. Controversy is not new to the director, but the few miscreants who ran down his house should have given him a general idea as to how pissed they are.
Trade Talk:
No trade talks available as such, but the movie has garnered enough publicity.
Public Talk:
Saami has given another reason to the public to discuss about him!

It’s still too early to predict the movie’s fortune that has received mixed reviews from the critics and public.

Neeyum Naanum is a movie inspired by dance-reality-shows on TV. The hero, an aspiring dancer, gathers underprivileged kids to perform in a TV show with aspirations to win the contest. Trade Talk: No data available since the movie has had a rather low-key opening. Public Talk: Nothing heard whatsoever. No. Days Completed: 3 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 27 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 45% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,75,560 Verdict: Below Average Opening  Madharasapattinam seems to have been inspired by numerous national and international love stories set against the backdrop of independence struggle. What makes it tick is the local flavor it is infused with. And, of course, the hummable songs and Amy Jackson. Trade Talk: The movie managed to be profitable at the BO, thanks to widespread positive talks. Public Talk: All eyes are on Vijay, quite literally. He is working on his next project with Vikram. No. Weeks Completed: 7 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 33 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 41% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,89,769 Total collections in Chennai: Rs.3.97 Crore Verdict: Above Average  Ramar is an action thriller that stars a whole bunch of debutants. The movie also boasts of a gripping screenplay and a few hummable songs. Trade Talk: Ramar's publicity campaigners have been active in the SMS sphere and social networking as well. But the movie has only opened to below average houses. Public Talk: Nothing so far. No. Days Completed: 3 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 27 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 45% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 2,01,195 Verdict: Below Average Opening  Vilai talks about the plight of young girls forcefully pushed into prostitution. The director has sensibly handled the subject and the movie does not look for excuses to slip in skin show given the nature of the subject. Trade Talk: Releasing over the weekend, Vilai registered below average opening. Public Talk: Udayathara’s earnest performance No. Days Completed: 3 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 36 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 47% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 2,53,776 Verdict: Below Average Opening  Pasanga Pandiraj’s Vamsam is a total digression from his debut project. It focuses on the lives and times of families in the hinterlands of Tamil Nadu that consider pride and dignity are the essential commodities for life next to basic amenities. Trade Talk: Rural centers are providing respite, thanks to the publicity bandwagon unleashed by the producers. Public Talk: Asin gets a makeover. Really, watch the promos. No. Weeks Completed: 2 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 72 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 58% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 5,98,458 Total collections in Chennai: Rs.53 lakhs Verdict: Average  The movie could not successfully substantiate the poetic title reference. Its characters are inexplicably developed, shoddily performed and the script has quite a few loose ends. Trade Talk: Not so favorable reviews could hamper the movie’s prospects at the box office. Public Talk: Ravi Varman wizardry in handling camera sadly has not extended to direction. No. Days Completed: 3 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 92 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 60% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 9,41,959 Verdict: Average Opening  The remake of Happy Days, Inidhu Inidhu has cinematographer Guhan debuting as director under Prakash Raj’s Duet Movies banner. The college flick, famous for the nostalgia it evoked in Telugu, proves that the overdone genre of college flicks could work too. Trade Talk: With restrained publicity, the movie has opened to above average houses. However, talks are upbeat about the movie that could transpire into collections. Public Talk: Inidhu Inidhu retains the college feel throughout its duration, notwithstanding the fact that sometimes it also gets a little overboard. No. Weeks Completed: 1 No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 77 Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 66% Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 9,67,806 Total collections in Chennai: Rs.46 lakhs Verdict: Average Opening  Agreed there is nothing new in Naan Mahaan Alla, but Suseendran scores brownie points the way he executed his script. Karthi’s charm is endearing and Kajal, with whatever screen time she is allowed, manages to pull it off. As a result, we get a perfect recipe for a potboiler. Trade Talk: What with positive reviews and word-of-mouth, the movie is setting the tone of cash registers all over. Public Talk: With his careful selection of scripts and projects, it won’t be too much to say that Karthi has hit it big in Tamil.
