This pongal is going to be really big for the movie fans in TamilNadu as two of the biggest movies are to be releasing tomorrow.
two
movies that are to be released on January 10, 2014
Ajith’s Tamil movie “Veeram”, Vijay’s
Tamil film “Jilla”.
The massive release of two big
movies during Pongal festival period will be highlighted by the presence of
lead actors who enjoy massive popularity in not only India but also the world
over.
. The festival period can easily accommodate two
films, but how it will work for two big films is yet to be seen.
So far, the pre-release for both "Jilla"
and "Veeram" have been really positive. Both the films are releasing
in good number of screens. According to reports, "Jilla" is releasing
in over 1,000 screens worldwide and "Veeram" will be showed in more
than 900 screens.
Advance booking for both the films have received
fantastic response. According to entertainment industry tracker Sreedhar
Pillai, "Jilla" and "Veeram" tickets have been sold out for
the first weekend in most places. The Vijay and Ajith starrers are likely to
take bumper openings in their first weekend.
Both the actors command a huge fan following
worldwide. This is not the first time that the duo's films are releasing on the
same day. It has happened on a few occasions in the past, and the last time
their films clashed was in 2007. In the recent times, big Tamil actors have been
avoiding clashes between their films as they might eat into each other's
revenues and affect the collections.
After six years, Vijay and Ajith films are set to
clash at the box office. "Thala (Ajith)- Thalapathy (Vijay)" fans are
eagerly waiting to see the battle between the stars, but the films distributors
are wary about the clash. "There can only be one winner here. It will be
illogical to expect both movies to become blockbusters though the dices are loaded
in favour of both the flicks. The producers are taking a huge risk by releasing
the movies the same day," one of the leading distributors in Chennai told Bangalore
Mirror.
Vijay and Ajith, who are among the top league of
actors, will be expecting their respective films to perform well at the box
office. After a string of average films, Vijay bounced back with
"Thuppakki", one of 2012's blockbuster flicks. The actor's 2013-film
"Thalaivaa" was mired in a controversy and its release was delayed in
Tamil Nadu. This affected the film's business and it turned out to be an
average grosser.
Vijay will be expecting nothing short of a
blockbuster in "Jilla" to retain his position at the top in Tamil
film industry. On the other hand, Ajith will also want "Veeram" to do
well and continue his successful run at the box office. The actor has been on a
roll with films such as "Mankatha" and "Arrambam." If
"Veeram" turns out to be a hit, Ajith will once again strengthen his
status as the undisputable king of box office.
“Veeram”
Ajith, who is teaming up with
director Siva for the first time, is doing a rural film after a long time and
will appear in Dhoti with its trademark salt and pepper look. The movie will be
an action packed massive entertainer and the story revolves around Ajith and
his five brothers.
“Jilla”
Vijay’s
“Jilla” is also set in a rural backdrop and is an action entertainer, which is
creating a buzz not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Kerala for the reason
Malayalam superstar Mohanlal is paying crucial role in the movie.
Undoubtedly, "Jilla" and
"Veeram" will be taking extraordinary openings in their first
weekend. But, which film emerges on top is what trade experts and fans will be
eager to know.
