- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,July 06 2007]
Rajnikanth's charm has managed to create a firm grip at the box office for Sivaji. Even after completing three weeks, Sivaji still reigns supreme at the box office. The magnum opus, produced by AVM Productions and directed by Shankar, has managed to witness houseful shows not just in Tamilnadu but all around the globe.
Even after three weeks, the movie is running to packed houses especially in Chennai city. All the 23 screens where the movie released is full of avid Rajnikanth fans. With average theatre occupancy of 96 per cent, the trade analysts feel the movie is sure to break several records in the history of Indian cinema.
Rajnikanth and more of Rajnikanth have done wonders for the movie. The coming together of big names like Rahman, K V Anand and Thotta Tharani had created more hype for the movie and thankfully it sustained all the hype.
Movies like Naan Avanillai and Chennai 600028 have managed to complete 75-day run.
The former produced by Hitesh Jhabak and directed by Selvah had several top heroines like Sneha, Malavika, Keerthy Chawla, Namitha and Jyothirmayee sharing the screen with Jeevan.
A remake of yesteryear flick titled the same, Naan Avanillai is putting up a decent show.
Chennai 600028 is continuing its victory lap. Directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by J K Saravana and S P B Charan has won enough support among the young audience. Starring newcomers, the movie thanks to the good work by the star cast and catchy music score by Yuvanshankar Raja is continuing to woo the audience.
Not far behind is Karuppasamy Kuthagaitharar. Starring Karan in the lead role, KK, directed by debutant Moorthy is winning good patronage especially in the rural areas.
Praveen Kanth's long-pending Thullal finally managed to hit the screens last week. Directed by Praveen Kanth himself, the movie has managed to draw audience thanks to Vivek's good comedy.
Meanwhile, the Chennai box office has witnessing the release of English movies like Fantastic Four, Mel Gibson's Apocalypto and Mohanlal's Hello.
