Siruthai Chennai Box Office Collections Jan 28 - Jan 30 2011

1. Siruthai Karthi is in a dual role and Tamannah is in

a dare-me-to-shed-some-clothes mode.

Remake of Vikramarkudu, Siruthai raises

more questions than entertaining since

the director seems to have taken his

cinematic liberties a bit too far. Trade Talk:

Rural centers are providing respite for

the movie, what with multiplexes

registering a trend of slowdown in

collections. Public Talk:

Fun to watch Karthi shouldering the

responsibilities of his roles with ease,

nevertheless. No. Weeks Completed: 2

2.Aadukalam Dhanush – Vetrimaaran team ’s Aadukalam is quite an impressive account

of lives that revolve around rooster

fights and emotions that coat the sheer

existence of people who are threatened

with the success of their peers – betrayal, fear and ego. Dhanush and

Jayabalan have come up with

powerhouse performances scripted by

Vetri ’s mighty pen. Trade Talk:

Trade pundits suggest that an analysis

of the outcome of the movie’s collections provide a rosy picture, thanks to

overwhelmingly positive reviews and

word of mouth. Public Talk:

G V Prakash proves his mettle with

‘Ayyayyo’ and ‘Yathe’ songs and Tapsee complements both the songs very well

with her sparkle. No. Weeks Completed: 2

3. Kaavalan After the realization of the failure of

‘one-man fighting the odds of the society’ formula movies hitting hard, Vijay ’s timing could not have been better in releasing Kavalan. Director Siddique

maintains his humane touch in Kavalan

rendering Vijay scope for performance.

Asin is a pretty add on. Trade Talk:

Slow and steady but with positive word

of mouth, the movies collections are

consistently retaining momentum. Public Talk:

Vijay seems to be personally involved in

the publicity and promotional activities

of Kavalan. No. Weeks Completed: 2
