Vijay’s Aathi being postponed by a day has favored Ajith’s Parmasivan to an extent, as the tickets booked for Aathi were given preference of repayment or watching Parmasivan. Audience preferred the latter option of viewing Ajith’s return. With most of them giving an affirmative approval, for the Ultimate Star’s performance, there were mixed reactions as well. Thalapathy fans who were eager to see his film ended up watching Thala on Pongal day! But everyone seems to like Ajith as Subramaniam Siva. Most of them seem to vouch for Utlimate Star out of sympathy

As per the theatre statistics Devi (1238 seats) and Abirami (996 seats) Annai, Shakti (500 + each) saw an identical trend in ticket booking with black tickets for both films selling like hot cakes. As for Devi theatre 80 Rs ticket was sold for 200. In Albert (while the first show of the day was going on.) 80 Rs ticket ranged between 220-250. Meanwhile theatres in suburb of Chennai, had no galore at all. In Devi Karumari at Virugambakkam, tickets for Paramasivan and Saravana were available at the counter itself. The same scenario prevailed for Aathi at Thiagaraja in Thiruvanmiyur.

On the whole, Ajith’s come back with Paramasivan as an action hero has been impressive with a fair hold. However, quite a few audience of Paramasivan felt that the story line is similar to that of Arjun’s Jai Hindh which released decades ago. For Little Superstar’s Saravana it is a usual K.S.Ravikumar formula with customary scenes and masala. As for Vijay’s Aathi, general opinion prevailing among the public is that it doesn’t cater to all age group. It is a typical commercial movie with kuthu pattu and punch dialogues. But we will have to wait for few more days before we get a final verdict on the movie

So the total panorama is that Ajith as Parmasivan has faired well with his exquisite presentation. For Vijay it has been the same with his cluster of fans, clouting dialogues and over the top fight sequences. He would live as Aathi for his aficionado until his next film…
