Now
that the Pongal fever and the initial
obsession for the movies are over
with, the movies that are in the race
are starting to show their true colors
at the box office. If initial reports
are anything to go by then take our
words for it: Pokkiri is emerging
as a winner at the box office.
Thanks
to the slashed ticket rates Pokkiri had the biggest
of all the openings among the Pongal releases.
The close competition came in from Ajith’s
Aalwar and Vishal’s Thamirabarani. Popular
dancer-cum-actor Prabhu Deva’s Directorial
debut in Tamil lived up to its pre-release expectations.
Reports suggest that the movie is running to packed
halls as opposed to the other releases.
Pongal does not seem to be the sweetest time of
the year for Ajith. Though the movie opened to
full houses on Pongal, the next few days seems
to be a let down. It can turn out to pick up in
the later days to come. The third movie in the
race is Thamirabarani. With diverse reactions
at the box office, it is learnt that Thamirabarani
is definitely catching up slowly.
Paruthiveeran hasn't seen the light of the day
yet and if good reports and word of mouth of this
25th Jan release gets in motion, the other three
movies might have a dent in their collections,
specially in the B & C centers.
