CHENNAI BOX OFFICE

Mirchi Shiva has notched up another success and has established his position as a salable hero. There haven’t been any major complaints about the latest version of Thillu Mullu and that itself is a victory to the team, given the classic status of the earlier version. There are plenty of laughs guaranteed.

A safe prospect for everyone concerned.

They are just loving Mirchi Shiva’s brand of dry humor and his dialog delivery style in particular.

THILLU MULLU PREVIOUS WEEK RANKINGS

This remake banks heavily on the comic timing and dialogue delivery of Mirchi Shiva and he has done complete justice to his role. Prakash Raj, Isha Talwar, Kovai Sarala and Sathyan complete the star cast.

There is still some steam left in Thillu Mullu albeit the shows are reduced to give way for Singam 2’s release. On the whole, the movie has been able to break even in the four weeks of its run and is a safe bet for all its stakeholders.

Shiva has a couple of interesting movies lined up.

Prakash Raj, Isha Talwar, Kovai Sarala and Sathyan star in this remake of the 80s hit. The movie is spruced and tweaked according to the next-gen crowd and ends up as a pleasant watch.

The movie has already reached the ‘break even’ position. Now it’s for the trade analysts to say if it will last another week or two.

Shiva is slowly gaining the bankable actor tag.

The remake of the same movie from the 80s, Thillu Mullu has Shiva reprising the role immortalized by Rajinikanth. Prakash Raj, Isha Talwar, Kovai Sarala and Sathyan complete the star cast.

From the looks of it, Thillu Mullu doesn’t seem to be putting up a neck-to-neck fight with TVSK. But that’s not to say, the movie’s business is anything to complain about. Theatres are clocking in above average attendance.

Shiva’s comic timing and Prakash Raj’s nuanced acting are the highlights.

The rehash of the Hindi cult hit Golmaal, that was remade in the 1980s in Tamil with Superstar Rajini in the lead, Thillu Mullu has an interesting star cast of Shiva, Prakash Raj, Isha Talwar, Kovai Sarala and Sathyan.

Opening weekend has been encouraging and reviews have been decent. Above average attendance reported in the theatres.

Prakash Raj’s reprisal of Thengai Srinivasan is restrained while Kovai Sarala’s shrilly antics are over-the-top yet entertaining to an extent.
