  viru viru maandi VIRUMAANDI - Total Reviews
  
  No one is not fully perfect but one should always try for it, like kamal. Yes, if udont belive this,
  (and blame kamal for his 'plays' with heroine abhiraami, and his self-promoting intellectual aspirations)then
  read the following links. there are surely down pits in the film, as pointed by them there are many good things
  in virumaandi
  1. all roles played well
  2.music camera, art direction and direction is well
  3.different way of storytelling in screenplay.
  and more.
  
  dont blame kamal and be in a small group, b'cos all big brothers below are saying aloud in one voice that
  
  VIRUMAANDI IS A MUST SEE FILM

  PKIS is going down in its collection because of its idiotic logic-less story,and about 'Jai',nobody here seems to remember that such a movie was released,It's a flop,i chanced to watch a song in that film in TV,the song was something like 'laddu laddu',a cheap song i have ever seen,wished the movie to flop and that has happened,Thank god.

  Now Virumandi Movie and Songs are Number 1 in Box Office Collections and Ratings. In Sun TV TOP 10 and Jaya TV Vijay TV. Also Daily Thanthi Paper Says Virumandi is Number 1. Kumudam, Hindu and other Journals praise Kamal. These Reports will increase Box Office collections in the coming Weeks. Songs have been Super Hits. Kudos to Ilayaraja
  Second Place is Vijaykanths Engal Anna. Puthukottai Saravanan, Jai and Kovil are Flops.

  Kamal has made a block buster (and a classic movie)inspite of so many obstacles, personal problems and earlier cinematic failures.
  I salute Kamal for his strength, courage and self-confidence.
  
  May his service to Tamil cinema and art continue.
  Best wishes.

  The fact of the matter is no movie is a hit. I think Virumandi will end up as an above average grosser in the A centre and fail in B & C where as Engal Anna will be average at A centres and be above average in B & C.
  
  Overall Pongal has been disappointing....I think Tamil New Year would be exciting with Vikram's ARUL & Surya's Ayutha Ezuthu.

  Hi,
  
  I just saw Virumnadhi in Chidambaram and only the quarter of the theater is occupied. I heard from friends the same thing for their towns. May in Madras, it is doing well.

  Yes Shanti. 'Virumandi' is a clear winner. Thanks to Krishnaswami. He made sure that the movie got its publicity even before its release without Kamal Hassan having to spend too much money. The movie was talked about even abroad. Whatever it is, Kamal Hassan is back at the top. The place he, very much, deserves.
  
  
  Hey Madhan, did you know that entire staff of Hyundai company watched 'Virumandi'.
  
  
  Is it? What's the connection for 'Virumandi' with Hyundai?
  
  
  Even I was surprised. I saw it with my own eyes when I went to Sathyam theatre to watch the movie. Scores of Hyundai company workers had come there along with their families to watch the movie. It is terrific that the Kamal Hassan has such a good following.
  
  Look at the 'Virumandi' factor. How far it has grown. Finally, you also started giving news. Do you have anything else up your sleeve?

  Virumandi is No 1 movie in Tamilnadu as well as in abroad. I think Sydney kannan and KE are Rajini fans or something mental.
