Rahman's much anticipated "Boys" is set to release soon and everyone is keen on finding out more about this album. Who are the singers? What are the soundtracks like? When is the release date? Will the album be delayed? If anyone has any idea; please post here....
Also; use this thread to discuss this album..
Here is what i found::
Typical of Shankar, the director is not prepared to say much about the film at this point. However, it is known that the film will be very youthful, almost teeny-bop, in content, with the majority of the cast being in the 16-23 age group.
Shankar, apparently, has decided to cast all new faces in his film – and the younger the better.
In fact, a mention in various Tamil periodicals, and an accompanying advertisement to the effect that Shankar was looking for new faces, has created a headache of sorts for the producers. Curriculums vitae have been pouring in to the Surya Movies post box ever since the ad and the story ran in the vernacular press – and last heard from, the flood shows no signs of abating.
Curiously enough, the ad appears – thanks to emails and discussion groups – to have reached an audience abroad as well, with the result that newer batches of applications have US, British and suchlike stamps on them, which suits the producer and director fine since the film does incorporate a lot of NRI faces.
For Shankar, Boys will be a return to romance after Kadhalan, and to comedy after the Aishwarya Rai-Prashanth starrer Jeans. Though the film will feature fresh – and ergo, inexpensive – faces, Shankar maintains that the film will be typical of his style, which means lavish budgets, and expensive production values.

Writer Sujatha had mentioned in 'Katradhum Petradhum' coloumn in Vikatan that Boys is doing roaring business in Sri Lanka and has become a cult movie there. He also says that in the US, Boys has grossed more than Devdas! The telugu version is also a huge success I'm told.

thnks dinesh and karthik..
even in trivandrum its a hit .
it s on it's 50th day.
normally even if a malayalam movie runs for 50 days , it s a hit here.
i wished shankar's movie be a hit.
the movie was not bad at all.(may be after the cuts!!)

BOYS MOVIE REACHED 100 DAYS!!!HOOREY!!!!
The Galatta Ratings :The muhrat promises hope. The sets seek glory. The lead duo reach for the Sun. The cast play their part . And yet the release sparks a debate. The success stories. The defeated dreams. The box office hits. The silent flops. Know what fate holds for them.
Movie Name No.of Days
Kaadhal Kondain 131
Pithamagan 50
Kakkha Kakkha 100
Boys 100
Thiruda Thurudi 75
Anjaneya 30
Thirumalai 50
Ottran 50

"Boys!!100 days"
I think this is speculation. It disappeared from everybody's top 10 and how can this be true.

For the money spent and hype created, it should cross 250 days atleast, but the reality is different. I think only in chennai, that too with empty seats and producer's puch, 100 is possible.

a film running for 250 days in the present scenario? ... u are still in those good old days when Haridas was released!! ... jus kidding!
and just FYI, i never sed BOYS was a success here ... i sed that it might have run 100 days just for the heck of it! ... but for the vulgarity and double meaning i don think it is a bad movie

Guys,
Small digression. Pudukootaiyelirinthu Saravanan audio sold great, it appears. The link below claims that it has next best audio sales after AlaiPaayutey. Does it means it sold more than Boys? I don't know.
http://www.tamilcinema.com/cinenews/hotnews/hotnews9.asp#hot1
Also the guy who posted this claimed that he has seen same news in sify.com. Check it out guys.
PKS is a cool album, but I would not expect it to be close Alaipayuthey sales.
