Just curious.. which movie(s) success is/are well deserved for Tamil cinema.. unga taste therinjuka dhaan..

Endhiran, Dasavatharam for example. I am not looking for logic in all scenes but the concept told was executed better in those movies.

Seen the film, it was refreshing to see something different among "Massala over dose" , Surya as expected excelled in all 3 roles.
On the negative side, it was a bit of a drag, romance scenes were so tedious and a testimony to one's patience ! ARR BGM, songs ,( except "Naan un"), were a big let down.

Trade: 24 Achieves A Rare Feat

Suriya's 24 is a big hit in the overseas market. The film has collected over 1.5 Million dollars in USA. Only a few Tamil films were able to get to this mark in this territory. 24 had a decent second weekend in US by collecting over $200K.

Here is the second weekend break up of 24 in US. Fri: $60K, Sat: $104K, Sun: $49K. With this the film has grossed over $1.506M in this territory so far. Vikram Kumar’s previous film Manam also was a big hit in US. That has collected over 1.5 Million Dollars here.

Sai Dharam Tej’s Supreme failed to attract US audience. The film’s second weekend collections were dismal despite any new releases. It has collected only $14K in its second weekend to take its overall tally to $112K in ten days.

Director Vikram Kumar's Variety Torture

Vikram Kumar is considered as one of the genius directors in Indian cinema industry at the moment. He has a very special talent of presenting complex stories in a very simplistic way so that even a layman could connect to. After 13 B and Manam, Vikram Kumar has once again put his talent to display in 24.

Although the actors feel blessed to be working with super talented Vikram Kumar, rumor has it that he is a nightmare to his producers!

Vikram Kumar is a very moody person who works on his own terms, says the buzz. Annapurna Studios people that have worked with him for Manam share their weird experiences with Vikram Kumar during the shoot.

Now it is Gnanavel Raja’s turn to see the other side of this genius director. When Raja asked Vikram to trim 24 by nine minutes, he stopped answering his calls, they say.

Vikram Kumar didn’t even care to talk to the producer even after he went to the director’s home to discuss about trimming the film.

“Edit whatever you want to, I won’t be doing it,” said Vikram Kumar as per the grapevine. When Vikram Kumar was supposed to attend a promotional event for an FM channel, he has reportedly switched his phone off and wasn’t reachable for anyone.
Gnanavel Raja had to apologize to the FM people for his director’s odd behavior. We hear many other stories about Vikram’s weird attitude and the torture that his team goes through on and off the sets.
