 Varisu didn’t exactly turn out to be a unanimous hit. Though the box office collection of the film tells a different story, the general consensus is that it didn’t turn out to be an undebatable hit like Vijay’s Master or Bigil. Hence, all eyes are on director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is teaming up with Vijay for the second time for the film, tentatively titled, Thalapathy 67. Ever since the movie was announced, fans have been waiting for some official confirmations on the cast and crew of the project. According to the film’s producer Lalit Kumar, the wait will be over in a matter of ten days. It was earlier said that Thalapathy 67 updates will be out after the release of Varisu.

 Vamshi Paidipally seems to be disappointed with some of the criticism of his latest directorial Varisu. In a recent interview with Viktan, the director lashed out at some of the trolls and criticism of the film. When he was asked about the comparison between Varisu and TV soaps, the director went on to make a long statement claiming that he is not making films for critics but for the audience. He said, “I don’t disrespect critics, but one thing I want to tell is that my motive for making films is not critics. I am here to make commercial films. I make films for the audience. Critics’ views are subjective. You are already judging a film, and that’s your job and prerogative. We had an 8.30 pm premiere at Sathyam. When the film ended with the dialogue ‘no family is perfect’, everyone gave a standing ovation. We then went to Rohini (theatre) for the 4 am show. When the film ended, everyone stood up and looked at us and started taking photos. That is when Thaman and I got very emotional. N

Mysskin began his journey in cinema by assisting director Vincent Selva, who helmed the 2002 romantic movie Youth starring Vijay. “I worked with Vijay while making Youth. And 20 years later, I’m working with him again. He hasn’t changed much. In fact, he is looking more younger and handsome now. I’m very happy to be working with him,” Mysskin added. Thalapathy 67 is billed as an out-and-out action film. And Mysskin was quite thrilled to have worked under the direction of Lokesh Kanagaraj. “It was a great fight sequence, and he (Vijay) left me with a bloody

 It was a mighty clash at the box office this Pongal as Thalapathy Vijay’s Varisu and Thunivu headlined by Ajith went head-to-head. After minting moolah in the first four days, both the films witnessed an impressive first Sunday. Varisu, which opened in Telugu states and Hindi belt days after its Tamil release, saw a solid Sunday. According to Sacnilk, the early estimate of the film’s first Sunday collections is around Rs 18.50 crore, taking its all-India net total to Rs 85.25 cr. Vijay’s film had an overall 74.52% Tamil occupancy on Sunday, the industry tracker noted. The response for the Hindi version was also encouraging.

Varisu box office collection day 3: Thalapathy Vijay starrer is competing head-to-head with Thunivu

Image
 Thalapathy Vijay’s Varisu, which was released in theatres on Wednesday, witnessed a drop on its third day as the collevction fell from Rs 26 crore on opening day to Rs 10 crore on Friday. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the film’s gross collection stands at approximately Rs 57 crore. The Vijay starrer is maintaining a slight edge over Ajith’s Thunivu.  Since Varisu’s release in Telugu states was delayed by three days, trade analyst Ramesh Bala said on Twitter that the film’s box-collection will get a boost on Saturday with the Telugu release.  Varisu was Vijay’s big release of the year. His last on screen appearance was in 2022’s Beast which also managed to pull in the big numbers, however, it did not receive any critical praise. Varisu, on the other hand, is getting some word of mouth promotion. Indianexpress.com gave three stars to the film and called it “ a mix-mash of many films.”  A part of the review read, “But this isn’t a film about the plot, it is more about the moments it w

Varisu review: Conviction and self-awareness win it for Vijay’s generic masala product

Image
 At one instance, Thee Thalapathy song to be precise, Varisu stops being a film and becomes a showreel of Vijay. The editing turns out to be gaudy and becomes a collage of Vijay’s slo-mo videos that comes across like a fan tribute video you can find on YouTube. In another instance, the movie completely slides into a subplot about saving a girl from human trafficking, and in many instances, it becomes a meta-comedy. Songs and fights arrive exactly where you expect them to come without skipping a beat. But everything that’s supposed to be jarring works because of the conviction with which they are done. It’s silly, dumb, and illogical… but fun. 🌟🌟🌟 Varisu is a mix-mash of many films including Srimanthudu, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, Atharintiki Daaredi, and every other iteration of that one story about the succession of the reluctant son, who turns out to be the only hope to save the empire/family. Director Vamshi Paidipally has made a film with a screenplay that comes across as a produc

Varisu vs Thunivu: Everything you need to know about epic box office clash between Ajith and Vijay

Image
 “En nabana irukaruthukku endha thaguthiyum venaam, edhiriya irukarathuku thaguthi venum (You don’t need any eligibility to be my friend, but you do need it if you want to be my foe),” is a popular dialogue from Ajith’s Billa (2007). In terms of box office records, Ajith has always had a worthy opponent– Vijay. Though the two actors have always maintained a cordial relationship in real life, when it comes to the film business, it has always been a war. It’s an age-old phenomenon in Tamil cinema, where two top stars have always been tussling with each other in terms of fanbase and collections. We had MGR vs Sivaji, then Rajinikanth vs Kamal Haasan, and now, Vijay vs Ajith. Over the years, Vijay and Ajith have had releases on the same day, and both have had their share of wins and losses. In fact, Ajith and Vijay are clashing at the box office for the 13th time. It started way back in 1996 when Vijay’s Coimbatore Mappilai and Ajith’s Vanmanthi were released on that year’s Pongal. And the

Thunivu director H Vinoth on Ajith-Vijay box office clash: ‘Fans should keep it healthy’

Image
 Filmmaker H Vinoth is quite confident about his upcoming movie Thunivu as he suggested that it will be one of the best films of his career so far. The movie is also his third consecutive collaboration with Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar. And he believes as long as there is mutual respect and trust between an actor and director, there is no need to worry about regular collaborations. “We don’t need to worry about whether or not it’s healthy. As long as that team is doing a good job that’s enough. Ajith sir and I did Nerkonda Paarvai and we both think it’s a very important film. We also did Valimai with good intentions. With all the lessons we learned from the past movies, we have made an entertaining and better movie this time,” he said.He added, “Ajith doesn’t have the airs of a star. He behaves with everyone like a common man. On the sets, he will be like a man next door. We both have a comfortable relationship. We have mutual trust.” H Vinoth also revealed a lesser-known fact about Aji

Vijay’s Vaarasudu to release on January 14; Dil Raju says ‘audience will wait for good cinema’

Vijay-starrer Varisu‘s Telugu version Vaarasudu will open in cinemas in Telugu states on January 14. The film’s producer Dil Raju announced the release date in a press meet held in Hyderabad. The Vamshi Paidipally directorial is slated for a release in Tamil on January 11. Revealing the reasons behind the delayed release of Vaarasudu, Raju said, “We are releasing Vaarasudu on January 14. The Tamil version will release worldwide on January 11. The decision for the release of Vaarasudu was taken after having discussions with industry bigwigs. Although the Telugu version will be released a few days later, I have confidence in the film’s success. There will be no problem when we release a movie that is going to be a super hit. We also have the belief that the audience will wait for good cinema. The main reason to release our film on January 14 is we have Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy on January 12, and on the 13th, Waltair Veerayya’s release. My main intentions are these movies should re

The trailer of Vijay’s upcoming Tamil film Varisu, which is gearing up for release this Pongal festival, was released on Wednesday. Going by the trailer, the plot seems to be about the youngest son of a big family rising to the occasion when their business empire is on the brink of collapse. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the film marks his maiden collaboration with Vijay, who is also making his Telugu debut with this project as well. The trailer pretty much reveals the entire plot of the film. It is the story of one big joint family of Vijay and his two elder brothers. Sarath Kumar plays the patriarch, and he takes care of the business empire. The family is targeted when a business rival decides to play dirty, and it is left to Vijay to hold the family together come what may. Varisu will be the first major Tamil release of this year along with Ajith’s Thunivu
