Vijay gives a free hand to Khaidi director

Tamil superstar Vijay is a huge mass hero, all his films cater to his fans and directors compromise on their vision to pander to his image. He is currently working in ‘Khaidi’ director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has established himself as a director with great sensibilities.

As Karthi starrer ‘Khaidi’, which was directed by Lokesh, became a sensation hit in Tamilnadu as well as in Telugu states, Vijay has now asked the director to stick to his vision. Vijay is also on a mission to expand his market in Telugu states as ‘Adirinidi’ and ‘Whistle’ well-received here.

This has made Vijay tell the director not to worry about his fans and image and make the film that will appeal to cross-section of audiences. So, the director has been given a free hand in making this movie.

Bigil Movie Review

Bigil Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating : 3/5

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s movie Bigil hits the screens Today across the globe in Tamil and Telugu languages. The film directed by Atlee is set in the backdrop of football.Nayanthara is the leading lady and AR Rahman provides music. AGS Entertainments bankrolled the film and East Coast Productions is releasing the film as Whistle in Telugu

Story:

Bigil is a talented footballer whose father Royappan is a gangster in Chennai. Royappan , who stood against the evil gangs , wants his son to stick only to sports. His dream is to see Bigil plays in national team and brings laurels to the crime ridden local community. Whether Bigil is able to fulfill his dad’s dreams or not is rest of the plot

Analysis:

(This reviewer has watched Tamil Version. Telugu version outcome might vary due to dubbing quality and nativity like factors )

Bigil starts off like any other commercial flicks, takes routine mass path for first 30 minutes. Vijay’s trademark mass histrionics entertain his fans, movie makes no progress for a while. It gets intense after the father Royappan enters, his character brings much needed weight to the story. Bigil had to give up his passion due to the result of the violence that surrounds his life. Pre interval, Interval episodes are series of incidents that occur before Bigil’s planned Delhi visit.

Director Atlee is able to deliver solid emotion and drama while narrating the backstories of two players; the homemaker and acid attack victim characters came out really well. Despite having grand production value, star technicians and glitter around, it is the emotional drama that lifted this film to success. Atlee showed his strength in emotions, from writing stand point he could have been better in rest of the story.

At regular intervals, Vijay’s larger than life image has been utilized well by the director Atlee. Heroism elevation, mass mannerisms as such elements are a plenty. In second half much of the film is a typical sports film theme – Initially team in disarray, hates newly appointed coach ( hero ) , motivational song and underdog wins formula etc are shown in succession but with slow pace at times

Vijay is effortless in portraying two characters and three shades. His three introductions are feast for fans. Nayanatara as Angel got significant role which stands by Bigil throughout.

A popular football player Bigil, who played just 6-7 years ago , being unfamiliar to the present women team doesn’t add up. They think he is mere Rowdy and hates him. Villainy is not strong enough, Jackie Shroff‘s character lacks much required punch.

All songs are good on screen, Singappenney song stands out with its colorful theme. A surprise special appearance in this song !Maathare song is another good one with its inspirational stuff

Positives :

  • Vijay ‘s superb performance in three variations
  • Royappan characterization ,Bigil mannerisms
  • Emotional scenes in second half
  • Social message around common hurdles sports women face

Negatives :

  • Length ( 2hr 55 mins)
  • Routine template at times
  • Poor villainy

Verdict :

(This reviewer has watched Tamil Version. Telugu version outcome might vary due to dubbing quality and nativity like factors)

Bigil is a cocktail of mass elements, social message and lavish making which strikes right chord at box-office. Director Atlee & Hero Vijay complement each other better than ever in this sports drama. If we excuse the length and few redundant scenes.. BIGIL is a decent watch for all , awesome watch for fans.

Tamil Top heroes disdain Telugu audience

Tamil Top heroes disdain Telugu audience

Telugu moviegoers encourage dubbing films very well. This is the reason why the market for Tamil films in our states has increased significantly over the years. As openings are vital for big ticket films, the makers are keenly spending on promotions in other states before their release. Even our Telugu heroes command good market in neighbouring states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. So, during promotions our star heroes allot time to woo audience there. Top stars like Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi etc graced the promotional events of their films held in Chennai and delighted fans and media by speaking in Tamil.

Unlike Telugu heroes, some Tamil stars disdain audience in other states. Despite their films doing strong business in Telugu states, Tamil stars are not turning up for promotions here. The latest example is Tamil superstar Vijay who skipped the pre release event in Hyderabad which was held a couple of days ago. Bigil, getting dubbed as Whistle, did a solid business of 10 Crores in Telugu states. The promotional event was attended by director and few other technicians, but audience were disappointed as Vijay didn’t come to the event. Also, the film’s leading lady Nayanatara skipped the event.

Vijay’s recent films fared well in Telugu states. Whistle is also set for a terrific opening here as it is creating strong buzz due to the aggressive promotions by Telugu buyers. So, Vijay’s presence could have added more buzz to the hype on the film in Telugu states. Even media is unhappy with Vijay’s contempt towards Telugu audience.

Bigil’s football match to be a treat

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movie Bigil is hitting the screens this Friday in a record number of 4200 screens across the globe in Tamil and Telugu languages. The film directed by Atlee is touted to be an out and out commercial entertainer which is set in the backdrop of football. The latest we hear is that the last 40 minutes of the film is the major highlight of the film. The football match looks packed and is breathtaking which elevates the film well and takes it to the next level.

Sources revealed that the match came out really well and the makers spent a bomb on the crucial climax episode. Vijay will be seen essaying the roles of a father and son in Bigil. Nayanthara is the leading lady and AR Rahman’s score is the other major attraction. AGS Entertainments bankrolled the film and East Coast Productions is releasing the film as Vigil in Telugu.

A testing time for Vijay and Karthi

A testing time for Vijay and Karthi

No major Telugu film is releasing during the Diwali festival weekend paving way for two dubbed movies occupying all the screens in Telugu states. While Karthi has steady following and market in Telugu, Vijay has been trying to get a hold of the Telugu market for a long time.

Not having Telugu films in competition is a huge advantage for Vijay and Karthi but this season is also a testing time for them. Karthi’s “Khaidi” seems to be a serious movie with no glamour quotient and entertainment. It is an intense drama. Such films have limited appeal at the box-office. Besides the niche content, Karthi’s popularity has also come crashing down with a series of flops. This is a big test for Karthi in the Telugu market.

Vijay, on the other hand, has nothing to lose but gain. His “Whistle” has generated terrific buzz all over India. If the film clicks with Telugu audiences, he would stabilize his market here. The film needs to collect Rs 10 Cr minimum to reach the break-even stage. With the help of Dil Raju and super planning by presenter Mahesh Koneru, Vijay’s film has grabbed a maximum number of theaters. This is the best time for Vijay to prove his strength now in Tollywood.

Whistle Trailer : It’s Vijay show all the way

Tamil star Vijay’s highly anticipated film Bigil is dubbed into Telugu as Whistle. The Telugu trailer is out now and it promises a wholesome treat for audience as Vijay shines in dual roles : a football coach nicknamed Whistle and an aged mafia don Rajappa.

The visuals are grand and AR Rahman’s pulsating score elevate the action episodes. Nayanatara is paired with Vijay in this film.

Director Atlee seems to have once again made a full length commercial pot boiler with a lot of whistle-worthy scenes that will appeal to mass audience. All in all, Whistle trailer showcases Vijay as an all round performer in dual shades. AGS Entertainment banner has bankrolled the film on a whopping budget and Telugu producer Mahesh Koneru has bagged the rights in both Telugu states.

Ajith vs Vijay Fans war in Kollywood!

The film industry in Tamil Nadu is quite dependent on the superstardom of heroes throughout. The fans in Tamil Nadu are quite sentimental about their hero’s reputation and this has been the thing since MGR days. The fandom then became a clash between Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth fans which led to rifts and patch-ups many times.

But now, the fan wars have seeped into social media where they defended their respective heroes with extreme actions and making trolls and memes. During the birthday of Ilayathalapathy Vijay, the fans of Ajith started trending the hashtag #June22VijayDeathDay which enraged Vijay fans very badly. But the issue subsided when Vijay fans cooled the situation by using the hashtag #LongLiveAjith. Just a month later, Ajith fans brought out the trend once again by using the hashtag #RipVijay which has been trending on Twitter at a national level.

The issue became an out and out controversy when this trend became a national happening. Vijay fans tried to calm the situation down by countering Ajith fans with the hashtag #LongLiveVijay. The surprising aspect is, neither of the heroes responded to this happening till date or made an attempt to pacify the fans!

No promotions for Sarkar Telugu version

Tamil Superstar Vijay has been struggling to establish his market across Telugu states. His last outing Mersal raked decent numbers in Telugu and is the highest grosser among his films in Telugu.

Vallabhaneni Ashok acquired the Telugu theatrical rights of his next film Sarkar for Rs 6 crores and the film has been sold for Rs 7.70 crores across AP and Telangana. With no big releases for Diwali, the film is expected to register decent numbers in Telugu. AR Murugadoss is the director and Keerthy Suresh, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar are the heroines.

Though the film has been carrying huge buzz in Tamil, the Telugu version is expected to open low. The movie stills of Sarkar are not given to the Telugu producer even after several attempts. Vijay clarified that he is not in a mood to promote the Telugu version of the film. After a debacle like Spyder, AR Murugadoss too is not keen on facing Telugu audience and fans through promotions. With just hours left for the release of Sarkar, the promotions for the Telugu version are yet to kick-start.

Vallabhaneni Ashok and his team are left in shock with the happenings. Vijay who is struggling to establish his market should spend ample time for Telugu promotions. Right from Kamal Haasan to Suriya, Karthi and Vishal, all the Tamil actors have focused on promoting their films in Telugu. But Vijay turned out to ignore Telugu audience which will soon leave him behind in the race in Tollywood.

Vijay’s Sarkar in plagiarism woes

Vijay’s next outing Sarkar landed into plagiarism issues after the story had clean match with Varun Rajendran’s Sengol which has been registered with the South Indian Film Writers Association (SWAN). The story has been penned by Varun in 2007 and SWAN is ready to hand over a letter to Varun Rajendran stating that the entire story of Sarkar matches Sengol.
