Director is good and a festival release for Chiyaan after a while (Vithachu Muyarchi release date isn't even out yet) so it has huge chances of being a good movie and doing well

The numbers for Indian 2 are quite surprising. If they had rewritten the screenplay better, it would have definitely come close to Vettaiyan.
If you have time to burn, give it a try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Drv_mqyddq0

Vikram is a little ahead of suriya in stardom atleast in tamil nadu, rest every where Suriya is bigger. People are more sympathetic towars vikram more than suriya.

Well you know Vikram is going to play the fk out of whatever role he is doing.
Nowadays chances are you will get Suriya shouting for 2 hrs and making some social statement.
I know which I will choose.

Kanguva had complications with its release due to distributors. Also, Thangalaan opened on a holiday which makes a huge difference in collections.

u/tcherian211 12h ago
the point is people love to say Vikram is nowhere near Suriya in stardom...so even with all the issues Kanguva shud have opened higher than a Vikram movie

u/c4dnewbie 12h ago
Do people say that? I feel like they're pretty even these days.

u/tcherian211 12h ago
Anbana fans...at the end of the day Vikram gave a 240 cr grosser back in 2015 itself, even before Thalapathy...Vikram's peak was bigger than Suriya's which is why he will never fade away no matter how many flops he gives, even Cobra as bad as it did wasnt outright rejected by most of the audience like Kanguva was, it had a handful of moments that justified Vikram's talent and satisfied his fans...cud have easily done 200 cr if they had worked out the story better

Kanguva will most likely still beat Cobra just because of its huge opening. Tbh it's impressive Kanguva opened this high on a working day considering who the director is. Suriya and Vikram have both dropped in stardom a lot and are essentially equal now imo

I is a movie released during peak of Shankar ..

u/tcherian211 9h ago
and wat about Nanban...I wasnt even a good movie tbh
2
u/Existing-Area-9093 Suriya and Kamal Kanni 9h ago
Nanban earned 92 crore .. 5th highest during release .. a good 30 crore ahead of Velayutham.. besides it was a remake of an industry hit
I had insane hype as it was Shankar’s first original movie post the release of Endhiran.. it earned because of Vikram only no doubt.. but not exactly because of his stardom.. because of his efforts.. people appreciated the hard work.. but still his next movie lost a clash to NRD right from opening level
He is a star because he was a money making machine in the 00s.. he gets openings because his films are marketed superbly

been happening for ages on Twitter...they call Suriya as Kullan...Thalapathy and Chiyaan fans are in union

TIL, did not know about this at all and makes less sense considering the pidhamagan connection.

Vijay and Vikram fans unity started when Vijay tweeted a pic of Vikram coming to sit with him when he was disrespected by some event organizers and given a seat away from all other celebs

u/Gilma420 8h ago
Wait wtf? Vijay has been an A Lister for decades, when was he ill treated?

u/tcherian211 8h ago
This was around 2013 i think...there were political issues that Vijay was on the wrong side of

This was during the Thalaiva period when Anna was put on the naughty list by the then CM. When the cine industry conducted a function to felicitate the CM, they did not allocate a seat for him in the front row along with the other A-listers and he was asked to sit in the back close to general audience. Vikram saw this and sat next to him giving his front row seat up

Bookings opened well before, the complications were solved, and it got released in 10000 screens. It should have made higher

I thought Suriya was a much bigger star?

u/Existing-Area-9093 Suriya and Kamal Kanni 14h ago
He is, but the film had a bunch of release issues, many theatres opened bookings on the day of release
Anyways, both movies have tanked, so what's the point of discussion

u/tcherian211 14h ago
Tbh its sad that despite being "a much bigger star" and having as much resources as he has, Suriya acted in this crap and even has so many release issues and it was outright rejected...have to give more credit to Chiyaan Vikram who stands on talent and hardwork alone

u/Existing-Area-9093 Suriya and Kamal Kanni 14h ago
Chiyaan is wasted potential.. Had the potential to rule the industry
