<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the end of the first week, the movie has already netted more than 53 crores and it has been declared a hit. The Northern belts and Mumbai circuit have been the standout circuits. In the overseas markets, the success story continues with markets such as USA and UAE outperforming.</div>

Made at a big budget of close to 50 crores, the movie has recovered its costs and is on its way to making handsome profits. This week, there isn't much competition as we have two films, Ramayya Vastavayya and D-Day, which don't have a big star to pull in the audiences. Guess, BMB will gallop for a few more weeks.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Tamil Nadu, the film has opened in 350 to 400 screens. Though the pre-release publicity has been low key, early reviews have been really encouraging and the movie is expected to have a good opening weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Kerala rights of Maryan have been purchased for an amount of 65 lakhs by Sagara Entertainment. The publicity through posters has again been low profile and the movie has released in 79 screens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some leading multiplexes in cities like Mumbai and Delhi have also allotted a few shows for Maryan, probably to cash in on Dhanush’s popularity and visibility in the North, post the success of Raanjhanaa.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maryan hasn’t been released in Andhra Pradesh while Karnataka has seen a big release all over. Totally 50 screens all over Karnataka are screening Maryan with 39 screens coming in Bangalore, 3 in Mysore, 2 in Mangalore & the rest in other areas of the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of the leading multiplexes in Bangalore have allotted 3-4 shows in a day for the weekend & they might increase it after the response over the weekend. The response to the advanced booking through online ticketing sites has not been very high but there are hopes that they may pick up over the weekend after the word of mouth spreads about the film.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The publicity & promotions in the form of paper ads & posters has been less, as the makers wanted the film to have a low profile before the release.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maryan has also been released in prominent overseas markets such as Malaysia, Singapore, USA and UK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With such a wide release, we have to see how the box-office responds. We will keep you posted as always.</div>

While discussing trends in the Tamil and Malayalam film industries and the audience’s response to them, the 'Siraichaalai' hero says that there is a huge market and popularity for Vijay and Suriya in Kerala. He also adds that their films are being lapped up by everyone and the artists have a big fan base in God’s own country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While admitting this, he also puts forth a request to Tamil fans. Although Kerala audiences are open to all kinds of films and welcome them, it is not the case in Tamil Nadu. He feels bad that Malayalam films don’t even run for ten days in theatres in Chennai. He appeals to Tamil fans to patronize Malayalam films also, to enable the growth of the industry. Well said indeed!</div>

In Sangam complex, even Padmam is screening the movie while the smaller screen in the Kamala complex is also reserved for Maryan. In the all important Sathyam complex, Maryan gets the second biggest screen, Santham, as Singam 2 is still rock-steady in the biggest screen.    Mayajaal will be screening about 25 to 40 shows of Maryan this weekend based on the demand from the public. Maryan will be the first choice movie of the week in other multiplexes such as PVR, Fame, Inox, AGS and Abirami, with plenty of special shows planned.   The Auro 3D version of the movie will be screened in very limited shows across a few screens in Chennai city such as 6 Degrees, Mayajaal and Sundar.    In all, Maryan looks set for a good opening this weekend if the all important word-of-mouth from the masses is positive.</div>

According to the organization, the trailer of Madras Café had portrayed LTTE in a bad angle. Director /actor Seeman who is heading Naam Thamizhar says that he would like to see the film to understand if LTTE cadets are shown as terrorists.

Did Sarath replace Suriya in Dhruva Natchathiram?

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Since the past few days, the online space has been buzzing about Sarath Kumar doing an important role in Gautham Menon's Dhruva Natchathiram. A few even went as far as to say that Sarath Kumar is actually taking Suriya's place as the male lead, following a delay in the film's take-off due to rumored creative differences between Suriya and Gautham.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We contacted Gautham today to directly clarify these talks. All that the director said was "Please wait for a few more days. I would be giving out all the information that you need, officially"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ace director was committal about neither Sarath Kumar's presence in Dhruva Natchathiram nor Suriya's participation in the same. Guess, we have to wait for the director to let the cat out of the bag, even as the mystery surrounding Dhruva Natchathiram continues to soar high.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the meantime, other reliable sources have confirmed to us that Sarath Kumar and Gautham had in fact met on a story discussion and if at all Sarath was to do the Gautham's project, his Aei 2 with director Venkatesh, where the actor is enacting four roles, will be pushed by a few months.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Ajith's untitled film with Siruthai Siva has been confirmed to release for Pongal 2014, according to a press release from Vijaya Productions, the producers. This movie has been filmed at a really rapid pace and already 50 % of the movie has been canned. The producers are mighty pleased with the professionalism of the team.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Two songs were recently shot in Switzerland amid tough weather conditions and Ajith's co-operation has come in for much praise from the unit. Tamannah was also part of the shoots of these songs, composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Other than this, Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh has been host to a major part of the film's shoots till now.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ajith's onscreen demeanor in this film will appeal to the rural masses, aver the producers and in all likelihood, it's going to be a Thala Pongal treat for the legions of Ajith fanatics. The other members in the cast include Santhanam, Bala, Vidharth, Munish, Suhail, Ramesh Kanna, Appukutty, Nadodigal Abhinaya, Manochithra, Suza Kumar, Elavarasu, Mayilsami, Periyardasan, Devadharshini, Vidhyulekha Raman, Crane Manohar and Pradeep Rawat</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The technical crew of the film is as follows - Vetry is the cinematographer, Milan is the art director, Kasi Viswanathan is the editor, Selva is the stunt master and Dinesh is the choreographer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It must be noted that Vijay's Jilla is also targeting a Pongal 2014 release and if this materializes, we will be having a Thala - Thalapathy clash at the box-office after many years. The last time that Ajith and Vijay released their movies on the same day, was way back for Pongal 2007. So, will history repeat itself?</div></div>
