Probably no film's box office victory has had so many layers to it. For one, the film coming from RKFI the Kamal Haasan banner had many getting their knives out as it was more against the politician Kamal. Tthey dug deep and came out with an old video in which Sai Pallavi is seen saying that just like we see Naxalites as anti nationals, there is an another view. For the Pakistanis our Army will look like terrorists like we see them. This was enough reason to launch a hashtag to ban Sai Pallavi. How can she play wife to Indian Army Major and so we must see the film in which the heroine is Pro PAK. They might have tries hard to get some dope on Kamal bt nothing came through. Next was that shit on Sivakarthikeyan. How can this comic hero fit the role of an action hero and that too of a Indian soldier > Total miscast!.
After the release came the charge that Kamal as Producer and Udhaynidhi as Distributor had conspired to hide the Brahmin background of the hero character as it goes against Dravidianism. Not only that they highlighted the Christian background off the wife character. The film releases and gets thumbs up from all. Total silence. Now comes Kanguva release. Theatre owners refuse to take out Amaran as it is giving them big bucks and that too in third week. Here again the haters jump up. Red Giant is forcing theatres to run Amaran as it does not want Kanguva to run. Why ? Suriya is anti DMK !. Why did the theatres not come with such requests when Lubber Pandhu was running in theatres ?
Now in third week we publish the results.. 22% of theatres showing Kanguva has stopped the film even before one week and put back Kanguva. The Amaran figures show the real victory. Sai Pallavi who faced boycott call is Queen of box office. Sivakarthikeyan joins Kamal- Rajini- Vijay in 250 cr club. The public celeberation of Amaran is due on December middle after Kamal come back.Here’s the area wise Amaran collections after 3 weeks.
- Tamil Nadu: 143 Cr
- Telugu States: 41 Cr
- Kerala : 11.50 Cr
