Producer of Madharaasi is asking the price of an Ajith film as they have put the collection figures to be on Amaran level or above. So how is the film ?. Telugu dubbing is on and what we hear is that the film’s strongest USP is the cute chemistry between Sivakarthikeyan who aces the love genre, and Rukmini Vasanth who does it like nobody else right now. A kind of chemistry that SK and Sai Pallavi had in Amaran.
Sure the
action sequences and seeing SK in a “mass orientated role” is exciting and all,
but this chemistry that has been lost in most of the major films released ,
that our sources found in this ARM
directorial. The story of the film is about a
rugged manpower agent who sizes up against a North Indian mafia in Tamil Nadu.
Sources say
that this pair is genuinely great and gives a warm feeling judging by the
scenes . They suit each other really well, and suit each other’s established
mannerisms.Truly looking to see what ARM did with the two ( like he did with
Suriya and Asin in Ghajini), and Anirudh
delivered a nice love track for them.
:ets take at
what our Distributors tells about Madharaasi sale; Zee5 ahs locked the OTT.
Tamil Nadu
SK movies
generally goes around 35 to 45 cr which is also his remuneration.
Amaran
collected 158 cr gross which is around 82 cr share .
Now makers
are asking 72 cr from distributors which is almost twice the previous.
Value.
According to
it should be 55 cr and may be 60 cr Max
If it is 72
cr share then movie needs to gross 140 cr or over which only Ajith, Rajini,
Vijay movies do with a hit talk . Kamal and SK had one movie each and Baahubali
being excepriom.
I think 55
cr to 60 cr will have 105 cr to 115 cr target to break even which will be
ideal.
KARNATAKA
SK movies
goes for 4–5 cr Max but Amaran did 25 cr gross. Makers are asking 10 cr which
seems too much
I think 7 to
8 cr would be apt need 15-17 cr for breakeven.
KERALA
SK movies
goes for 2–4 cr and Amaran collected 20 cr . So makers are asking 7 cr which
needs 16 cr to break even.
Telugu
states
Generally
7-10 cr but Amaran did 50 cr gross so makers are now 16 cr to 20 cr meaning 30
cr to 35 cr to break even .
Hindi it did
around 5 cr they are not bothered .
Amaran was
sold for 70 cr and made 173 cr share .
Thats
whooping 103 cr profit majority of which went to distributors.
Now new
producer think SK Range increases to Tier 1 level
Maker is
asking 120 cr and he promised SK assured Salary of 70 cr.
Breakeven
targets from 205 cr to 220 cr .
Ie something
which Ajith movies too dont ask .
Distributors
all together are ready to offer 90 to 100 cr.
Lets see
also there is low buzz on this one . AR Murugadoss has not been in great form.
