The big question on most Tamil movie lovers’ minds must surely be whether Ajith’s Billa is a Flop, Ultimate Flop or a Super Hit at the box office.
There has been a lot of comparison between the new Billa and Rajnikant’s mega hit Sivaji with some over-enthusiastic folks erroneously claiming that Billa made Rs 25 crore (about $6.25 million) in just the first five days. What baloney!
The skeptics may question whether Billa has lived up to its hype.
Compared to Sivaji, we just did not witness the same high enthusiasm-level for Billa inside the movie hall even on the first day before, during or after the movie.
There’s also not the same all-round buzz about Ajith’s Billa that one noticed with Sivaji.
But that’s no surprise. After all, Ajith is just a poor man’s Rajnikant. You can’t compare the glorious Sun to a Philips 40w bulb.
Ajith lacks the stature, skills and charisma of Tamil Nadu’s sole superstar – Rajnikant.
What Shahrukh Khan is to Bollywood, Rajnikant is to Tamil movies after multiplying by 100.
Besides the enthusiasm and buzz issues around Billa, other disturbing questions crop up.
New Jersey, New York and Virginia have a fairly large Tamil population. So, why is Billa not running in the New Jersey/New York or Virginia Indian pockets anymore?
Surely, if Billa had proved popular with audiences wouldn’t the movie have run longer at these theaters just like in the Bay Area?
We have seen some comments on Vijay fans’ sites that Billa is a flop. But can we give credence to such reports? Probably not.
In any case, Ajith’s fans would certainly describe the new Billa as a phenomenal success while fans of rival actors like Vijay and Surya would tend to downplay its performance at the box office.
Of course, if Billa does turn out to be a flop or even an ultimate flop we won’t be surprised. And much of the blame would and should rest at Ajith’s feet for doing such a bloody awful job in Billa.
Even after acting in nearly four dozen movies, Ajith Kumar seems to struggle to come to grips with the basics of acting.
We thought the young boy Darsheel Safary, who played a dyslectic kid in Aamir Khan’s new movie Taare Zameen Par, did a far superior job than Ajith by orders of magnitude.
Of course, the 11-year-old kid must have worked much harder than the 36-year-old Ajith.
Besides Ajith’s ham-handed attempts at acting, the new Billa also suffers from a poor screenplay and has the ugly feel of a rush job not a slick job.
Hey, notwithstanding all its weaknesses Ajith’s Billa may even turn out to be a super hit. Who knows.
Like millions of Tamil movie fans, we would love to know the real fate of Billa at the box office.
Of course, in the absence of independent and reliable third party box office data it’s difficult for us to conclusively answer the question – whether Billa is a Flop, Ultimate Flop or a Super Hit at the box office.Â
Ultimately we suppose only the distributors would have the hard data on the fate of Billa and its talentless Ultimate Star Ajith.
Good. Ajith can now afford to hire a good acting teacher.

Hai! REKHA,
I don’t know why are you asking proof for the HIT film BILLA.
Whatever you say is ok. I accept it . But, You must say it when you are in india. In Tamilnadu, ONE who stands with utmost courage & self confidence is Actor Ajith only bcoz he is the person who faced many problem in his carrier. Even VIJAY, VIKRAM, SURYA & other actors are telling that he is really a PHOENIX AS HE HAD FACED MANY UPS & DOWNS THAN OTHERS. Please Have a look at his filmography & biography before writing reviews for his film.
I request you to STOP your argument regarding his acting ability.
Hai Dilip!
You are telling that AJITH NEED TO AFFORD A GOOD ACTING TEACHER. It’s really rubbish. Even you had forgotten that he has received 4 filmfare awards and many other prestigeous awards in his acting carrier.So,I request you not to write whatever you think for just an argument.

If, as you suggest, personal problems faced by stars are the yardstick for judging their performances, then the Slumdog kids are worthy of the highest adulation.
Personal details like whether someone was driving an auto-rickshaw, matu-vandi, kudre-vandi or a Formula car earlier is irrelevant to his performance in movies.
The odd capitalizations (and too much Ajith-loving) suggest that manishankar is bimmer’s new avatar.
One more Ajith woe..
There is a rumor that Ajith lost his ability to make babies.. poor chap.

Not true…we liked Bollywood films like Kaminey, Dharam, Blue Umbrella, Dev D et al.
2. You write: i know tats y u bark like him u fit for nothing fellow!!
Obviously, you forgot your anti-Rabies injection today.
3. You write: u r an ardent fan of vijay and i know tats y u bark like him u fit for nothing fellow!!
Here, read the reviews of Villu, Kuruvi, Azhagiya Tamil Magan et al.
Now, those reviews should tell you whose ‘fan’ we are.
4. You write: u really dont have any rights to comment abt billa.ajith is a big superstar in tamilnadu.
BTW, when do you think Ajith will learn the basics of acting?
Here’s the Aegan Review. Enjoy.
