Kuselan – Judas Rajinikanth Spits on Tamil Movie Fans
Sitting in the U.S. it’s hard to definitively say how Kamal Haasan’s crappy freakshow Dasavatharam is faring at the box office.
But news reports trickling in from India suggest that Dasavatharam is not doing well at the box office. If that is indeed the case, we would not be surprised because the movie is a pathetic fiasco from the so-called Ulaganayagan (Universal Hero).
Ha ha, if Kamal Haasan is Ulaganayagan, then we are Alexander the Great.
A report from Indiatimes (part of the Times of India group) says that the movie has not done well at the box office.
Here’s an excerpt from the IndiaTimes Report:
Yes, the hype, hoopla and the billions spent on it have not been able to save Kamal Haasan’s magnum opus Dasavatharam from sinking at the box office …. Dasavatharam has not been able to hold up interest levels over the weekend.
Times of India’s Indiatimes is not the only one Indian media outlet to comment on Dasavatharam’s poor performance at the box office.
Other credible Indian reports like DNA (Friday, June 20, 2008 23:59 IST) also make a similar point:
Kamal Haasan’s Dasavatharam may not have done too well as far as box-office collections are concerned.

I have changed the comparison matrix and added clickable links for Dasavatharam too.
Sivaji has won handsomely in Chennai, Malaysia and UK.
Chennai -
Sivaji 10.91 crores in 9 weeks Vs. Dasavatharam 10.79 in 11 weeks
UK –
Sivaji 3.26+ crores Vs. Dasa’s 2.18 Crores
Malaysia –
Sivaji 11+ crores Vs. Dasa’s 7+ Crores
If you want to give wallposters as proof.. here you go..
Sivaji completed 100 days in 4 Madurai theaters
http://rajinifans.com/boxoffice/images/sivaji_100_tn.jpg
You are saying that Dasa is already down to 3 in 80 days..
And stop attributing wrong statements to me. I never said that Kuselan and Muniyandi are bigger hits than Dasavatharam. Neither did I say Sivaji IS(i used “could have”) a hit in AP. Either you are a cheat or your reading comprehension in incomprehensibly bad.
what a comedy the links you were given are completely wrong and lie.i am just living near to jaya theatre in madurai it ran only 60 days in jaya theatre.in guru it ran 100 days.in natarj it ran 100 days.in kalaivano too it ran only 70 days.say this type of lies to anybody who is not living in madurai.ok by the i asked you to give 13th weekend results of sivaji from behindwoods.
gandhiji as far you say sivaji is bigger in cnai,malysia,uk.but das is bigger in andhra,kerela,rest of tamilnadu,karnataka and in usa and uae.
hi gandhiji.ha ha all the sources you have given are from boxoffice mojo and behindwoods.when the same websites said.there is 8mn$ difference between dasa and sivaji you have not accepted that
moreover in uk boxoffice dasa collection you are given are for july18-20 and for sivaji you have given for august 28-30.how can you compare some 10th week and 5 th week collections.
it is the same case for malaysia box office too.
it is clear in chennai sivaji has grossed more .in malaysia and uk .these are not reliable since it is from mojo.that too you have given different week collections for sivaji and dasa.
ok you want July 20 Malaysia Stats of Sivaji..
here you go..
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/intl/malaysia/?yr=2007&wk=29&p=.htm
Still over 10 crores.. much bigger than Dasavatharam.
UK Source is not boxofficemojo.. it is boxoffice hunguma..
Provide numbers from andhra,kerala,rest of tamilnadu,karnataka and in usa and uae.. I’ll accept.. until then.. I’LL IGNORE YOU
Sivaji has won handsomely in Chennai, Malaysia and UK.

Remember Dilip.. I am as jobless as you.. I can write bold letters.
SI, sorry for wasting your bandwidth
Gandhiji as you claim sivaji may be bigger hit in Chennai, Malaysia and uk. but dasa is bigger in Andhra, kerela, rest of Tamil nadu, Karnataka ,usa and uae.
And then what a comedy the links you were given are completely wrong and lie. I am just living near to jaya theater in Madurai it ran only 60 days in jaya theatre. in guru it ran 100 days, in nataraj it ran 100 days, in kalaivani it ran only 70 days. say this type of lies to anybody who is not living in Madurai. in madurai it ran 100days only in 2 theater guru and nataraj. ok by the by I asked you to give 13th weekend results of sivaji from behind woods.
hi Gandhiji. ha ha all the sources you have given are from box-office mojo and behind woods. when the same websites said there is 8mn$ difference between dasa and sivaji you have not accepted that. but it is clear that in Chennai sivaji has grossed more ,for Malaysia and uk .these are not reliable sources since it is from mojo. that too you have given different weekend collections for sivaji and dasa.
For dasa collections in the link you have given it is not possible to go to next week to see how it fared in subsequent weeks.

STOP posting the same comments again and again. You’ve already posted the above comment previously.
gandhiji boxoffice mojo is a right source.it has shown that after 3 weeks,dasa collected 14mn$.ya beause it released in more no of screens than sivaji in usa and gulf countries.dasa released with 190 prints in overseas.
in cnai sivaji won the battle,in all other places dasa won.
see the source to prove that dasa is bigger in uae and andhra.

see in usa too it was a bigger hit than sivaji.
http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14698751&cid=2363
you have used behindwoods as a source to give collections of sivaji so it is reliable seee behindwoods said that dasa is a bigger hit than sivaji.
http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/jun-08-04/dasavatharam-sivaji-30-06-08.html
nope.. not good enough.. old and stale. give me individual collection proofs for Madurai, AP, UAE, USA and Kerala. Don’t worry, I’ll pray that Marmayogi will be good enough to compete with Sivaji.
i have never seen a ridiculous website like this. i dont know how are they saying dasavataram is a flop.it became second movie in history of indian cinema to gross 150cr.
ok if at all this ridiculous site is raising only question and not declaring dasa as a flop.how can they write a statement like this”But news reports trickling in from India suggest that Dasavatharam is not doing well at the box office. If that is indeed the case, we would not be surprised ” without any proper source. hi mentals go back to asylum.

Are you a complete schmuck?
Right below the sentence you quote from our post, we provided a source from Indiatimes (part of the Times of India group) along with a hyperlink to a video.
Dasavatharam (#9) spluttering on fumes.. This weekend collections has fallen behind Subramaniyapuram, which collected Rs. 1,67,555
No. Weeks Completed: 12
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 30
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 30 %
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,60,581
Total collections in Chennai by end of the thirteenth weekend: Rs. 10.85 Crore
Looks like it will end up with 11 Crores in Chennai.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other behindwoods chennai reports for Sivaji. I have mailed them to send me some info.. but I don’t have much hopes that I’ll get back anything.
I have mailed Jayavel Murugan’s wife, for getting numbers for Dasavatharam.. their website is narmadha.com. They also have a phone number listed there.. but if I called them it would be bordering on harassment, i think..
they are probably mourning the Kuselan losses now.
Sivaji ran for 70 days in the bay area.. it was a record then .. not sure if Dasa beat it. According to an online source, Dasa only managed 5 weeks there.
u need brain to understand A class movies, but not for entertainers!!!!!!!!!!! and u know y chennai and malaysia’s collection is high ????? because the distribution of sivaji in these two places and japan is done by rajini and the distribution profit is his salary, dont compare anyone else’s movie with kamal hassan’s because he is farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now where did this baboon spring from?
The reports of Dasa’s death have been greatly exaggerated (by me).
No. Weeks Completed: 13
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 33
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 32 %
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,53,271
Total collections in Chennai by end of the fourteenth weekend: Rs. 10.88 Crore
Dasa has finally matched Sivaji’s 9 week collections in Chennai.
No. Weeks Completed: 14
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 23
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 35 %
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 1,16,740

Dasavatharam disappeared from the top 10 after completing 100 days. Good feat. Kamal’s extraordinary (waste of) effort paid off.
