Kamal looking for an Oscar
by SP on Feb 05, 2013 02:19 PM  | Hide replies

The reason Kamal hassan did Vishwaroopam is to show the taliban as bad and the Americans as good to please them in real life so that they fetch him an oscar or atleast nominate him/his film. Rahman already has one

Vishwaroopam 1st day collection 1.89 crore(1st week end 7.75cr) and david 1st day collection 74 lakhs(1st weekend 2.5cr) but rediff mentioned Vishwaroopam has got a below average opening and david with average opening..what to say about these idiots..Vishwaroopam 7.75 Cr in hindi is highest by south indian star beating rajnikanth robot..for tamil stars TN is the 1st big market,followed by andhra and overseas..Vishwaroopam in telugu collected 30Cr so far,KL and KA-> 12 cr so far.UK,US and canada ->15cr so far.
Hindi it will end up to 15cr by this week-end which is a bonus and a hit if not superhit/BB for south indian actors.can anyone tell me any hindi actor dubbed movies or hindi version collected more than 4 cr in TN.ra-one after so much hype not even crossed 2 cr in TN..understand the trade nuances rediff idiots..
Mark my word "In TN the first 4 days collections for Vishwaroopam will not be less than 33cr".

the figures you mention are just nett figures... which are going straight into Kamal's pocket after the other expenses mind you...

Keep watching the box office roaring in TN box office and the collections the movie will make...

Vishwaroop Review
by Abstract baba on Feb 05, 2013 01:30 PM  | Hide replies

Hindi versionDeccan Herald gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, saying "Vishwaroop is a helluva entertainer" and pointed out "The action sequences are, at last, on a par with Hollywood."[110] LiveMint reviewed the Hindi version 'Vishwaroop' and stated that the film is a showcase for Haasan’s wide-ranging skills with both microwaves and machine guns.[111] Radhika Rajamani of Rediff gave 3 out of 5 stars and stated, "Vishwaroopam undoubtedly rests on Kamal Haasan, who is brilliant."[97] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave Vishwaroop 3 out of 5 stars and stated that the film is a Kamal Haasan show all the way. It has an interesting premise, superb combat scenes and Kamal Haasan's bravura act as its three aces. But a stretched second hour and far from dramatic finale dilute the impact. Yet, all said and done, those with an appetite for well-made thrillers might relish this effort![112][113] Zee News gave 3.5 out of 5 to Vishwaroop and stated that Kamal Haasan, Rahul Bose dazzle in spy-thriller.[114] Mohar Basu of Koimoi gave 3.5 out of 5 and stated that Vishwaroop is a sheer treat for its power packed action sequences which finally match up to Hollywood’s standards. Technically it is a brilliant film which walks us through many sensitive and pertinent issues without passing a judgment.[115] India Today gave 2.5 stars and stated that Vishwaroop lacks the energy and imagination that one looks for in a good action flick.[116] Rajeev M

Shameless rediff does it again
by Hariharasudhan T on Feb 05, 2013 01:27 PM

Do you even follow the tweets of the distributor of Vishwaroop? Follow Harsh Jain's updates on VR box office. Even Taran Adarsh has reported good about VR box office.

It is David that is a flop.

Wrong information
by vijay karthik on Feb 05, 2013 01:09 PM  | Hide replies

Vishwaroop has made about 8 crores now in 4 days. Expected to reach 20-25 crores in the long run. Satellite rights will add another 7-8. So just like Robot it will reach or cross 40 crores in Hindi. But Robot was twice as expensive as Vishwaroopam (165 crore). So we can easily say that Vishwaroopam is the biggest hit for any South Star in Hindi. This has been confirmed by Girish Johar, Balaji Films, distributor of Vishwaroopam in the north.

But, I also did read somewhere else that Vishwaroop raked in more than Robot the opening weekend in the North.

PS: From my pen name you can easily spot that I am not a Kamal Fan. So, I am not blind.

Hey moron. It is official news confirmed by the distributor himself.

And by the way, Vishwaroop is not a dubbed film. It is a bilingual. The dubbing was done only for the telugu version.
