Is love just a never ending dream....?
All screens lead to Arrambam
Multiplexes and single-screen theatres across the State are
looking to make a killing this Deepavali with Ajith’s
Arrambam. Armed with loads of hype and a huge cast that
includes Nayanthara, Arya, Rana Daggubati and Taapsee
Pannu, quite a few multiplexes in the city have planned to
pull out all other movies to accomodate Arrambam, from
October 31. Ironically, theatre owners do not seem
particularly worried that it may be an overkill because the
shows are already sold out.
Sample a few of these numbers on theatre websites –
Abirami Cinemas has listed as many as 16 shows daily,
while the AGS group (with two multiplexes in Navalur and
Villivakkam) has listed a whopping 36 shows a day. With
multiplexes going all out to cash in on the surge following
an Ajith release, single screens will not think twice about
following suit. Even theatres like Woodlands and Rohini
have opted to screen Arrambam on extra screens at least
over the weekend. And needless to say, all show timings
are highlighted in red, indicating that they’re SOLD OUT.
There have also been rumours flying around about special
shows being screened from 5 am onward, but the
distributors are mum on that front, “Technically it is against
the rules, but we have heard that the distributors tried to
speak with the authorities to see if they could allow special
screenings on the days leading up to Deepavali (November
2) alone. We are hoping it will fall through,” said a source
at the Film Chamber.
What is astonishing is that all this hype has developed
despite the damp squib that Ajith’s last release – Billa II,
turned out to be. “Thala works magic only during
Deepavali. It worked for Attakasam and Mankatha and it
will work for Arrambam too,” said Mani Vasagam, the
moderator of an online fan community for Ajith.
Another major reason for the hype is because the actor,
popularly called Thala by his fans, is teaming up with
filmmaker Vishnuvardhan again – the man who resurrected
his flagging career with the slickly rebooted Billa (2007).
With brisk booking in the UK, US and Middle East, the
distributors have indicated that Arrambam is slated to
release on 700+ screens in the South. Trade analysts have
remained cautious and said that anything over 450-500
screens could not be possible in a State that has only 976
theatres.
Though Vishal’s Paandiyanaadu and Karthi’s All in All
Azhagu Raja are believed to be in the Deepavali fray
alongside Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 3, it looks like theatres
this weekend have been taken over by Thala fans.

ARRAMBAM MOVIE RELEASE EXPECTATION
Ajith garners an enviable opening every
single time and with Diwali around the
corner, his Arrambam has done insanely
well in advance ticket bookings over the
opening weekend. With the successful team
of Vishnuvardhan and Ajith at the helm of
its affairs, Arrambam is every Ajith fan’s
dream. If you are still looking for
convincing reasons to catch up on
Arrambam and celebrate Diwali, we got
some insiders associated with the movie to
talk about it. Here’s what they have to say.
“If you ask me five reasons to watch the film, One, two
and three would be Ajith, four would be Arya and the last
one would be my entire cast and crew. Zero being the first
of the numbers, I’d want that spot,” laughs director
Vishnuvardhan. “If you want to have a blast, Arrambam is
your answer. We have done everything in our power to
entertain you and I have to thank my team for that. They
are the best!” concludes the proud director.
One of the renowned names associated with Arrambam is
the national award winning art director Ilayaraja, who
cannot stop gushing about the collaborative atmosphere in
Arrambam sets. “It is so amazing to see so many big stars
working together in a single film. It is a very healthy sight
too. Every character has been performed by a big name,
no matter how big their roles are,” says Ilayaraja.
As if it even needs reassurance, Ilayaraja promises, “The
film has some stunning locations. The team has shot
scenes in some picturesque locales around India and
around the globe.” He also goes on to say “Arrambam is a
global project.”
On the technical aspects of the film, Ilayaraja has this to
say: “I generally use very less colors. But in this project I
have used it graciously. The songs will be highly chromatic.
Om Prakash has done a brilliant job with the camera.”
Ilayaraja promises that “you’ll not feel bored during the run
of the film,” also adding that “Arya and Taapsee’s
characters will stand out and keep lingering in the minds.”
Om Prakash’s cinematography is renowned for setting the
mood and his work in Arrambam is highly anticipated. He
claims, “Vishnuvardhan is the biggest highlight of the film.
He is at his best, and everyone knows his style, he is a
perfectionist by nature.”
Letting in on some insider details, Prakash confesses, “We
get a judgment while shooting a film. Even without the
dialogues, BGM, the first out from the camera was very
interesting.” About the neatly fleshed out characters of the
film, he maintains that “everyone in the film has meaty
characters. A super stylish Ajith, Arya and Taapsee’s
romance will be heartwarming and cute. Nayan will look
more stunning than she was in Billa.”
He also states, “We have shot in extreme conditions- some
scenes during snowfall and some in hot and sunny
conditions. These changes are the major contributors to the
film’s hues.” Besides, according to Prakash, there are “No
unnecessary song sequences in the film. Vishnuvardhan
was particular about this. It’s natural that people get bored
during song sequences. We have made sure that they
don’t leave their seats during songs.”
About the car accident video that went viral on YouTube,
Prakash has this to say: “that was different while shooting.
The car was moving at a speed of 100 km/h. Ajith jumped
and got his leg stuck under the wheel, but he didn’t show
his pain until the shot was completed. Moment after
director said OK, he collapsed.”
Prakash also says that some scenes are ‘must watch’ in
the movie. “There’s a boat chase, an amazing sequence,
even Hollywood stunt choreographer Lee Whittaker was
stunned by Ajith’s capability and commitment. It was a
risky sequence, shot in a sea and waves were harsh. Ajith
steered the boat beautifully. Lee offered a dupe but Ajith
wouldn’t take.”
Arrambam releases this Thursday as a prelude to the
ensuing Diwali celebrations.
