Box Office Flash 3 - Sivaji storm continues at boxoffice & The Boss

Date : 22/06/07 

It's almost one week since the boss hit the screens and still in most of the theatres the boss is continuously rocking. For eg in Pollachi, the total population would be around somewhere 1.5 lakhs.

A simple arithmatic to understand the Power of Boss

In that small town, Sivaji is released in three theatres and you know, the combined capacity of these theatres are 2500 seats. We heard that the occupancy is nearly 90-95 in weekdays from monday. This is called Phenomenon. By end of the two weeks almost whole Pollachi would have seen the Boss. 2500 x 4 shows = 10,000 seats per day.  10k and 14 = 140000. Like this in many areas of tamil nadu the film is released in maximum theatres.

Ok...let's come to matter.

Sivaji rocking in Surat

Our group member Mr.Balamurugan called us and said that Sivaji is rocking in Surat too and we requested him whether he could arrange photographs of the same. He spoke to Mr.P.Selvam, who is working in Surat and immediately arranged the pics for ur delight. kindly check those pics in the following link.

National channels promotion vs AVM

And we were shocked to see PTB's message on promotion. The National channels' coverage on Sivaji release is not done by AVM or insisted by them. AVM surely didn't indulge in this kind of promotion. (We heard that AVM  even didn't arrange a tea-snacks party for press in this whole 2 years of making Sivaji and how you expect that they will do this?)

Many national channels they themselves arranged for the release special coverage after seeing the terrific and historical advance booking.  And you know, the trp (viewership) rate was record high for those channels when they telecasted the advance booking carnival. The viewership was high even in North India. So, they themselves arranged for the same. Please roll back your words.  Members please take care while posting this kind of information which adulterates the promo.
