June 14
9.00 pm was the first day first show in malaysia in 5
theatres, PJ state lotus, Colesium, Damansara cineplex
and sentul cineplex. I managed to
get tickets for the first day first show through my fren
in lotus in PJ state. Good news is, this is rajini sir's
0 tamil movie and i managed to get 100
tickets.
We all
went early, and started our coverage. I gave a
briefing to our group members who came and explained
about our group and our activity. Than with the help
of pal and yogz, we started the video coverage, We
managed to interview the public on their opinion on
sivaji and thalaivar. Annother good news, one of our
group members who took my invitaion and joined us did
have a fren who is a Rajini sir look alike. We did
invite him and he came in the baasha get up. We did a
coverage on him and the few of us including me took
photos with him.
Almost
around 9pm, trouble started. Movie reel did not
arrive from Tamil Nadu on time and movie is delayed. By
that time, the public had already known that we are from
fan club and were expecting us to
talk to the theatre people, which we did. They promised
to start the show at 9.30pm. Everyone waited and
they announced 9pm show is cancelled due
to unavoidable situation.
That is
where me and two other important members in our group
who assisted me a lot went into the office and had a
very long discussion with them. It was me, pal and yogz.
The reel only arrived at 12 midnight. We pressured them
to open their second hall and show both the 9pm and 12am
show simultaneously. At last they did. This is
when the public was seen thanking us. Its a joint effort
by me and the two others.

I went to
watch Sivaji The Boss on
Thursday (14.6.2007) at 9pm….
they open the ticket counter around
1.30pm… by 3pm..the ticket for 9pm and
12.15am show already sold out…. I queue
up nearly 40 min to get my ticket…
I reach cinema around 8.20pm to watch
9pm show… firstly they said, the show
will be late 30min, at 10pm thy said
there will be no show coz they haven’t
receive the movie reel from the
distributor….
They (management)
should not have sold tickets without
receiving all the prints from India.
… finally
after few hours, fans allowed to enter
the hall at 12.05am(15.6.2007) only for
those bought the ticket for 9pm show…
show cancelled for those bought ticket
for 12.15am show… really a bad day for
me..
Here are
the clips and some photo that I manage
to record
