A Successful Entertainer.

On 23rd July Chandramukhi will complete 100 days which is a rare thing in the current cinema trend. Reasons for the current trend are pirated CDs, Mega Serials, Cost of tickets, maintenance of cinema theatres, numerous recreation that has mush-roomed in the city. But most of his movies are beyond all those things. His movie is like a theme park. Whenever his movie is released, it becomes one of the options for the family as a weekend recreation. His idea is to entertain people without vulgarity and that is why he has wide range of audiences.

Chandramukhi's achievement :

1. First movie to complete 100 days in Mayajaal.
2. Doing a business of 100 crores.
3. First movie to be dubbed in Zulu (Lance Klusener's mother tongue) and Afrikaans (South Africa's main language)
4. Doing very well in Kerala, a place from where Chandrmukhi's knot is taken from the movie Manichitrathazhu, and dislodged Mohanlal's latest movie.
5. Doing very well in Andra and going to complete 100 days in 10 theaters. Many big Telugu movies including Chiru's movie was released along with Chandramukhi. But all bite the dust except Chandramukhi.
6. Generally in US, Indian movies will be screened for 2 weeks that too only one show during weekdays and 4 shows during weekends. But CM was screened for 5 weeks with 5 shows a day.
7. Rajni's salary for this movie is 20 crores and thus making him as the highest paid actor in India again.
8. Abirami theater alone will get 1 crore.
9. Vetri theatre in Chrompet, a suburb of Chennai which is said to have paid Rs 20 Lakhs MG, and according to trade sources the theatre recovered the amount in five days and thereby created a new record. The rumor mill has it that Vetri theatre had collected Rs 7, 62,000 gross on the first day making it “unofficially” the highest collection from a single screen for a day in India! Remember, this can happen only with a Rajnikanth film! He is the only superstar after the late MGR who can entice an ordinary movie going public to part with their hard earned money for three hours of pure fantasy.
10. After Baba debacle, he silenced all his detractors inside and outside film industry through CM.
11. Surely Industry will have lucrative year just because of CM as there is no big budget movie in the next 7 months (There is no chance of any big debacle this year). This happened 7 years before on 1998 when 'Padayappa' was release. That is why Tamil Film Industry is considered as one man industry.
12. Generally Shahrukh Khan (considered as the most popular Indian actor) movies has done a business of 52 crores with 20 crores as cost of production (Kal Ho Na Ho and Main Hoon Na). CM, being a regional movie is doing a business of 100 crores with 5 crores + Rajni's salary as cost of production.
13. Overseas rights will be sold for 5 crores for SRK's movie while for Rajni it went up to 22 crores.
14. But the biggest achievement of CM is bringing family audiences, female audience who were glued to their TV sets watching 'Metti Oli' and children to the theaters.
