Vijay's Thalaivaa Rocks At Bangalore Box Office
Tamil movie Thalaivaa did not release in Tamil Nadu for some reasons. But it hit the screens in other states including Karnataka and other parts of the world without any hurdle. The Kollywood movie has got a wonderful start at the Box Office. More importantly, it rocked at the Bangalore Box Office in spite of facing a tough competition from other releases.
As the movie did not release in Tamil Nadu, fans of Vijay were forced to go to other states to watch Thalaivaa. The prime destination for the people from Chennai, Hosur and border regions were Bangalore. Hence, the movie got an earth-shattering response in this part of the world. In the Garden City, the film was released in above 26 screens.
We spoke to a few fans at some theatres and multiplexes. A fan named Aditya said, "We are very disappointed because our star Vijay's Thalaivaa was not released in Tamil Nadu. I always make sure that I watch the Vijay movies on the release day. But this time, I could not see his flick on the first day. Hence, I decided to come down to Bangalore."
A fan named Ramya claims, "When I realised that Thalaivaa was not releasing in Tamil Nadu, instead of wasting time, I came to Bangalore. I had a wonderful time watching the movie here." Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
