Vishal's
Paayum
Puli
released
yesterday
after
facing
a
last
minute
demurral
from
some
theatre
owners.
As
it
turned
out,
the
protest
that
created
a
lot
of
fuss,
helped
the
movie
to
earn
itself
an
unintentional
promotion
at
the
right
moment
which
might
reflect
in
the
box
office
collection
of
Paayum
Puli
by
the
end
of
its
first
weekend.
So
will
Paayum
Puli
be
a
success
at
the
box
office?
Well,
it
might
be
a
moderate
success
as
the
movie
has
garnered
average
reviews
from
critics
and
movie
goers.
But
trade
analysts
think
otherwise
as
they
have
predicted
that
the
movie
might
have
enough
in
it
to
be
more
than
just
a
mediocre
success
at
the
box
office.
Suggesting
that
the
film
might
do
really
well
at
B
and
C
centres
for
its
good
stunt
sequences
and
intense
second
half,
experts
have
also
revealed
that
the
movie's
performance
at
A
centres
is
something
that
might
bother
its
producers.
With
tough
competition
from
Jayam
Ravi's
Thani
Oruvan
and
all
the
other
upcoming
films
that
will
be
released
in
the
consecutive
weeks,
Paayum
Puli's
chances
at
the
box
office
looks
a
touch
fragile
at
the
moment
even
after
considering
all
the
valuable
inputs
from
trade
experts.
Check

below

much

its
