Thalaivaa Vijay Sets Box Office On Fire
Illayathalapathy
Vijay
may
be
going
through
troubles
for
the
release
of
his
much-hyped
Thalaivaa
in
Tamil
Nadu,
but
his
movie
has
been
released
worldwide
with
ease.
Well,
the
Kollywood
film
has
set
the
Box
Office
on
fire.
The
star
power
of
the
actor
is
working
big
time
again
despite
the
film
getting
mixed
reviews
from
audience
and
critics.
On
the
release
day
(August
9),
Thalaivaa
got
a
thunderous
response
from
the
audience
in
Kerala.
The
film
has
collected
Rs
1.12
crore
in
the
region.
The
movie
saw
the
light
of
day
in
God's
Own
Country
in
120
theatres.
As
the
movie
was
not
released
in
Tamil
Nadu,
people
from
the
border
regions
of
the
state
(Kerala-TN)
travelled
to
the
neighbouring
state
to
watch
Vijay's
movie.
A theatre owner in Kerala said, "There were huge demands for the tickets of Thalaivaa. More than the local audience, it was fans of Illayathalapathy from Tamil Nadu who created such a massive demand for the tickets. The reason is well known; the film isn't released in its own state. It was a great day for the distributor on the release day due to this factor." Reports say that the Thalaivaa magic continued on Saturday and Sunday too.

In Karnataka too, Thalaivaa has done remarkable business. People from Chennai and Hosur travelled to Bangalore to watch the Vijay starrer movie.
Bangalore
Thalaivaa has made more than a crore in Bangalore alone in the first weekend. The film is distributed by Boopal Reddy of Aditi Brunda.
International Box Office
In the International arena, Thalaivaa has taken a super start in the UK and USA. Critic and trader Taran Adarsh confirmed the same on Twitter.

Taran Adarsh tweeted, "Tamil film #Thalaivaa has taken a super start in UK. Thu previews till Sat total: £ 82,506 [Rs 77.88 lacs]. Excellent!"
Other Countries
Early reports emerging from Malayasia, Singapore, Australia and other countries say that Thalaivaa has been overwhelmingly welcomed by audience in those countries too.
Confusions Continued...
Meanwhile, the confusion over the release of Thalaivaa in Tamil Nadu continued as the makers of the film are yet to announce the date. In fact, nobody is clear as to why the film has been stalled.
Certification Issue?
It is believed that the makers of the Thalaivaa are fighting to get clean 'U' certificate for the movie. The Regional Censor Board has given 'U/A' to the movie.
30% Tax Exemption
If the movie is given 'U' certificate, it will get the 30% tax exemption from the government. Hence, the makers of the movie are reportedly fighting to get 'U' certificate.
Chennai Express
Meanwhile, the absence of Thalaivaa has helped Hindi movie Chennai Express to get a grand opening in Tamil Nadu. The movie stars Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the leads.
Thalaivaa For Independence Day?
Thalaivaa is likely to release for Independence Day. In about 450 screens, Vijay starrer movie will be released.
Thalaivaa
The movie is produced by Chandra Prakash Jain. Thalaivaa is directed by AL Vijay. Vijay, Amala Paul, Sathyaraj and Santhanam are in the key roles.
