Two
prominent
Tamil
movies
released
last
Friday
(Aug
12).
While
one
was
directed
by
Raju
Murugan
of
Cuckoo
fame,
the
other
was
helmed
by
Kumaravelan
of
Haridas
fame.
The
movies
we
are
talking
about
are
Joker
and
Wagah.
Since
both
the
films
were
directed
by
critically
acclaimed
film-makers,
expectations
were
high
among
fans
and
moviegoers.
While
Joker
received
positive
reviews
from
almost
everyone,
Vikram
Prabhu's
Wagah
was
criticized
for
its
poor
writing
and
execution.
Having
said
that,
it
is
upto
the
viewers
to
decide
the
box
office
fate
of
both
these
movies.
According
to
trade
experts
though,
Joker
has
a
better
chance
at
the
box
office
this
weekend.
It
is
said
that
the
Raju
Murugan
directorial
might
gather
an
impressive
7.5
Crores
from
Tamil
Nadu
alone
over
its
first
three
days.
Wagah,
on
the
other
hand,
might
collect
3.5
Crores
(approx)
from
the
whole
of
Tamil
Nadu,
according
to
trade
analysts.
