The
dashing
Jayam
Ravi
is
quite
a
popular
name
in
the
Tamil
film
industry.
He
enjoys
a
decent
fan
following
because
of
his
good
looks,
humble
nature
and
sincere
performances.
Of
late,
he
has
been
experimenting
with
his
on-screen
image
and
this
has
helped
him
grow
as
a
performer.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
film
Tik
Tik
Tik
which
hit
the
screens
on
Friday
(June
22,
2018)
much
to
the
delight
of
his
fans.
The
film
is
touted
to
be
a
space-thriller
and
has
been
directed
by
Shakti
Soundar
Rajan.
Shot
against
a
relatively
high
budget,
Tik
Tik
Tik
also
features
Jayam
Ravi's
son
Aarav
and
upcoming
actress
Nivetha
Pethuraj
in
key
roles.
Prior
to
its
release,
the
director
had
said
that
it
does
not
feature
a
romantic
track
or
any
other
commercial
elements.
"There's
no
romance
in
the
film,
we
didn't
need
a
dance
master
either.
Our
focus
was
to
avoid
any
lagging
moments
and
present
a
clean
and
pure
single-genre
space
film," he
had
told
a
leading
daily.
Tik
Tik
Tik
managed
to
create
a
decent
amount
of
pre-release
buzz
thanks
to
its
production
values
and
the
feeling
was
that
it
would
open
on
a
decent
note
at
the
box
office.
So,
did
the
buzz
help
it
set
the
ticket
counter
on
fire?
Let
us
find
out
Day
1
Collections
Tik
Tik
Tik
opened
on
a
decent
note
at
the
Tamil
Nadu
box
office
and
collected
close
to
Rs
3
Crore
on
the
opening
day.
Did
Tik
Tik
Tik
Fare
Better
Than
Miruthan?
Jayam
Ravi
and
Shakti
Soundar
Rajan's
Miruthan
had
collected
Rs
3.81
Crore
on
its
opening
day.
The
day
1
collections
of
Tik
Tik
Tik
are
in
the
same
range.
However,
Tik
Tik
Tik's
budget
is
reportedly
higher
than
that
of
Miruthan
and
this
might
turn
out
to
be
a
cause
of
worry
for
the
makers.
Negative
WOM
Most
critics
are
of
the
opinion
that
Tik
Tik
Tik
is
an
‘unoriginal'
and
lazy
film
which
fails
to
offer
anything
new.
While
the
VFX
has
been
appreciated,
the
plot
has
received
a
thumbs
down.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
negative.
The
Way
Ahead
Being
the
only
big
Tamil
film
to
hit
the
screens
On
Friday,
Tik
Tik
Tik
is
likely
to
have
a
free
run
over
the
weekend.
As
such,
it
will
rake
in
the
moolah
on
Saturday
and
Sunday.
That
said
and
done,
the
negative
WOM
might
catch
up
with
it
on
Monday
and
dampen
its
commercial
prospects.
All
in
all,
the
next
few
days
are
likely
to
determine
its
fate.
