There's
no
denying
that
2018
was
a
good
year
for
actress
Amala
Paul.
The
young
lady
received
some
good
news
when
Ratsasan
opened
to
a
good
response
at
the
box
office
and
exceeded
expectations.
The
film,
featuring
her
as
the
leading
lady
opposite
Vishnu
Vishal,
received
rave
reviews
with
most
fans
calling
it
one
of
the
best
movies
of
the
year.
At
present,
Amala
is
in
the
limelight
due
to
Aadai,
which
hit
screens
Friday
(July
19,
2019).
The
film,
featuring
her
in
a
bold
avatar,
is
doing
decent
business
at
the
box
office.
5-Day
Collections
According
to
latest
trade
estimates,
Aadai
has
managed
to
collect
Rs
35
lakh
at
the
Chennai
box
office
in
four
days,
which
is
a
decent
figure
considering
that
it
is
an
'A'
rated
movie.
It
did
reasonably
well
on
Monday
too
and
raked
in
a
decent
number.
Its
five-day
gross
is
likely
to
be
around
Rs
45
lakh.
Not
A
Smooth
Release
Aadai
did
not
have
a
smooth
release
due
to
a
variety
of
reasons.
Its
morning
shows
were
cancelled
due
to
financial
issues
and
difficulties
in
getting
the
KDM.
The
general
feeling
is
that
the
collections
would
have
been
higher
had
these
issues
not
cropped
up.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
Most
critics
opined
that
Aadai
is
an
interesting
attempt
at
storytelling
that
does
not
live
up
to
its
full
potential.
However,
almost
everyone
has
praised
Amala's
performance
and
described
it
as
the
heart
and
soul
of
Aadai.
All
in
all,
the
WOM
is
mixed,
which
might
have
prevented
it
from
reaching
its
full
potential
at
the
box
office.
The
Road
Ahead...
Aadai
is
likely
to
slow
down
in
the
coming
days
as
it
is
meant
for
a
limited
audience.
However,
as
the
film
features
a
bold
concept,
it
might
still
manage
to
pull
in
decent
numbers.
Vijay
Deverakonda's
Dear
Comrade,
slated
to
release
on
July
26,
2019,
too
is
likely
to
negatively
impact
Aadai,
especially
in
the
Telugu
states.

did
you
