The
Verdict
Khaidi's
AP/TS
theatrical
rights
were
valued
at
Rs
3.5
crore,
which
means
that
it
has
recovered
nearly
209
per
cent
of
the
investment
and
proved
to
be
a
'Blockbuster'.
He's
Back!
Karthi's
previous
outing
Dev
had
tanked
at
the
AP/TS
box
office,
collecting
a
share
of
around
Rs
2
crore
and
recovering
merely
35
per
cent
of
the
initial
investment.
With
Khaidi,
the
actor
has
bounced
back
in
style
and
proved
that
he
is
a
force
to
be
reckoned.
Healthy
WOM
Did
The
Trick
Khaidi
impressed
most
critics
with
its
raw
presentation
and
gripping
plot.
Karthi's
performance
too
struck
a
chord,
adding
a
new
dimension
to
the
buzz
surrounding
the
film.
As
such,
the
WOM
was
positive
and
this
worked
in
its
favour,
ensuring
a
fairly
long
run.
The
Road
Ahead...
With
the
action-thriller
in
the
past,
Karthi
is
set
to
turn
his
attention
to
the
Kollywood
biggie
Ponniyin
Selvan,
directed
by
Mani
Ratnam.
The
magnum
opus,
based
on
the
critically
acclaimed
novel
of
the
same
name,
features
Vikram
and
Jayam
Ravi
as
the
parallel
leads.
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
Keerthy
Suresh
and
Amala
Paul
too
are
a
part
of
the
cast.
On
the
other
hand,
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
is
working
on
Vijay's
next,
being
referred
to
as
Thalapathy
64.
