Ranking based on Chennai Box Office Collections from
Oct 28th 2011 to Oct 30th 2011
1.7-aum Arivu
Cast: Suriya, Shruthi Hassan
Direction: A.R.Murugadoss
Music: Harris Jeyaraj
Production: Udhayanidhi Stalin (Red Giant Movies)
Touted to be a sci-fi thriller, 7aum Arivu opened with huge expectations quite unseen for any movie in recent times. Suriya is paired with Shruti who is making her Tamil debut. Murugadoss wields the baton while Harris scores for the movie.
Trade Talk:
Although the movie received a phenomenal opening, thanks to the stupendous advance booking record, sustaining the opening mayhem depends solely on the movie’s performance in the coming weeks.
Public Talk:
It is a mix bag response for 7aum Arivu and it seems like fans are voicing disappointment over the movie’s inconsistencies.
No. Days Completed: 5
No. Shows in Chennai over this weekend: 594
Average Theatre Occupancy over this weekend: 90%
Collection over this weekend in Chennai: Rs. 13,217,553

Verdict: Very Good Opening
2.Velayutham
Cast: Vijay, Genelia, Hansika Motwani, Saranya Mohan, Santhanam
Direction: Jeyam Raja
Music: Vijay Antony
Production: Aascar Films
Velayudham might be the remake of the Hindi film Azad, but that’s exactly what his fans asked for. There is Vijay in all his glory, fights, comedy, sentiment and songs. What more could a die-hard Vijay fan ask for.
Trade Talk:
Though it fell short of making as good advance collections as 7aum Arivu, Velayudham was not quite far behind.
Public Talk:
Velayudham might just be the surprise winner for Diwali what with Vijay delivering what his fans expect out of him.

3.Ra.One
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Armaan Verma
Direction: Anubhav Sinha
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Production: Gauri Khan
SRK’s magnum opus speaks in Tamil for Diwali. The most expensive project has cameos by Rajini, among others.

Fighting it out with two Tamil biggies, Ra.One has not been hugely successful with advance bookings.

People seem to have found out that Rajini’s cameo is blink and miss type.
