Massive success of Bigil and Kaithi at Tamil Nadu box office may have resulted in a lull period post Diwali

Firstpost  

After Bigil and Kaithi, none of the expected biggies like Action, Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta, Sangathamizhan, and Adithya Varma lived up to the expectations at the box office. None of the films including Vishal’s Action, Dhanush’s Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta, Vijay Sethupathi’s Sangathamizhan, and Dhruv Vikram ’s most anticipated Adithya Varma were able to live up to the audience’s expectations. Though both Irandam Ulagaporin Kadaisi Gundu and Iruttu received favorable reviews, audiences are not willing to watch it on the big screen.” “Among the films which released post-Diwali only Adithya Varma is holding a few shows but still, we can’t term it as a hit film,” he adds. These days, films which have strong content are struggling to mint money so for a film’s successful run both content and apt release day are mandatory,” says Pathy, adding that the Pongal bonus has contributed to the phenomenal run of Viswasam and Petta, and a similar run is expected for Darbar.
