MovieCrow Box Office Report - August 22 to 24

Bharath's 25th film Ainthaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani had hit the screens last Friday (August 22), but the movie opened to lukewarm response. Check out the box office ranking of Tamil movies during last weekend.

1. Anjaan

In spite of the mixed reviews and negative word of mouth, Anjaan managed to stay at the top of the table for second consecutive weekend, thanks to Suriya's one man show in the film. However, several theatres had reduced the show count due to low footfalls.

2. Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam

As expected, the show count for Parthiban's Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam was increased and many multiplexes had allotted the bigger screens for the film. The movie has garnered support from the audience for its innovative screenplay.

3. Aindhaam Thalaimurai Sidha Vaidhiya Sigamani

Bharath's ATSVS received negative reviews from the critics for its outdated treatment. The movie reminded many people of the commercial potboilers of 1990s and the movie's prospect looks very slim in the upcoming week.

Other Movies

Karthik Subbaraj's Jigarthanda has been going steady, with near house-full shows in multiplexes during weekend, including the special morning shows. Dhanush's Velai Ilal Pattathari is still clinging on to handful of screens with low turnout.

Upcoming week's releases

As many as 3 known films, namely,Irumbu Kuthirai, Vijay Antony's Salim and Megha will be fighting for screens on August 29th.
