'Oscar' Ravichandran, is all smiles as his Arjun-Vadivel mass masala Maruthamalai has taken a super opening across A,B & C centers in Tamilnadu. The film which opened with a record 155 prints (for an Arjun film) has done an astonishing 92 percent on release day (Friday, Sep 7)!Says 'Oscar' Ravichandran: "It is a super smash hit across the state and even in Kerala. I would say it is the best ever Arjun opening in recent times. Believe me the elite audiences at Sathyam and Inox in Chennai city are enjoying it as much as the audiences in Madurai and Salem areas, the traditional supporters of mass masala movies!"
On day two of its release, Maruthamalai had a marginal fall, as there was the Nat west trophy India-England cup decider match at Lords, which meant noon, matinee and evening shows were likely to be hit. But the moment Sachin Tendulkar was given out unfairly by the Pakistani umpire Aleem Dar (around 5 pm) and it was clear that India was losing, people switched off their TV and rushed to theatres. NSC and city reported 90 to 100 percent for Saturday evening and night shows!
'Action King' Arjun piggy back riding on Vadivel's comedy has made yet another comeback. Next week the Telugu dubbed version of Maruthamalai will hit the screens in Andhra.
