dampener in New Jersey. But still the collection
has been very encouraging.
Talking to Behindwoods, one of the exhibitors
mentioned, "This movie would go onto
to make profits next only to Dasavatharam
in the US. The cost per print has been very
well placed. Though Kuselan and Kuruvi did
bring in lot of people in the first week,
both those movies were very highly priced
for the exhibitors to make money".
Few centres in the US have been handed over
to exhibitors at a very marginal price by
the distributors Pyramid Saimira Entertainment
America as a compensation for Kuselan.
The biggest surprise factor is that the
movie has not had enough publicity in US.
The word of the mouth has been playing a
key role. The other factor which has immensely
helped the movie is brand Venkat Prabhu.
Venkat Prabhu's earlier movie Chennai 600028
is much respected among Tamil Cinema fans
in the US. Though Chennai 600028 was never
released in US, it was one of the most sought
after DVDs among the Tamil public. Saroja
seems to be now compensating Chennai 600028
not making to the American screens.
