For the comedy it is packaged as, Dhanush – Sarkunam team’s Naiyaandi could not evoke laughter. The movie, however, has settled in the average league with no major harm done to its investment. The lean period before Diwali seems to have helped.

What showed promise to be a comedy blockbuster is showing signs of settling into the average league. Naiyaandi is favored by the lack of new releases and is still hanging on to the charts.

NAIYAANDI - WEEK : 1 RANKING : 1
Oct 07th 2013 to Oct 13th 2013
No. Shows in Chennai (Weekend) : 399

Though the combination of Sarkunam and Dhanush sounded promising – after all, they are quite successful in their own terms in dealing with comedy – Naiyaandi has received underwhelming reviews at best. The opening, however, was above average and the potential negative word of mouth could ruin the movie’s prospects.
