This Karthi fella, sibling of sori padam Surya and son of Monkey dancer Sivakumar, is going the way of his peers – that is taking the trash road to infamy.
No surprise then that the box office numbers of Karthi’s movies reflect that.
Here’s how Karthi’s new film Siruthai fared at the UK box office compared to a few recent Tamil movies:
Karthi, the younger son of the Jillu Jillu, Gullu Gullu tail-less monkey Sivakumar, may be a decent actor but box office returns from his movies are not so decent.
We found Karthi’s latest movie Naan Mahaan Alla, which opened last Thursday in the U.S., to be a watchable flick but Tamil film audiences have not exactly stormed the box office. The U.K. box office, that is.
Naan Mahaan Alla brought in a meager £17,508 in the opening weekend at the U.K. box office and notched up an average gross of £2,918 after debuting in six theaters.
As you can see in the below table, Karthi’s previous film Paiyaa released in the same number of theaters but did better.

How dare this bastard Suseenthiran do this to us.
Dai badava *#$%&@, unnae vandhu paathukuraen da (we’re gonna fix you real bad).
What the f*ck is wrong with Suseenthiran, director of the new Tamil film Naan Mahaan Alla?
Here’s our diatribe vis-a-vis this bastard:
* Did no one tell this bastard that Tamil movies ought to be unwatchable horror shows?
* Did no one tell this bastard that none of the actors in a Tamil movie ought to show even a spark of acting talent?
* Did no one tell this bastard that he ought to have picked Aishwarya Rai, Vijay, Ajith, Abhishek Bachchan, Vikram or Surya and then a la that heart-attacked, over-rated, super-flopped buffoon Mani Ratnam delivered a piece of shit?
* Did no one tell this bastard that Tamil films ought to look downright bizarre with vulgar song/dance sequences from Iceland, Machu Picchu, Malaysia and Mexico and crude comedy featuring Vadivelu or Vivek?
* Did no one tell this bastard with no Godfathers in Kollywood that he ought to have stayed back in his village near Palani and grazed cows?
How dare Suseenthiran flout all the basic rules of Tamil filmdom and deliver a decent movie.
The effrontery!
Somebody, get us our .357 Magnum. We’re gonna shoot this bastard, right now.
Suseenthiran, what a sweet bastard!

Tamil film Paiyaa has not fared well at the box office.
The average gross of the Lingusamy-directed, Karthi-Tammanna Bhatia starring Tamil movie Paiyaa at the UK box office is less than even that of Sathyam, one of the worst movies known to human civilization.
For the April 2, 2010-April 4, 2010 opening weekend, Paiyaa had an average gross of £3,503 while Sathyam had an average gross of £4,020.
Excuse us, while we wipe our (crocodile) tears.
Want more bad news?
Well, here we go.
Even that non-actor Ajith’s Asal had a higher average gross.
As you can see in the below chart, director Lingusamy’s previous crap show Bheema (2008) also had higher average gross at the UK box office.
Are we surprised over the Paiyaa debacle? Continue reading »
Paiyaa UK Box Office – Bad, Really Bad
The distraught girl is chased by a bunch of Andhra thugs and must reach Bombay.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
You see, the smitten, besotted, desperately in love guy who is driving the girl to her grandma’s home is chased by a gang of Bombay goons and must not reach Bombay.
Solving the Bombay Problem, How?
Ha ha ha. Ezee boss. Ezee.
First, Siva (Karthi) uses a black umbrella to hide from the Bombay hoodlums waiting for him en route.
Second, the girl uses the same black umbrella in an abortive bid to hide from the Andhra goondas. Alas, the schmuck Charu (Tamannah Bhatia) can’t even hold an umbrella straight and gives the game away to the waiting baddies
Hey, wait. We almost forgot. Our hero is Nikkara vandilae aeramataru (the hero will never board a standing bus).
Andhra thugs, Bombay thugs, Black umbrella, Nikkara vandilae aeramataru hero – Folks, these are the flimsy threads on which the Paiyaa story hangs teeters.
No kidding. No, we’re not drunk. Well, maybe slightly. 
By the way, can any of our Mensa-readers explain why the South Indian thugs in our movies always look like neanderthals chomping into the raw meat while the Bombay thugs look refined in comparison. Weird.
Disgusting Shit
Any surprise then that Paiyaa is a pathetic piece of shit.
Puke-worthy garbage unworthy of release in a theater.
If Paiyaa proves anything at all, it’s that Tamil Nadu Cheap oops Chief Minister Karunanidhi’s grandson Dayanidhi Azhagiri is as much of a moron as his cousin Udayanidhi Stalin when it comes to putting out Tamil movies.
Usual Satan
But the arch-villain, the Ivan the Terrible, the hideous Satan behind the Paiyaa debacle, is not Dayanidhi Azhagiri but an IQ-less fella with the moniker of N.Lingusamy.
This buffoon Lingusamy is the irresponsible idiot responsible for the ill-begotten story, woeful screenplay and utter misdirection of Paiyaa. Continue reading »

Hey, which bi*ch was it that slammed Aayirathil Oruvan as a bad movie?
Shut up you bi*ch, otherwise we’ll blow your f*cking brains off!
Yeah, right.
Indiana Jones, Redux
Folks, notwithstanding the bibulous babble of the ignorati or the drivel pouring forth from the schmucks, Aayirathil Oruvan is easily one of the most attractive Tamil movies to emerge from the Augean stables of Kollywood in the last couple of years.
Eschewing the familiar claptrap of asinine romances or sophomoric ‘action’ movies (usually featuring buffoons like Surya, Vijay, Vikram or Ajith), Aayirathil Oruvan trots down a different path.
The lavish harvest of a powerful imagination, Aayirathil Oruvan dares to venture into a terrain, a virgin adventure trail, where few Indian movies, be it Kollywood or its older sibling Bollywood, have explored with any credibility before.
Visually pleasing, featuring solid acting and fast-paced for the most part, Aayirathil Oruvan is a rara avis in Tamil films.
Folks, it’s Indiana Jones redux.
Albeit, a scaled down, Tamil version of a lush jungle where you come face to face with weird-looking cannibals, venomous snakes slithering around you and on you too, deceptive quicksand, hostile primitives and other dangerous elements lurking about on the road to discovering the relics of a lost empire’s refugees.
Drawing its inspiration from the ancient rivalry between the Chola and Pandya kings of Tamil lore but rooted firmly in the present times, the film gallops along at a pretty pace in the lush jungles of Vietnam. Really?
The only uneasy feeling we have is how could a jackass who wrote that garbage Yaaradi Nee Mohini also deliver Aayirathil Oruvan. Enlighten us, will ya. Continue reading »
