'The Badshah of Box office' in Kollywood Vijay has done it once again.
His Deepavali release Sivakasi has witnessed unprecedented opening in all the centers where the movie has been released---- this includes even foreign countries.
The movie directed by Perarusu and produced by A M Rathnam, has witnessed huge queues in all theatres and tickets are going away in a jiffy at various theatres in the State.
Close on the heels of Sivakasi is Vikram's Majaa. The movie has seen 100 per cent collection in Chennai.
A remake of Thommanum Makkalaum, Majaa carries a mixed response from the audience. Next on the list is Srikanth's Bambhara Kannalae followed by Dhanush's Athu Oru Kanaa Kaalam. A contrived storyline and dragging second half are the minuses of the movie.
So it is still a Vijay vs Vikram race. Which V will eventually triumph?

Sivakasi' gets Diwali blessings

Hero Vijay's fans seem to love the film. A theatre at Chengalpet witnessed houseful in all shows on Diwali day. It run to a packed hall from 6.30 A.M till midnight. And there was festive mood around the theaters with thousands of youngsters clambering for tickets.
The story is no different in Kerala too. It had a great opening like that of Mohanlal's film. The theatres like Ernakulam, Sarita and Savita reported 100 percent collections in all the four shows.
Meanwhile, Vikram's film 'Maja' received mixed response, though it had a good opening. Whereas, Dhanush's film 'Athu Oru Kana Kalam' failed to show any sign of life at the box office.
Well, 'Sivakasi' is the clear winner this Diwali. And Vijay is the winning hero.
Vijay to act in a Prakash Raj movie?

The duo of Vijay and Prakash Raj worked out well in the movie Ghilli and the movie was a blockbuster hit. Again, they have joined hands together for the movie Sivakasi. Though, the role of Prakash Raj in the movie was not up to that of Ghilli, he accepted because of Vijay’s request. So, they both have a good understanding between them.
While shooting was going on for Sivakasi, Vijay asked Prakash why he is always producing with new heroes and not producing with him. Prakash replied affirmatively saying that it is very difficult to get Vijay’s dates. He also added that he is ready to produce a movie with Vijay as hero and Prabhu Deva directs the movie. So, if this trio joins together it will be a real feast to the audience.

Sivakasi - Movie Review 2
Review
Moviebuzz
Sivakasi
Movie Sivakasi
Director Perarasu
Producer A.M.Ratnam
Music Srikanth Deva
Cast Vijay, Asin, Prakash Raj
Vijay and director Perarasu likes to work in the easy comfort of the FORMULA- one that is all about a larger-than-life character, punchline dialogues with lot of colloquial usages, plenty of action where people fly around, outrageous songs with inane lyrics about water packets and thair sadam, red, yellow and pink bell bottom pants with high-heel shoes, an all sacrificing good hearted hero with oodles of mother and sister sentiments laced with a comic touch.
This FORMULA had worked well for director Perarasu and Vijay in Tirupachi and now the team has re-worked it. This formula however will test your patience as it is not meant for the class audience or for those seeking quality entertainment. Perarasu and Vijay believe only in catering to the mass audience who want their dose of unpretentious masala mix. The cardinal rule that one should follow while watching such `mass masala mix'(3M) is to suspend disbelief and never ask questions pertaining to logic.
The success of 3M films depend purely on how a director is able to keep his audience spellbound without a script and give him a time-pass entertainment. Perarasu has done an ulta (opposite) of Tirupachi in Sivakasi. In Tirupachi, the story that starts from a village moves to a city in the latter half but in Sivakasi the films opens in Renganathan Street, T.Nagar in Chennai where our hero Sivakasi (Vijay) is living in exile for the last 15 years. In the second half, he goes back to the village to save his sister and mother (Geeta) from his evil elder brother (Prakash Raj)! In both the films, the hero had a rich and modern girl trying to entice him and saying "I love you"!
Sivakasi works due to Vijay-THE SUPERSTAR. He takes the cake, cream and cherry and plays to the gallery with abandon and underlines his over-the-top character with an infectious sense of fun. The Vijay-Asin comic encounters add to the fun and they have a great on-screen chemistry. Prakash Raj as Vijay's scheming brother reworks his `I love you Chellam" act as a buffoon villain with panache. Geeta has an insipid role and the new breed of comedians like M.S Baskar, Chitti Babu and others raise a few laughs.
And the big surprise element is Nayantara who looks glamourous and attractive in an item number. Sunny V.Joseph's the cameraman of Chandramukhi has established himself with this film. GK's artwork is lifelike and Srikanth Deva's dapankoothu songs is just correct for the mood of the film. Sivakasi designed as a B-grade 3M extravaganza, is a cracker of a movie and delivers the goods.
Verdict: Satisfaction Guaranteed

Among the Diwali releases early indications are that Vijay's Sivakasi is the clear winner. The film has taken an extraordinary opening all over Tamilnadu and Kerala (237 prints). The trade is asking- "Will it be a Ghilli or Tirupachi?
It is early days, but Vijay fans who saw the film are appreciating it. In a theatre at Chengalpet near Chennai, shows started at 6.30 am on Diwali day and the last show was held around midnight with all shows Housefull. Serpentine queues were seen in front of theatres screening the film and the premises had a festival mood with thousands of youngsters trying to get a ticket!
And in Kerala, Sivakasi has taken a bumper opening, as big as a Mohanlal film In Ernakulam, Sarita and Savita (combined seating capacity 1787) all four shows have reported 100 percent collections.
Meanwhile Vikram's Majaa also has taken a good opening but the film carries mixed reports. Dhanush's Athu Oru Kana Kalam is lukewarm at box-office.

Sivakasi - Movie Review 1
Copyright: Behindwoods.com
Director – Perarasu
Starring – Vijay, Asin
Producer – A M Ratnam
This Diwali, Sivakasi is said to be in the lead as per the analysis. It is said that 147 theatres in Tamil Nadu and 80 theatres in Kerela has been booked for the movie Sivakasi. Asin Vijay combination is no doubt the pulse of the youth and is proved with the release today. The applaud in the theatres are remarkable and for certain actions and style of Vijay There was a constant word repeat and once more.
Vijay's style in the movie had made the audience exhilarating and this will lead to an unbendable competition with other release of today. The second film by Perarasu with Vijay has given an astounding effect as it is the mother's sentiment that fascinated the audience and Geetha's role as Vijay's mother had brought out the beauty of mother's eagerness, enthusiasm, and the passion of a mother for the son, that had captured the lady's mind and it could be felt as they left the theatre.
Vijay lives in a village in Sivakasi .He comes to Chennai and seeks a job and he works in a welding shop. The routine life is portrayed for a while. He comes across Asin (hema) and he falls in love with her. Asin's father runs a jewelry shop and hearing this he becomes infuriated and the problems that had occurred should be eye witnessed and observed through the movie. First half of the story is very interesting with humorous dialogue, fun, jokes between Asin and Vijay, and it extends to Vijay apologizing with her.
The film is a challenge for Asin and she has superbly performed to the focus of the audience. Prakash Raj is the villain and a brother to Vijay The dialogue between Vijay and Prakash Raj and the stunt actions are the high point of the movie .The second half of the story is how the mother gets protection from the son .The stunt sequences ends up into a climax where Vijay and Asin joins hand and brings happiness and joy to both of them.
The movie is worth seeing as it includes sentiment and entertainment. It is a action paired entertainer and worth considering. Director Perarasu has moulded Vijay in such a way the smack will give him a remarkable victory and the producer has shaped the movie unquestionably well, it is definitely going to be the strike of the day.The song Deepavali Deepavali is a mixture of western and folk in a right manner and the rhythm of the guitar adds beauty to the song which will be ever remembered by the audience. The dance by Asin and Vijay for this song with yellow dress adds serenity and charm to the movie.
All the songs penned by Perarasu and set to music by Srikanth Deva has a different significance to the movie .The song Kodambakkam area a dapankuthu song and Nayanthara's dance has captured the young youth whose whistling for once again was vibrating the theatre But the lyrics and orchestration for the song Ada Enatha..and Enn Thevaithukey did not motivate the audience at all.
The camera by Sekhar V.joseph and art direction by G.K. has worked out marvelously for certain centres. But still more focus could have been give to the satisfaction of some of the audience Not much of Technical facet as the film does not demand much .But on the whole the movie is a family oriented one and is worth seeing. The whole credit goes to Perarasu and A.M Rathnam for bringing out a movie of specialty and will be a big gust. Let us wait and see for the DEEPAVALI FEAST OF THIS MOVIE.

Vijay overtakes Vikram - Pre-release situation
Pushing Siyan to the back, Vijay is in the forefront by 3 crores.
Dakara dakara songs, super fights and emotional scenes will make it difficult for 'Sivakasi' to be dragged to the shore, whispered the Kodambakkam gossip vine. But the film has quietly created a record.
'Thavamai Thavamirundhu' and 'June R' that were slated for a Deepavali release got out of the race due to several reasons. The films currently in the race are 'Sivakasi,' 'Majaa,' 'Adhu Oru
Kanaakaalam' and 'Perusu.'
'Adhu Oru Kanaakaalam' had no takers so the producer is himself distributing in some areas. Dhanush has bought the rights for 3 districts. Produced for 4 crores, only after the release can one see if the film will do well or flop miserably.
Vikram's 'Majaa' was produced for 6 ½ crores and sold for 13 crores. This includes Andhra, Kerala, overseas market as well as audio rights. So, when the film is released, the producer Rockline
Venkatesh will be richer by 6 ½ crores.
'Sivakasi' gets first place in the Deepavali sales. Produced at a cost of 7 crores, the film has been sold for 16 crores. This is 3 crores more than 'Majaa.' Whether the film runs or not, producer A M
Rathnam reaps a 9 crores profit.
The Sivakasi fireworks is ample proof that Vijay is fast becoming a junior superstar!

With firework displays and strings of decoration, our 'Sivakasi' hero made it a celebratory spectacle.Those who have labeled him as a 'mouna saamiyar' or a loner, would have seen a different Vijay yesterday.

Swimming his way through the throng of fans with his father S A Chandrasekhar, he first went to Thirumangalam. He gifted 2 sewing machines and then proceeded to Virudhunagar. He had tea at a fan's stall and gave Rs.2000 as Deepavali gift. After being welcomed by traditional greeting like 'parivattam' and 'aarathi' much to his delight, he made a surprise visit to Vinayaka and Sony Fireworks factories and enquired about the process of making fireworks. The only thing the girls there wanted was to touch Vijay!
The people who were given most importance were the hearing impaired and disabled students of CSI School. Vijay was very happy to see the Annamalai Unnamalai Nagaratchi Palli playground in Sivakasi. Like he did in 'Gilli,' he played kabbadi there for a while.During the entertainment, he went on stage and played the thappattam to the delight of everyone.
To sum up, Vijay started the Deepavali celebrations from yesterday itself at Sivakasi.What's all this in aid of?"Because the title of my film is 'Sivakasi,' I wanted to celebrate Deepavali in Sivakasi," was the cool explanation by Ilaya Dalapathi.
