Not in that order.

Don't ask me how I landed on this list...there was a link from Dinamalar newspaperhttp://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...icon_smile.gif And their top ten movies of 2008 also seems reasonable :

Ya...i know its a hit...dunno how much...didnt watch the movie too...

Let us wait for Ayan to decide the fact http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/icon_lol.gif

Interesting list of top 20 actors at KWood (based on market)
 

http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...20-actors.html

Quite interesting, and seems to reflect the current market value.

1. RK 2. KH 3. Vijay 4.Surya 5. Ajith & so forth...

vijay rocks

Dubakoorwoods is quite right this time

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/rotfl.gif i remember SOK(just bcos it was a ARR film) pre release works......i enquired a theater owner on why SOK was not having any publicity in-around the theater........he told that there was no fans for surya who can stick posters, tie thoranams etc http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif surya has ladies fans who watch kolangal and arasi not movies in theaters(no offence meant but thats how it works)........maybe by market they mean koyambedu market where he might be owning 2-3 shops

in BO, its Kamal, Rajini, Ajith, Vijay and rest - period......sam anderson, surya ellam list-laye illa

I agree Surya has no fans who would post thoranams and cutouts and paal abishegam etc. His major fan group are girls and women.

But his movies have been doing quite good, just that the list should state him after ajith. Other than that nothing wrong.

In Malaysia, after Dasavatharam, the highest collection last year was for Varanam Aayiram.

I dont think fans alone can decide on how much a film can make. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...n_rolleyes.gif

hmm, orutharukku, eppadi indirect publicity pannanumgarathu thanni patta paadu, innoruthar ellaathayum muriyadichaalum maniratnathukku machaanaagittaar (mouna virathathula).... enna solla

What nonsense with Surya? Surya-GM is a tested combo, illaiya? You can't judge the box office power. Admittedly a risky example, It's like Spielberg(at fear of being mentioned any where near GM) with Tom hanks, a tested commercial pair. Even if that grosses a higher amount, it wouldn't mean Hanks has a higher market value than Will Smith.

Or in North, Abhishek working with Mani Ratnam for the next film. Still wouldn't compare to Hrithik Roshan in BO power.

yes, it takes a good script or hype for movies to run....VA's success is combination of GM+HJ's trade value..........which means, if GM had dhanush in VA, then too it would have been successful.........but can surya make a movie like thirupathi run or will he ever get a hit like Ghilli.......

1. Audio sales - partly belongs to MDs but actors too have a say in it
2. pre-release hype (buzzz around the movie, talk of the town etc)
3. Opening (people just watch the movie for him, without knowing how the movie is)
4. no. of days Run/total collections

i think apart from AJ,VI,RK,KH none of them can gurantee the above 4 on their own.....i agree they too struggle but their numbers are much more than others.....that is trade value.......

gimme a break, surya is just a bundle of hype

yeah right, GM/HJ is more marketable than Surya. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/icon_lol.gif

EdhO neenga ellaam sandhOshama irundhaa seri. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wave.gif

Not in that order. i know its a contentious issue http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif 10A broke all records, i think it does have a impact on rankings isnt it?? maybe i dunno, but i never tried to rank these 4 people.......my case was like "these 4" and "the rest"

No it dint. Even if it did, Kamal stays at #2.

OK, I am off this thread http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/ymlol.gif
