Ajith and director Siva’s Pongal offering, Veeram enters its 50th day today in a few screens across Tamil Nadu.
After doing back-to-back stylish action flicks, Ajith took up a village-based subject like “Veeram.” Thala’s (as he is fondly referred by his fans) dhoti clad appearance and his famous salt and pepper look received rave comments from the fans.
The actor appeared in the role of an elder brother to four siblings played by Vidarth, Bala, Munish and Suhail. For the first time, he teamed up with Tammanaah in the film, directed by “Siruthai” Siva.
“Veeram” is a m
ass masala entertainer with all the commercial elements including action, sentiments, romance, comedy, punch dialogues and songs. The film received mixed reviews from critics upon its release. However, Ajith fans lapped it up and gave big thumbs up for the action entertainer. Families too thronged the theatres to watch the film.
The Ajith starrer took a solid opening on the first day of its release and the 10-day-long Pongal holidays helped the film post fantastic collections at the Tamil Nadu box office. It also performed decent business in other Indian states as well as in overseas markets.
With “Veeram” success, Ajith has two back-to-back hits including “Arrambam.” It remains to be seen if the actor will be able to sustain it and hit a hat-trick with “Thala 55″, a big-budget Gautham Menon directorial.
