Vettaiyan First Day Collection Prediction
Bollywood superstars Rajinikanth and Vettaiyan will grace screens from 10th October on the year 2024 Many will know that it was a light touch with regards to the promotion and pre-booking figures of Lyca production, which is why the pre-booking numbers give rise to optimisms. However, it has been observed that the trailer of the movie did not elicit the kind of responses that are associated with any Rajinikanth film, especially since it brings back the superstar with his mentor Amitabh Bachchan after 33 years, the last time they worked together in a film being Hum in 1991. With Vettaiyan coming hot on the heels of the blockbuster Jailer, the question lingers: will it be able to reproduce the phenomenal success at the box office earned by Jailer. Some industry experts have differing opinions about the movie. Tirupur Subramaniam, who is considered a former President of the Tamilnadu theatre owners Association expressed that Vettaiyan succeeded above all Jailer in the theatres. Recently, he stood up for his followers saying Rajinikanth remains handsome and young. He would be likened to a horse that comes back to form quickly, so why should one be worrying about his health? Subramanian thinks that even though the initial promotional activities have been unimpressive, Vettaiyan could set new records. On the other hand, film trade analyst Raja Shekar offers a more cautious view. Seen in relation to the promotion of Vettaiyan, the promotion of Jailer definitely does not match Sun Pictures heavy promotion of Jailer that contributed to its terrific first-day collection. While the ticket pre-booking for Vettaiyan has been really good, especially for Tamil Nadu, the region does not have that level of thrill or traction, especially in Gulf countries and the northern states, explained Shekar. Shekar Rao expects the film to collect around Rs 70 crore on its first day while Jailer had debuted with Rs 80 crore in earnings in the global market. Much of the fear rests with the very awkward and unexciting trailer for the movie Vettaiyan and to the music score by Anirudh Ravichander, which some felt did not have that kick to catch the audiences imagination. The Tamil film, directed by TJ Gnanavel of Jai Bhim fame, could adopt more of its narrative than being a Rajinikanth commercial film, and this may affect its penetration in the non-Tamil speaking areas. It could just probably feel like a mix of jailer and jai bhim while it is expected outside Tamil Nadu, Shekar said, forecasting a much lower punch beyond Tamil Nadu. Despite these contradictory forecasts, the enthusiasm for Vettaiyan, particularly among Rajinikanth's large circle of admiring supporters, is rather promising. The action-packed thriller showcases the superstar as a hard-hitting cop who does not believe in the rule of law and is pitted against Amitabh Bachchan's character, giving it a good premise. Other films made by Sudhakar are largely supported by an ensemble cast with appreciable emphasis on Ritika Singh, Dhushara, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier and more. Difficult as it may be to state right now, it looks like a Rs 100 crore opening day would not be possible for Vettaiyan either, especially if one tries to look at it with optimism within one's narrow parameters, in comparison to how much The Greatest of All Time that features Vijay grossed on day one grossing Rs 126.32 crores.
TN readymade garment exporters' profit may rise by 8-10% in FY25: CRISIL
Readymade garment exporters from Tamil Nadu are likely to see 8-10 per cent growth in revenue to Rs 43,000 crore in this financial year on healthy order flow amid rising demand conditions, a report said on Friday. The industry has seen signs of recovery in Tamil Nadu after two years of subdued demand and muted realisations and is expected to fare better than the national level where revenue growth is expected to be 3-5 per cent this fiscal. Operating profitability will improve 25-30 basis points (bps) on better operating leverage, marginal increase in realisations and stable yarn prices, Crisil Ratings said in a report. Tamil Nadu readymade garment industry, which accounts for over 30 per cent of readymade garment exports from India, will see volume grow 6-7 per cent in the current fiscal. Growth will be driven by the Tirupur region, the knitwear hub of India, supported by improving demand from the US and Europe. The government's plan to review the Production-Linked Incentive (PL

Annamalai hits out at DMK govt, says permission denied for Tiranga yatras in TN
BJP State President K Annamalai BJP State President K Annamalai Tirupur (Tamil Nadu): Tamil Nadu BJP President K Annamalai on Sunday said police have denied permission to hold tricolour-motorcycle rallies and alleged that the ruling DMK has shown that it does not like the national flag. Speaking to reporters here, Annamalai referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Har Ghar Tiranga' appeal and his party's plan of conducting 'Tiranga yatras' (tricolour marches) across the country. There is no BJP flag and everyone is welcome; there will be vehicles and there will be the national flag, this is the tricolour march and it is aimed at creating (better) awareness among the people and to see the national flag flutter in all houses, he said. This is a big surprise which happens only in Tamil Nadu...national flag itself is a problem for the DMK people...see how they are showing that they do not like the national flag...by denying permission for the vehicle rally, they have shown again their anger, he alleged. What is the law and order problem when one carries the national flag? he asked. Further, Annamalai said that in Coimbatore, office-bearers petitioned police authorities seeking grant of permission to hold the tricolour march. The BJP workers submitted that they would take out the rally only in the route specified and on the date and time fixed by police. Still, permission was denied. The state government should actually take such initiative (tricolour marches) and Stalin, as President of the DMK, should task his party youth wing to hold vehicle rallies.
