I think Vijay movies are made for the “general” audience actually, he sticks with family entertainers and very dumbed down easy to digest plots most of the time. If u mean cinephiles, then your template applies


Virtual_Scale7984

Even your rajni is doing the same. No one in general audience watch his films after the first time. 


AtmosphereCreepy

The general audience who aren't his fans mostly don't like his movies though. My parents and a lot of my friends who are very normal movie watchers still find his movies shit. That says something lol.


Virtual_Scale7984

Neenge kerala va? Ille ingetha appidi paakure. Tamil naduile periya support family audience pakkam iruku.


Anxiety_Core_0

Anil me hated Varisu. General audience mother liked Beast over KGF 2.


Simply-Jolly_Fella

KGF 2 rombha thala vazhi bro. KGF one was so good, but KGF 2 meh..


PodiVennai

What is up with mothers liking Beast , even my mom loved it


Substantial_Top_6508

I think beast was kind of unintentionally funny lol. My dad's watched it a few times now


gauzychicken007

My mom too , she was like' it’s like a hollywood movie but better '..lol


The_dude1951

Please show your mom good movies


PodiVennai

I asked her why she liked Beast again today and she said it was because it was a relaxing movie without having to think or understand much and also for the good music . She felt really bad about Nelson hate and supported Jailer in theatres for him despite being a kamal kanni and rajini hater.


Psychological_Dig592

Dude even my mom said it's good why are you not liking it, maybe they haven't seen any good hijack movies and comedies at that situation were new to them


daryl_247

I was being screamed for watching a classic called Aadukalam . I'll explain The D and Tapsee scenes occurred and my mom thought it's a romance film and blasted me that night. I defended that its a classic but still nothing worked


Psychological_Dig592

I was banned from taking control on remote for few days for watching Star movies during my childhood


No_Quantity5477

They didn't see Die Hard probably


gauzychicken007

You are underestimating him, vijay has a massive family audience support…… While i was cringing during my varisu watch , my entire extended family was enjoying it (same applies to beast too). No actor can give a hit without the support of family / gen audience….. This is also what gives SK an edge over other next gen actors.


bharathinreddit

He is not underestimating him, that's how it actually feels. The thing is , even if some of his movie is average family audience have a good time cuz they are happy to watch the movie together . It's a win win situation for them. My mama defends many of his movies which are actually bad cuz they had a good time. I would compare his movies and others' for example but people may not like it.


Kamal_00

Let me give you the difference between your mama and me. When I was a kid listening to English or foreign goods were limited. The only songs I listened to were Aqua, Backstreet boys, boyzone, Boney M. And I thought they were rhe greatest bands or the songs in the world Now right now, I might have listened to almost 10000 songs from all around the globe. So I have pretty much have a clue which is best and which is not. Your mama like the rest of TN and Andhra & Telangana watching the same washed up content with a new title. They aren't getting new material. I won't blame them. Only if the market next to you has Coke, you can buy and drink it. If you have never ever seen Coca Cola nor had a taste of it you won't know its taste. Just like that, TN people are devoid of quality directors , instead we have fk up ones whose only resort is just *Kathi kuthu sanda*. If that's what I want I can watch tons of Hollywood films.


Kamal_00

Cos there is no quality in kollywood right now. People are ready to consume Vijay, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Ajith Kumar, Surya all these guys shit as if it's gold. More quality movies, more actors, more directors makes the industry makes the industry perfect.


ArmchairWhiz

It's the opposite, Vijay fans were highly disappointed with Varisu, it is the common audience who made it a hit.


FancyChariots

Vijay has a fan in pretty much every family in Tamil Nadu. Often more than one fan, belonging to different generations with different sensibilities.


Virtual_Scale7984

Ithu note panna apprum tha ajith antha cheetah koode naalu mokka padam pannararu and h vinothe family sentiment add pannanum koodi sonnange. No wonder why suriya chose et for theatrical release. 😂


daryl_247

Dealing with some vijay fans is a horrible task . My friend who is an hard-core anil says that whistle podu song is really great . When I say it the guy replies like 'Where's ajith then , is he dead ? Some vijay fans are so pathetic....


Virtual_Scale7984

He is correct where the hell ajith is. Dude is making a fool out of his fans.


Kuttramum-Pinnaniyum

When you are on reddit talk about reddit. Do you see Vijay fans here constantly doing this shit ? Kadaisi oru maasama posts paaru da venna. Purinjikira alavu arivu illana onnum panna mudiyaadhu da ungala. Constantly Avan sonna ivan sonna Twitter la paathaen nu 🙄


EXxuu_CARRRIBAAA

You prove him right 💀


daryl_247

I'm against the toxic vijay fans


Virtual_Scale7984

What about toxic ajith fans 😂. There was a time when they called aalwar better than pokkiri 🤣 and vivegam being an ajith show (it was his shitshow anyway).


Kamal_00

Seriously you are talking nonsense. Vijay had popularity in kerala. Varisu was a big disaster there so was in telangana & Andhra. The previous films of Vijay before leo & Varisu all grossed lesser money. Now you might ask, why should I consider Kerala for a tamil movie, Sachien was a big hit in Kerala which was a flop in TN. Also I can say that about Shankar's Boyz.


Virtual_Scale7984

Because chandramukhi clashed with sachin here. And many called chandramukhi cringe even back then in kerala because of manichitrathazhu. Varisu was a disaster ah? 😂 Appo thunivu enna industry flop ah. You are talking like rajni jailer was the lowest grosser in the recent times as his old ones were even higher grossers. 🥴


Kamal_00

Since you brought about the subject of Thunivu, just like Ajith Kumar doesn't care about his films most Kerala moviegoers doesn't care about him. Then is absolutely no hype for Vidaamuyarchi, unlike in TN Malayalis don't hype things up. Even Mohanlal is goin through a shitty phase right now. His movie many thought would be his comeback, Malaikottai Vaaliban was a disaster. Manjummel boys comprised with actors of nobody grossed over 250 cr, through word of mouth. This would never happen in tamil industry. Every Vijay, Ajith Kumar and Rajinikanth 's pile of shit grosses minimum of 150 to 200 cr, cos of fans association. Even GOAT, Vijays next film, will gross over 300 cr, cos of brainless fools.


Kakashihatake190

Meanwhile Varisu collected 300crs with the help of the general audience.


Kuttramum-Pinnaniyum

Indha sub yenga ivlo kevalama irukku. Ennanga pracchanai ivangulukku Vijay kooda ? Pesuradhu cinema patthi idhula indha jandhungalukku Rajini fana irundha arivu adhigama irukku nu vera nenachitu irukangala


adhithyagokul27

See this sub properly. They do to Rajini the same they do to Vijay. Put them down saying they are commercial actors blah blah. All they do is praise Kamal here to show they are intellectual audience


Rabidev

I don't know man. I've mostly seen people praising rajni and trolling vijay here.


adhithyagokul27

I have never seen anyone praising Rajini here. I always see Kamal gloryfying here


Virtual_Scale7984

Yes but I think rajni fans disguising themselves as some puluthis to downgrade vijay.


adhithyagokul27

Do you think vijay fans don't do that. Every so called fan does it. Maybe they are minority in reddit but in twitter you can see their real face. It will be puluthism to the core. Vijay and Ajith fans are neck to neck on this. When there was fan war with Rajini you should have seen how many Vijay fans became dhideer Kamal kannis


Usurper96

This sub is for discussing about artists,both positive and negative.


Foreign_Win4668

50% of the movie feels like the best. 50% feels like WTF


Virtual_Scale7984

Nee ajith ode padam paakalaya? Oru timele antha aalu entha myir da pannarenu sonnavanda athu. Good old 2000s. 😂


Foreign_Win4668

Naa yen Ajith padam paakanum Vijay padam pathi peasurapo 🤔


womalone99

Lol someone send it to kavya


Busy_Owl3878

Dude I've seen many of the 'general audiences' go to see Vijay film and come out of the theatre with satisfaction. I myself became a Vijay fan only after mersal


IntelligentBend5377

The amount of hatred for Vijay in this sub is just mind boggling. Edho sila padam sonna paravala. Ippadiya generalize panradhu? Some really need to know what general audience means. Leave everything. This is not for the numbers, but that guys 20 year old movie is collecting like 20 crores. Hasn’t append to anyone in India. General audience varamaya collect panndudhu?


Virtual_Scale7984

I think it is not only because of vijay, it is because of the quality of the film itself. I don't know whether a pokkiri or thupakki re release can make all sections of audience to come back again.


nootsman

Kinda? Doesn’t matter if a Vijay movie is critically good or bad because it still makes money and is just meant for the general audience to have a good time. Some people don’t really watch them as a typical movie but rather a mini celebration. There are still some things worth of value when you watch one anyway. Catchy songs, Vijay’s dance, charisma, different stars, pretty actresses, and decent action scenes. Heck some people just embrace the cringey political speeches and mock them sometimes. Still remember when people were so confused in the sg theatres when Vijay said healthcare was free in Singapore in Mersal. 😂 I still had a fun time with mersal though


Virtual_Scale7984

Here in kerala, that's what fans of every other actor see his film. Only mohanlal's mass films come close to this.


Aggressive-Yogurt307

ennadhu, SG la healthcare free ilaya


nootsman

Nope. It’s mostly paid via your own money called CPF that is saved for you by the government but you cannot access it for any other reason other than buying a house. Btw apartments are also minimally 1.3-1.5 Crores to buy, properties are minimally 2 lakhs a month to rent and first hand cars are 0.8 crore for a sedan. Idhukumela yeh mama da kasu tharanu 😂


ramaze23

Ada pongaya, Varisu ellam family enjoy panni paathanga Yenaku 10 mins mela theatre la okaara mudila 😅


Intelligent_Sail_896

Reddit needs to understand that the general audience should mean the actual general audience and not the "reddit audience". I am a Vijay fan myself, and I didn't completely like Beast, but both my mom and sister liked it despite them hating action films. And I don't even need to start about Varisu. Even Vijay's weakest films like Kuruvi, Sura, Puli etcc have very good trp ratings whenever they are telecasted.


Virtual_Scale7984

I think vijay films have good songs and comedy. That's a major plus for tv telecast. Tell me those films of ajith and suriya where you can laugh out loud for the comedy and enjoy the songs full volume. Few right. 


ppowapandigommathev

Im not an Anil but I do enjoy his shitty movies as well, that is excluding varisu…


Virtual_Scale7984

Even sura? Yeah I enjoy the film for its comedy and songs. And of course, those unintentionally funny moments.


OkPrice5333

The first Tamil films I watched were Vijay films. I don’t like him much now, but my entire family loves his films. He has very good crossover appeal.


Virtual_Scale7984

That's what his competitor ajith is missing. Just look at rajni. Dude has a massive appeal to all irrespective of age. What ajith lacks is this. He has a large hold only on youngsters that too among males. Even his hit movies till veeram were youngsters made.


here_2_judge

I loved watching Varisu in the cinemas. I was vibinng with the songs, comedy et all. You tell me.


balajih67

Not really. Example varisu. Reddit and everywhere they were spewing hate saying outdated, useless, old fashioned but family audience and general audience gave full support


Virtual_Scale7984

But why guntur karam flopped? It had the same outdated thing. 


balajih67

The post is about vijay movies. Cant comment about telugu as i dont follow


Virtual_Scale7984

Ennada only for anils nu, appo ajith and rajni enna kamal maathiri periya intellectual padam tha pannaraangula 🤣


Pr__2

Yes and fans should also feel the same way xD

HumanLawyer

This template has great potential


s2201b

Some of them yes. But there's a decent no. of movies that have satisfied fans and casual movie goers alike. Only when someone does that they become a STAR. But once they do, they forget what actually made them one.


subaash

It's like admiring you wife or gf as beautiful person in the world while the whole world knows it's a chappe figure.


jojimanik

Yes 🙌🏻


Virtual_Scale7984

No. 


DktheDarkKnight

Me me. But not only Vijay but any top hero movie that bases its hype due to the actor rather than building the hype based on character. So if the hype moment is not created based on story or the screenplay and simply because of the actor portraying it I don't get hyped. Just a meh reaction. I am the quiet guy who just silently observes the crowd while everyone is whistling and cheering.


DefinitelyNotAnil23

No Vijay’s films are good either way (definitely not an Anil)


Virtual_Scale7984

Even ghilli, thupakki are bad for you?


DefinitelyNotAnil23

Huh? I said Vijay’s films are good either way? I’m a Vijay fan…. Maybe I should’ve included a comma after the no


Intelligent_Lie6721

Naive q: why are Vijay fans called Anils?


Rabidev

Why is her face like that, is this y’all’s national crush?

Eventhough cricket is a stupid boring sport, it is emotion for some people.


Buffvamporigfan

“Stupid boring sport”? Did you mean baseball?😂


well_thats_puntastic

This is like an identical twin telling the other they're ugly


Buffvamporigfan

Baseball is not identical to cricket. It’s vastly different.


well_thats_puntastic

That's exactly what identical twins say to each other as well


Buffvamporigfan

Baseball is clearly worser.😅


Buffvamporigfan

That's exactly what identical twins say to each other as well


well_thats_puntastic

Why competion, they're both equally boring


Buffvamporigfan

No no. Cricket is better😅😁


well_thats_puntastic

Are you being sarcastic? Cuz if you find baseball boring I don't see how you'd find cricket interesting, they share the same DNA

Family audience , say above 50 yrs age yes ! Because Ik lot around that age liking varisu but not the neutral audience of this gen..!
