  • Fox Star Studios & A.R. Murugadoss score a hattrick in Tamil cinema with Raja Rani

    Fox Star Studios & A.R. Murugadoss score a hattrick in Tamil cinema with Raja Rani

    Fox Star Studios and A R Murugadoss’ latest venture, Atlee’s Raja Rani starring Arya and Nayanthara, has clocked a domestic weekend of 12.2 crore according to the production house, making it the fourth biggest opening of the year for a Tamil film and the biggest weekend ever for actor Arya. The film has also set the overseas box office ablaze and has amassed a whopping $800,000 over the weekend. Infact, the film has become India’s third highest weekend grosser in Malaysia.

    Raja Rani’s success also marks a hat trick for Fox Star Studios and A R Murugadoss’s partnership that started in 2011 with breakaway hit Engaeyum Eppothum. While the film has found tremendous critical and popular acclaim for its content, what sets it apart from any other previous Tamil films in recent times is the sheer innovation of the marketing campaign.  

    Talking about Raja Rani’s success, debutant director Atlee says, “I am absolutely thrilled and really thankful to the audiences and the critics for such a warm reception to the film. I am also humbled by the response to the film from the family audiences for whom I had primarily conceived this film; I believe after a long time, even during the early morning shows, family audiences are thronging the theatres.”

    A.R. Murugadoss, who partnered with Fox Star Studios to produce this venture, adds, “My production partnership with Fox Star Studios has been excellent. The company has a global presence which has helped to exploit the films very well. Fox and I had decided right at the start that we want to produce good movies with good messages and Atlee’s script had all those qualities. I am happy the audiences are loving it.”  

    Fox Star Studios CEO Vijay Singh concludes, “It’s been a fantastic record-breaking run for Raja Rani! Along with A.R. Murugadoss, we had decided we would back good scripts and new talents in Tamil rather than rushing into multiple acquisitions and releases. Today, I am happy to say that our strategy has paid off handsomely. In marketing, we were keen to bring our learnings from Hollywood & Bollywood and apply them in the Tamil market. Kudos to the Fox marketing team and Atlee for coming up with innovative ideas like the marriage invitation invite and the first-time ever roadblock of the trailer which created a buzz for the film beyond its starcast. But all the marketing efforts are no use without good content. And director Atlee has crafted a film which is hard to believe is a debut film. We look forward to working with him on his next film too! We have had a dream run so far in Tamil cinema ever since we made our debut in 2011 and as we move ahead, we are looking at an exciting slate of breakthrough cinema with CV Kumar in 2014!”

    Fox Star Studios’ next venture will be Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullett Raja, it will be released on 29 November.

    PVR Nest initiates films for change with Roses & Chiranjiv Bharati school

    PVR, one of India’s largest film entertainment company through its social program and registered foundation PVR Nest, Roses (Road safety & Emergency School) and Chiranjiv Bharati School created a film based road safety education program at PVR Cinema at MGF Mall, Gurgaon.

     

    Chiranjiv Bharati School is synonymous with the name of Late Shri Chiranji Lal Ansal, an eminent educationist and a great visionary. This solid foundation is what the School is built on–a culture that fosters innovative thinking, application of technology in traditional systems of education, together with a commitment to revolutionise learning for a better tomorrow.

     

    For the first time a social foundation and a school have come together on a same platform combining their synergies to create a very unique entertaining educational session on the very important issue of road safety for children who are the “Future road users”. The messaging of the day was that all of us forget about the best behavior practices while on road. The mundane issue of road safety was communicated to the children in the most innovative and entertaining manner using films as a medium to bring about behavior change among children towards road safety so as to reduce the rate of accidents and make it a social movement.

     

    More than 400 children from Chiranjiv Bharati School participated in the program and took the pledge to carry the initiative forward by forming road safety clubs in school and making their own original films on the issue.

     

    Roses chairman Subodh Lal conducted an interactive road safety educational session with students and urged them to become responsible for not on Family’s safety but to create awareness and adopt safe road behavior practices.

     

    The program was given an opening with CineArt educational workshop which was followed by a theatre on road safety and Film making session by filmmakers.

     

    On the occasion, PVR VP – CSR Deepa Menon said, “At PVR Nest, we are continuously looking at addressing core social issues that affect the community we live in and thus uphold our commitment towards urban sustainability. We are extremely happy to use our spaces and partner with Chiranjiv Bharati School to create education and action on this very important issue of children’s and family health and nutrition using the innovative mediums of films.”

     

    Lal added, “Roses has always strived to not only create awareness on Road safety but also aims at creating a mindset and a behavioral change amongst youth. We are happy to partner with PVR Nest and Chiranjiv Bharati School for an enriching session and assist the children in learning about road safety.”
