A well deserved century!

On Saturday (July 10), Lingusamy�s Paiyaa celebrated 100 days run in three Chennai screens.

It is a fantastic century by any yardstick, in these hard days.

Lingusamy and his team deserve a pat on their back for this unique distinction at a time when movies are finding it difficult to run for 10 days! Lingusamy, Yuvan Shankar Raja, Karthi and Tamannaah along with Cloud Nine can take credit for the stupendous success of the film.

Says a leading exhibitor: � Paiyaa was a beautiful packaged entertainer from Lingusamy with all essential ingredients that worked with the mass and class audiences. The extra edge was provided by Yuvan�s music and the romantic chemistry between Karthi and Tamannaah was just perfect.�

The trade facts about the film is that it must have cost around Rs 12 crore, but has collected approximately Rs 35 crore from theatricals and other rights. Paiyaa can now be called a blockbuster as it has made three times its investment.
