Tamil films has not lived up to the expectations in the first quarter of 2013. With some of the big movies bombing at the Box Office, the Kollywood had a disappointing first phase. The only silver line in the quarter is the fact of small films raising to the occasions and proving that only good content can survive. Of the 44 Tamil releases, one turned out to be a blockbuster and only one emerged as a hit. The rest of the films couldn't even break even. Kamal Hassan's controversial Tamil-Hindi bilingual Vishwaroopam was a blockbuster. It garnered over Rs.100 crore on an investment of Rs.95 crore. Despite facing a few troubles during the release, the film became one of the biggest hits of the recent years. Vishwaroopam approximately raked in close to Rs.150 crore, which includes its satellite rights as well. The film did exceptionally good business worldwide thanks to all controversies," trade analyst Trinath told IANS. Besides Vishwaroopam, the other hit Tamil film was Santhanam-starrer Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya (KLTA). "Tamil crass comedy KLTA earned Rs.12.5 crore on a budget of approximately Rs.3 crore. Even though the film received a mixed response from the critics, the audiences lapped it up for its wholesome comedy entertainment," Trinath added.
