Kochadaiiyaan and Veeram grab the top spots
The first 6 months
of the year 2014 have passed by, and the year has seen a fair share of
hits and misses. There have been a sizeable number of films featuring
superstars which have earned the big bucks, and also content-oriented
films which haven't done much harm to their small investments.
In the USA, a market which is dominated by films featuring the big
Tamil superstars (Rajini, Kamal, Vijay, Ajith, Suriya and Vikram) and
also big directors like Shankar, films like Kochadaiiyaan, Veeram and
Jilla have done well in the first half of the year.
