‘Jana Nayagan’ was released with high expectations as it was Vijay‘the last film before he took up politics as his full-time career. Celebrations started in Tamil Nadu and abroad on the opening day of the film. The film had a good opening at the box office but the collections declined during the week. Since then there have been a number of reports of businesses and companies discussing things that could affect the direction of the film.
Certificates and piracy were among the main points raised
Trade experts have pointed out several reasons, such as the ‘A’ certificate of the film, which prevented the viewing of the young audience. Trade reports have suggested that the certificate is one factor that could affect viewership, as Vijay’s films usually appeal to families. Another problem that arose was that the film was leaked online before its release. Reports said that scenes and parts of the movie were leaked online before its release, prompting the makers to take action. Piracy has also appeared in trade reports as a factor that could have contributed to the downfall of theaters.
The delay in Pongal release is also reflected in the trade talks
Trade reports suggest that Jana Nayagan has missed its Pongal holiday release window due to delays in certification; Dinamalar also said that the delay will cost the film a big festival opportunity. Furthermore, social media chatter showed how the film was changed and lacked the expected visuals. Although industry experts and the public have discussed these factors, the filmmakers have not officially mentioned the reason for the film’s reception.
