For everyone's surprise actor turned politician Vijayakanth starrer Arasangam is doing good business in box office comparing to that of Kuruvi.

Vijayakanth’s Arasangam has emerged as winner in the box-office race for supremacy this week-end overtaking Vijay’s Kuruvi.

Kuruvi, a much-hyped movie, directed by Dharani and produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin, hit the screens a couple of weeks ago, followed by Arasangam (150th film of Vijayakanth).

Since both the actors enjoy good fan-following, expectations were high on the films. But Kuruvi managed mixed reviews while word-of-mouth publicity for Arasangam has been good so far.

According to sources, Arasangam opened managed full houses in both urban and rural centres. Interestingly for the first time Vijayakanth has managed to attract maximum crowd in multiplexes too.

The reason for slowdown of Kuruvi is that the theater owners in association with the film distributors will full blessing from the government are over pricing the tickets and making the public to keep away from the movie.
