The echoes of the past clashes of Rajinikanth and Kamal resonate in the history of Tamil cinema. One notable instance was in 2005 during the Tamil New Year, where ‘Chandramukhi’ and ‘Mumbai Xpress’ were released simultaneously.
The clash saw ‘Chandramukhi,’ starring Rajinikanth, emerging victorious over Kamal Haasan’s ‘Mumbai Xpress.’ The former not only triumphed at the box office but also went on to achieve the remarkable feat of running in theatres for over 300 days.
With the impending re-release of ‘Muthu’ and ‘Aalavandhan,’ fans are gearing up for a nostalgic trip down memory lane. ‘Muthu,’ originally released in 1995, holds a special place in Rajinikanth’s filmography. The remastered version promises to reignite the magic that captivated audiences nearly three decades ago.
Simultaneously, Kamal Haasan’s ‘Aalavandhan,’ which hit screens in 2001 is set to make a comeback after 22 years, with makers actively promoting the film to garner a warm reception.
The clash of these cinematic titans not only stirs excitement but also sparks reflections on their cinematic journeys. Rajinikanth’s ‘Chandramukhi’ and Kamal Haasan’s ‘Mumbai Xpress’ clash serves as a testament to the unpredictable nature of the box office.
While ‘Chandramukhi’ soared to unprecedented heights, ‘Mumbai Xpress,’ though overshadowed at the time, remains a cherished piece of Kamal Haasan’s diverse filmography.
Fans witnessed this long-awaited clash on December 8. The camaraderie between Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan off-screen is a stark contrast to the competitive spirit that unfolds on-screen. Muthu grossed INR 6-7 lakhs in its first three days at box office whereas Aalavandhan has grossed over INR 15 lakhs. Aalavandhan will be making more profits than Muthu.
