'Anjathe' claims top slot at Tamil box-office

Chennai, Feb 20 (IANS) After the initial euphoria, 'Indralogathil Naa Azhagappan' sank at the box office while Myskin's 'Anjathe' received a good opening mainly because of the success of his first film 'Chithiram Pesuthadi'.

The top five Tamil films are:

1. 'Anjathe' - Director: Mysskin. Many expected another 'Chithiram Pesuthadi' but Mysskin surprised everyone with this thriller. It can be termed one of the best films made so far in 2008.

2. 'Indralogathil Naa Azhagappan' - Director: Thambi Ramaiah. Vadivelu's triple roles have not worked with the audience. The film is a big let down.

3. 'Bheema' - Director: Linguswamy. Another flop at the box office! This is Vikram's first release after a gap of two years and it has disappointed everyone.

4. 'Pirivom Sandippom' - Director: Karu Palaniyappan. This is the only Pongal film that has worked at the box office. The chemistry between Cheran and Sneha is amazing.

5. 'Billa' - Director: Vishnu Vardhan. 'Billa' is the biggest hit of Ajith's career and is doing better than most Pongal releases.
