‘Baana Kathadi’ which released on August 6 is going strong in its third week. Much to the delight of the industry this city based film is doing well even in B and C centers.

This type of universal response is normally seen only for the big star movies and it's a healthy trend starting as a new comer's film also managed it. 'Baana Kathadi' has made Atharva and Samantha are favourites in small towns also.

'Baana Kathadi' is a teen love story set in North Chennai. The love story between a local guy and a hi-fi IT girl has found takers from all over because of the simple way it has been told. When the film released nobody thought of this tremendous response because the minimal publicity and the perceived colour of the film were thought to be only for multiplex visitors.

More over the film got released all of a sudden and did not even have enough time for a decent pre-release publicity. But it proved a good film will do well in all circumstances.
