Overseas territories added another 4 crore to the tally, pushing the worldwide opening day collection to a respectable 20.66 crore. It’s a promising beginning for the Suriya-starrer.
Looking at the domestic performance, the Tamil version is clearly leading the charge with 12 crore net from 3,448 shows and an overall occupancy of 54 percent. The Telugu version contributed 2.40 crore net from 1,443 shows at 30 percent occupancy.
