Theatre owners were apprehensive as other films that had been released recently had struggled to collect at the box office. According to distributor Karthik Ravivarma, the movie Viruman, which was released on August 12, and Thiruchitrambalam have made the film industry happy again.
Reportedly, Viruman produced Rs 38.4 Cr in 10 days. According to Karthi Ravivarma, this is the highest one-day collection of any film starring Karthi.
Now, Tiruchirambalam, which opened in theatres on August 18, registered a grand opening at the box office. Still going strong at the Tamil Nadu box office, the film surpassed Rs 50 crore.
Karthik Ravivarma says the cinemagoers and critics are counting the days to see the upcoming Cobra, Pisasu-2, Captain, and Ponniyin Selvan: I. He also expressed hope that the films will definitely fetch good collections.
