Japan and Jigarthanda Double X were the two major releases this weekend vying to attract the audience for Diwali. Karthi’s Japan opened with Rs 3Cr gross in Tamil Nadu and Rs 2Cr gross in Telugu states. The other territories’ gross is around Rs 2.5 Cr. In total, Karthi’s Japan managed a total gross of around Rs 7.5Cr. for opening day which is below par.
Starring Anu Emanuel and Sunil in key roles, Japan’s talk was not at all encouraging. It witnessed a big drop in all territories excluding Tamil Nadu where it stayed in the same range as the opening day even on day 2. Japan, written and directed by Raju Murugan, is described as a heist comedy film and Karthi’s unique characterization surely evoked some interest. However, the dull screenplay added to the film’s troubles and it received poor word-of-mouth
Karthik Subbaraj’s Jigarthanda Double X featuring SJ Suryah and Raghava Lawrence opened around Rs 2.5Cr range of business in Tamil Nadu and the worldwide gross is around 4.5Cr which is a poor opening considering the film’s high budget and star cast. But with positive talk, the film witnessed a more than double jump today and is expected to go bigger by each passing day for the next days. Overall in the battle of Japan and Jigarthanda Double X, it appears that the latter has emerged victorious.
