Despite coming after a blockbuster like Amaran, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi did not carry much craze before the release because of director AR Murugadoss’s recent form. Even the advance bookings also trended on a much slower note. However, the film’s day 1 numbers are unexpected.
The last hours of advance bookings for the film saw a good surge, and it opened with average WOM and reviews. Still, it targets a good opening in Tamil Nadu. The initial expectations were at 6 – 7 Cr gross on the opening day, but the film is all set for a double-digit start with good growth in collections after show by show.
Madharaasi Day 1 Numbers Are Good
When it comes to the Telugu version, the film had decent noon shows, but due to below-par WOM, the collections decreased show by show, which is disappointing.
Overall, Sivakarthikeyan’s Madharaasi gathers unexpected numbers on day 1, and the film sees a close to 20 Cr opening, which is definitely a good start. The positive sign for the film is the advances are promising for the weekend in Tamil Nadu.
