Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan has been creating a storm at the Tamil Nadu box office by raking in huge numbers. The film is the dream project of the legendary director and the entire unit is ecstatic at the love the film is getting from all the territories in Tamil Nadu.
The film brought up the Rs 200 crore mark over the weekend and has in no time hit the magical Rs 250 crore mark as well. The team toured across India and extensively promoted this action adventure film based on the Chola dynasty. Ponniyin Selvan has now got off to a terrific start in all territories and has established an all-time record for the Tamil version.
However, the same can’t be said about the film’s performance in Telugu states. The movie had a very good 1st weekend in Telugu states but collapsed completely on Monday. From that point, there was no recovery and even on the festival day, its collections were not on par.
The film rights were bought for Rs 10 Cr, Including P&P and it has to collect more than Rs 12Cr for a break-even. However, looking at the current trend, the movie is expected to close below Rs 9Cr.
