Shankar is one of the most iconic and successful directors in Indian cinema. It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that he raised the Tamil cinema market in several territories. He is also instrumental in creating a solid market for Tamil movies in Telugu and Hindi. But for the first time in his 3 decades-long career, the ace director has faced complete rejection by audiences with Indian 2.
2 Point 0 and Boys may be economic failures in some aspects but they brought audiences to theatres and posted good numbers. Boys did a pretty good job in Telugu whereas 2 Point 0 is still an industry hit for Kollywood.
Even Vikram’s I put up pretty good numbers despite of negative reviews and became one of the biggest grossers of Kollywood at that time. It’s only with Indian 2 that Shankar had to face a failure of this level.
Indian 2 has just collected 130 Cr gross in 1st week and the full run will be less than 170 Cr. This was never expected from Shankar film. The film is incurring losses in every territory and is on its way to becoming one of the biggest disasters in Kollywood history
