Chiyaan Vikram’s sci-fi drama Cobra was released in theatres on August 31st and opened to great opening day collections at the box office. Due to the decent hype around the movie, the opening day numbers were promising. It was also the second highest for Vikram after Shankar’s I movie.
But after an excellent opening day, Cobra seems to have lost its venom. The collections have plummeted in the Telugu states, with the day 2 collections closing in at 15-20% of the Day 1 collection. Even the Tamil version of the film witnessed a 50-60% drop in collections.
However, the makers are hoping that the film will pick up in the coming days due to the holiday advantage. Since Cobra was released on Wednesday, an average Thursday performance should not be that concerning. Having said that, the film needs to pick up pace today. Otherwise, it will end up becoming a flop at the box office.
The makers have also trimmed 40 minutes of the film by removing some unwanted scenes. They are hoping that this is enough to pull the audiences to the theatres.
Cobra has been directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu and produced by Lalit Kumar. The film also stars Srinidhi Shetty, Irfan Pathan, Mrinalini Ravi, and Roshan Matthew among others. AR Rahman is the music director of the film.
