Mani Ratnam's epic period drama, Ponniyin Selvan I, finally opened in theatres on Friday to a thunderous welcome. As per trade sources, the film has made around ₹40 crore nett across India on its opening day, with a substantial but unconfirmed amount coming from overseas as well. However, industry insiders are confidently saying that the film has registered the best worldwide opening by any Tamil film this year, beating the likes of Vikram and Valimai.
Early estimates suggest the film made around ₹20 crore nett in Tamil Nadu, while the Hindi version netted around ₹2 crore. It has made an additional ₹16-18 crore in the rest of the country from its Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada versions, for a total pan-India first day nett collection of ₹40 crore.
Trade experts say the total worldwide gross collection of the film for its first day could be as high as ₹70 crore. The final number would only be clear by Saturday afternoon though. In any case, the number would be greater than Kamal Haasan's Vikram ( ₹54 crore) and Ajith's Valimai ( ₹50 crore), making PS1 the best-opening Tamil film this year. Trade experts are predicting the film to cross ₹200 crore globally in its opening weekend itself.
Now this is a hit
