According to the critics Puli starred by Ilaya Thalapathy Vijay not at all raised to the level of expectation and even the audience review for the film was not at all good. There was great anticipation for the film and that my caused the reason for its negative word of mouth as the film failed to raise its standard up to the sky high hopes of the viewers. Despite the negative reviews the flick has been done pretty well in box office so far and the collection report says so. As per trade guides the flick had raked in amount around 60 crores worldwide from just six days.
The collection reports are coming is not official but as per the trade pundits the actual figure will be around this estimated figure of 60 crores for sure. The flick had raked in around 50 crores from its opening weekend and from the next two days it is got around another 10 crores as well. In Chennai city it is doing great business at it had broken the Baahubali opening weekend collection there.
Baahubali had got rupees 1.66 crores from Chennai city from its tamil and telugu versions while puli had earned rupees 2.84 crores from its opening weekend. The flick had 465 shows with an occupancy around 90% which really helped it to rake in that much money. Bahubali had only 363 shows there in the opening weekend. But the flick bahubali earned that 1.66 crores in just 3 days and Puli got one extra day of weekend as it had released on Thursday.
The Hindi version of the film is a disaster as the Akshay Kumar starrer film Singh Is Bling went super success in north India. But the tamil and telugu version saving the film. From tamil nadu alone the flick had grossed close to 30 crores out of the total 60 crores of worldwide business. The flick has all the chance to be in the 100 crore club as there is no major tamil release in two weeks and it is likely to maintain its screens.
