Suriya starrer latest Kollywood flick directed by Venkat Prabhu had already bows down in front of the Malayalam release Premam in Kerala and it had already removed from many centers across Kerala. Sadly theater reports from Tamilnadu also shows that this flick had fallen down there too with complete negative reviews. The flick had got a great start there owing to the great fan base of Suriya there and it had collected rupees 17.5 crore in its opening weekend and the 3 collection was great.
But it had really failed to capitalize on the good start as the negative review spread all around and it fell down from making any impact at box office and not be able to break or create any box office records made by other stars in recent times in kollywood box office. Even though it had got a terrific opening that was not enough for Masss to beat the collection record in the opening weekends created by film like Kaththi starring Vijay, Linga starring Rajinikanth, Yennai Arinthal starring Ajith Kumar and I starring Vikram.
Ilaya thalapathy starrer Kaththi has earned rupees 40 cr from its first five days of theatrical run. Shankar- Vikram team’s I had got rupees 30 cr in its first 5 days as it did not get the tax exemption from the government due to its title. Super star Rajinikanth’s flick Linga stands in the second position after Kaththi with a gross over 31 crore from the first five days. And another film Thala Ajith’s Ennai Arinthal also grossed over 31 crores in the first five days leaving Masss behind at the bottom of the table.
The festival release helped Kaththi and I for sure but both had got great reviews as well from all around. The reviews which are negative has affected Mass in a bad way and it was the negative reviews that was really pulled down the film from its fantastic opening. Suriya has got great opening with his last film Anjan as well but that too failed to sustain that opening due to bad reviews all over. Mass seems to be a mass disappointment from the mass hero and mass director.
