Can Suriya beat Vijay’s box office collections?
Suriya’s much anticipated Singam 3 has finally released today after a lot of postponing. The movie directed by Hari, is the third installment in the popular Singam franchise. Suriya is once again stepping into Durai Singam’s shoes and naturally expectations are on the higher side.
In Kerala, the movie is releasing in 218 screens (screens added in the last minute is not taken into account). Suriya’s movies normally have good openings in Kerala but after the inital rush, there has always been a steady fall in the audience count. Singam 3 is also expected to have a good opening. But, the question is can Singam 3 beat the collections of Vijay’s movies in Kerala.
Both the actors enjoy massive fan following in the State. But Vijay’s movies along with great openings also gets extended theaterical run. Interestingly, Vijay has three of his movies in the top 10 highest first day grossers in Kerala.
Jilla finds its name in the fourth spot in the list of highest first day grossers. The movie starring Mohanlal and Vijay in the lead roles grossed a whopping 2.61 crores on its opening day. Last year’s blockbuster movie, Theri stands sixth in the list with 2.4 crores. Vijay- AR Murugadoss team’s Kaththi had grossed 2.24 crore on its opening day and is placed eighth in the list.
Incidentally, none of Suriya’s movies are in the top 10. So the actor will be hoping to storm the box office with his latest outing Singam 3. While Singam was a commercial success in Kerala, the second part could only do average business.
Singam 3 has released amid good hype in a whopping 218 screens. So the movie stands a good chance to create waves in the Kerala box office. Stay tuned for the collection reports.
