H. Vinoth's high-octane actioner, which opened in theatres on January 11 by locking horns with Vijay's Varisu, has received very extraordinary reception from fans around the world, furtherly it enters the 100-crore club.
In India, the film's earnings dropped to under 3 crore by Friday. Nonetheless, industry report suggests that this was anticipated and will gain steam again over the weekend.
As per reports, the 19 year old fan lost balance and fell down from a truck while dancing ahead of the first show of the film. He sustained severe back bone injury and rushed to hospital but it was too late to be saved.
Both movies are smashing it at the box office, thanks in large part to the massive extended weekend that began five days after their respective releases.
If Varisu and Thunivu had been released on different days, industry professionals predict that their combined earnings would have been four times as high.
