Shankar's latest 'I' opened
on January 14th, a day ahead of Pongal, and witnessed jam-packed halls
all over the state till Sunday, January 18th. The film had all the best
screens in the state and was given record number of shows in all the
leading multiplexes. In Chennai city, the 5-day opening weekend gross
was estimated at around 3.84 crores by us at Behindwoods.
From across Tamil Nadu, from trusted trade sources, we hear that 'I' has grossed close to 40 crores after
its first 5 days. This is among the best ever first weekend
performances by a Tamil film in the state. The official press release is
still awaited.
With rave reviews for Vikram's performance and a big curiosity
surrounding the film, 'I' is expected to continue the momentum in the
coming days and weeks too.
