Saturday and Sunday should be very strong for the film and by the end of the extended weekend, it should move past Rs 200 crore worldwide. The film has a strong hold in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The grip is good in Karnataka also but the grip has fallen in Andhra. North India will not promote the film business.
