As per day to day trends, Vettaiyaan looks to have a global opening of between Rs 65-70 crore. India’s gross collection should be in the range of Rs 40 crore. The film should collect at least another US$3 million from the international circuit to ensure that it can earn Rs 65-70 crore on its opening day.
In India, the heavy lifting is being done by the state of Tamil Nadu, which will contribute about 50 percent of the film’s opening day collections. Karnataka and Andhra states want to add Rs 12-13 crore between them. The film aims to earn Rs 6 crore from Kerala and rest of India.
