Irumugan movie staring Vikram, Nayanthara, Nitya menon released last week Thursday and got a mixed response among the audience. The film was appreciated for its visuals, grand making and the performance of Chiyaan in dual roles but disliked for its poor writing and slow screenplay from the mid pace of the movie.
As the movie is a Thursday release it looked for great 4 day weekend and to turn as a profitable venture by crossing the weekend itself! With an average word of mouth and biggies on board with a different concept, it became the first and only choice for movie goers as it has none other competition. The movie made 5.25 crores on its opening day in Tamilnadu which is the best of Vikram after I.
The movie collected a total of 18 crores in its 4 day weekend till sunday in TN which is a super good figure in terms of the distribution rights of the movie. And with the Bakrid holiday upto come in TN, it is an advantage for the movie to make a jump in week days. In kerala the movie is sure to get good figures with a long onam holidays going on.
