Sivakasi takes it all

Many films hit the theatres this Diwali hoping to see the bright lights. But most of them were pushed to the dark corners. Only ‘Sivakasi’ managed to hit the box office really hard. Vijay’s ‘Sivakasi’ did very well this Diwali in spite of the torrential rains. It had 100 percent collections for three consecutive days all over the state.

The collection at Kolathur Ganga theatre on Diwali day was a whooping Rs.7.26 lakhs. Meanwhile, another big film ‘Maja’ failed terribly at the box office. The trade feels that the film failed due to lack of confinement. Moreover, the audience doesn’t want to see Vikram with such a weak character. The collection of the film is dipping every passing day. However, other Deepavali releases ‘Athu Oru Kana Kalam’ and ‘Perusu’ were utter flops. The collection of these films is meager.
