Varisu had an extraordinary Monday at the box office, collecting Rs. 23 crores approx, which takes its total box office collection in India to Rs. 125 crores in six days. The Monday numbers of the film are similar to that of Saturday, though that has come to be due to the holiday period, but Saturday was already a huge number, to repeat the same on Monday is an extraordinary feat.
The film collected Rs. 16 crores approx in Tamil Nadu yesterday, which puts its six days total in the state at Rs. 81 crores approx. Yesterday was the day after Pongal, which is typically the best day for the box office during the Pongal holiday period in Tamil Nadu, though coming off Sunday, it would have been acceptable if the film had a minor drop even but the film saw a huge turnover in the smaller centres across the state, with many recording their best day since release.
In the South, the film has now collected Rs. 164 crores approx in just six days, which is an extraordinary feat. It has also collected Rs. 11 crores approx in Karnataka, Rs. 4.50 crores approx in Kerala and Rs. 1.50 crores approx in Andhra Pradesh.
The film has opened to an overwhelming response in the North with it collecting Rs. 17 crores approx in its first two days, which is an excellent start. It has also collected Rs. 4.50 crores approx in Mumbai, Rs. 2 crores approx in Delhi, Rs. 1.50 crores approx in UP and Rs. 1 crore approx in Punjab.
Today is the last day of the official holiday period in Tamil Nadu, though there will be some holiday leftover boost in some areas for a couple of days. With the holiday period coming to an end, the box office collections of Varisu will now depend on the word of mouth for the film.
