Finally, the wait for Ponniyin Selvan 2 has ended as the movie has been released in theatres. Part two of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus has been receiving immense love and good word of mouth and has a big bang at the box office opening on the first day of its release. As we all know, the first part of the film was a big hit in southern India as well. Seeing the reviews of the second part it seems that it will indeed become record-breaking.

According to earlier estimates, Director Ratnam’s movie earned nearly Rs 33-35 crores across languages on the first day. The advance booking of the movie was pegged to be around 10 crores. However, positive word of mouth has resulted in many flocking to the theatres to watch this grand movie. The first part of the instalment grossed Rs. 327 crores nearly in India and over Rs. 169 crores ($20.70 million) overseas. The global box office gross of the film stood around Rs. 496 crores.
