Box office collection : Arrambam (Aarambam) collects 10.30 crore on opening (first) day

Chennai, Nov 2 (TruthDive): Ajith’s “Arrambam” has made an extraordinary business in Tamil Nadu and Kerala box office on its opening day. The movie has collected approximately 10.30 crore on its day of release, thus becoming the best ever opening for Ajith.

Trade analyst Sreedhar pillai tweeted, “#Arrambam – Ajith’s best ever opening !TN = Rs 8.75 Cr, Kerala =0.75, Karnataka =0.60 , North=0.20. Total = Rs 10.30 Cr (Approx). Super”. This is one of the biggest openings for an Ajith film and the trade experts are predicting that the movie will turn out to be a blockbuster.

“Arrambam” was relased on October 31, Thursday. The movie had a wide release with the film being shown in more than 500 screens in Tamil Nadu. Traders were expecting a good run on the opening day of Arrambam and as expected, Ajith starrer lived up to the expectations and raked in good collections on the debut day.

The number of screens for the film will be declining from today (November 2) as two new Tamil films – Karthi’s “All in All Azhaguraja” and Vishal’s “Pandiya Nadu” are hitting the screens.

Arrambam has to face competition with both these films from its third day. And it has to be seen if “Arrambam” will be able to withstand its momentum during the opening weekend.

Ajith starrer has received great feedback from both the critics and the audience. So, trade experts strongly believe it is likely to continue its good run at the box office and give out a tough competition for the other two Deepavali releases.

Directed by Vishnuvardhan, the movie also has Arya, Nayanthara and Taapsee playing main characters, whereas Yuvan Sankar Raja has scored music for the film. Movie is produced by A. M. Rathnam.

Meantime, Hirthik Roshan’s Bollywood movie Krrish 3 was released on November 1. It was expected to do well in TN as there is a huge fan base for Hirthik in the state. But, Ajith Kumar’s Arrambam affected Krrish 3 at the box office in the state.

Arrambam's overseas collection reports have been announced and the film is turning out to be a real out-performer. In the US, the film is already the second biggest Tamil grosser in 2013, after Vishwaroopam. From 73 reported screens, the Arrambam weekend gross in the US is 330,615 USD (2.04 crores) and this figure is expected to escalate in the coming weeks.

In the UK, Arrambam's performance has been described as excellent in trade circles and the film's weekend gross is 135,223 pounds (1.34 crores). The collection comes to 1.47 crores inclusive of the preview shows on Wednesday evening.

In Australia, the weekend gross is 55,953 ASD (32.79 lakhs). Arrambam has opened at the 2nd spot in the Malaysian weekend box-office and the gross figures haven't been reported yet. The performance has been remarkable in countries such as Singapore, UAE and Canada as well.
