HEROPANTI looks set to emerge the fourth hit film of 2014 after QUEEN, RAGINI MMS 2 and 2 STATES as it held up strongly on Monday with business of around 3.75-4 crore nett.

The film has now collected around 25 crore nett in four days and the week should should end up in the 35 crore nett region. The film has been doing well at most places outside the metros since Friday. But on Monday even a major metro like Delhi held up well which was one of its weaker markets.

KOCHADAIIYAAN did very well in its Tamil version while the Telugu version was average and the Hindi version is dull. In Tamil Nadu the film did fantastic business for a part animation, or a better way to put it photo realistic animated film, but maybe not up to the standards of a Rajinikanth starrer. The film was also released in Bhojpuri and Punjabi but these versions hardly collected.

The weekend business was purely on the superstars name as these type of films have no market in a Tamil Nadu, a state dominated by single screens. The film collected a little over 29 crore nett in its first weekend across India. The distributor share for the weekend will be a healthy 18 crore.
