The two Tamil films THUNIVU and VARISU have good business in the South with the latter coming out on top on all India basis with Tamil Nadu being neck to neck over the first five days. THUNIVU had the lead but got caught on the third day and VARISU went ahead after that.

The best performance comparatively was probably VARISU in Nizam/Andhra where it picked up a solid 9 crore nett over two days. THUNIVU picked up 61 crore nett over the first five days and VARISU collected 77 crore nett.

The level of success for these films depends on the business in Tamil Nadu and they continue in holiday period over the next couple of days and there could even be leftovers after that so are to sure to hold over this period. The films need to be around 90-100 crore in Tamil Nadu for the distributors to cover and the second weekend will probably be crucial for this.
