The Tamil film PONNIYIN SELVAN - PART 2 has recorded very good collections on day one driven by the business in Tamil Nadu and its all India collections will be above 20 crore nett at around 23-24 crore nett. These collections are very good but lower than the first part of the film released in September 2022 which grossed around 30 crore nett.

The first part of the film is the biggest grosser ever in Tamil Nadu with collections of 170 crore nett plus and also the biggest BLOCKBUSTER for the Tamil film industry in recent times. It was the second highest grossing film after 2.0 but that film was mainly down to the Hindi version. Take that out and then PONNIYIN SELVAN - PART 1 is miles better, especially in Tamil Nadu.

The fact that the opening is 25-30% down on the first film makes it tough to reach the numbers of the first film but as a stand alone product, it should get good numbers. As far as Tamil cinema goes, this year the opening is second best after the 16 crore nett of THUNIVU in Tamil Nadu. PONNIYIN SELVAN - PART 2 and VARISU both have opened around 14 crore nett.

In terms of all India, it is the highest opening for the Tamil film industry as THUNIVU and VARISU did 22 core nett and 21.50 crore nett respectively. The overseas numbers are huge but again less than the first film.

The opening day business of PONNIYIN SELVAN - PART 2 in India is as follows.

Tamil Nadu - 14,00,00,000

Nizam/Andhra - 2,25,00,000

Mysore/Karnataka - 3,00,00,000

Kerala - 2,25,00,000

Hindi Circuits (all languages) 2,25,00,000
