There were two big Tamil films released on Thursday and PETTA is slowly coming out on top in a close battle. The figures in Tamil Nadu are better for VISWASAM as it probably has more for the local audience but PETTA is well ahead in other markets like Karnataka and Kerala. Though it cant be said that PETTA has really done well in these markets.

The six day NETT collections of PETTA and VISWASAM are as follows.

Petta
Tamil Nadu - 46,00,00,000
Karnataka - 12,00,00,000
Andhra Pradesh - 5,00,00,000
Kerala - 5,25,00,000
Hindi Markets - 3,00,00,000 (Hindi version is disaster and the better collections are from original Tamil version)
TOTAL - 71,25,00,000 apprx

Viswasam
Tamil Nadu - 51,00,00,000
Karnataka - 6,25,00,000
Kerala - 2,50,00,000
Hindi Markets - 50,00,000 (No Hindi version, only Tamil)
TOTAL - 60,25,00,000

The gap between the films is 11 crore nett on an all India basis but PETTA has a wider release. If PETTA can catch VISWASAM in Tamil Nadu then it will come out the clean winner as in a clash the home market is very important.

There were two big Tamil films released on Thursday and PETTA is leading in a very tight battle. The two day collections of PETTA are 35.50 crore nett and the other release VISWASAM has collected 33.50 crore nett.

But if you consider that VISWASAM has not been released in Hindi markets (although collections of PETTA are hardly anything here) and Andhra Pradesh then this film is actually doing better than PETTA. Also the budget of this film is less.

The budget though brings in Overseas and there it is a one horse race with PETTA leading by leaps and bounds. It will probably be about PETTA staying ahead in India in the long PETTA which should enable it to come out ahead in the clash.
