Ajith Kumar’s much-awaited film Valimai, which was released last month, is still going strong at the box office even after two weeks. The Tamil language action film crossed Rs. 100 crore mark in India on Sunday thereby making it his second film to go over the century mark.
Although the film had a slow start when released, it later picked up the pace. The film gave tough competition to Alia Bhatt starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi which was also released the same week. In spite of this, the film earned just above Rs. 104 crores in its eleven-day run.
Latest reports reveal that Ajith Kumar’s film Valimai collected Rs. 94.60 crores in the first week and saw a drop in the second weekend at steep 80 per cent. It was then reported that the collections dropped to very low levels during the weekdays and picked up during the weekends. The only bright spot was Sunday business, which recorded a big jump of 60 per cent or so.
