Talking about the latest collection update, Track Tollywood’s report has shared an interesting insight.

Set to beat Lal Salaam?
Sooner or later, Manjummel Boys will surpass the mark of 15 crores gross in the state, and in the lifetime run, even 20 crores gross is achievable. If this happens, it’ll surpass Kollywood’s Lal Salaam, which recently grossed 20 crores gross. It’s really shocking that a film featuring Rajinikanth‘s extended cameo is doing such a low business on home ground.
In the coming weeks, there’s no major competition as such at the Tamil Nadu box office. Also, due to public demand, shows in multiplexes are being increased continuously. So, there are high chances that Manjummel Boys might end up beating Lal Salaam.
