With a good pre-release buzz, the Kollywood romantic comedy entertainer opened to solid numbers. In the first four to five days, it maintained a strong hold at ticket windows due to the weekend and Diwali factor. Post-Diwali, it displayed significant drops. Still, it raked in a strong number of 56.5 crores during the 7-day opening week. On day 8, it dropped further and earned an estimated 1.16 crores.
