The film benefited from the Diwali holiday period, with business remaining at elevated levels on weekdays. The film is now out of the holiday period, with business returning to normal in South India yesterday. In North, there was still some holiday boost there yesterday, with the Hindi version holding very well. From Today, it will be pretty much normalcy across the board, except maybe some minor help here and there.
The film is poised to become the Highest Grosser of the Year, surpassing Chhaava. It has a shot at hitting the Rs. 700 crore mark, though that will depend on hold in the coming weeks, particularly the fourth week.
