Vijay starrer ‘
Mersal
’ has been embroiled in a political controversy ever since its release. However, it looks like all this trouble has worked in favour of the Atlee directorial at the worldwide box office.
According to reports, ‘Mersal’ collected an estimated sum of about Rs 160 crore to Rs 170 worldwide in its first week. The film reportedly earned Rs 45 crore from overseas market and the rest from the domestic box office, said a trade analyst under the condition of anonymity. The reason for such a whopping opening collection has been credited to the long
Diwali weekend as well as
Ilayathalapathy’s star power.
Right from day 1, ‘Mersal’ was looking to shatter box office records as it collected an estimated Rs 21 crore on its opening day, of which Rs 18 crore was grossed from the state of TamilNadu with the rest from Karnataka and Kerala.
With a relatable theme, star power, punch dialogues, emotional scenes, a message that connects with the audience, colourful visuals, peppy music, and masala moments, Mersal is said to have the perfect blend of ingredients to make it one of the year's most engaging mass masala movie.
