Ghilli, directed by Dharani, is among the most iconic movies of Thalapathy Vijay. Originally released in 2004, the sports action drama returned to the cinemas this weekend and it opened to a superb reception. Debuted with Rs. 60 lakh, the movie recorded a jump on Day 2 and collected Rs. 70 lakh, bringing the two-day cume to Rs. 1.30 crore gross at the Tamil Nadu box office.
Based on the current trends, Ghilli is looking to record its first weekend of Rs. 2 crore or so, which is a solid result for a film, which had a mega re-release just 2 years ago and holds the record for biggest re-release for the Tamil film industry by a huge margin. For the record, Ghilli collected over Rs. 20 crore in its home state during its previous re-release, which is still a dream to achieve for other re-releases.
It will be interesting to see how the Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan starrer performs in this inning. Even if the movie collects 1/3rd of what the movie did two years back will consider as a success.
Day-wise box office collections of Ghilli are as follows:

Lenin and VT Vijayan. The music for the film was composed by Vidyasagar.
