Mankatha, directed by Venkat Prabhu, registered a big drop in its second weekend. After wrapping its opening week on a promising note, the re-released movie could add just Rs. 75 lakh to the tally, bringing its total 10 days cume to Rs. 14.90 crore gross at the Indian box office.
The Ajith Kumar-led action thriller was on course to cross the lifetime cume of Thalapathy Vijay’s Ghilli until the end of its first week, however, the movie has now surrendered. That means, Ghilli will retain its re-release record of being the biggest grosser in Tamil Nadu. For the record, Ghilli grossed over Rs. 20.50 crore in its home state, while its all-India final collections was around Rs. 22.75 crore.
Nevertheless, Mankatha has emerged as a big success in its second inning, which speaks volumes of the popularity of the film among the audience and the love towards the Tamil cinema’s one of the biggest stars.
