Tamil film Youth is faring well at the box office. Released on March 19, the coming-of-age-drama debuted with Rs. 4 crore and then recorded a promising extended weekend of Rs. 20 crore. The movie kept on gaining traction on weekdays as well, when it added Rs. 8 crore to the tally from Monday to Thursday.
That took its 8-day extended opening week to Rs. 28 crore gross at the Indian box office. This is a solid total for a film that has no star face. What works very well for the film is its content! The movie garnered a positive reception among the audience, which helped it in a big way. It turned out to be another Hit for Kollywood after Thaai Kizhavi.
Furthermore, the movie had no significant competition in its home state, other than Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge’s dubbed version. Since the Ranveer Singh starrer was not a wide release in Tamil Nadu, Youth established an upper hand in its opening week.
