The Mani Ratnam directorial epic film Ponniyin Selvan-1 which was released a while back has been doing stunningly well at the global box office. While in India, the Tamil version of the film has seen its business soar with each passing day, the Hindi dubbed version has been facing slight difficulty in finding an audience. However, at the worldwide box office PS-1 has been firing on all cylinders, raking in the moolah at the box office window.
Now nearing the end of its third week in theatres, Ponniyin Selvan-1 has managed to record staggering collections. Drawing in Rs. 456.25 cr. at the worldwide box office, PS-1 has emerged as the second all-time highest Tamil grosser at the worldwide box office. In fact, the film, which has become the first non-Rajinikanth starrer to enter the top three highest Tamil film grossers, has surpassed the business of previous releases like Kabali which collected Rs. 432.79 cr., and Vikram which collected Rs. 410.25 cr. However, leading the list is the Akshay Kumar – Rajinikanth starrer 2.0 that managed to rake in a staggering Rs. 800 cr. at the worldwide box office.
Going further, Ponniyin Selvan-1 continues to run in theatres, and is expected to see its business grow further. As per trade predictions, the box office collections of PS-1 will see an increase over its fourth weekend running, closing the gap to the business of 2.0.
