Filmmaker Mani Ratnam's magnum opus 'Ponniyin Selvan 1', which is based on eminent writer Kalki's literary classic of the same name, is continuing with its fantastic run in theatres. After crossing the Rs 300 crore mark worldwide in a week, the film has now jumped over to minting more than Rs 350 crore at the worldwide box office within ten days of its release.Â
Clearly, 바카라˜Ponniyin Selvan바카라™ is on a rampage despite competition from Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan starrer 바카라˜Vikram Vedha바카라™. To say the least, the film has already witnessed the biggest ever opening in Tamil cinema, where it is having a strong run by pulling the crowd to the theatres. In fact, in the state, the collection of 바카라˜Ponniyin Selvan I바카라™ has crossed the lifetime collection of 바카라˜Viswasam바카라™ and 바카라˜Baahubali 2바카라™.
According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, the film, in Tamil Nadu, is only behind this year바카라™s blockbuster Vikram, which minted Rs 190 crore gross in the state.
Adding more feathers to its cap, the film is also the first non-Rajinikanth starrer in decades to become all-time number one Tamil film in the US. The collections of 바카라˜Ponniyin Selvan I바카라™ stand at $5,545,000, thereby taking over the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar starrer sci-fi blockbuster 바카라˜2.0바카라™, which had minted $5,509,317.
바카라˜PS-1바카라™ is also now this year바카라™s highest grossing Indian film in the UK, much ahead of 바카라˜KGF: Chapter 2바카라™, SS Rajamouli바카라™s 바카라˜RRR바카라™, and Bollywood바카라™s recent superhit 바카라˜Brahmastra바카라™.Â
For the unversed, 'Ponniyin Selvan' revolves around the early life of prince Arun Mozhi Varman, who later was known as the great Raja Raja Cholan. The film, which released on September 30, stars Karthi, Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, and others.
