Shivaji
-
The
Boss
has
completed
50
days
in
nearly
800
theatres
worldwide.
It
was
the
first
film
to
ever
have
17
theatres
in
Chennai
City
and
24
theatres
in
the
Chennai
suburbs
screening
it.
At
50
days
and
running,
it
is
still
rocking
the
city.
It
has
beat
all
the
new
releases
including
Kreedom,
Veerappu
and
about
12
Hollywood
movies.
Tomorrow
the
film
will
celebrate
its
50th
day
of
running.
Despite
criticism
from
some
quarters
of
a
script
that
drags,
Superstar
Rajini's
charisma
has
sustained
the
film
for
it
to
run
for
50
days
worldwide.
He
has
managed
to
keep
the
Tamil
audiences
enthusiasm
glued
to
the
film
and
has
thereby
helped
the
film
get
a
record
collection
at
the
theatres.
The
most
recent
Box
Office
report
is
that
the
films
collection
in
Chennai
itself
is
10
crores.
The
investor
spent
on
6.2
crores
on
it
so
far.
Rajini
has
sen
to
it
that
the
film
remains
in
the
Top
5
movies
of
the
week.
After
the
film
come
Ajith's
Kreedom
and
Sundar
C's
Veerappu.
Despite
the
fall
in
the
number
of
theatres
showing
the
film,
the
film
still
has
maintained
90%
collection
on
weekdays
and
100%
collection
on
weekends.
Kreedom
has
fallen
slightly
but
has
maintained
its
position
no.
2
on
the
top
5
movies
list.
Next
is
the
Bruce
Willis
thriller
Die
Hard.
Following
that
is
Sundar
C's
Veerappu.
Megastar
Chiranjeevi's
Shankardada
Zindabad
got
an
impressive
opening
in
Chennai
this
week.
It
was
released
on
only
two
screens.
It
seemed
to
pull
through
despite
a
poor
response
from
Telugu
film
audiences.
Thee
Nagar
follows
