Kaththi
had
a
humungous
opening
as
expected
and
the
film
has
been
received
well
by
the
audience
so
far
despite
the
opposition
faced
by
the
movie
prior
to
its
release.
Kaththi
has
created
a
record
opening
in
Tamil
Nadu
collecting
a
whopping
12.5
crore
rupees.
It
has
easily
overtaken
the
opening
day's
box
office
collections
of
Jilla
and
Ajith's
Veeram.
The
film
was
well
received
in
Kerala
and
Karnataka
as
well.
In
Kerala,
where
the
film
was
expected
to
do
well,
it
has
collected
1.75
crore
rupees
on
the
first
day.
It
managed
to
collect
1.5
crore
rupees
in
Karnataka
and
the
total
first
day
collections
from
India
alone
is
said
to
be
approximately
16
crore
rupees.
It
has
also
created
an
all
time
record
for
a
non-Rajinikanth
starrer
in
the
US.
It
has
managed
to
fetch
$1,42,805
from
the
US
premiere
shows.
Other
than
Enthiran
and
Kaththi,
no
other
Tamil
film
has
fetched
over
$1,00,000
from
US
premiere
shows.
In
the
US,
it
is
expected
to
do
good
business
for
the
weekend
as
the
movie
has
got
positive
reviews.
If
Kaththi
manages
to
cross
$4,00,000
mark
in
the
US,
it
will
be
the
first
non-Rajinikanth
or
non-Kamal
Haasan
film
to
do
so.
Its
second
and
third
day
collections
so
far
is
pretty
good
as
well
but
the
competition
is
about
to
get
intensified
as
Sharukh
Khan's
Happy
New
Year
will
hit
screens
from
today.
But
based
on
its
first
and
second
day
box
office
collections,
the
movie
has
been
declared
a
hit.
