Collections
According
to
the
latest
trade
estimates,
The
Villain
collected
nearly
Rs
1.50
Crore
at
the
Karnataka
box
office
on
Monday(October
29,
2018)
and
continued
its
glorious
run.
The
figure
is
lower
than
what
it
had
collected
on
Sunday(October
28,
2018).
However,
this
is
a
decent
total
considering
that
Monday
is
a
weekday.
The
Next
Few
Days
Are
Critical
The
Villain
is
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
ambitious
Kannada
films
in
the
recent
times.
In
Week
1,
it
was
released
on
over
500
screens
in
Karnataka
alone
and
this
was
a
record
in
its
own
right.
It
is
playing
on
a
good
number
of
screens
in
Week
2
as
well.
The
Villain
has
been
shot
against
a
budget
of
Rs
60
Crore
and
given
the
high
budget
and
the
scale
of
its
release,
it
needs
to
remain
strong
in
the
days
to
come
in
order
to
emerge
as
a
success.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
The
Villain
has
its
moments
and
it
does
full
justice
to
Deepanna's
on-screen
image.
However,
Shivanna
fans
are
unhappy
about
the
film
as
the
'Hattrick
Hero' has
been
given
less
importance
than
Sudeep.
The
screenplay
too
has
been
criticised
for
being
'illogical'.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
mixed.
And,
it
this
might
affect
the
film
in
the
days
to
come.
The
Way
Ahead...
Sudeep
and
SRK
are
the
biggest
names
in
Kannada
cinema
today.
Their
popularity
is
likely
to
help
The
Villain
remain
strong
in
the
days
to
come
and
break
a
few
records.
Enough
Said!
