beyond
any
doubt,
one
of
the
biggest
and
most
popular
and
sucessful
names
in
the
Kannada
film
industry.
Fondly
called
'Shivanna',
the
star
enjoys
a
strong
fan
following
thanks
to
his
regal
on-screen
image,
impressive
looks
and
versatility
as
an
actor.
A
veteran
in
his
own
right,
SRK
has
also
won
the
love
of
countless
movie
goers
courtesy
his
humble
nature
.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
film
The
Villain.
The
Prem
directorial
hit
the
screens
on
Thursday(October
18,
2018)
and
opened
to
a
fabulous
response
at
the
ticket
window.
It
did
equally
well
on
Friday(October
19,
2018)
and
remained
the
pick
of
the
audience.
Here
is
the
complete
box
office
report
Day
2
Collections
According
to
the
latest
reports,
The
Villain
collected
nearly
Rs
3.5
Crore
at
the
Karnataka
box
office
on
Day
2
and
remained
steady.
The
film's
2-day
Karnataka
gross
stands
at
Rs
10.5
Crore.
Needess
to
say,
this
is
quite
an
impressive
figure
and
proves
that
The
Villain
mania
has
gripped
Karnataka.
The
Stakes
Are
Pretty
High
The
biggest
Kannada
film
in
the
recent
times,
The
Villain
has
been
released
on
1000
screens
worldwide.
In
Karnataka
alone,
it
has
been
released
on
500
screens
and
this
might
help
it
rake
in
the
moolah
in
the
opening
week
and
rule
the
box
office.
Given
its
impressive
budget
and
the
wide
release,
The
Villain
needs
to
have
a
long
and
successful
run
at
the
box
office
in
order
toemerge
as
a
profitable
venture.
TheThe
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
The
Villain
is
a
delight
for
Sudeep's
die-hard
fans
and
it
features
quite
a
few
good
scenes.
However,
at
the
same
time,
a
few
critics
have
said
that
the
screenplay
is
a
bit
‘illogical' at
points.
Moreover,
the
Shivanna
army
is
a
bit
upset
as
Sudeep
has
been
given
more
prominence
than
the
‘Simple
Ruling
King'.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
a
mixed.
The
Way
Ahead...
Given
the
stellar
cast
and
the
wide
release,
The
villain
will
most
probably
do
pretty
well
on
Saturday(October
20,2018)
and
Sunday(October
21,
2018)
and
rule
the
BO
.
Enough
said!
