According
to
the
latest
trade
reports,
The
Villain
stayed
strong
at
the
Karnataka
box
office
on
Tuesday
(October
23,
2018)
and
collected
Rs
3.10
Crore,
much
to
the
delight
of
the
fans.
Its
total
collection
at
the
KBO
stands
at
nearly
Rs
27
Crore.
A
Big
Release
The
Villain
is
arguably
one
of
the
biggest
Kannada
films
in
the
recent
times.
Shot
against
a
budget
of
approximately
Rs
60
Crore,
it
has
been
released
across
nearly
500
screens
in
Karnataka
alone.
As
such,
there
is
nothing
too
surprising
about
these
impressive
collections.
Given
its
scale,
it
needs
to
stay
strong
for
atleast
15
days
in
order
to
emerge
as
a
winner.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
consensus
is
that
The
Villain
is
a
treat
for
Sudeep's
fans,
as
it
features
him
in
an
impressive
new
avatar
and
gives
him
ample
opportunities
to
showcase
his
abilities
as
an
actor.
However,
at
the
same
time,
some
fans
have
pointed
out
that
Shivarajkumar
has
been
given
relatively
less
prominence
when
compared
to
'Deepanna'.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
a
bit
mixed.
It
will
be
worth
watching
if
this
affects
The
Villain
in
Week
2.
The
Way
Ahead...
The
Villain
is
likely
to
stay
strong
in
the
coming
days,
as
there
is
virtually
no
competition.
If
the
collections
stay
respectable
in
Week
2,
The
Villain
might
end
up
becoming
a
hit.
Enough
said!
