Jana
Gana
Mana,
the
much-awaited
project
that
marked
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
comeback
to
big
screens
after
long
2
years,
finally
hit
the
theatres
on
April
28,
Thursday.
The
Dijo
Jose
Antony
directorial,
which
features
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Suraj
Venjaramoodu
in
the
lead
roles,
has
been
receiving
rave
reviews
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
According
to
the
trade
experts,
Jana
Gana
Mana
is
off
to
a
decent
start
at
the
box
office,
despite
not
having
a
massive
pre-release
hype.
Even
though
the
opening
shows
started
on
an
average
note,
the
audience
rush
increased
for
the
first
and
second
shows,
thanks
to
the
rave
reviews.
Reportedly,
Jana
Gana
Mana
has
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
around
Rs.
1.6
Crore
from
the
Kerala
box
office
alone,
on
its
Day
1.
When
it
comes
to
the
worldwide
box
office,
Jana
Gana
Mana
has
reportedly
made
a
total
gross
collection
of
around
Rs.
2.2
Crore.
This
is
not
a
highly
impressive
box
office
figure,
considering
the
budget
of
the
film.
However,
the
rave
reviews,
word-of-mouth
publicity,
and
the
long
weekend
ensure
that
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
will
make
a
great
first
weekend
opening
at
the
box
office.
Jana
Gana
Mana
revolves
around
the
journies
