After
going
through
several
troubles
at
the
eleventh
hour
of
its
release,
Silambarasan's
Osthi
has
got
a
flying
start
at
the
Box
Office.
The
movie
released
on
December
8
has
managed
to
attract
the
masses
despite
getting
mixed
reviews.
Osthi
hit
the
screens
on
December
8
with
a
lot
of
hype.
The
movie
did
not
release
in
as
many
theatres
as
it
was
announced
before
due
to
some
trouble
between
the
makers
of
the
film
and
the
Tamil
Nadu
Theatre
Owners
Association
(TNTOW).
However,
it
was
sorted
out
by
Friday
and
Osthi
was
released
all
across
Tamil
Nadu
on
Friday.
According
to
trade
reports,
the
Tamil
movie
received
75-80%
occupancy
on
the
second
and
close
to
90%
in
weekends.
Osthi
is
a
remake
of
Bollywood
blockbuster
Dabangg.
The
Tamil
version
directed
by
Dharani
features
Richa
Gangopadhyay,
Sonu
Sood,
Revathi,
Ganesh,
Githan
Ramesh
and
others.
