By Ramchander
Producer
Udhyanidhi
Stalin
seems
to
have
made
a
right
choice
again
as
his
decision
to
produce
Vanakkam
Chennai
directed
by
his
wife
Kiruthiga
Udhayanidhi
has
embarked
on
a
good
opening
at
the
Tamil
Box
Office.
The
movie,
which
was
released
last
Friday
(October
11),
has
done
a
good
business
in
the
state.
Vanakkam
Chennai
was
released
with
a
lot
of
expectations
from
public
and
media
as
it
was
the
debut
directorial
movie
of
Kiruthiga
Udhyanidhi.
The
comedy
movie
clashed
with
other
release
Nayaandi
starring
Dhanush
and
Nazriya
Nazim.
However,
Udhayanidhi
Stalin
won
the
battle
as
it
had
a
better
opening
than
the
afore-mentioned
flick.
Shiva
and
Priya
Anand
starring
Vanakkam
Chennai
opened
up
to
mixed
reviews.
It
may
be
because
of
huge
expectations.
While
the
critics
declared
it
as
an
average
outing,
general
audience
did
not
bother
about
flaws
even
though
it
was
a
regular
movie
and
they
claimed
that
it
was
a
time-pass
movie.
This
factor
helped
the
film
to
get
a
good
start
at
Tamil
Box
Office.
Trade
reports
say
that
Vanakkam
Chennai
has
made
more
than
Rs
2.50
crores
(Gross)
in
the
first

The
holiday
season
factor
played
a
crucial
role
in
the
film's
success
at
the
collection
centres.
