Karthi's
Madras
has
opened
up
to
wonderful
reviews
from
critics
and
audience.
The
movie
has
also
got
good
opening
at
the
Box
Office
in
the
first
weekend.
Madras
was
released
with
less
expectation.
Unlike
Karthi's
earlier
movies,
this
flick
remained
low
key
and
it
was
not
publicised
much.
This
factor
played
a
significant
role
in
its
success.
As
people
did
not
have
huge
expectations,
the
flick
has
managed
to
win
the
audience's
mandate.
On
the
release
day,
Madras
got
a
good
opening
in
Chennai
and
the
overall
response
in
the
state
was
just
average.
But
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
(September
27
and
28
respectively),
the
Tamil
movie
performed
well
and
enjoyed
good
occupancy
in
the
state
due
to
good
word-of-mouth.
The
early
trade
reports
say
that
Madras
has
raked
in
about
Rs.75
lakhs
in
the
first
weekend
in
Chennai.
The
Tamil
movie
has
made
about
Rs.4
crores
from
other
regions.
Madras
is
an
action-drama
movie
written
and
directed
by
Pa.Ranjith.
The
realistic
presentation,
well-written
screenplay,
good
performances
of
the
lead
stars,
mesmerising
music,
brilliant
camera
work
and
editing
are
the
highlights
of
the
movie.
