By Ramchander
Naan
Sigappu
Manithan
has
got
fantastic
opening
at
the
Box
Office
on
the
first
day.
The
Tamil
film
has
got
overwhelming
response
from
Vishal
Krishna
and
Lakshmi
Menon's
fans
worldwide.
Despite
facing
a
strong
competition
from
last
week
release
Maan
Karate
starring
Sivakarthikeyan
and
Hansika
Motwani,
the
latest
flick
has
done
good
business
on
the
release
day.
Pre
Hype
No
movie
of
Vishal
Krishna
in
the
recent
years
had
generated
such
a
curiosity
in
the
minds
of
audience.
His
Naan
Sigappu
Manithan
has
been
getting
good
response
from
media
and
audience
because
of
the
fresh
subject.
Well,
the
concept
of
narcolepsy
is
something
that
our
audience
had
never
heard
of.
Hence,
people
got
attracted
when
they
saw
Vishal
in
that
role.
Kiss
Factor
The
kissing
scene,
which
has
cost
the
movie
'U'
certificate,
has
got
good
attention
of
mass
audience.
Though
the
film
is
not
eligible
for
the
30%
tax
exemption,
the
movie
bosses
were
sure
of
pulling
audience
with
the
hyped
lip-lock
between
Vishal
Krishna
and
Lakshmi
Menon.
Box
Office
Maan
Karate
is
still
ruling
the
Box
Office.
But
this
did
not
affect
Naan
Sigappu
Manithan
to
much
extent
as
it
has
got
decent
number
of
screens
for
its
release.
Traders
predict
that
the
Vishal's
film
has
garnered
more
than
Rs
2.5
crores
from
Tamil
Nadu
on
the
release
day.
