Review
In Chennai, the movie, which is made with the budget of 40 crores, ran into packed house in all the theatres. The state government's decision to permit five shows at single screens turned out to be blessing for exhibitors, distributors and the producer. This helped the people, who are involved in the business, to cash in on the occasion and to make quick money.
A theatre owner says, "It is a wonderful time for cine goers as they are getting big releases for Pongal. We are also happy because of the wonderful turnout that we witnessed on Friday. We are hoping that the same trend will continue for the next few weeks." Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
In Chennai
The occupancy for the movie on the release day was cent percent in Chennai. Early reports say that Jilla has got around 90+ occupancy on the first day worldwide. This means that the film has made amazing business.
Worldwide Occupancy
For the first show, the occupancy was 80+ percent worldwide. But the following shows saw a gradual rise to end the first day on a very positive note.
Collection In TN
A trader predicts that Jilla could have made around Rs 8 crore on the first day. The collection will remain the same over the first weekend. And if the figure turns out true, it will be better than Vijay's last movie Thalaivaa.
Fans Crazy
A distributor adds, "Looking at the initial response, we feel that the film would make record collections. Fans are running crazy and many are watching it repeatedly. Not only in main centres, the response is good in unpopular markets too for Jilla."
Can Jilla Get Same Response For Next Few Days?
Many traders say that if the response could last for the next eight days at all the centres, producer would be in profit. We have to note that the satellite rights, distribution rights and other rights have earned good money for the makers of the film.
In Kerala
Jilla has got never-heard response in Kerala where the film is released in close to 200 screens. A trader explains, "Usually, a big-budget movie will be released in around 100 screens in Kerala. But in case of Vijay, we could expect 100-120 screens. However, this time the Mohanlal factor played a big role in getting maximum number of screens."
Mohanlal Factor
The trader adds, "Mohanlal is distributing the movie and he has ensured to give a mega opening to Jilla. And the film has got a never-before opening in the God's Own Country."
In Karnataka
The situation in Karnataka is good for Jilla. Especially in Bangalore, the film ran packed houses in the morning shows.
