Uttama Villain: Worldwide Box Office Collections(Third And Fourth Day)
Amidst confusion and financial issues, Kamal Haasan's Uttama Villain is slowly but surely gaining momentum at the box office all over the world.
In Tamil Nadu alone, the classical drama has grossed 17.15 crore rupees from its first four days with the fourth day(Tuesday) contributing 2.93 crore rupees.
The fifth day(Wednesday) box office collections in the home state is estimated at 1.5 crore rupees, indicating a dip in the collections.
When it comes to the weekend(Friday, Saturday and Sunday) collections in the overseas market, the film has particularly done well at the Land of Liberty(USA).
With Sunday contributing $81,382 the weekend collections in the US stands at an impressive $465,382 which amounts to a whopping 2.98 crore rupees.
While the collections in countries like Malaysia and Australia were steady throughout the weekend, Uttama Villain has taken a back seat in Canada and United Kingdom.
When Malaysia and Australia have contributed MYR 537,141(₹95.12 lakh) and A$140,208(₹69.30 lakh) respectively, Canada's weekend collections stands at $48,037 which is 30.58 lakh rupees.
In the UK, the collections on Monday were reportedly good but Tuesday saw a sudden drop in the business. In its first 5 days, the film has managed to pile a mere £82,798 which amounts to 80 lakh rupees.
As of Tuesday, the worldwide gross of Uttama Villain is estimated at 29.3 crore rupees and the official confirmation on that particular bit is awaited.
Check out the slides below to know how the movie has fared so far in Telugu(dubbed version) and in other parts of the world:
Joins The $500K Mark
According to the latest report, the film has already crossed the coveted half a million mark in the USA joining other biggies like I, Yennai Arindhaal and OK Kanmani. The total collections there now stands at $508,137.
Movie Trimmed!
While the Tamil version of the movie has been trimmed by 12 minutes in some states, the Telugu version has been trimmed by 21 minutes, indicating Uttama Villain's poor run at Telangana and Andhra Pradesh areas.
Facing Heavy Losses?
It is said that Ganga(Kanchana 2) is still ahead of Uttama Villain(Telugu) and that the Kamal Haasan movie is heading for a loss leaving the distributors in a spot of bother.
Same Story In The USA
When the Tamil version of the movie is doing great business in the USA, the Telugu version has tanked at the box office. It is reported that the dubbed version had only fetched $41K which amounts to 26.28 lakh rupees from its first weekend.
Kerala And Karnataka Remains A Mystery
It is still not clear how the movie has fared in Karnataka and Kerala as the trade sources from these regions have failed to divulge the box office information. However, it is said that the movie is doing 'decent' business in these two regions.
Trouble At The Top
Uttama Villain is yet to be released in many North Indian regions including Pune and Mumbai, according to a report. With the movie already facing troubles down south, its inability to reach the North Indian audience only adds to the already existing woes.
Mixed Reviews Not Helping Either
While a set of fans are claiming that Uttama Villain is Kamal's best till date, their contemporaries claim that the movie is actually boring and is difficult to understand, thanks to its complicated narration.
Will It Emerge As A Winner?
Despite the mixed reviews and financial woes, it is to be seen if Uttama Villain can emerge as a winner at the end of the day. If it does, it would definitely be a fitting tribute to the legendary Kamal Haasan and his unbelievable dedication towards Tamil cinema.
