Earlier,
we
had
predicted
that
the
box
office
collections
of
Simbu's
Vaalu
might
be
close
to
8
crore
rupees
on
its
opening
weekend
(first
three
days)
from
Tamil
Nadu
alone,
based
on
its
theatre
occupancy
and
opinions
from
trade
analysts.
Though
the
official
box
office
figures
for
the
whole
of
Tamil
Nadu
has
not
yet
been
ascertained,
reliable
sources
suggest
that
Vaalu
has
collected
1.03
crore
rupees
from
its
first
three
days
in
Chennai
city
alone.
This
collection
of
over
a
crore
just
from
the
Capital
city
is
pretty
decent
for
a
Simbu
starrer
considering
the
competition
it
had
to
face
from
Arya's
25th
flick
Vasuvum
Saravananum
Onna
Padichavanga
(VSOP).
Talking
about
VSOP,
it
is
said
that
the
Arya-Tamannaah
starrer
went
on
to
collect
96.4
lakh
rupees
in
Chennai
from
its
opening
weekend
which
proves
that
both
Vaalu
and
VSOP
enjoyed
a
good
run
over
the
weekend.
In
the
United
States,
Vaalu
had
a
pretty
ordinary
run
until
Saturday.
Collecting
$1.5K
from
its
Thursday
premieres,
the
Simbu
starrer
went
on
to
collect
$12.6K
and
$10.4K
from
Friday
and
Saturday
respectively,
according
to
a
source.
The
overall
gross
from
USA
(excluding
Sunday)
now
stands
at
$24,501
which
when
converted
becomes
15.98
lakh
rupees.
Stay
tuned
for
more
official
box
office
numbers
of
Vaalu
and
VSOP.

its
good
run
over

as
well.
VSOP
Arya's
VSOP
enjoyed
a
run
almost
similar
to
that
of
Vaalu
in
Chennai.
Thanks
to
some
decent
reviews
from
fans
and
critics,
the
movie
picked
up
quite
well
on

and
third
day.

MI
5's
total
collection
in
the
city
stands
at
1.05
crore
rupees.
Though
the

dropped
last

terms
in
multiplexes
and
therefore
takes
the
fifth
place.
Srimanthudu
With
a
total
collection
of
68.1
lakh
rupees,
Mahesh
Babu's
Srimanthudu
(Selvandhan

Tamil)
takes
the
sixth
slot
at
Chennai
box
office.
It
is
said
that
the
movie's
collections
dropped
drastically
over
the
past
weekend.
