While

and
$130,000
(approx)

massive
$440,000
from

premiere
and
first

mouth

all
set
to

Though

the
state
of
Tamil
Nadu
and
remaining

alone.
In

alone,

is
said
to
have
collected
more
than
60
Lakh
rupees
by
the
end
of

If
sources
are
to
be
believed,
the
movie
bankrolled
by
Suriya
himself,
has
collected
big

Being
a
high
quality
sci-fi
thriller
that
explains
the
concept
of
time
traveling
in
a
simple
way,
