The
self-made
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
arguably
the
biggest
and
most
popular
actor
in
Tamil
cinema
today.
Fondly
called
'Thalaiva',
the
matinee
idol
enjoys
a
strong
fan
following
thanks
to
courtesy
his
mesmerising
on-screen
mannerisms
and
humble
nature.
He
is
currently
in
the
limelight
thanks
to
his
latest
release
2.0.
The
Shankar-directed
magnum
opus
hit
the
screens
on
Thursday
and
set
the
Chennai
box
office
on
fire.
It
collected
Rs
2.64
Crore
on
Day
1
and
beat
Sarkar.
It
remained
strong
during
the
subsequent
days
and
reigned
supreme.
On
Monday(December
3,
2018),
it
witnessed
a
noticeable
drop
in
the
collections.
Here
is
the
2.0
Day
5
report.
2.0
Slows
Down
According
to
Ramesh
Bala,
2.0
raked
in
nearly
Rs
1.32
Crore
at
the
Chennai
box
office
on
Monday
and
continued
its
dream
run.
This
figure
is
considerably
lower
than
the
Day
1
collections.
However,
this
should
not
be
a
cause
of
worry
as
Monday
was
a
working
day.
The
5-day
gross
currently
stands
at
Rs
11.4
Crore.
It
Remains
The
Boss
Believe
it
or
not,
2.0's
Day
5
collections
are
a
lot
higher
than
the
opening
day
figures
of
films
such
as
Seema
Raja(Rs
1
Crore)
and
Vishwaroopam
2(Rs
92
Lakh).
And,
this
clearly
proves
that
it
is
the
top
pick
of
the
fans.
Rajini
Is
Still
The
‘Only
One’
Rajinikanth's
previous
two
releases
Kaala
and
Kabali
did
not
quite
live
up
to
the
expectations.
Despite
featuring
strong
narratives,
they
failed
to
do
justice
to
Rajini's
‘mass
hero' image
and
this
left
the
fans
heartbroken.
The
lukewarm
response
to
these
films
affected
Rajini's
bankability.
2.0
has
proved
that
‘Thailaiva'
is
still
the
guy
to
beat
and
silenced
his
detractors
in
a
big
way
The
Future
Looks
Bright
The
general
feeling
is
that
2.0
is
a
visual
treat
that
boasts
of
a
gripping
plot
and
some
impressive
performances.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
quite
healthy
and
this
bodes
well
for
2.0.
The
positive
WOM
and
the
lack
of
any
competition
should
help
the
film
remain
unstoppable
in
the
coming
days.
If
this
happens,
it
might
shatter
some
more
records
in
no
time.
Enough
said!
