Last
year,
the
dashing
Vijay
became
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons
when
his
film
Mersal
opened
to
an
enviable
response
at
the
ticket
window
and
received
rave
reviews
from
the
target
audience.
Directed
by
Atlee,
it
featured
'Thalapathy'
in
a
triple
role
and
turned
out
to
be
a
good
Diwali
gift
for
the
movie
buffs.
The
film
also
upset
th
BJP
because
of
a
scene
that
ridiculed
GST.
And,
as
expected,
this
added
to
the
buzz
surrounding
the
mass
entertainer.
At
present,
he
is
in
the
limelight
because
of
his
latest
release
Sarkar.
The
;political-thriller
hit
the
screens
on
November
6,
2018
and
it
has
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
at
the
Chennai
box
office.
Here
is
the
complete
report.
Day
1
Collections
According
to
the
latest
reports,
Sarkar
raked
in
nearly
Rs
2.37
Crore
at
the
Chennai
box
office
on
Day
1
and
opened
on
an
enviable
note.
The
film
seems
to
have
benefited
big
time
from
the
Diwali
holiday.
Sarkar
Beats
Kaala
Sarkar
has
outperformed
the
Kaala
and
Vishwaroopam
2.
The
Rajinikanth
starrer
had
collected
nearly
Rs
1.77
Crore
on
the
opening
day
and
beaten
Mersal.
On
the
other
hand,
Kamal
Haasan's
spy-thriller
had
collected
Rs
92
Lakh
on
Day
1
despite
releasing
days
after
M
Karunanidhi's
death.
This
is
quite
a
feat
and
it
proves
that
‘Thalapathy'
is
the
choice
of
the
common
man.
The
WOM
Is
Mixed
The
general
feeling
is
that
Sarkar
is
a
pretty
good
that
does
full
justice
to
Vijay's
mass
hero
image.
The
film
has
also
received
praise
for
dealing
with
several
burning
political
issues.
However,
at
the
same
time,
some
critics
have
also
pointed
out
that
Sarkar
is
not
as
good
as
Kaththi
and
Thuppaki.
As
such,
the
WOM
is
a
bit
mixed.
And,
this
might
affect
the
film
in
the
days
to
come.
The
Way
Ahead...
Sarkar
is
set
to
have
a
free
run
over
the
weekend
and
rake
in
plenty
of
moolah.
All
in,
one
can
expect
the
film
to
shatter
a
few
more
records
in
the
coming
days.
Vijay
mania
is
upon
us.
Enough
said!
