Sarkar
Does
Decent
Business
In
Tamil
Nadu
According
to
Velai
Pechu,
Sarkar
should
be
able
to
break
even
in
Tamil
Nadu.
However,
it
will
not
be
able
to
rake
in
much
profits
for
the
stakeholders.
The
film
never
really
clicked
with
the
family
audience
because
of
its
political
undertones.
The
mixed
reviews
and
controversy
surrounding
the
movie
too
wrecked
it
once
the
initial
hype
died
down.
Its
closing share
stands
at
Rs
72
Crore.
Sarkar
has
suffered
a
loss
of
nearly
11
Crore
in
Tamil
Nadu
Sarkar
Does
Average
Business
In
Karnataka
Sarkar's
performance
at
the
Karnataka
box
office
is
equally
ordinary.
It
will
break-even
but
fail
to
earn
any
profits.
Given
Vijay's
popularity,
such
a
result
is
anything
but
acceptable.
A
Flop
In
The
US
Even
though
Sarkar
opened
on
a
terrific
note
in
the
USA,
it
has
proved
to
be
a
commercial
failure.
As
per
the
early
estimates,
the
USA
distributor
is
set
to
suffer
a
loss
of
nearly
Rs
2.5
Crore
because
of
the
film's
lacklustre
performance.
A
Disaster
In
The
Telugu
States
Sarkar
has
underperformed
big
time
at
the
AP/TS
box
office.
Its
distributor
is
set
to
incur
a
loss
of
nearly
Rs
5
Crore
because
of
the
film's
dismal
box
office
run.
This
result
is
absolutely
shocking,
given
the
fact
that
Sarkar
had
virtually
no
competition
in
the
Telugu
states.
To
Conclude...
Unlike
Mersal,
Sarkar
is
not
really
a
commercial-entertainer.
It
is
an
out-and-out
political
film
that
raises
several
hard-hitting
questions
and
gives
the
audience
some
food
for
thought.
As
such,
it
was
not
the
right
film
for
the
festive
season
of
Diwali.
The
protests
of
AIADMK
too
kept
the
audiences
away
from
the
theatres
and
this
affected
the
box
office
collections.
